Important Hints and Warnings – Read carefully !
Contact your doctor for further questions on the subject of blood pressure and its
measurement. In cases of irregular heartbeat, measurements made with this instrument
should only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor. Self-measurement means
control, not diagnosis or treatment, but only a healthcare professional is qualified to
interpret blood pressure measurements. Unusual values must always be discussed with
your doctor. Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of any drugs prescribed
by your doctor. Familiarize yourself with the section titled "Important Information on Bl ood
Pressure and its Measurement". It contains important information on the dynamics of blood
pressure readings and will help you to obtain the best results.
Note: Arm circumference should be measured with a measuring tape in the middle of the
relaxed upper arm. Do not force cuff connection into the open wound.
This device can not be used together with HF-surgical equipment.
The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers, and the
device shall not be serviced or maintained while in use with the patient. This device is NOT
intended to replace regular medical checkups. In cases of irregular heartbeat (Arrhythmia),
measurements made with this instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with
your doctor. Blood pressure readings obtained by this device should be verified before
prescribing or making adjustments to any medications used to control hypertension. Under
no circumstances should YOU alter the dosages of any drugs prescribed by your doctor.
Use of this instrument on patients under dialysis therapy or on anticoagulant,
antiplatelets, or steroids could cause internal bleeding. The patient is an intended operator,

1. Important Information on Blood Pressure and its Measurement
1.1. How does high or low blood pressure arise?
Your level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of the brain and
adjusts to a variety of situations through feedback from the nervous system. To adjust blood
pressure, the strength and speed of the heart (Pulse), as well as the width of circulatory
blood vessels is altered.Blood vessel width is controlled by fine muscles in the blood vessel
walls. Your level of arterial blood pressure changes periodically during heart activity:
During the “blood ejection” (Systole) the value is highest (systolic blood pressure value). At
the end of the heart’s “rest period” (Diastole) pressure is lowest (diastolic blood pressure
value). Blood pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in order to prevent
particular diseases.
1.2. Which values are normal?
Diastolic / Systolic blood presure
Optimal blood presure (target value)
Norma / High blood pressure
Mild / Moderate / Severe hypertension
Blood pressure is very high if your diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg and/or your
systolic blood pressure is over 160 mmHg, while at rest. In this case, please consult your
physician immediately. Long-term values at this level endanger your health due to continual
damage to the blood vessels in your body. If your systolic blood pressure values are
between 140 mmHg and 159mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure values between 90
mmHg and 99mmHg, consult your physician. Regular self-checks are necessary. If you
have blood pressure values that are too low, (i.e., systolic values under 105mmHg and/or
diastolic values under 60 mmHg), consult your physician. Even with normal blood pressure
values, a regular self-check with your blood pressure monitor is recommended. You can
detect possible changes in your values early and react appropriately.
If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, keep a record of
values along with time of day and date. Show these values to your physician. Never use the
results of your measurements to independently alter the drug doses prescribed by your
physician.
Further information: If your values are mostly normal under resting conditions but
exceptionally high under conditions of physical or psychological stress, it is possible that
you are suffering from so-called “labile hypertension”. Consult your doctor! Correctly
measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120mmHg require immediate medical
treatment.
1.3. What can be done if regular high or low values are obtained?
a) Consult your doctor.
b) Increased blood pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are associated with
considerable health risks over time. Arterial blood vessels in your body are endangered due
to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls (Arteriosclerosis). A deficient supply
of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can result from arteriosclerosis.
Furthermore, the heart will become structurally damaged with increased blood pressure
values.
c) There are many different causes of high blood pressure. We differentiate between the
common primary (essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. The latter group
can be ascribed to specific organ malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for information
about the possible origins of your own increased blood pressure values.
d) There are measures which you can take to reduce and even prevent high blood
pressure.
2. Battery power checking
The battery is a built-in chargeable lithium ion battery. Press the “Power ON/OFF” button. If
the “Battery Indicator” becomes RED, the battery power is low and the battery need to be
recharged. The power supply should be DC 5/1A. Rechage the device with the charging
cable* (*included). When the “Battery Indicator” becomes GREEN, the battery is fully
recharged. Then the device can be used normally. If the battery is not fully recharged, the
indicator flashes in RED.
You may also operate this device by using the AC adapter** (**not included), output 5V
DC/1A with Micro USB plug. Use only the approved brand AC adapter to avoid damaging
the unit. First ensure that the AC adapter and cable are not damaged. Then plug the
adapter cable into the AC adapter port on the right side of the blood pressure monitor. After
that plug the adapter into your electrical outlet. When the AC adapter is connected, no
battery current is consumed. (e.g. by accidental removal of the AC adapter from the outlet,
the monitor must be reset by removing the plug from the socket and reinserting the AC
adapter connection).
Assessment indicator: The indicator is set around the Start/Stop button. After
measurement, the indicator will turn into different colors according to the assessment.
