SUMMARY
Fully automatic digital blood pressure monitor
Description
This device is designed to non-invasively measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate in adults. Designed for easy and convenient use at home. The device is not suitable for use on newborns. Always consult your doctor before using the device to measure blood pressure on a child, pregnant woman or pre-eclampsia. The device is not intended for use during patient transport outside of a healthcare facility.
MEASUREMENT TECHNIQUE
This device measures blood pressure and heart rate using the oscillometric method. The cuff is connected to the main unit and wrapped around the upper arm. Sensors inside the cuff detect the small oscillations in pressure exerted against it as the arteries in the arm expand and contract with each heartbeat. The electronic system then measures the amplitude of each pressure wave, converts it into millimeters of mercury, and displays the value digitally on the large LCD display.
MEASUREMENT DURING INFLATION (INFLATING Technology).
INFLATING is the latest technology that guarantees direct measurement of blood pressure values only during cuff inflation, thus ensuring greater comfort thanks to the lower constriction force applied to the arm and its shorter application time. With this technology, the measurement procedure consists of three distinct phases. In the first phase, the device quickly inflates the cuff to a preset value ideal for securing the cuff to the limb and starting the second phase. The second phase begins when the device reduces the inflation speed of the cuff so as to allow accurate detection of the heartbeat. The third and final phase is the actual measurement of blood pressure values and begins when the heart symbol starts to flash on the screen and ends when the device automatically deflates the cuff and displays the measurement result on the screen.
WHO CLASSIFICATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE VALUES
The measured blood pressure values are classified as indicated in the table in the instruction manual (WHO guidelines). When systolic and diastolic pressures fall into different categories, the higher class applies. For specific information about your blood pressure, we recommend that you consult your doctor. You should not draw any personal conclusions based solely on the indications provided by this device.
BODY MOVEMENT SYMBOL
The blood pressure value measured while the body is moving or while speaking is not correct, as it is potentially influenced by these conditions. When the device detects body movement, it analyses the pulse wave and displays the corresponding symbol indicating that the measurement result may be incorrect (the symbol appears on the screen at the end of the measurement together with the values found). In this case, it is recommended to not consider the displayed data valid and repeat the measurement after about 10 minutes.
ARRHYTHMIA SYMBOL
Pulse rate may vary while talking or moving, or if cardiac arrhythmia occurs. When the difference between the shortest and longest interval between pulse waves exceeds 25%, the device displays the corresponding symbol, indicating arrhythmia.
MEMORY FUNCTION
The measured values are automatically saved in the memory channel, so that they can be reviewed at a later time. The device's memory can store up to 60 readings. When the maximum memory capacity is reached, the device automatically deletes the oldest reading in favor of recording the new one just taken. When the clock is running, the saved readings can be recalled together with the date and time of the measurement. *To save the date and time, it is necessary to activate the clock before starting the measurement. The device does not save results that have given rise to an error ([Err]).
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
It is recommended to always keep the device clean and check its cleanliness after each use. Make sure that the monitor is not dirty before use. To clean the main unit, simply wipe it with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use gasoline, thinner or other strong solvents for cleaning. The cuff can be cleaned by gently wiping its surface with a cloth soaked in detergent suitable for synthetic fabrics and then left to dry completely in the air. Always ensure that no fluids of any kind enter the air connector of the cuff and therefore the relative tube. If this happens, detach the tube and connector parts and dry them completely in the air. The cuff should not be rubbed vigorously or washed in the washing machine. During storage, do not place heavy, hot or sharp objects on top of the device and its accessories. Never bend the cuff with excessive force or wrap the tube of the cuff until it bends at an angle. To detach the cuff from the main unit, do not pull the cuff or the tube but grasp the air connector and pull it out gently. Do not try to stretch or twist the cuff, and do not put it in contact with sharp objects. Do not replace parts, disassemble or modify the device to avoid malfunction or danger to users. Stop using it immediately and contact the dealer or manufacturer if you find any visible damage on the device. If the device has been stored at a temperature below freezing point, keep it in a warm place for at least 1 hour before using it. If you intend to store the device for a long period of time, remove the batteries. Keep the batteries away from children. As a precaution against potential problems from poor maintenance, shock, incorrect use, it is recommended to check the blood pressure monitor every 2 years. This operation can only be performed by the manufacturer or by companies authorized by the manufacturer.
