Introduction
Instruction Manual 3
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the IDEAL LIFE BP-MANAGER™, or BPM 0001 and IDEAL LIFE POD™, or ILP
0001. This completely automatic system measures your blood pressure and pulse rate, captures
subjective information and manages everything automatically so that you can better mange your
blood pressure with your care provider. Your measurement reading is clearly displayed on a large
screen on the IDEAL LIFE BP-Manager™ after each measurement, and later stored for a more detailed
analysis in the form of tables for easy viewing and graphs for easy interpretation. Your new IDEAL LIFE
BP-Manager™ uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement, detecting your blood’s
movement through your brachial artery and converting the movements into a digital reading. An
oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use.
The IDEAL LIFE BPM 0001 BP-Manager™ is a non-invasive blood pressure monitor intended fro the
measurement of systolic (SBP) and diastolic (DBP) blood pressure and heart rate (HR or pulse rate)
using the oscillometric technique. The IDEAL LIFE BP-Manager™ is used as an aid to monitoring
blood pressure in adults (individuals aged 18 and older) in a non-clinical environment such as in the
home. Results are displayed on the IDEAL LIFE BP-Manager™ screen. The IDEAL LIFE BP-Manager™
should not be used on infants or children. Contraindications for Use: The end user of this device
should not have common arrhythmias, such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial
fibrillation.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly. For proper interpretation
of pressure measurements, make sure to consult a physician.
The IDEAL LIFE BP-Manager™ can be used alone to automatically measure
your blood pressure.
If you would like to transmit blood pressure information for display on a
personal computer, the optional IDEAL LIFE Pod™ can be purchased.
Instructions for Use for the IDEAL LIFE BP-Manager™ and for the
IDEAL LIFE Pod™ are included in this Instruction manual.
**Warning: This system is not recommended for use on infants and is not
intended for and should not be used to try to measure the blood pressure of
infants and children (anyone under the age of 18) as it may not be accurate
and/or relied upon.

Suggestions Before Taking A
Measurement
•Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Rest at least
15 minutes before taking a measurement.
•Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
•Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left arm.
•Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
•Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm on a table so that the cuff is at
the same level as your heart.
•Remain still and do not speak during the measurement.
•It is recommended that a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings be brought to your
physician on a regular basis, as a single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of
your true blood pressure.
•It is recommended that you take and record several readings over a period of time, measuring
your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.
•If you are taking multiple readings consecutively, you should wait 2-3 minutes between
measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the
blood pressure measurement. You may need to increase the wait time depending on your
individual physical characteristics.
CAUTION: Blood pressure recording can be affected by the position of the
subject, his/her physiologic condition, and other factors.

How To Apply The Arm Cuff
Your IDEAL LIFE BP-Manager™ applies the Oscillometric method to measure human systolic/diastolic
blood pressure and heart rate. All values are shown on the LCD monitor.
Applying the Pressure Cuff
STEP 1
Connect the Air Plug to the Air Jack at the side of
the monitor.
STEP 2
Assemble the cuff as shown in the figure. The
smooth cloth is on the inside of the cuff loop.
STEP 3
Hold your left arm in front of you with your palm facing up. Pull your arm through the cuff loop.
STEP 4
The edge of the cuff should be approximately
0.3 to 1.2 inches (2cm to 3cm) above your
elbow. Align the tubing over the main arteries on
the inside of your arm.
STEP 5
When the cuff is positioned correctly, pull the end of the cuff to tighten the cuff snugly around your
upper arm. You should be able to fit your index finger between the cuff and your arm.
STEP 6
Press the hook material firmly against the pile material. The top and bottom edges of the cuff should
be tightened evenly around your arm.

Measurement
Please sit or lie down for at least 5-10 minues before measuring. Perform measurement while sitting.
STEP 1
Place your elbow on a table or other object. Relax
your hand with he palm facing up.
STEP 2
Make sure the pressure cuff is at the same level
as your heart. This is extremely important for the
accuracy of the results. Higher or lower positions will give deviations from the true value.

STEP 1
Place your elbow on a table or other object. Relax
your hand with he palm facing up.
STEP 2
Make sure the pressure cuff is at the same level

From the default screen, press the " " button located in the center of the key pad to continue.
A graphic will appear to show the correct placement of the cuff
on the arm.
Your IDEAL LIFE BP-Manager™ will begin to inflate automatically.
Do not talk or move during the measurement.
The cuff will quickly inflate to the appropriate level and will
get tighter around your arm. If the cuff becomes too tight, press
any button to stop the unit from inflating and then re-wrap the cuff, leaving a little more room
between the cuff and your arm.
! You can stop the inflation/deflation at any time by pressing any button on
your IDEAL LIFE BP-Manager™ !
When the measurement is complete, the cuff will automatically deflate releasing the cuff’s air
pressure. Your IDEAL LIFE BP-Manager™ will then display your reading automatically, and begin to
communicate when you are using your IDEAL LIFE Pod™. Your IDEAL LIFE BP-Manager™ will notify you
on the bottom of the display as to the status of your connection. Connection times may vary
depending on many factors. Your reading will always be stored in your meter memory for local lookup.
After displaying your reading and automatically communicating the information, your meter will
automatically return to the default screen before going to sleep mode. Each time your IDEAL LIFE
BP-Manager™ communicates successfully to IDEA LIFE through your IDEAL LIFE Pod™ the time and
date are set to ensure reliable date and time stamping of all readings.