BLUE means normal, YELLOW means mild high blood pressure and RED means high
blood pressure.

4. Using your Monitor for the First Time System Settings
After the battery is fully charged, some functions can be set before use this monitor:
4.1. Start / Stop
Press the Start/Stop button one time. The indicator for the battery and Bluetooth flashs and
lights blue; the Bluetooth is waiting for connection. Press the button for approx. 2 seconds,
you can start the messurement directlly, or connect device with smart phone, it can be
remote controlled by APP (My Fitness) which is installed beforehand in the smart phone.
There will be a voice “Bluetooth is connected” if the device connects with smart phone by
Bluetooth successfully.
4.2. Setting the volume
Press and hold the Vol+/Vol– button, you will hear the voice guide of Volume up / Volume
down to set your favorite voice volume.
4.3. Assessment memory record
Press Vol+/Vol– button once will seek for the next/previous assessment record. Press and
hold the Vol+ and Vol– simultaneously will clear all the assessment records.
5. Measurement Procedure
Note: You should always be seated and calm before and during measurement.
5.1. Before measurement
Avoid eating and smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before measurement.
These factors influence the measurement result. Find time to relax by sitting in an armchair
in a quiet atmosphere for about ten minutes before taking a measurement. Remove any
garment that fits closely to your upper arm. Always measure on the same arm (normally
left). Always comp are measurements t aken at the same time of day, since blood pressure
changes during the course of the day, as much as 20-40 mmHg.
5.2. Common sources of errors
Note: Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions!
Conditions should always be quiet. All efforts by the user to support the arm can
increase blood pressure. Make sure you are in a comfortable, relaxed position and do not
flex any of the muscles in the measurement arm during the measurement. Use a cushion
for support if necessary. If the arm artery lies considerably lower or higher than the heart,
an erroneously high or low blood pressure will be measured! Each 25–30cm difference in
height between your heart and the cuff results in a measurement error of 10 mmHg. Cuffs
that are too narrow or too short result in false measurement values. Selecting the correct
cuff is extremely important. Cuff size is dependent upon the circumference of the arm
(measured in the center). The permissible range is printed on the cuff. Cuff works under
the pressure range 0-300 mmHg. The wide range rigid cuff is 22–36cm. A loose cuff or
a sideways protruding air pocket causes false measurement values. With repeated
measurements, blood accumulates in the arm, which can lead to false results. Consecutive
blood pressure measurements should be repeated after a 1 minute pause or after your arm
has been held up in order to allow the accumulated blood to flow away.
5.3. Fitting the Cuff
a) The cuff is pre-formed for easier use.
Remove tight or bulky clothing from your upper
arm.
To get the optimal position for the cuff, see also
description under c).
b) To secure the cuff, wrap it around your arm
and press the hook and loop closure together.
c) Wrap the cuff around your upper left arm.
The blue arrow (red mark) should be on the inside of your arm extending downward to your
hand. Make certain the cuff lies
approx. 1–2cm above the elbow.
Important! The red mark on the
edge of the cuff (Artery Mark) must
lie over the artery which runs down
the inner side of the arm.
d) There should be little free space between
your arm and the cuff. You should be able to fit
two fingers between your arm and the cuff. Cuffs
that don’t fit properly result in false
measurement values. Measure your arm
circumference if you are not sure of proper fit.
The arrow in the picture marks the artery.
Place the middle of the CUFF at the level of the
right atrium of the heart
e) Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same height as your heart.
f) Remain seated quietly for at least two minutes before you begin the measurement.
5.4. Measurement procedure
General recommendation: approx. 5 minutes should elapse before the first reading is
taken. The performance of the AUTOMATED SPHYGMOMANOMETER can be affected by
extremes of temperature, humidity and altitude.
a) Sit comfortably in a chair with your feet flat on the floor (no crossed legs) and your back
and arm are supported.
b) Stretch your arm forward on the desk and keep relaxing, make sure the palm of hand is
upturned. Make sure arm is in correct position, to avoid body movement. Sit still and do not
talk or move during the measurement. After the cuff has been appropriately positioned on
the arm and connected to the blood pressure monitor, the measurement can begin.
(See now chapter 6. Operate on the device via APP)
c) To stop the inflation or measurement: If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure
measurement for any reason (e.g the patient feels unwell), press the START/STOP button.
The monitor will stop inflating, start deflating, and will turn off. If the monitor is remote
operated by APP on smart phone, it also can be stop on APP.
d) Af ter the monitor has detected your blood pressure and pulse rate, the cuff automatically
deflates. Your blood pressure will be voiced out or shown on the APP on smart phone if
operated by APP.
e) The monitor will automatically turn off after two minutes not in operation.
See picture how to handle the device in the correct way:
Sit vertically and relax your body
Upper arm is not covered or pressed by
gusset
Cuff and the heart are at the same level
