Using the blood pressure monitor
This tubeless device uses the oscillometric method
to measure blood pressure and heart rate.
Before every measurement, the unit establishes a
“zero point” equivalent to the atmospheric
pressure. Then it starts inflating the cuff. During the
measurement, the device detects the pressure
oscillations in the blood vessels generated by the
heart pumping blood through the body. These
pressure oscillations are used to determine systolic
and diastolic blood pressure as well as heart rate.
While measuring heart rate, the device also
determines the small variations between the
individual heartbeats. If these variations exceed a
pre-defined threshold, the irregular heart rate
detector symbol lights up.
Systolic and diastolic pressure
The heart consists of two large chambers - the
ventricles - and two smaller chambers - the atria.
The ventricles collect blood from the atria and
expel it towards the peripheral beds of blood
vessels within the body and the lungs. The atria
collect blood from these peripheral beds and
prime the ventricles.
When the ventricles contract and pump blood out
of the heart, the blood pressure reaches its
maximum value in the cycle, which is called
systolic pressure (Fig. 3).
When the ventricles relax and are filled again with
blood, the blood pressure reaches its minimum
value in the cycle, which is called diastolic pressure
(Fig. 4).
Blood pressure classification
Consult a physician in case of questions about
your blood pressure. Your physician can inform
you:
- About your normal blood pressure range.
- If your measuring result falls out of the range.
- Whether your blood pressure has reached a
dangerous level.
The following table shows the classification system
for the blood pressure measurements used in this

Irregular heart rate detector
The device is equipped with an irregular heart rate
detector. An irregular heart rate is detected when
the heart rhythm varies above a pre-defined level
while the device is measuring the systolic and
diastolic blood pressure. During each
measurement, this device records the heartbeat
intervals and calculates the standard deviation. If
the standard deviation exceeds a pre-defined
threshold, the irregular heart rate detector symbol
lights up when the measurement results are
displayed (Fig. 5).
Caution:The appearance of the irregular heart rate
detector symbol indicates that a heart rate
irregularity was detected during measurement.
Usually this is not a cause for concern. Due to the
irregularity in your heart rate the blood pressure
measurement might not be accurate, i.e. it might
not reflect the 'real' situation in your body.
However, if the symbol appears often, we
recommend that you seek medical advice. Please
note that the device does not replace a cardiac
examination.

Measuring blood pressure
Tips for proper measurement
- Rest for 5 minutes before you measure your
blood pressure.
- Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements.
This allows your blood circulation to recover.
- For a meaningful comparison, try to measure
under similar conditions. For example, take
daily measurements at approximately the same
time, on the same arm, or as directed by your
physician.
- For a good Bluetooth connection between the
blood pressure monitor and your mobile
device, make sure the two are close and there
are no obstacles between the two devices. We
recommend not to have the two devices farther
than 16 feet (5 meters) apart.
We advise you not to take a measurement under
the following circumstances, as this measurement
may not be representative:
- Within 1 hour after eating or drinking
- Immediately after smoking
- While bathing and within 20 minutes after
taking a bath
- While you are talking or moving your arm, hand
or fingers
- In a very cold environment
- When you need to urinate
Attaching the cuff
1 Remove all jewelry, such as watches and
bracelets from your left arm.
Note: If your physician has diagnosed you with
poor circulation in your left arm, use your right
arm.
2 Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the
skin. Make sure your sleeve is not too tight.
3 Hold your arm with your palm facing up and
slide the cuff onto your left upper arm (Fig. 10).
4 Position the lower edge of the cuff ¾" - 1¼" (2-3
cm) above the crease of the elbow.
5 Fasten the cuff around your arm, leaving no
extra room between the cuff and your skin. If
the cuff is too loose, the measurement will not
be accurate.
-The cuff will not cause any potential
sensitization or irritation of the skin. The
materials of the cuff have been tested and
found to comply with requirements of ISO
10993-5:2009, ISO 10993-1:2009 and ISO
10993-10:2010.
6 Position yourself in the correct way for proper
measurement:
-Make sure you do not wear tight clothing
during measurement.
-Sit comfortably with legs uncrossed, feet flat
on the floor. Make sure that you sit upright
with your back straight.
-The center of the cuff should be at the same
level as the heart.
-Relax your wrist and hand. Do not bend your
wrist back, clench your fist, or bend your
wrist forward.
Start measurement
1 Press the user ID button (Fig. 11) or 'on' button
(Fig. 12) once, to switch on the device. The
device automatically selects the previous user.
-To change the user profile, press the user
ID button (Fig. 11) and select a different user
(Fig. 13). Make sure the correct user is
selected, so the measurement data is
properly transmitted and stored. It is not
possible to switch a user profile after a
measurement.
-When the health app is open, the app
automatically selects the correct user profile.
In this case, the user profile can be changed
by either closing the app and reopening it
again with the correct user profile, or by
closing the app and using the user ID button.
-Also a guest user can be selected. A guest
user is a user without a user profile in the
app. The guest user is for performing a
measurement on other people without a
user profile in the health app. Measurements
performed when using the guest user are
not stored in the memory nor transmitted to
the app.
2 Attach the cuff to your arm (see 'Attaching the
cuff') and make sure your posture is correct (see
'Tips for proper measurement').
3 Press the 'on' button to start the measurement
(Fig. 12). All display characters are briefly shown
on the display (Fig. 14). The device is ready for
measurement and the number 0 appears (Fig.
15). Inflation of the cuff starts automatically.
-During inflation, the unit determines the
systolic pressure and diastolic pressure as
well as heart rate. This is shown by the
heart rate detection symbol.
-The movement detector will light up when
movement is detected. This may result in
inaccurate measurement results.
4 When the measurement is finalized, the cuff
deflates and the measurement results are
shown on the display (Fig. 16). To transmit the
measurement results to the app, see section
'Transmit and store personal health data in the
app'.
Note: If you experience discomfort during a
measurement, such as pain in the arm or other
complaints, press the 'on' button to release the
air immediately from the cuff. Loosen the cuff
and remove it from your arm.
5 Press the 'on' button to switch off the device.
Note: after 1 minute, the device will turn off
automatically
If, after finishing the first measurement, another
measurement is required, press the user ID button
to select the correct user profile and follow steps
2-7.
Note: Wait at least 3 minutes between
measurements. This allows your blood circulation
to recover.
The device can store results of 60 blood pressure
measurements for both user 1 and 2.
Transmit and store personal health data
in the app
Note: Your personal measurement data is only
stored and displayed in the Philips HealthSuite
health app.

