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. Relax for 5 minutes before taking your blood pressure.
2. Sit comfortably at a table when measuring your blood pressure.
3. The cuff should be placed at the same level as your heart.
4. Do not talk or move during a measurement.
5. Use the same arm every time.
6. Remove the batteries from the device if it is not used for a month or more to avoid battery leakage.
7. This blood pressure monitor is designed for adults and should not be used on children.
8. It is not recommended for people with serious arrhythmia to use this device.
9. Do not use any other cuff than the one supplied by iHealth.
10. Relax

HOW TO PLACE THE CUFF ON YOUR ARM

The iHeath Track Blood Pressure Monitor has a universal size cuff. This means that it will fit any arm with a circumference between 22 and 42cm. If your arm is too large to fit in this cuff, you might consider using a wrist blood pressure monitor.

1. Place the cuff tube downwards, around a bare arm about 2cm above the elbow joint.
   
2. Sit with your feet at on the floor without crossing your legs. While seated, place your palm upside 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 palm-side up.) Position the air tube in the middle of your arm in line with your middle finger.

4. The cuff should fit comfortably around your arm. You should be able to insert one finger between your arm and the cuff.

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.

CONNECTING THE CUFF TO THE DEVICE

Once you have determined that the cuff fits your arm (22 – 42cm), simply insert the cuff connector into the socket 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 in ation error, or harmful injury due to continuous cuff pressure.
