General Description
Thank you for selecting iChoice Wireless blood pressure monitor.The
monitor features blood pressure measurement, pulse rate measurement and the
result storage. The design provides you with two years of reliable service.
Readings taken by the monitor 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.
Features:
125mm x 47mm Blue LCD display with white backlight
Up to 60 pieces of record stored for each user
Measuring during inflation technology
Indications for Use
1. The iChoice Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor is digital monitors intended
for use in measuring blood pressure and heartbeat rate with arm
circumference ranging from 22 cm to 32 cm ( about 8¾˝-12½˝ ) .
2. The monitor detects the appearance of irregular heartbeats during
measurement and gives a warning signal with readings.
3. It is intended for adult use in the home/domestic setting only.
Contraindications
1. The device is contraindicated for any person who is connected to a
wearable or implantable electronic device or instrument such as a
pacemaker or defibrillator.
2. The device is not intended to be a diagnostic device. Contract your
physician if hypertensive values are indicated.
Measurement Principle
This product uses the Oscillometric Measuring method to detect blood pressure.
Before every measurement, the unit establishes a “zero pressure” equivalent to
the air pressure. Then it starts inflating the arm cuff, meanwhile, the unit detects
pressure oscillations generated by beat-to-beat pulsatile, which is used to determine
the systolic and diastolic pressure, and also pulse rate. The device also compares
the longest and the shortest time intervals of detected pulse waves to mean time
interval then calculates standard deviation. The device will display a warning signal
with the reading to indicate the detection of irregular heartbeat when the difference
of the time intervals over.
Safety Information
The signs below might be in the user manual, labeling or other component.
They are the requirement of standard and using.

INFORMATION FOR USER
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
16
17
&
&
CAUTION
The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent with
an irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Usually this is NOT a
cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend you
seek medical advice. Please note that the device does not replace a cardiac
examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
Maintenance
What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
To obtain the best performance, please follow instructions below.
When ventricles contract and pump blood out
of the heart, the blood pressure reaches its
maximum value in the cycle, which is called
systolic pressure. When the ventricles relax,
the blood pressure reaches its minimum
value in the cycle, which is called diastolic
pressure.
What is the standard blood pressure classification?
The chart on the right
illustrates the blood
pressure classification
mode by American Heart
Association (AHA).
The AHA recommends
the following guidelines
for upper limit of normal
blood pressure readings
at home.
AHA Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal
BP
Systolic Blood Pressure
135 mm Hg
Diastolic Blood Pressure
85 mm Hg
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the unit is
measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. During each measurement,
this equipment records the heartbeat intervals and works out the standard deviation.
If the calculated value is larger than or equal to 15,the irregular heartbeat symbol
appears on the symbol when the measurement results are displayed.

Why does my blood
pressure fluctuate
throughout the day?
1.
Individual blood pressure varies
multiple times everyday. It is also affected
by the way you tie your cuff and your
measurement position, so please take the
measurement under the same conditions.
2.
If the person takes medicine, the
pressure will vary more.
3.
Wait at least 3 minutes for another
measurement.
Why do I get a different

before arranging for servicing.
blood pressure at home attention to when you measure
compared to the hospital? your blood pressure at home:
The blood pressure is different even
throughout the day due to weather,
emotion, exercise etc, Also, there is the
“white coat” effect, which means blood
pressure usually increases in clinical
settings.
Is the result the same if
measuring on the right
arm?
If the cuff is tied properly.
If the cuff is too tight or too loose.
If the cuff is tied on the upper arm.
If you feel anxious.
Taking 2-3 deep breaths before
beginning will be better for measuring.
Advice: Relax yourself for 4-5
minutes until you calm down.
It is ok for both arms, but there
will be some different results for
different people. We suggest you
measure the same arm every time.

Table 6 Recommended separation distances between portable and mobile
RF communications equipment and the ME EQUIPMENT or ME SYSTEM –
for ME EQUIPMENT and ME SYSTEMS that are not LIFE-SUPPORTING
Recommended separation distances
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment and the device.
The device is intended for use in an electromagnetic environment in which
radiated RF disturbances are controlled. The customer or the user of the device
can help prevent electromagnetic interference by maintaining a minimum distance
between portable and mobile RF communications equipment (transmitters) and the
device as recommended below, according to the maximum output power of the
communications equipment.

For transmitters rated at a maximum output power not listed above, the recommended
separation distance d in metres (m) can be estimated using the equation applicable to
the frequency of the transmitter, where P is the maximum output power rating of the
transmitter in watts (W) according to the transmitter manufacturer.
NOTE 1 At 80MHz and 800MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency
range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation
is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

NOTE 1 At 80 MHz and 800 MHz, the higher frequency range applies.
NOTE 2 These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic
propagation

and people.
a
Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular /
cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM and FM radio broad-
cast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the
electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site
survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the
device is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the device should be
observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed,
additional
measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the device.
b
Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3V/m.