1-844-531-6861 for assistance.
Troubleshooting
Problem Possible cause Solution
My blood

fluctuates
throughout
the day.
Your
measurement
position, the
conditions
under which
you measure or
the time of
measurement,
are different
during each
measurement.
For a meaningful
comparison, try to
measure under
similar conditions.
For example, take
measurements
daily at
approximately the
same time, on the
same arm, or as
directed by a
physician.
Fluctuations of
blood pressure
during the day
are normal.
Blood pressure
fluctuates from
minute to minute
and normally
shows a circadian
rhythm over a
24-hour period,
with highest
readings in the
afternoons and
lowest readings at
night. That is why,
for comparable
measurements,
the
measurements
should be taken
at approx. the
same time of day.
You are using
medication.
The variations in
blood pressure
can be greater if
you are using
medication.
You performed
multiple
measurements
directly after
each other.
Wait at least 3
minutes between
measurements.
This allows your
blood circulation
to recover.
My blood
pressure
measure
ment from
the hospital
is different
from the
measure
ment at
home.
Multiple
variables may
affect your
blood pressure
such as the
weather,
emotions and
exercise.
Pay attention
when you
measure your
blood pressure at
home. Check for
instance:
If the cuff is
attached properly.
If the cuff is too
tight or too loose.
If the cuff is
attached on the
upper arm.
If you feel anxious
or stressed, try to
relax. Take a deep
breath 2-3 times
before you start a
measurement.
Advice: Rest for 5
minutes before
you measure your
blood pressure.
The result is
different
when I
perform
measure
ments on
my right
arm.
The blood
pressure
monitor is
suitable to be
used on both
arms, but the
measurement
results on the
right arm and
left arm will
differ.
For a meaningful
comparison, try to
measure under
similar conditions
and measure on
the same arm
every time.

Electromagnetic environment - guidance
Portable and mobile RF communications
equipment should be used no closer to any part of
the device, including cables, than the
recommended separation distance calculated from
the equation applicable to the frequency of the
transmitter.
Recommended separation distance:
d = 1.167 ÖP
d = 1.167 ÖP 80 MHz to 800MHz
d = 2.333 ÖP 800 MHz to 2.5 GHz
where P is the maximum output power rating of
the transmitter in watts (W) according to the
transmitter manufacturer and d is the
recommended separation distance in metres (m).
Field strengths from fixed RF transmitters, as
determined by an electromagnetic site survey (a),
should be less than the compliance level in each
frequency range (b).
Interference may occur in the vicinity of equipment
marked with the following symbol:
NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher
frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all
situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected
by absorption and reflection from structures,
objects and people.
(a) Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as
base stations for radio (cellular/cordless)
telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio,
AM and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast
cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To
assess the electromagnetic environment due to
fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site
survey should be considered. If the measured field
strength in the location in which the device is used
exceeds the applicable RF compliance level
above, the device should be observed to verify
normal operation. If abnormal performance is
observed, additional measures may be necessary,
such as re-orienting or relocating the device.
(b) Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz,
field strengths should be less than 3V/m.
Table 6 Recommended separation
distances between portable and mobile
RF communications equipment and the
ME equipment or ME system – for ME
equipment and ME systems that are not
life supporting
Recommended separation distances between
portable and mobile RF communications
equipment and the device.
The device is intended for use in an
electromagnetic environment in which radiated RF
disturbances are controlled. The customer or the
user of the device can help prevent
electromagnetic interference by maintaining a
minimum distance between portable and mobile
RF communications equipment (transmitters) and
the device as recommended below, according to
the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power
not listed above, the recommended separation
distance d in metres (m) can be estimated using
the equation applicable to the frequency of the
transmitter, where P is the maximum output power
rating of the transmitter in watts (W) according to
the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1 At 80MHz and 800MHz, the separation
distance for the higher frequency range applies.
