3. Using Checkme
3.1 Prior to Use
Warnings
Use only cables, sensors and other accessories specified in this
manual.
The device has no alarms and will not sound if the measurement
reading is too low or too high.
Before using ECG
Before using Daily Check or ECG Recorder function, pay attention to the
following points in order to obtain precise measurements.
The ECG electrode must be positioned directly against the skin.
If your skin or hands are dry, moisten them using a damp cloth
before taking the measurement.
If the ECG electrodes are dirty, remove the dirt using a soft cloth or
cotton bud dampened with disinfectant alcohol.
During the measurement, do not touch your body with the hand
with which you are taking the measurement.
Please note that there must be no skin contact between your right
and left hand. Otherwise, the measurement cannot be taken
correctly.
Stay still during the measurement, do not speak and hold the device
still. Movements of any kind will affect the measurements.
If possible, take the measurement when sitting and not when
standing.
Warnings
When connecting external electrodes and/or patient cables, make
sure that the connectors never come into contact with other
conductive parts, or with earth. In particular, make sure that all of
the ECG electrodes are attached to the patient, to prevent them
from contacting conductive parts or earth.
If using the ECG for long-term monitoring, periodically inspect the
electrode application site to ensure skin quality. If the skin quality
changes, replace the electrodes or change the application site.
Do not use this device during defibrillation.
Interference from a non-grounded instrument near the patient and
9
electro surgery interference can causes problems with the
waveform.
Before using Oximeter
Before using Daily Check or Oximeter functions, pay attention to the
following points in order to obtain precise measurements.
The finger inserted in SpO2 sensor must be clean to ensure proper
reading.
Any of the following conditions may cause inaccurate
measurements, including but not limited to:
- Flickering or very bright light;
- Poor blood circulation;
- Low hemoglobin;
- Hypotension, severe vasoconstriction, severe anemia or
hypothermia;
- Nail polish, and/or artificial nails;
- Any tests recently performed on you that required an injection of
intravascular dyes.
The Oximeter may not work if you have poor circulation. Rub your
finger to increase circulation, or place the SpO2 sensor on another
finger.
The Oximeter measures oxygen saturation of functional hemoglobin.
High levels of dysfunctional hemoglobin (caused by sickle cell
anemia, carbon monoxide, etc.) could affect the accuracy of the
measurements.
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for
radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios,
amateur radio, AM and FM radio broadcast towers, and TV
broadcast towers may affect accuracy.
The pleth waveform displayed on the device is normalized.
Warnings
Limit finger movement as much as possible when using the Daily
Check or Oximeter, which might result in incorrect reading or
measurement result.
Do not use the Oximeter on the same hand/arm when using a blood
pressure cuff or monitor.
Do not use the Oximeter outside the specified operating and storage
temperature ranges.
The Checkme Pro is MR unsafe. Do not use this device in an MR
10
environment as it contains strongly ferromagnetic materials.
Induced current could potentially cause burns. The SpO2 sensor may
affect the MRI image, and the MRI unit may affect the accuracy of
the oximetry measurements.
Prolonged continuous SpO2 recording may increase the risk of
undesirable changes in skin characteristics, such as irritation,
reddening, blistering or burns.
Check the SpO2 sensor application site every 2 hours to determine
the positioning of the sensor and the circulation and skin sensitivity
of the patient. Patient sensitivity varies depending on medical status
or skin condition. For patients with poor peripheral blood circulation
or sensitive skin, inspect the sensor site more frequently.
3.2 Daily Check
About Daily Check
Warnings
Before using this function, please read the Section 4.1.
When using Daily Check, please ensure you select the right user.
Wrong user will result in incorrect blood pressure readings.
The external pulse oximeter feature is only intended for users
greater than 12 years of age (adults and adolescents).
To ensure better tracking of your health status, it is strongly
suggested that every Daily Check measurement is made at the same
time period when your body is in the relative same situation. E.g.,
every morning when get up, or every night before go to bed.
Daily Check measurement is a function that combines the measuring of
ECG (Electrocardiograph) waveform, HR (heart rate), Pleth waveform,
SpO2 (blood oxygenation). It takes only 20 seconds to collect your vital
signs before giving you vital signs readings and your health evaluation.
For each individual, the correlation among those parameters measured by
Daily Check is different, so when Daily Check function is used by more than
one user, you need to create the user profile for each user. Before using
Daily Check measurement or reviewing the Daily Check data, ensure that
the correct user is selected. Please refer to Section 5.8 to know how to
manage users.

(3)
(4)
To better manage your health status, it is recommended to take Daily
Check measurement at a regular interval, like once every day or once a
week. To ensure that you never forget to take a Daily Check measurement,
you can set a Daily Check reminder. When this Daily Check reminder event
is triggered, the device gives audio alarm prompt, which will last for one
minute if you don’t cancel it manually.
To set the Daily Check reminder event, please refer to Section 4.8.
Using Daily Check
To start a Daily Check, follow the steps as below.
1. If you have not created user, then please follow the instruction in
Section 5.8 to add your user account.
2. Press the Home button to enter the Main Screen.
3. Tap the <Daily Check> icon in the middle of the screen.
4. Choose the right user.
5. Hold the device according to the instruction, keep the device at the
same level as your heart, and keep stable posture and stay calm.
Don’t exert too much pressure on the ECG electrode, which may
result in EMG (electromyography) interference. Just hold gently and
ensure good contact with the ECG electrode. Do not exert pressure
on the finger that put in the SpO2 sensor. Just fit it inside but gently
to ensure good blood perfusion.
12
(1) Put the right index finger into the built-in SpO2 sensor. Use the
finger nail to squeeze the edge of the SpO2 sensor cover, then
move in upward to the left to raise it up as shown below.
(2) Press the right thumb on the right electrode.
(3) Press the right middle finger on the back electrode.
(4) Press the left electrode to the left palm.
6. Once the device detects stable waveform, it will automatically start
the measurement. The countdown bar moves from left to right.
7. When the bar is fully filled, the device will show the measurement
result.
Please refer to Section 2.4 to understand the result screen. Daily Check
provides the trending graph of heart rate, SpO2. To view the trend, tap the
button, then select one record, and then tap the button. For
details, please refer to Section 6.1.
