INTENDED USE
The 3160A-3 system is a system designed to measure the systolic and diastolic blood
pressure and pulse rate by using a non-invasive technique in which an in atable cu is
wrapped on the upper arm. It is intended for individuals age 18 and above for use at home
and in clinical settings. The device is not to be used for the diagnosis of hypertension or for
testing on newborns.
TEST PRINCIPLE
Blood pressure is measured non-invasively at the upper arm based on oscillometric
method. If you have been diagnosed with a severe arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, atrial
or ventricular premature beats or atrial brillation, measurements made with this
instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with the doctor or your healthcare

Irregular Heartbeat Detection Advanced
I
HB advanced is an oscillometric waveform technology which is more sensitive, but not
speci c, to identify varying rhythm symptom such as skipped heartbeats, abnormally
rapid (Tachycardia), or slow (Bradycardia) pulse and Atrial Fibrillation occurring during the
measurement, while regular IHB (Irregular Heart Beat) feature in the market is to detect a
condition where the heartbeat rhythm varies by more than certain percentage from the
average heartbeat detected during the measurement, If the symbol of IHB advanced
appears on the display that means that certain abnormality in heart beat frequency was
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may deviate from your normal
blood pressure – repeat the measurement. In most cases, this is no cause for concern.
However, if the symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with
measurements taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation :
