INTRODUCTION
Thank you for selecting the iHealth Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor. The iHealth Wireless Blood
Pressure Monitor is a fully automatic arm cuff blood pressure monitor that uses the oscillometric
principle to measure your blood pressure and pulse rate. The monitor works with your mobile
device to test, track and share vital blood pressure data.

PACKAGE CONTENTS
INTENDED USE
The iHealth Wireless 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 upper arm. The
measurement range of the cuff circumference is 8.6” to18.9”(22cm-48cm).

It is not recommended for people with serious arrhythmia to use this Wireless Blood Pressure
Monitor.
Note: This chart is not intended to provide a basis for any type of emergency condition or
diagnosis based on the color scheme; this chart only depicts different classifications of blood
pressure. Consult your physician for proper interpretation of blood pressure results.
CONTRAINDICATION
PARTS AND DISPLAY INDICATORS
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.

Body Posture
Sitting Comfortably During Measurement
a. Be seated with your feet flat on the floor without crossing your legs.
b. Place your hand palm-side up in front of you on a flat surface such as a desk or a table.
c. The middle of the cuff should be at the level of the right atrium of your heart.
Lying Down During Measurement
a. Lie on your back.
b. Place your arm straight along your side with your hand palm-side up.
c. 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.
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.

Apply the Cuff
a. Pull the cuff end through the metal loop, positioning it outward
(away from your body).
b. Place a bare arm through the cuff and position the cuff
1/2” (1-2cm)above the elbow joint.
c. Tighten the cuff by pulling it towards your body, securing it
closed with the Velcro fastener.
d. While seated, place your hand, palm-side up, in front of you on a flat surface such as a desk or
table. Position the monitor in the middle of your arm so that it is aligned with your middle finger.
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.
e. The cuff should fit comfortably, yet snugly around your arm. You should be able to insert one
finger between your arm and the cuff.

Connect -> On)
Taking Measurements with Mutiple iOS Devices
Turn off the Bluetooth of the last used iOS device if the Auto Connect option is enabled in your
App, then follow the Set Up Instructions in the Quick Start Guide.
Measuring without an iOS Device
Enable the Offline Measurement function on the App.(Device Setting -> Offline Measurement ->
On)Apply the cuff, follow the "Measurement Procedures", and then press the "START/STOP"

automatically. It is recommended that the iOS device be set in Airplane mode during measure-
ment to avoid strong magnetism interference.
6. If Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) is detected during the measurement procedure, the IHB symbol will
be displayed. Under this condition, the Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor can keep functioning,
but the results may be inaccurate. Please consult your physician for accurate assessment.
There are 2 conditions under which the signal of IHB will be displayed:
a) The coefficient of variation (CV) of pulse period >25%.
b) The difference of adjacent pulse period ≥0.14s and the number of such pulse takes more than
53 percent of the total number of pulses.
7. Please do not use any other cuff other than that supplied by the manufacturer as this may result
in measurement errors and a biocompatible hazard.
8. Information regarding potential electromagnetic or other interference between the blood
pressure monitor and other devices together with advice regarding avoidance of such interfer-
ence, please see ELECTROMAGNETIC COMPATIBILITY INFORMATION. It is suggested that the
blood pressure monitor be kept 10 meters away from other wireless devices, such as WLAN
unit, microwave oven, etc.
9. This product should not be used as a USB device.
