INTRODUCTION INTRODUCTION

General Description

Thank you for selecting TRANSTEK arm type blood pressure monitor
(TMB-1872-B). The monitor features blood pressure measurement, pulse
rate measurement and the result storage. The design provides you with
two years of reliable service.

Readings taken by the TMB-1872-B are equivalent to those obtained by a
trained observer using the cuff and stethoscope auscultation method.

This manual contains important safety and care information, and
provides step by step instructions for using the product.

Read the manual thoroughly before using the product.

Features:
60*74mm Digital LCD display
Maximum 60 records per each user
Measuring during inflation technology

Indications for Use

The Transtek Blood Pressure Monitor is a digital monitor intended for use in
measuring blood pressure and heartbeat rate with arm circumference ranging

from 22cm to 32cm(about 8¾˝-12½˝) or 22cm to 42cm(about 8¾˝-16½˝).

It is intended for adult indoor use only.

Contraindications

1.The device should not be used by any person who may be suspected of,or is pregnant .

2.The device is not suitable for use on patients with implanted,electrical devices,
such as cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators.

Measurement Principle

This product uses the Oscillometric Measuring method to detect blood pressure.
Before every measurement, the unit establishes a “zero pressure” equivalent to the
atmopheric pressure. Then it starts inflating the arm cuff, meanwhile, the unit detects
pressure oscillations generated by beat-to-beat pulsatile, which is used to determine
the systolic and diastolic pressure, and also pulse rate.

INTRODUCTIONINTRODUCTION

CAUTION

* This device is intended for adult use in homes only.
* The device is not suitable for use on neonatal patients, pregnant women,patients with
implanted, electronical devices, patients with pre-eclampsia, premature ventricular beats,
atrial fibrillation, peripheral, arterial disease and patients undergoing intravascular therapy or
arterio-venous shunt or people who received a mastectomy. Please consult your doctor prior
to using the unit if you suffer from illnesses.
* The device is not suitable for measuring the blood pressure of children. Ask your doctor
before using it on older children.
* The device is not intended for patient transport outside a healthcare facility.
* The device is not intended for public use.
* This device is intended for no-invasive measuring and monitoring of arterial blood
pressure.It is not intended for use on extremities other than the arm or for functions other
than obtaining a blood pressure measurement.
* Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. This unit allows you to monitor your
blood pressure.Do not begin or end medical treatment without asking a physician for
treatment advice.
* If you are taking medication,consult your physician to determine the most appropriate time
to measure your blood pressure. Never change a prescribed medication without consulting
your physician.
* Do not take any therapeutic measures on the basis of a self measurement. Never alter the
dose of a medicine prescribed by a doctor. Consult your doctor if you have any question
about your blood pressure.
* When the device is used to measure patients who have common arrhythmias such as
atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation, the best result may occur with
deviation. Please consult your physician about the result.
* Don't kink the connection tube during use, otherwise, the cuff pressure may continuously
increase which can prevent blood flow and result in harmful injury to the PATIENT.
* When using this device, please pay attention to the following situation which may interrupt
blood flow and influence blood circulation of the patient, thus cause harmful injury to the
patient: connection tubing kinking too frequent and consecutive multiple measurements; the
application of the cuff and its pressurization on any arm where intravascular access or

therapy, or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt, is present; inflating the cuff on the side of a

mastectomy.
* Warning: Do not apply the cuff over a wound;otherwise it can cause further injury.
*Do not inflate the cuff on the same limb which other monitoring ME equipment is applied
around simultaneously, because this could cause temporary loss of function of those
simultaneously-used monitoring ME equipment.
*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 ＞ 300mmHg or constant
pressure ＞ 15mmHg for more than 3 minutes) applied to the arm may lead to an
ecchymosis.
*Please check that operation of the device does not result in prolonged impairment of
patient blood circulation.

CAUTION

* When measurement, please avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing.
* The device cannot be used with HF surgical equipment at the same time.
* The ACCOMPANYING DOCUMENT shall disclose that the SPHYGMOMANOMETER
was clinically investigated according to the requirements of ISO 81060-2:2013.
* To verify the calibration of the AUTOMATED SPHYGMOMANOMETER, please contact
the manufacturer.
* This device is contraindicated for any female who may be suspected of, or is pregnant.
Besides providing inaccurate readings, the effects of this device on the fetus are unknown.
* Too frequent and consecutive measurements could cause disturbances in blood
circulation and injuries.
* This unit is not suitable for continuous monitoring during medical emergencies or
operations.Otherwise, the patient’s arm and fingers will become anaesthetic, swollen and
even purple due to a lack of blood.
* When not in use, store the device with the adapter in a dry room and protect it against
extreme moisture, heat, lint, dust and direct sunlight. Never place any heavy objects on the
