HoMedics Blood Pressure Monitor

Before use

Before the blood pressure monitor is taken into use a number of basic steps

should be observed. Please read this manual thoroughly before the blood

pressure monitor is used for the first time and keep the manual for future use.

The blood pressure monitor is intended for home use only. Any measurement is

solely for information and can under no circumstances replace a visit to the

doctor. The blood pressure measurements should always be assessed by a

qualified person (a doctor, nurse or similar) who is familiar with the user’s

general medical condition. By regular use and by keeping a record of the

results, this person can be kept well informed about developments in the user’s

blood pressure. Measurements must never be interpreted by the user with the

aim of changing levels in the use of medicine as prescribed by a doctor, but the

doctor’s instructions must be followed AT ALL TIMES.

The blood pressure monitor is not suited for users who suffer from arrhythmia

(heart rhythm disturbances) and errors may occur in the measurement results if

the user has suffered a stroke, suffers from cardiovascular diseases, has a very

low blood pressure, or suffers from other symptoms such as circulatory

diseases (diabetes, kidney diseases, arterial sclerosis (deposits in the arteries),

or poor peripheral blood circulation (e.g. in hands and feet).

Electromagnetic disturbances: The device contains sensitive electronic

components. Keep it clear of strong electric or electromagnetic fields in the

immediate surroundings (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave ovens) as these

may temporarily reduce measurement accuracy.

Use the blood pressure monitor only for its original purpose.

The device is intended for measurement of blood pressure and pulse with adult

persons (over 18 years of age). Do not apply the monitor to infants nor to persons

who cannot express their permission. The device must not be operated by children.

The blood pressure monitor functions in accordance with the oscillometric

measurement principle. These blood pressure changes are measured in the

cuff on the basis of the wrist pulse and are converted into a numerical value of

the current blood pressure. Simultaneously, the number of pulse beats are

registered and calculated as number of pulse beats per minute.

There are two kinds of discernable blood pressures. Both are expressed in

mmHg (millimeters on the mercury column): The systolic and the diastolic.

HG7912_BPW-200-0NEU_IB.qxd:Lay ut 1 13/6/08 10:44 Page 2

The systolic (‘the high blood pressure’) states the pressure when the heart

chambers contract to send blood through your body, and the systolic (‘the low

blood pressure’) states the pressure when the heart is at ease and filling with

blood before the next muscle contraction. The connection between values

(mmHg) is expressed as e.g. 130 over 85 which means that the systolic

pressure is 130 and the diastolic pressure is 85.

Why is it important to keep an eye on your blood pressure?

Many of today’s most common diseases are connected to hypertension , also

referred to as ‘high blood pressure’. Hypertension is closely connected to

cardiovascular diseases, and for people in the danger zone the blood pressure

provides an important tool to keep an eye on the development.

Standard for blood pressure

The WHO blood pressure standard defines the areas for high and low blood

pressure. The standard is for guidance only as individual blood pressure levels

vary from person to person, across age groups, etc.

Blood pressure levels and ategories for adults

The standard is valid for nonmedicated persons over 18 years of age who do

not suffer from serious short term diseases or other diseases such as diabetes

or kidney diseases. If the reading falls inside two groups (e.g. the systolic

number within grade 2 and the diastolic number within grade 1), the highest

number is used for classification (and the example thus falls within grade 2).

HG7912_BPW-200-0NEU_IB.qxd:Lay ut 1 13/6/08 10:44 Page 3

Persons with diabetes or chronic kidney diseases are exceptions to the

classifications above as a blood pressure level of just 130/80 mmHg or higher is

generally regarded as hypertension.

The blood pressure monitor is equipped with a category indicator for

visualization of the presumed risk level of the user in accordance with the

standard above. Read more about this in the section ‘Risk category indicator’.

It is important to consult your doctor regularly. A doctor will be able to determine

the normal blood pressure area for each individual and to determine the exact

point at which each individual is considered part of a risk group.

It is recommended that you keep a record of your measurements in order to

keep track of developments in your blood pressure.

How to use the blood pressure monitor

This blood pressure monitor is equipped with ‘Smart Sense™’ technology. By

pressing a single button the cuff is automatically inflated to block the blood

pressure flow through the artery. Subsequently, the deflation process starts. The

‘Smart Sense™’ technology enables automatic inflation and deflation to be

adjusted exactly to fit each individual. Please be aware that any motion during

inflation or deflation will cause measurement errors. When the measurement is

complete the display will show the systolic pressure, the diastolic pressure, and

the heart rate.

