INTENDED USE
The iHealth Wireless Blood Pressure 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 upper arm. The measurement range of the standard cuff circumference is 8-21/32” to
14-3/16”(22cm-36cm).
Note: Consult your physician for proper interpretation of blood pressure results.
CONTRAINDICATION
It is not recommended for people with serious arrhythmia to use this Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
Blood pressure can be affected by the position of the cuff and your physiologic condition. It is very important that the cuff
should be placed at the same level as your heart.
Body Posture
Sitting Comfortably During Measurement
a. Sit with your feet flat on the floor without crossing your legs. Stay still during measurement. Do not move your arm, body, or
the monitor.
b. Place your hand palm-side up in front of you on a flat surface such as a desk or a table
c. The center of the cuff should be at your heart level.
Lying Down During Measurement
a. Lie on your back.
b. Place your left arm straight along your side with your hand palm-side up.
c. The cuff should be level with your heart.
Note: Blood pressure can be affected by the position of the cuff and your physiologic condition, so it is important that you
always measure your blood pressure in the same position.
Apply the Cuff
a. Pull the cuff end through the metal loop, positioning it
outward (away from your body).
b. Place a bare left arm through the cuff with the red arrow
facing up and position the cuff 1/2"(1-2cm)above the elbow joint.
c. Tighten the cuff by pulling it towards your body, securing it closed with the
Velcro fastener.
d. While seated, place your hand, palm-side up, in front of you on a flat
surface such as a desk or table. Position the monitor in the middle of your
arm so that it is aligned with your middle finger.
e. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your left arm. You
should be able to insert one finger between your arm and the cuff.
Remember to:
1. Make sure that the appropriate cuff size is used; refer to the cuff circumference range in the Specifications section of this
manual.
2. Stay still during measurement. Do not move your arm, body or the monitor.
3. Stay still and calm for one to one and half minutes before taking a blood pressure measurement. Prolonged over-inflation of
the bladder may cause bruises of your arm.
4. Keep the cuff clean. Cleaning the cuff after every 200 measurements is recommended. If the cuff becomes dirty, remove it
from the monitor and clean it with a moistened cloth. Do not rinse the monitor or cuff with running water.
Press the “ ” button at any time to interrupt a measurement.
Note: Physical activity, eating, drinking, smoking, excitement, stress, and many other factors influence blood pressure results.

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:
a)The application of the cuff over a wound or inflamed area.
b)The application of the cuff on any limb with intravascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (A-V) shunt.
c)The application of the cuff on the arm on the side of a mastectomy.
d)Simultaneous use with other medical monitoring equipment on the same limb.
e)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.
5. If you are using a smart phone to operate the device and a phone call comes in during the measurement, the measurement
process will be terminated automatically. It is thus recommended that the phone be set in Airplane mode during measurement
to avoid interrupting the measurement.
6. If an Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) is detected during the measurement procedure, the IHB symbol will be displayed. Under this
condition, the Wireless Blood Pressure 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 sets of circumstances:
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.
7. Please do not use any cuff other than that supplied by the manufacturer as this may result in inaccurate measurements.
8. For information regarding potential electromagnetic or other interference between the Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor and
other devices together with advice regarding avoidance of such interference, please see ELECTROMAGNETIC
COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION. It is suggested that the Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor should be operated at least 10
metres away from electric or wireless devices (e.g. routers, microwave oven, etc.)
9. If the blood pressure measurement (systolic or diastolic) is outside the rated range specified in part SPECIFICATIONS, the
app 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.
