IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS

READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS BEFORE USING

When using electrical products, basic safety precautions should always be followed, including the following:

Warnings

-Please keep the unit out of reach of infants, children or pets, since inhalation or swallowing of small parts can be dangerous or even fatal.

-The device is not suitable for measuring the blood pressure of children.

-No modifications of this equipment are allowed. This may result in increased emissions or decreased immunity of the device.

-This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and monitoring of arterial blood pressure. It is not intended for use on extremities other than the wrist or for functions other than obtaining a blood pressure measurement.

-Do not use the blood pressure monitor during charging as it can cause injury.

-Do not dispose of built-in batteries in fire. Battery may explode or leak.

-Do not use while bathing and within 20 minutes after taking a bath.

-The device is not suitable for persons who have electrical implants.

-Do not reach for a corded device that has fallen into water. Unplug immediately.

-A device should never be left unattended when plugged in.

-The batteries used in this device may present a fire or chemical burn hazard if mistreated. Do not disassemble, heat above 100°C (212°F) or incinerate.

-Do not use an extension cord with this device.

-Do not use this blood pressure monitor on any arm where intravascular access or therapy (such as an intravenous drip or a blood transfusion), or an arterio-venous shunt (A-V shunt) is present. The temporary interference to blood flow by the blood pressure measurement could result in injury.

-If you had a mastectomy (breast amputation) do not use this blood pressure monitor on the arm on the side of the mastectomy. The inflating cuff can lead to pain, trauma and further injury in the arm on the side of the mastectomy.

-Consult your physician if you suffer from illnesses prior to using the device.

-If you experience discomfort during a measurement, such as pain in the arm or other complaints, press the 'on' button to release the air immediately from the cuff. Loosen the cuff and remove it from your wrist.

-On the rare occasion of a fault causing the cuff to remain fully inflated during measurement, open the cuff immediately. Prolonged high pressure (cuff pressure >300 mmHg or constant pressure >15 mmHg for more than 3 minutes) applied to the arm, may lead to bruises (ecchymosis).

-Too frequent and consecutive measurements could cause disturbances in blood circulation and injuries.

-Beware of strangulation with the USB cord, particularly for children and infants due to cables.

-This device is not intended for use outside a home environment.

-Never use any accessories or parts from other manufacturers or that Philips does not specifically recommend. Using such accessories or parts could cause a hazardous situation for the user or damage to the device.

Caution

-Only use this device for its intended purpose as described in this user manual.

-Always check the device and cuff before you use it. Do not use the device or cuff if one of them is damaged, as this may cause injury.

-The effectiveness of this blood pressure monitor has not been established in pregnant (including pre-eclamptic) women.

-Common arrhythmias (such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation) and peripheral artery disease / arteriosclerosis can affect the performance (accuracy) of this blood pressure monitor. Please consult your physician how to best use this blood pressure monitor if you suffer from any of these conditions.

-Do not confuse self-monitoring with selfdiagnosis. This device allows you to monitor your blood pressure. Do not begin or end medical treatment based on the measurement results. Always consult your physician for treatment advice.

-Do not take any therapeutic measures on the basis of a self-measurement. Never change prescribed medication without consulting your physician. Consult your physician if you have any questions about your blood pressure.

-If you are taking medication, consult your physician to determine the most appropriate time to measure your blood pressure.

-This device is not intended for use on extremities other than the wrist or for functions other than obtaining a blood pressure measurement.

-If the cuff pressure exceeds 300mmHg, the unit will deflate automatically. If the cuff does not deflate when pressures exceeds 300mmHg, detach the cuff from the wrist and press the 'on' button to stop inflation.

-Do not attach the cuff on the same arm on which other monitoring medical electrical equipment is attached simultaneously, because this could cause temporary loss of function of those simultaneously-used monitoring medical electrical equipment.

-Never attach the cuff on injured skin, an injured arm or an arm under medical treatment as this can cause further injury.

-Do not use the device in case of existing polyester or nylon material allergies.

-This device is not suitable for continuous monitoring during medical emergencies or operations.

-This device cannot be used with HF (High Frequency) surgical equipment at the same time.

-Only use the micro USB cable supplied to charge the device.

-Avoid charging your blood pressure monitor in extremely high or low temperatures (see 'Specifications').

-After charging, remove the micro USB plug from the device and remove the USB plug from USB portal.

-Do not attempt to replace your blood pressure monitors battery. It is built-in and not changeable.

-Keep the device away from fire and heat sources, as the battery can overheat, causing fire or bursting. The battery could explode, causing injury or death.

-The equipment is not AP/APG equipment and is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air, with oxygen or nitrous oxide.

-To avoid measurement errors, do not use the device near strong electromagnetic fields, radiated interference signal or electrical fast transient/burst signal. For example magnets, radio transmitters, microwave ovens.

-Use this device under the right environmental conditions as indicated in this user manual. If not, this could affect the performance, lifetime of the device and measurement results.

-This device is not washable. Never immerse the device in water and do not rinse it under the tap.

-Do not clean the blood pressure monitor when it is being charged. Always unplug the charger first before cleaning the blood pressure monitor.

-If you have any problems with this device, such as setting up, malfunction, maintaining or using, visit www.philips.com/support or call 1-844-531-6861 for assistance.

-Do not open, disassemble or repair the device yourself.

-Dispose of accessories, detachable parts, and the ME equipment according to the local guidelines.

Using the blood pressure monitor

This tubeless device uses the oscillometric method to measure blood pressure and heart rate.

Before every measurement, the unit establishes a “zero point” equivalent to the atmospheric pressure. Then it starts inflating the cuff. During the measurement, the device detects the pressure
