Introduction

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.
