Introduction
Congratulations on your purchase and welcome to Philips! To fully benet from the
support that Philips oers, register your product at www.philips.com/welcome.
The Philips health watch empowers you to live a healthier life by continuously tracking
activity, calorie burn, sleep habits, heart rate and other key metrics of your cardio
condition, and more. The watch can wirelessly connect to a smartphone. An always
ON screen and battery charge of up to 4 days allows you to wear the watch every day
and night. You can monitor your metrics and get personalized guidance with the Philips
HealthSuite health app.
ENGLISH
Intended use
The medical purpose is to measure and track the vital physiological parameter heart
rate and movement, and derive resting heart rate and energy expenditure of adults at
risk of getting a lifestyle related chronic disease or adult patients suering lifestyle related
chronic disease, specically cardiovascular disease and diabetes type 2. 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, heart rate recovery, resting
respiration rate and sleep patterns, and providing: automatic activity recognition
(cycling, running, walking), a heart rate zone indication, a VO2max estimate and
sedentary behavior alerting, for wellness purposes.

Operating principle
The Philips health watch is a wrist-worn device for 24/7 home use (indoor and outdoor).
The device uses a tri-axial accelerometer to measure motion and green Light-Emitting
Diodes (LEDs) and a photodiode to create a photoplethysmogram (PPG).
The accelerometer output and the PPG-signal are analyzed to determine heartbeat,
activity type, steps taken, and are used as input for estimation of energy expenditure
and other parameters.

Exercising while experiencing any of these symptoms might increase the risk of heart
problems.
- It is important to always listen to your body rst, instead of only relying upon
measurements that the watch provides.
- If you are taking medicines that lower your maximum heart rate (e.g. for high blood
pressure), consult your doctor. Ask your doctor what your target heart rate zone should be.
1415
- If you have a heart condition or you are in cardiac rehab, talk to a healthcare
professional about what exercises you can engage in 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.
- Do not share the device. The Philips health watch is designed for personal use only.
The watch measures several health parameters, which are updated over time and
are tailored to you. Switching the watch between dierent people would lead to
inaccurate measurements.
- Do not modify this equipment. This may result in hazardous situations.
Make sure the device is in proper working condition before use.
- Only use the charging cradle and detachable parts authorized by the manufacturer.
The use of unauthorized parts or accessories may cause injury or damage to the device.

Make sure to update your weight in the app on a regular basis. Failure to do so might
result in inaccurate energy expenditure (calorie burn) estimation.
- Sleep algorithms should not be used for diagnosis or treatment in case of sleep
problems. They have not been validated for people with sleeping disorders.
- Energy expenditure algorithms have not been validated for people with impaired
gait. These users should not use the total and active calories burned as shown on the
device as a reference for their actual calories burned.
Caution
- Do not use the device near strong electrical or magnetic elds,
for example magnets, radio transmitters, microwave ovens. This could cause
measurement errors.
ENGLISH
- Use this device under the right environmental conditions as indicated in this user
manual. If not, this could aect the performance and lifetime of the device and
measurement results.
- If you have any problems with this device, such as setting up, malfunction,

in direct contact with the skin, transmittance of light through the skin, and sucient
blood ow through the skin. There are conditions where accurate optical heart rate
measurement is not possible.

intensity activity per week. This can made up of segments of at least 10 minutes
duration. Additionally, it is important to note that even if you cannot achieve the
recommended amount of physical activity, being physically active to a lesser amount
(e.g. 90 minutes per week) is better than being inactive.
ENGLISH

- Wear appropriate clothing and protective gear
- Always perform proper warm-up and cool-down procedures
- Slowly progress your activity level; plan 2-3 months to gradually increase exercise
duration and intensity. If you are not very active, it is a good idea to start with
taking brisk walks on a regular basis.
- Avoid vigorous to near maximal activity if you are not very active or unaccustomed
to this.
Compliance with standards
- This device complies with all applicable standards and regulations regarding
exposure to electromagnetic elds.
- This is a Class IIa medical device. It meets the requirements of Medical Device
