Intended use

Philips health band measures, tracks, and analyzes movement and physiological parameters. These metrics are intended as input for behavioral change programs for managing lifestyle of individuals with risk of or affected by weight and activity related chronic disease.

Investigation of these parameters is used in the assessment of the physiological state of a person and their daily physical activity level. For people at risk of these lifestyle related chronic diseases or patients with a pre-existing condition, the continuous monitoring of these parameters can give insight in changes of heart rate and daily physical activity.

The non-medical purpose is measurement of: steps, resting respiration rate and sleep patterns, and providing: automatic activity recognition (cycling, running, walking), a heart rate zone indication and sedentary behavior alerting, for wellness purposes.

The device is intended for 24/7 use in daily life, both indoor and outdoor, by adults of 18 years and older.

The Philips health band is intended to be used by one adult consumer only.

Operating principle

The Philips health band is a wrist-worn activity (accelerometer) and heart rate measurement device that uses the Opticardiogram technology. The general operating principle of this Opticardiogram technology is based on LEDs emitting light through the surface of the skin. Part of that light is reflected and collected by the photo sensor.

The blood flow in the arteries is driven by the heart beating and pumping blood. The blood flow changes over time. Therefore, the amount of light reflected varies over time. The sensor in the health band collects this change in reflection of light.

IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

Warning: READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE

USING

When using battery-operated products, especially when children are present, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Contraindications

-Do not use this device if you have skin problems or wounds in the wrist area. Otherwise, these symptoms may get worse or last longer.

Warning

-It is important to always listen to your body first, instead of only relying on measurements of the health band. Too intense exercising may cause health problems like feeling dizzy or faint, nausea, temporary chest pain or exhaustion.

-Consult your doctor before you start exercising in the following situations:

-If you have heart disease, kidney disease and/or diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2.

-If you are taking medicines for high blood pressure and/or that influence your (maximum) heart rate. (In case of doubt, please check with your doctor).

-If you have a heart condition or if you are in cardiac rehab.

Ask your doctor about which exercises you can do and what your target heart rate should be. Exercising with a too high heart rate could cause health problems like temporary chest pain, heart overload or exhaustion.

-Always consult your doctor first before you start or continue exercising if you experience any of the following signs or symptoms:

-If you feel dizzy or nauseated or feel that you are about to faint.

-If you feel unusually tired or exhausted during normal activities.

-If you feel pain in your chest, neck, jaw or arms.

-If you feel your heart beats too hard or too fast.

-If you are short of breath during rest or mild exertion, when lying flat or during the night.

-If you have a known heart murmur.

-If you have swollen ankles.

Exercising with any of these symptoms might increase the risk of heart problems.

-Avoid vigorous to near-maximal activity if you are not very active or not accustomed to this. Too intense exercising may increase the risk of injuries (e.g. falls, sprains) and may cause health problems like fainting, nausea, temporary chest pain or exhaustion.

-During pregnancy:

-Always follow your doctor's advice on weight management, exercise type, frequency, duration, intensity and rest intervals.

-The heart rate zone indicator is not applicable.

-Make sure that you update your weight in the app on a regular basis. Failure to do so might result in inaccurate energy expenditure (calorie burn) estimation.

Heart rate related algorithms and resting respiration rate are not validated for pregnant women.

-Keep the device out of reach of infants, children or pets. Inhalation or swallowing of small parts can be dangerous.

-Sleep tracking should not be used for diagnosis or treatment in case of sleep disorders. The algorithms are not validated for people with sleep disorders and thus may give inaccurate results in these cases.

-Only use a double-insulated IEC60950-1 class II USB adapter or USB port to charge the device Check if the symbol for double insulation is on the adapter: .

If you don’t use a double-insulated IEC60950-1 class II USB adapter it could malfunction. This may cause injury, e.g. electrical shock, or damage.

-Only use the charger and detachable parts authorized by the manufacturer. The use of unauthorized parts or accessories may cause injury, e.g. electrical shock, or damage.

-Do not modify the device or charger. This could result in injuries, e.g. electrical shock.

-This device can be used by persons with reduced physical or mental capabilities, or lack of understanding and knowledge. They can only use the device under supervision or after instruction by a person responsible for their safety.

-To reduce the risk of skin irritation, follow the instructions in chapter 'Wearing the health band'.

GENERAL RECOMMENDATIONS

-Read this user manual carefully and always follow the instructions.

-Do not use this health band for any other purpose than intended.

-Make sure the device is in proper working condition before use.

-Do not wear the device when showering, bathing, swimming or scuba diving, as this may damage the device. The device is rain, splash and sweat resistant.

-If you travel by plane, contact your airline to determine if Personal Electronic Devices (PEDs) like the Philips health band can be used during the flight. The device uses Bluetooth Low Energy, which should be considered safe for most airlines. If you need to switch off Bluetooth communication, put the health band in 'sleep mode'. Bluetooth communication is now switched off. Disabling sleep mode will turn on Bluetooth again. This will cause a false entry in your sleep data.
