Intended use
Philips health band measures, tracks, and analyzes
movement and physiological parameters. These
metrics are intended as input for behavioral
change programs for managing lifestyle of
individuals with risk of or affected by weight and
activity related chronic disease.
Investigation of these parameters is used in the
assessment of the physiological state of a person
and their daily physical activity level. For people at
risk of these lifestyle related chronic diseases or
patients with a pre-existing condition, the
continuous monitoring of these parameters can
give insight in changes of heart rate and daily
physical activity.
The non-medical purpose is measurement of:
steps, resting respiration rate and sleep patterns,
and providing: automatic activity recognition
(cycling, running, walking), a heart rate zone
indication and sedentary behavior alerting, for
wellness purposes.
The device is intended for 24/7 use in daily life,
both indoor and outdoor, by adults of 18 years and
older.
The Philips health band is intended to be used by
one adult consumer only.
Operating principle
The Philips health band is a wrist-worn activity
(accelerometer) and heart rate measurement
device that uses the Opticardiogram technology.
The general operating principle of this
Opticardiogram technology is based on LEDs
emitting light through the surface of the skin. Part
of that light is reflected and collected by the photo
sensor.
The blood flow in the arteries is driven by the heart
beating and pumping blood. The blood flow
changes over time. Therefore, the amount of light
reflected varies over time. The sensor in the health
band collects this change in reflection of light.

- It is important to always listen to your body first,
instead of only relying on measurements of the
health band. Too intense exercising may cause
health problems like feeling dizzy or faint,
nausea, temporary chest pain or exhaustion.
- Consult your doctor before you start exercising
in the following situations:
-If you have heart disease, kidney disease
and/or diabetes mellitus type 1 or 2.
-If you are taking medicines for high blood
pressure and/or that influence your
(maximum) heart rate. (In case of doubt,
please check with your doctor).
-If you have a heart condition or if you are in
cardiac rehab.
Ask your doctor about which exercises you can
do and what your target heart rate should be.
Exercising with a too high heart rate could
cause health problems like temporary chest
pain, heart overload or exhaustion.
- Always consult your doctor first before you start
or continue exercising if you experience any of
the following signs or symptoms:
-If you feel dizzy or nauseated or feel that
you are about to faint.
-If you feel unusually tired or exhausted
during normal activities.
-If you feel pain in your chest, neck, jaw or
arms.
-If you feel your heart beats too hard or too
fast.
-If you are short of breath during rest or mild
exertion, when lying flat or during the night.
-If you have a known heart murmur.
-If you have swollen ankles.
Exercising with any of these symptoms might
increase the risk of heart problems.
- Avoid vigorous to near-maximal activity if you
are not very active or not accustomed to this.
Too intense exercising may increase the risk of
injuries (e.g. falls, sprains) and may cause health
problems like fainting, nausea, temporary chest
pain or exhaustion.
- During pregnancy:
-Always follow your doctor's advice on
weight management, exercise type,
frequency, duration, intensity and rest
intervals.
-The heart rate zone indicator is not
applicable.
-Make sure that you update your weight in
the app on a regular basis. Failure to do so
might result in inaccurate energy

-Wear appropriate clothing and protective
gear
-Always perform proper warm-up and cool-
down procedures
-Slowly progress your activity level; plan 2-3
months to gradually increase exercise
duration and intensity. If you are not very
active, it is a good idea to start with taking
brisk walks on a regular basis.
-Avoid vigorous to near maximal activity if
you are not very active or unaccustomed to
this.
Reactions and side effects
You may experience adverse reactions. This is due
to wearing the device in contact with your skin for
long periods at a time. These reactions may
include:
- Skin reactions due to pressure of the device on
the skin or the device rubbing against the skin.

Fully charged batteries can last for approximately
three days. When the battery is almost empty and
requires charging, the battery icon is shown on the
display. When the battery is empty, the display
turns off and no further data will be stored.
Wearing the health band
Always wear the Philips health band on the
outside of your wrist (Fig. 4, Fig. 5), in direct
contact with your skin (Fig. 6). Make sure that the
health band is not on your wrist bone (Fig. 7). The
health band is designed to be worn day and night.
Note: You can wear the health band on your left or
right wrist. In the app you can also set which hand
is your dominant hand. Make sure the wearing side
in the settings menu of the HealthSuite health app
is the same as the wearing side on your wrist. If
you wear the health band on your other wrist, also
change the wearing side in the app to ensure
correct health metrics.
Avoiding skin reactions
To reduce the risk of skin reactions follow these
instructions.
- Clean the device and skin underneath the
device regularly and after each sports session.
Take the health band off once in a while to give
your skin some rest.
- Always dry the device when it has become wet.
- Do not wear the strap too tight, to ensure it is
still comfortable to wear.
Wearing the health band comfortably
- Wearing clothes over your health band could
cause the health band to slide across the skin
slightly. This might feel uncomfortable.
- At any point during the day or after exercising
your wrist may be swollen, this is a natural
effect.
- If you feel any discomfort due to the straps,
give your skin some rest by not wearing the
health band for a short period of time or by
wearing the health band on your other wrist.
When you refasten the health band, try
loosening the strap a notch.
Wearing the health band correctly
Wearing the health band correctly will positively
influence the accuracy of the measurements.
Accurate measurements rely on three key factors:
- The sensor should be in direct contact with the
skin. Make sure that the health band is
positioned correctly and not worn too loose
(ensure a snug but comfortable fit). Make sure
the health band and your wrist are clean and
do not have moisture and dirt on them. When
skin contact is lost due to a lot of hand/wrist
movement, you can try re-positioning the
health band at bit higher up on the arm or on
the other arm.
- The health band should be able to transmit
light through the skin. For example, tattoos in
the wrist area might cause inaccurate
measurements, because less light is transmitted
through the skin. Try re-positioning the health
band to a place where you do not have tattoos,
e.g. higher up on your wrist or wear it on your
other wrist.
- There should be sufficient blood flow through
the skin for an accurate measurement.
-Do not wear the health band too tight, as
this may reduce the blood flow. Try
loosening the strap a notch to relieve some
pressure, but make sure the health band still
has a snug fit.
-Blood flow in the skin can also be reduced
when you exercise outdoors and it is (too)
cold. Wear warm clothes and gloves during
outdoor exercise in cold weather.
-Warm-up exercises may cause temporary
inaccurate measurements as more blood
flow may be directed to the muscles. Ignore
inaccurate measurements during the first
minutes of your warm-up exercise. It takes
some time before the blood flow in your skin
adjusts to the exercise conditions.
Note: It is very important that you provide the
correct profile data in the app to enable accurate
health metrics. When you experience problems
with your measurements, check if your problem is
already mentioned in the troubleshooting chapter
or call 1-844-531-6861 for assistance.

