INTENDED USE

The iHealth View Smart Blood Pressure Wrist Monitor (Electronic Sphygmomanometer) is intended for use in a professional setting or at home and is a non-invasive blood pressure measurement system. It is designed to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressures and pulse rate of an adult individual by using a technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the wrist. The measurement range of the standard cuff circumference is 5.3" to 8.7"(13.5cm-22cm).

Note: Consult your physician for proper interpretation of blood pressure results.

CONTRAINDICATION

It is not recommended for people with serious arrhythmia to use this Smart Blood Pressure Wrist Monitor.

GENERAL SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS

1. Read all of the information in the User Guide and other provided instructions before operating the unit.
2. Consult your physician for any of the following situations:
   1. The application of the cuff over a wound or inflamed area.
   2. The application of the cuff on any limb with intravascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (A-V) shunt.
   3. The application of the cuff on the arm on the side of a mastectomy.
   4. Simultaneous use with other medical monitoring equipment on the same limb.
   5. The blood circulation of the user needs to be checked.
3. Do not use this product in a moving vehicle as this may result in inaccurate measurements.
4. Blood pressure measurements determined by this product are equivalent to those obtained by professional healthcare practitioners using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method within the limits prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometer. This device is also clinically validated according to the 2010 Protocol of the European Society of Hypertension (ESH 2010).
5. If an Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) is detected during the measurement procedure, the IHB symbol will be displayed in the "iHealth MyVitals" APP. Under this condition, the Smart Blood Pressure Wrist Monitor can keep functioning, but the results may be inaccurate. Please consult your physician for accurate assessment. The IHB symbol will be displayed under 2 conditions:
   1. The coefficient of variation (CV) of pulse period >25%.
   2. The difference of adjacent pulse period is ≥0.14s and more than 53 percent of the total number of pulses readings falls within this definition.
6. Please do not use any cuff other than that supplied by the manufacturer as this may result in inaccurate measurements.
7. For information regarding potential electromagnetic or other interference between the blood pressure monitor and other devices together with advice regarding avoidance of such interference, please see ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION. It is suggested that the blood pressure monitor should be operated at least 10 meters away from electric or wireless devices (e.g. routers, microwave oven, etc.)
8. If the blood pressure measurement (systolic or diastolic) is outside the rated range specified in part SPECIFICATIONS, the monitor will immediately display a technical alarm on the screen. In this case, repeat the measurement ensuring that the proper measurement procedures are followed and/or consult with your medical professional. The technical alarm is preset in the factory and cannot be adjusted or inactivated. This technical alarm is assigned as low priority according to IEC 60601-1-8. The technical alarm does not need to be reset.
9. This device requires a medical AC adapter with an output of DC 5.0V that complies with IEC 60601-1/UL 60601-1 and IEC 60601-1-2/EN 60601-1-2 such as ASP5-05010002JU (input: 100-240V, 50/60Hz, 200mA; output: DC 5V, 1.0A). Please note that the monitor jack size is USB mini B. The USB jack should be used for charging only.

This Monitor is designed for adults and should never be used on infants, young children, pregnant or pre-eclamptic patients. Consult your physician before use on children.
This product might not meet its performance specifications if stored or used outside the specified temperature and humidity ranges.
Please do not share the cuff with any infectious person to avoid cross-infection.

Charge Battery before First Use

Connect the monitor to a USB port using the charging cable provided until the charging indicator light green and indicator steady.

BODY POSTURE DURING MEASUREMENT

Blood pressure can be affected by the position of the cuff and your physiologic condition. It is very important that the cuff is positioned at your heart level during blood pressure measurements.

1. Sit comfortably with your feet flat on the floor without crossing your legs. Stay still during measurement. Do not move your wrist, body, or the monitor.
2. Place your hand palm-side up in front of you and leave 1-2cm between the monitor and the bottom of your palm. If the monitor is correctly placed, iHealth logo will be facing upright.
   
3. The center of the cuff should be at your heart level.
   
4. It is advised to place the monitor's travel case under your arm for support and to keep your arm at optimal height for measurement.

TAKING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE READING

1. Apply the cuff or press the START/STOP button, the monitor will activate and begin to detect your wrist position.
2. Adjust the height of your wrist, the monitor will detect your wrist position and the measurement will start ONLY when the correct position is detected. When the position is correct, press "START/STOP" button again to start measurement.
   
3. Then the cuff will be slowly inflated. The blood pressure and pulse will be measured during inflation. Inflation will stop as soon as the blood pressure and pulse rate have been calculated and displayed on the screen. The result will be automatically stored in the memory, and all results will be uploaded to the App automatically upon the next successful Bluetooth connection.
