MEASURING BLOOD PRESSURE – A FEW BASICS
Blood Pressure Monitor that uses the oscillometric principle to measure your blood pressure and pulse rate.
Blood pressure uctuates continually day and night. Any physical activity or excitement will inuence your
blood pressure. Because of this, it is unusual to obtain identical multiple blood pressure readings. This is
why it is recommended that you measure your blood pressure at approximately the same time every day.
1. Relax for 5 minutes before taking your blood pressure.
2. Sit comfortably at a table when measuring your blood pressure.
3. The cu should be placed at the same level as your heart.
4. Do not talk or move during a measurement.
5. Use the same arm every time.
6. Remove the batteries from the device if it is not used for a month or more to avoid battery leakage.
7. This blood pressure monitor is designed for adults and should not be used on children.
8. It is not recommended for people with serious arrhythmia to use this device.
9. Do not use any other cu than the one supplied by iHealth.
10. Relax…

WHY YOU SHOULD CONNECT YOUR DEVICE
Taking a measurement is easy. It’s what you do with the measurement that is important. You can use your
device as a stand-alone device just to measure your blood pressure, but when you connect it to the free
iHealth MyVitals App you will be able to track, store, manage and share your results with your family,
doctor or care givers. Simply download iHealth MyVitals on the Apple Store or on GooglePlay and start
managing your health.
Your iHealth account also gives you access to the free and secure iHealth cloud service so that you can
manage your data, watch your trends and share your data. To do this, visit www.ihealthlabs.eu and log in
3

using the same account as you used with your App.
The iHeath Track Blood Pressure Monitor is designed to be used with Bluetooth 4.0 Apple devices and
selected Bluetooth 4.0 Android smartphones. Please note that the compatible devices are subject to
change. For the latest compatibility list visit www.ihealthlabs.eu/support.
HOW TO USE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR
1. BATTERIES
a. Open the battery cover at the back of the device.
b. Load four“AAA”size batteries. Please pay attention to polarity.
c. Close the battery cover.
When the display shows the battery symbol ( ), replace all the batteries with new ones.
Rechargeable batteries are not suitable for this monitor.
The monitor, the batteries and the cu must be disposed of according to local regulations at the end of
their usage.
2. HOW TO PLACE THE CUFF ON YOUR ARM
The iHeath Track Blood Pressure Monitor has a universal size cu. This means that it will t any arm with a
circumference between 22 and 42cm. If your arm is too large to t in this cu, you might consider using a
wrist blood pressure monitor.
a. Place the cu tube downwards, around a bare arm about 2cm above the elbow joint.
4

b. Sit with your feet at on the oor without crossing your legs. While seated, place your palm upside in
front of you on a at surface such as a table.Lying Down During Measurement：（You can also lie on your
back and place your left arm straight along your side with your hand palm-side up.）Position the air tube
in the middle of your arm in line with your middle nger.
c. Close the cu with the Velcro fastener.
d. The cu should t comfortably around your arm. You should be able to insert one nger between your
arm and the cu.
Note: If the cu becomes dirty, remove it from the monitor and wipe it with a lightly moistened soft
cloth. Then air-dry the cu. Do not machine wash.Cleaning the cu after every 200 measurements is
recommended.
3. CONNECTING THE CUFF TO THE DEVICE
Once you have determined that the cu ts your arm (22 – 42cm), simply insert the cu connector into the
socket on the side of the monitor. Ensure that the connector is completely inserted to avoid air leakage.
1/2”(1-2 cm)
5

Avoid compression or restriction of the connection tubing during measurement，which may cause
ination error, or harmful injury due to continuous cu pressure.
4. SETTING THE DATE AND TIME
Insert the batteries in the device and connect it with the iHealth MyVitals App on your smartphone. The
time and date will automatically be updated. If you change the batteries, please readjust the time and date
again.
5. TAKING A BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
a. After placing the cu on your arm and relaxing for a few minutes, press the“START/STOP” button. All
display characters are shown for self-test, please contact the service center if segment is missing.
b. The monitor will inate the cu and then slowly release pressure from the cu as the blood pressure is
measured. When the measurement is nished the blood pressure and pulse rate will be displayed on the
display. The blood pressure will be displayed in dierent colours (green for normal, yellow for slightly
elevated, and red for high) according to the recommendations of the WHO (World Health Organization),
The result will automatically be stored in the memory bank of the monitor.
c. If an Irregular Heartbeat (IHB) is detected during a measurement, the IHB symbol will be displayed
(blinking). If an IHB is detected, the results of the blood pressure measurement may be inaccurate. Please
consult your physician for an accurate assessment.
d. At any time you can synchronize your device with the iHealth MyVitals App so that you can better
manage your blood pressure.
e. The monitor will automatically switch o after one minute to save the batteries. Alternatively, you can
press the“START/STOP”button to turn o the monitor manually.
f. At any time during a measurement, you can interrupt a measurement by pressing the“START/STOP”
button.

7. SYNCHRONIZING WITH THE IHEALTH MYVITALS APP
Before you can synchronize all your blood pressure readings, you need to download the iHealth MyVitals
App on your smartphone from the Apple Store (for iOS devices) or on GooglePlay Store (for Android). You
then need to create your own iHealth account on the App.
To synchronize:
1. Place your phone next to your blood pressure monitor.
2. Start the iHealth MyVitals App on your smartphone (ensure that your Bluetooth is activated in your settings).
3. Press the“M”(Memory) button on the blood pressure monitor. The number of readings in the memory
will be displayed. After a few seconds the iHeath Track Blood Pressure Monitor will automatically start
synching the readings to the iHealth MyVitals App. While it is synchronizing you will see the readings
numbers gradually come down on the blood pressure monitor, until they reach zero. When zero is
displayed on your monitor, it means that all the readings have been synchronized and that you can new
view all your data in the“List” of the iHealth MyVitals App.
4. If no result stored, the number of readings in the memory will be displayed zero.

9. GENERAL SAFETY AND PRECAUTIONS
1. Carefully read the user guide before operating the device.
2. Consult your physician for any of the following situations:
a) The application of the cu over a wound or inamed area.
b) The application of the cu on the arm on the side of a mastectomy.
c) Simultaneous use with other medical monitoring equipment on the same limb.
d) The application of the cu on any limb with intravascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (A-V)
shunt.
e) The blood circulation of the user needs to be checked.
3. Do not use this product in a moving vehicle as this may result in inaccurate measurements.
4. The IHB symbol will be displayed under 2 sets of circumstances:
a) The coecient of variation (CV) of pulse period >25%.
b) The dierence of adjacent pulse period is ≥0.14s and more than 53% of the total number of pulses
readings falls within this denition.
5. Please do not use any cu other than that supplied by the manufacturer as this may result in inaccurate
measurements.
6. The monitor will show 'HI' or 'Lo' as technical alarm on LCD with no delay if the determined blood
pressure (systolic or diastolic) is outside the rated range specied in part SPECIFICATIONS. In this case, you
