Introduction
Intended Use
The Diamond CUFF BP Blood Pressure Monitoring System is
intended to be used to measure the systolic and diastolic blood
pressure and pulse rate by using a non-invasive technique in
which an inflatable cuff is wrapped on the upper arm.
The device also works in unison with iFORA BP app that enables
transmission and sharing capabilities via Bluetooth.
Do not use this system on babies,young children or persons who
cannot express their consent.
Test Principle
Blood pressure is measured non-invasively at the arm based on
oscillometric method.
The reading obtained by single and average mode which use
oscillometic method is for reference only.

pair this device to a Bluetooth receiver for the first time,or when
user needs to pair this device to another new Bluetooth receiver.
Testing Your Blood Pressure
Before Measument
• Avoid caffeine,tea, alcohol and tobacco for at least 30 minutes
before measurement.
• Wait 30 minutes after exercising or bathing before
measurement.
• Sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes before measurement.
• Do not measure when feeling anxious or tense.
• Take a 5-10 minute break between measurements.This
break can be longer if necessary, depending on your physical
conditions.
• Keep the records for your doctor as reference.
• Blood pressure varies between each arm. Always measure your
blood pressure on the same arm.
Fitting the Cuff
1. Assemble the cuff.
The smooth surface should be inside the cuff loop and the
metal D-ring should not touch your skin.
Note:
• Before using the cuff, be sure the cuff size fits with your upper
arm circumference.
2. Stretch your left (right) arm in front of you with your palm
facing up.Slide and place the cuff onto your arm with the
artery mark region (in red) toward the lower arm.
Wrap and tighten the cuff above your elbow.The red line on
the edge of the cuff should be approximately 2 to 3 cm (0.8 to
1.2 inches) above your elbow.
0.8”~1.2”9.4"~16.9"
2~3cm25~35cm
3. Leave a little free space between the arm and the cuff.You
should be able to fit 2 fingers between them.
4. Press the hook material firmly against the pile material.The
top and bottom edges of the cuff should be tightened evenly
around your upper arm.
Proper Measurement Position
1. Sit down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.
2. Place your elbow on a flat surface.Relax your hand with the
palm facing up.
3. Make sure the cuff is about the same height as the location of
your heart.

EN-5
Important!
If the cuff is relatively lower (higher) than the heart, the
obtained blood pressure value could be higher (lower) than
the actual value.A 15 cm difference in height may result in an
error around 10 mmHg.
4. Press the Power button.
The device will turn on and the cuff will begin to inflate
automatically. Remain still and do not talk or move during the
measurement.
Measuring Blood Pressure
This device provides you different ways to measure your blood
pressure.
When the device detects an irregular heart beat, the IRB symbol
is shown as“ ”instead of“ ”. If the problem still persists,
please consult your doctor.
Important!
Always apply the pressure cuff before turning on the device.
A. Single Measurement
Perform an individual blood pressure measurement.
1. Press the Power button. All the LCD symbols will appear.Then
the cuff will begin to inflate automatically.
Note:
• When the device is connected to your mobile device (via
Bluetooth),you can also initiate the measurement by tapping
.
• The cuff will begin inflate automatically.
2. The heart symbol“ ”will flash when a pulse is detected
during the inflation.

EN-6
After the measurement,the monitor displays the systolic
pressure,diastolic pressure and pulse rate.
3. Press the Power button to turn the device off.
Note:
• If the device is left idle for 3 minutes,it will turn off automatically.
B. Average Measurement (via APP)
Automatically performs three (3) consecutive blood pressure
measurements and displays the average result in the end.
This function is only available when your Diamond CUFF BP is
connected to your mobile device.
1. Press the Bluetooth button.The“ “ icon will appear on the
display, indicating that the device is ready to transmit data.
Important!
Be sure the device is properly connected to your mobile
device via Bluetooth.

Reference Values
Blood Pressure
Human blood pressure naturally increases after reaching middle
age.This symptom is a result of continuous ageing of the blood
vessels.Further causes include diabetes,lack of exercise and
cholesterol (LDL) adhering to the blood vessels. Rising blood
pressure accelerates hardening of the arteries,and the body
becomes more susceptible to apoplexy and coronary infarction.
Definitions and Classification of blood pressure levels according to
2007 ESH-ESC Practice Guidelines for the Management of Arterial
Hypertension:
Category Systolic Diastolic
Optimal < 120 mmHg and < 80 mmHg
Normal 120 –129 mmHg and/or 80 –84 mmHg
High normal 130 –139 mmHg and/or 85 –89 mmHg
Grade 1 hypertension 140 –159 mmHg and/or 90 –99 mmHg
Grade 2 hypertension 160 –179 mmHg and/or 100 –109 mmHg
Grade 3 hypertension t180 mmHg and/or t110 mmHg
Isolated systolic
hypertension
t140 mmHg and < 90 mmHg
Isolated systolic hypertension should be graded (1,2, 3) according
to systolic blood pressure values in the ranges indicated,provided
that diastolic values are < 90 mmHg.