Smart Sense™ is approved to provide clinically correct results. The device is

approved by and in accordance with the demands of MDD (Medical Device

Directive, European Norm EN-1060-3 &/or 1060-4) as well as the guidelines

from The British Hypertension Society (BHS) accreditation and the Food & Drug

Administration (FDA) AAMI/ANSI SP10.

Based on the measurements, the blood pressure monitor’s category indicator

will warn the user by means of a symbol if the user falls within a risk group.

Read more about this in the section ‘Risk category indicator’ and consult the

table on page 45.

The blood pressure monitor is also equipped with an identification function for

heart arrhythmia (heart rhythm disturbances) which will warn the user that his or

her heart has an unstable heartbeat. If the symbol

IHB

appears frequently (5

successive measurements or more) it is highly recommended that you consult a

doctor. Read more about this in the section ‘Establishing arrhythmia (heart

rhythm disturbances)’.

Fitting the uff

1. Remove tight fitting clothing from your left underarm and position the cuff on

the wrist with the palm facing upwards. The cuff must be positioned on the

arm approximately 1 cm above the hand.

2. Pull gently at the end of the cuff so that it tightens easily and smoothly

around the wrist. The cuff is secured by pulling the velcro fastener towards

the cuff.

3. The cuff should feel pleasant around the wrist, yet so tight that there is no

extra space between the cuff and the wrist. If for some reason like poor

blood circulation you cannot measure on left arm, place the cuff around

your right wrist.

4. Relax your entire body, and place your arm on the

table with the palm facing upwards and with the

cuff at the same level as your heart (which is

located slightly below your armpit). If the cuff is not

at the same level as your heart or if you cannot

keep your arm completely still throughout the

reading, use a soft object such as a folded towel to

support your arm.

5. Turn you palm upwards. Sit upright in a chair, and

take 5-6 deep breaths. Avoid leaning back while the

measurement is being taken.

Important

• The blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is consequently

changing constantly 24 hours a day.

• The measurement of blood pressure can be influenced by the user’s

position, condition, or other factors. To obtain the highest degree of accuracy

it is recommended that the measurement is taken 1 hour after workout,

bathing, finishing a meal, consuming alcoholic or caffeine beverages, or

after smoking.

• Before measurement it is recommended that you sit still and relax for 15

minutes. The user should not be physically tired or exhausted when the

measurement is taken.

• The user must not talk or move arm or hand during measurement.

• Read the section ‘Worth knowing about blood pressure easure ent’

for further information.

How to measure the blood pressure

1. Choose user 1 or 2 by pressing . When the user number has been

chosen, press START/STOP to confirm the user number.

2. When the cuff is appropriately fitted to the wrist, the measurement is started

by pressing START/STOP. Never activate the device unless the cuff is fitted to

the wrist. All symbols on the display will flash and the device performs self-

calibration for approximately 2 seconds.

3. When “0” flashes on the display, the device is ready for measurement and

will automatically inflate the cuff to start the measurement.

HG7912_BPW-200-0NEU_IB.qxd:Lay ut 1 13/6/08 10:44 Page 7

4. The cuff will then begin deflating as measurement continues.

NOTE that the cuff is automatically re-inflated if the device determines that

the body requires higher pressure to complete the measurement.

5. When the measurement is completed, the cuff automatically deflates and the

display will show the systolic pressure, the diastolic pressure, and the pulse.

The measurement is simultaneously stored in the monitor’s memory.

6. The device automatically switches off approximately 1 minute after use but

can also be switched off manually by pressing START/STOP.

7. If necessary, a measurement can be interrupted by pressing START/STOP

(recommended) or any other button on the device. The cuff will subsequently

deflate immediately.

Risk ategory indi ator

The device complies with the blood pressure standard which classifies blood

pressures into 6 grades. This innovative blood pressure classification shows

with a symbol on the display the presumed risk category for each

measurement. The symbols and the classifications are described below and

follows the numbers in the table on page 3.

Establishing arrhythmia (heart rhythm disturban es)

An unstable heart rhythm can lead to or indicate cardiovascular diseases. By

means of advanced technology, this blood pressure device can warn the user

that he or she has an irregular heart rhythm which in turn contributes to better

health monitoring.

If the symbol

IHB

appears during blood pressure measurement, it means that

an irregular heart rhythm has been established. This should only be regarded as

a warning. Note that it is important that the user is relaxed, sits still, and does

not speak during measurement. It is strongly recommended that you contact

your doctor if the irregular heart rhythm symbol appears several times in

succession (5 times or more).
