General Description
Contraindications
Indications for Use
The Homewell Essentials Blood Pressure Monitor is digital monitors intended
for use in measuring blood pressure and heartbeat rate with arm circumference
ranging from 22cm to 42cm(about 8¾˝-16½˝). It is intended for adult indoor use
only.
1.The device should not be used by any person who may be suspected of,
or is pregnant .
2.The device is not suitable for use on patients with implanted,electrical
devices,such as cardiac pacemakers, defibrillators.
Thank you for selecting Homewell Essentials Blood Pressure Monitor
(HWEBPM). The monitor features blood pressure measurement, pulse
rate measurement and the result recording. The design provides you
with two years of reliable service.
Readings taken by the HWEBPM are equivalent to those obtained by
a trained observer using the cuff and stethoscope auscultation method.
This manual contains important safety and care information, and provides
step by step instructions for using the product.
Read the manual thoroughly before using the product.

INTRODUCTION
This product uses the Oscillometric Measuring Method to detect blood
pressure.Before every measurement, the unit establishes a “zero point”
equivalent to the atmospheric pressure. Then it starts inflating the cuff.
Meanwhile, the unit detects pressure oscillation generated by beat-to-beat
pulsatile, which is used to deter- mine the systolic pressure and diastolic
pressure as well as pulse rate.
Measurement Principle
The signs below might be in the user manual, labeling or other components.
They are the requirement of standard and using.

CAUTION
* This device is intended for adult use in homes only.
* The device is not suitable for use on neonatal patients, pregnant women, patients with
implanted, electronical devices, patients with pre-eclampsia, premature ventricular beats, atrial
fibrillation, peripheral, arterial disease and patients undergoing intravascular therapy or
arterio-venous shunt or people who received a mastectomy. Please consult your doctor prior
to using the unit if you suffer from illnesses.
* The device is not suitable for measuring the blood pressure of children. Ask your doctor
before using it on older children.
* The device is not intended for patient transport outside a healthcare facility.
* The device is not intended for public use.
* This device is intended for no-invasive measuring and monitoring of arterial blood pressure.
It is not intended for use on extremities other than the arm or for functions other than obtaining
a blood pressure measurement.
* Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. This unit allows you to monitor your blood
pressure.Do not begin or end medical treatment without asking a physician for treatment
advice.
* If you are taking medication,consult your physician to determine the most appropriate time to
measure your blood pressure. Never change a prescribed medication without consulting your
physician.
* Do not take any therapeutic measures on the basis of a self measurement. Never alter the
dose of a medicine prescribed by a doctor. Consult your doctor if you have any question about
your blood pressure.
* When the device is used to measure patients who have common arrhythmias such as atrial
or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation, the best result may occur with deviation.
Please consult your physician about the result.
* Don't kink the connection tube during use, otherwise, the cuff pressure may continuously
increase which can prevent blood flow and result in harmful injury to the PATIENT.
* When using this device, please pay attention to the following situation which may interrupt
blood flow and influence blood circulation of the patient, thus cause harmful injury to the
patient: connection tubing kinking too frequent and consecutive multiple measurements; the
application of the cuff and its pressurization on any arm where intravascular access or
therapy, or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt, is present; inflating the cuff on the side of a
mastectomy.
* Warning: Do not apply the cuff over a wound;otherwise it can cause further injury.
*Do not inflate the cuff on the same limb which other monitoring ME equipment is applied
around simultaneously, because this could cause temporary loss of function of those
simultaneously-used monitoring ME equipment.
*On the rare occasion of a fault causing the cuff to remain fully inflated during measurement,
open the cuff immediately. Prolonged high pressure (cuff pressure ＞300mmHg or constant
pressure ＞15mmHg for more than 3 minutes) applied to the arm may lead to an ecchymosis.
*Please check that operation of the device does not result in prolonged impairment of patient
blood circulation.
* When measurement, please avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing.
* The device cannot be used with HF surgical equipment at the same time.

Tie the Cuff
MEASUREMENT
1.
4.
Hold your arm with your palm facing up and tie
the cuff on your upper arm, then position the
tube off-center toward the inner side of arm in
line with the little finger. Or position the artery
mark over the main artery (on the inside of
your arm). Note: Locate the main artery by
pressing with 1 finger approximately 1/2 inch
above the bend of your elbow on the inside of
your left arm. Identify where the pulse can be
felt the strongest. This is your main artery.
The cuff should be snug but not too tight. You
should be able to insert one finger between
the cuff and your arm.
Remove all jewelry, such as watches and
bracelets from your left arm.
Note: If your doctor has diagnosed you with
poor circulation in your left arm, use your
right arm.
Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the
skin. Make sure your sleeve is not too tight.
2.
3.
5. Sit comfortably with your tested arm resting
on a flat surface. Place your elbow on a table
so that the cuff is at the same level as your
heart. Turn your palm upwards. Sit upright in
a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths.
Rest for 5 minutes before first measurement.
Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements.
This allows your blood circulation to recover.
The patient must relax as much as possible
and do not move and talk during the
measurement procedure.
For a meaningful comparison, try to measure
under similar conditions. For example, take daily
measurements at approximately the same time,
on the same arm, or as directed by a physician.
6.
Take the measurement in a silent room.
The cuff should maintain at the same level
as the right atrium of the heart.
Please sit comfortably. Do not cross your legs
and keep your feet flat on the ground.
Keep your back against the backrest of the
chair.
