Introduction

Intended Use

The Diamond CUFF BP Blood Pressure Monitoring System is

intended to be used to measure the systolic and diastolic blood

pressure and pulse rate by using a non-invasive technique in

which an inﬂatable cuff is wrapped on the upper arm.

The device also works in unison with iFORA BP app that enables

transmission and sharing capabilities via Bluetooth.

Do not use this system on babies,young children or persons who

cannot express their consent.

Test Principle

Blood pressure is measured non-invasively at the arm based on

oscillometric method.

The reading obtained by single and average mode which use

oscillometic method is for reference only.

user needs to pair this device to another new Bluetooth receiver.

Testing Your Blood Pressure

Before Measument

• Avoid caffeine,tea, alcohol and tobacco for at least 30 minutes

before measurement.

• Wait 30 minutes after exercising or bathing before

measurement.

• Sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes before measurement.

• Do not measure when feeling anxious or tense.

• Take a 5-10 minute break between measurements.This

break can be longer if necessary, depending on your physical

conditions.

• Keep the records for your doctor as reference.

• Blood pressure varies between each arm. Always measure your

blood pressure on the same arm.

Fitting the Cuff

1. Assemble the cuff.

The smooth surface should be inside the cuff loop and the

metal D-ring should not touch your skin.

Note:

• Before using the cuff, be sure the cuff size ﬁts with your upper

arm circumference.

2. Stretch your left (right) arm in front of you with your palm

facing up.Slide and place the cuff onto your arm with the

artery mark region (in red) toward the lower arm.

Wrap and tighten the cuff above your elbow.The red line on

the edge of the cuff should be approximately 2 to 3 cm (0.8 to

1.2 inches) above your elbow.

0.8”~1.2”9.4"~16.9"

2~3cm25~35cm

3. Leave a little free space between the arm and the cuff.You

should be able to ﬁt 2 ﬁngers between them.

4. Press the hook material ﬁrmly against the pile material.The

top and bottom edges of the cuff should be tightened evenly

around your upper arm.

Proper Measurement Position

1. Sit down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.

2. Place your elbow on a ﬂat surface.Relax your hand with the

palm facing up.

3. Make sure the cuff is about the same height as the location of

your heart.

EN-5

Important!

If the cuff is relatively lower (higher) than the heart, the

obtained blood pressure value could be higher (lower) than

the actual value.A 15 cm difference in height may result in an

error around 10 mmHg.

4. Press the Power button.

The device will turn on and the cuff will begin to inﬂate

automatically. Remain still and do not talk or move during the

measurement.

Measuring Blood Pressure

This device provides you different ways to measure your blood

pressure.

When the device detects an irregular heart beat, the IRB symbol

is shown as“ ”instead of“ ”. If the problem still persists,

please consult your doctor.

Important!

Always apply the pressure cuff before turning on the device.

A. Single Measurement

Perform an individual blood pressure measurement.

1. Press the Power button. All the LCD symbols will appear.Then

the cuff will begin to inﬂate automatically.

Note:

• When the device is connected to your mobile device (via

Bluetooth),you can also initiate the measurement by tapping

• The cuff will begin inﬂate automatically.

2. The heart symbol“ ”will ﬂash when a pulse is detected

during the inﬂation.

EN-6

After the measurement,the monitor displays the systolic

pressure,diastolic pressure and pulse rate.

3. Press the Power button to turn the device off.

Note:

• If the device is left idle for 3 minutes,it will turn off automatically.

B. Average Measurement (via APP)

Automatically performs three (3) consecutive blood pressure

measurements and displays the average result in the end.

This function is only available when your Diamond CUFF BP is

connected to your mobile device.

1. Press the Bluetooth button.The“ “ icon will appear on the

display, indicating that the device is ready to transmit data.

Important!

Be sure the device is properly connected to your mobile

device via Bluetooth.

measurement begins.The device will take three (3)

measurements consecutively with an interval of 20 seconds.

Note:

EN-7

When the difference between the ﬁrst and second systolic

pressure is more than 15mmHg, the time interval for third

measurement will be 40 seconds.

5. After taken three measurements,the test result is displayed

on the screen. Press the Power button to turn the device off.

Reference Values

Blood Pressure

Human blood pressure naturally increases after reaching middle

age.This symptom is a result of continuous ageing of the blood

vessels.Further causes include diabetes,lack of exercise and

cholesterol (LDL) adhering to the blood vessels. Rising blood

pressure accelerates hardening of the arteries,and the body

becomes more susceptible to apoplexy and coronary infarction.

Deﬁnitions and Classiﬁcation of blood pressure levels according to

2007 ESH-ESC Practice Guidelines for the Management of Arterial

Hypertension:

Category Systolic Diastolic

Optimal < 120 mmHg and < 80 mmHg

Normal 120 –129 mmHg and/or 80 –84 mmHg

High normal 130 –139 mmHg and/or 85 –89 mmHg

Grade 1 hypertension 140 –159 mmHg and/or 90 –99 mmHg

Grade 2 hypertension 160 –179 mmHg and/or 100 –109 mmHg

Grade 3 hypertension t180 mmHg and/or t110 mmHg

Isolated systolic

hypertension

t140 mmHg and < 90 mmHg

Isolated systolic hypertension should be graded (1,2, 3) according

to systolic blood pressure values in the ranges indicated,provided

that diastolic values are < 90 mmHg.
