MEASURING BLOOD PRESSURE -A FEW BASICS

Blood Pressure Monitor that uses the oscillometric principle to measure your blood pressure and pulse rate. Blood pressure fluctuates continually day and night. Any physical activity or excitement will influence your blood pressure. Because of this, it is unusual to obtain identical multiple blood pressure readings. This is why it is recommended that you measure your blood pressure at approximately the same time every day.

1. Open the battery cover on the back of the device.
2. Insert 4 AAA batteries, paying attention to the direction.
3. Close the battery cover.
   ⚠️ When the display shows the battery symbol (🔋), replace all the batteries with new ones.
   ⚠️ Rechargeable batteries are not suitable for this monitor.
   The monitor, the batteries and the cuff must be disposed of according to local regulations at the end of their usage.

2. HOW TO PLACE THE CUFF ON YOUR ARM

The iHealth Track Blood Pressure Monitor comes in 2 cuff sizes. The standard cuff will fit arm circumferences between 8.6″ to 16.5″ (22cm to 42cm) and the XL cuff will fit arm circumferences from 16.5″ to 18.9″ (42cm to48cm).

1. Place the cuff tube downwards, around a bare arm about 1/2″ (1 – 2cm) above the elbow joint.
2. Sit with your feet flat on the floor without crossing your legs. While seated, place your palm side up in front of you on a flat surface such as a table. Lying Down During Measurement: (You can also lie on your back and place your left arm straight along your side with your hand palmside up.) Position the air tube in the middle of your arm in line with your middle finger.
3. Close the cuff with the Velcro fastener.
4. The cuff should fit comfortably around your arm.

You should be able to insert one finger between your arm and the cuff

Taking a Reading on the Right Arm

Apply the cuff so that the air tube is at the side of your elbow.
Notes: 

• Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube, or otherwise restrict the flow of air to the cuff.
• The cuff should be 1 to 2 cm above the elbow.

Note: If the cuff becomes dirty, remove it from the monitor and wipe it with a lightly moistened soft cloth. Then air-dry the cuff. Do not machine wash. Cleaning the cuff after every 200 measurements is recommended. 

3. CONNECTING THE CUFF TO THE DEVICE

Once you have determined the correct cuff size (Standard cuff: 8.6″ to 16.5″ (22cm to 42cm) or XL cuff: 16.5″ to 18.9″ (42cm to 48cm), simply insert the cuff connector into the air port on the side of the monitor. Ensure that the connector is completely inserted to avoid air leakage. Avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing during measurement , which may cause inflation error, or harmful injury due to continuous cuff pressure.

4. SETTING THE DATE AND TIME

Insert the batteries in the device and connect it with the iHealth MyVitals App on your smartphone. The time and date will automatically be updated. If you change the batteries, please re-adjust the time and date again.

2. The monitor will inflate the cuff and then slowly release pressure from the cuff as the blood pressure is measured. When the measurement is finished the blood pressure and pulse rate will be displayed on the display. The blood pressure will be displayed in different colors (green for normal, yellow for slightly elevated, and red for high) according to the recommendations of the WHO (World Health Organization). The result will automatically be stored in the memory bank of the monitor.
3. If an Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) is detected during a measurement, the IHB symbol will be displayed (blinking). If an IHB is detected, the results of the blood pressure measurement may be inaccurate. Please consult your physician for an accurate assessment.
