INTENDED USE

The iHealth Neo Smart Blood Pressure Monitor (Electronic Sphygmomanometer) is intended for use in a professional setting or at home and is a non-invasive blood pressure measurement system. It is designed to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressures and pulse rate of an adult individual by using a technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the arm. The measurement range of the standard cuff circumference is 22cm-42cm (8.6" to 16.5").

BLOOD PRESSURE CLASSIFICATION FOR ADULTS

The World Health Organization (WHO) has created the following guide for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to age or gender). Please note that other factors (e.g. diabetes, obesity, smoking, etc.) also need to be considered. Consult with your physician for accurate assessment.

Classification of blood pressure for adults

Note: Consult your physician for proper interpretation of blood pressure results.

CONTRAINDICATION

It is not recommended for people with serious arrhythmia to use this Smart Blood Pressure Monitor.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES

Blood pressure can be affected by the position of the cuff and your physiologic condition. It is very important that the cuff should be placed at the same level as your heart.

Body posture

Sitting comfortably during measurement

1. Be seated with your feet flat on the floor without crossing your legs.
2. Place your hand, palm-side up, in front of you on a flat surface such as a desk or a table.
3. The middle of the cuff should be at the level of the right atrium of your heart.

Lying down during measurement

1. Lie on your back.
2. Place your arm straight along your side with your hand palm-side up.
3. The cuff should be placed at the same level as your heart.

Note: Blood pressure can be affected by the position of the cuff and your physiologic condition.

Apply the cuff

1. Pull the cuff end through the metal loop, positioning it outward (away from your body).
2. Place a bare arm through the cuff and position the cuff 1/2"(1-2cm) above the elbow joint.
3. Tighten the cuff by pulling it towards your body, securing it closed with the Velcro fastener.
4. While seated, place your hand, palm-side up, in front of you on a flat surface such as a desk or table. When the left arm (blue arrow points down to the hand) is measured, position the monitor in the middle of your arm so that it is aligned with your middle finger. When the right arm (red arrow points down to the hand) is measured, position the monitor in the middle of your arm so that it is aligned with your middle finger.
5. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your arm. You should be able to insert one finger between your arm and the cuff.

Remember to:

1. Make sure that the appropriate cuff size is used; refer to the cuff circumference range in the Specifications section of this manual.
2. Measure on the same arm each time.
3. Stay still during measurement. Do not move your arm, body or the monitor.
4. Stay still and calm for one to one and half minutes before taking a blood pressure measurement. Prolonged over-inflation of the bladder may cause ecchymoma of your arm.
5. Keep the cuff clean. Cleaning the cuff after every 200 times of usage is recommended. If the cuff becomes dirty, clean it with a moistened cloth. Do not rinse the monitor or cuff with running water.