resting heart rate and your maximum heart rate
and can help you identify the intensity of your
exercise. Your heart rate zone is shown in your
heart rate display with a heart icon and four dots.
-Heart rate zone 1 - Light:
This zone mostly covers regular daily activities
such as leisurely strolls, moving around or
performing easy tasks within your house or
workplace.
-Heart rate zone 2 - Moderate:
Activities that get your heart rate to zone 2
include brisk walking, hiking and leisurely biking.
During such moderate-intensity activities, your
breathing is often deep and you usually start to
sweat after ten minutes.
-Heart rate zone 3 - High:
Training in this zone helps you get fitter. It may
also help you control your weight.
-Heart rate zone 4 - Anaerobic:
You will only be in this highest zone for brief
periods of time, as anaerobic exercise consists
of bursts of high-intensity activity such as
sprinting, interval training and heavy weight-
lifting.
Heart rate measurement
Heart rate is measured using our Opticardiogram
technology. This is a clinically validated sensing
technology, proven to be accurate for most people
under normal conditions.
Read section 'Wearing the health band' for more
information on how to get accurate measurements.
Note: When you experience problems with your

exercise for at least 10 consecutive minutes, in
heart rate zone 2 or higher.
Note: The health band automatically detects
walking, running and cycling.
Sleep mode
Single tap on the active minutes screen to go the
sleep mode screen. The health band is designed to
also be worn at night to collect sleep-related
information. This information includes automatic
sleep tracking, including time slept and sleep
stages (shown only in the app), and how long it
takes you to fall asleep, your total sleeping time or
your sleep efficiency.
You can start the sleep mode manually just before
you switch off the lights to go to sleep. You can
stop the sleep mode when you get up in the
morning. To start sleep mode, double tap on the
display in this screen. The health band will
automatically estimate the moment when you
actually fall asleep. To stop sleep mode when you
get up in the morning, double tap on the display in
this screen.
- If you wake up in the middle of the night and
get out of bed, you do not have to turn off
sleep mode. The health band will automatically
account for this period when you are awake in
the calculation of your sleep parameters.
When the alarm is set and goes off, the sleep
mode is switched off. Data about your sleep will
appear in the app within a few hours after you
have woken up.
Note: Activation of sleep mode deactivates
Bluetooth and inactivity reminders (see 'Inactivity
reminder').
Notifications on the device
Inactivity reminder
Long periods of inactivity, for example sitting or
standing in one posture without moving, can have
a negative effect on your health.The inactivity
reminder prompts you to move with a short
vibrating alert. You can change the period of
inactivity after which the health band vibrates in
the Philips HealthSuite health app. The default
setting is 30 minutes.
Motivational celebrations
When you have set goals in the app, your health
band lets you know if you have reached 100% of
your goal.
Silent alarm
You can set a silent alarm in the app. When the
alarm goes off, the health band will vibrate and
show the alarm icon (see 'Display icons'). Stop the
alarm by double tapping on the display of the

again.
Note: When you set an alarm in the app, make sure
you sync with the health band. After syncing, the
health band will show an alarm icon on the
display. The silent alarm is now set.
Additional heart rate measurements
The Philips health band measures resting heart
rate and heart rate recovery. These measurements
are not shown on the health band, but are
available in the app. Below you can find more
information.
Resting heart rate (RHR)
Resting heart rate is the rate at which your heart
beats when you are at rest. Resting heart rate
values can differ from person to person. However,
changes in resting heart rate can be an indication
of changes in your fitness level. Active people
often have a lower resting heart rate because their
heart muscle is in better condition. You need to
wear the health band for at least 24 hours before a
resting heart rate measurement can be shown.
Heart rate recovery (HRR)
Heart rate recovery is the difference in heart rate at
peak exercise and the heart rate as measured after
a one minute recovery period. The health band
measures HRR when you are exercising with your
heart rate being at least 80% of your maximum
heart rate for a minimum of ten minutes. The
measurement starts when the health band
registers change from a high-intensity activity to a
low-intensity activity. To obtain an estimate of
HRR, sit down immediately after stopping your
activity and then rest for at least 2 minutes to let
your heart rate recover. To make HRR estimates
more comparable over time, try to estimate HRR in
similar settings with respect to: time of day, type of
activity and activity duration.
Important: Do not try to estimate your HRR if you
are not very active or unaccustomed to a high
intensity activity.
Factory reset
Select factory reset to reset your health band to
