Blood Pressure Monitor
Introduction
Congratulations on the purchase of your new Insignia Blood Pressure
Monitor. Your blood pressure monitor features the latest in design and
capabilities and will provide reliable and trouble-free performance.
Indications for use
This blood pressure monitor is a digital monitor intended for use in
measuring blood pressure and heartbeat rate on persons with an arm
circumference ranging from approximately 8.75” to 16.5”(22 cm to
42 cm). It is intended for adult use only.
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 atmospheric pressure, then it begins
inflating the arm cuff. Meanwhile, the unit detects pressure oscillations
generated by beat-to-beat plusatile, which is used to determine the
systolic and diastolic pressure and the pulse rate.
Important Safety Instructions
• 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, electronic 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.
CAUTION

• 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 non-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. 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. 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 >300 mm Hg or constant pressure >15 mm Hg
for more than three minutes) applied to the arm may lead to an
ecchymosis.
• Please check that operation of the device does not result in
prolonged impairment of the patient’s blood circulation.
• When measuring, please avoid compression or restriction of the
connection tubing.
• The device cannot be used with HF surgical equipment at the same
time.
• The accompanying documents will disclose that the
SPHYGMOMANOMETER was clinically investigated according to the
requirements of ISO 81060-2:2013.
•Toverifythecalibrationofthe AUTOMATED SPHYGMOMANOMETER,
please contact the manufacturer.
• This device is contraindicated for any female who may be or is
pregnant. Besides providing inaccurate readings, the effects of this
device on the fetus are unknown.
• Too frequent and consecutive measurements could cause
disturbances in blood circulation and injuries.
• This unit is not suitable for continuous monitoring during medical
emergencies or operations. Otherwise, the patient’s arm and fingers
will become anaesthetic, swollen,and even purple due to a lack of
blood.
• When not in use, store the device in a dry room and protect it against
extreme moisture, heat, lint, dust, and direct sunlight. Never place
any heavy objects on the storage case.
• This device may be used only for the purpose described in these
accompanying documents. The manufacturer cannot be held liable
for damage caused by incorrect application.
• This device comprises sensitive components and must be treated
with caution. Observe the storage and operating conditions
described in these accompanying documents.
• The equipment is not AP/APG equipment and not suitable for use in
the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air of with
oxygen or nitrous oxide.
•Warning: No servicing/maintenance while the ME equipment is in
use.
• The patient is an intended operator.

• The patient can measure, transmit data, and change batteries under
normal circumstances and maintain the device and its accessories
according to the accompanying documents.
• To avoid measurement errors, please avoid strong electromagnetic
fields, radiated interference signals, or electrical fast transient/burst
signals.
• The blood pressure monitor and the cuff are suitable for use within
the patient environment. If you are allergic to polyester, nylon, or
plastic, please don't use this device.
• During use, the patient will be in contact with the cuff. The materials
of the cuff have been tested and found to comply with requirements
of ISO 10993-5:2009 and ISO 10993-10:2010. It will not cause any
potential sensation or irritation reaction.
• Adapter is specified as a part of ME EQUIPMENT.
• If you experience discomfort during a measurement, such as pain in
the arm or other complaints, press the START/STOP button to release
the air immediately from the cuff. Loosen the cuff and remove it from
your arm.
• If the cuff pressure reaches 40 kPa (300 mm Hg), the unit will
automatically deflate. Should the cuff not deflate when pressure
reaches 40 kPa (300 mm Hg), detach the cuff from the arm and press
the START/STOP button to stop inflation.
• Before use, make sure that the device functions safely and is in proper
working condition. Do not use the device if it is damaged in any way.
The continuous use of a damaged unit may cause injury, improper
results, or serious danger.
• Do not wash the cuff in a washing machine or dishwasher.
• The service life of the cuff may vary by the frequency of washing, skin
condition, and storage state. The typical service life is 10,000 times.
• It is recommended that the performance should be checked every
two years and after maintenance and repair, by retesting at least the
requirements in limits of the error of the cuff pressure indication and
air leakage (testing at least at 50 mm Hg and 200 mm Hg).
• Please dispose of ACCESSORIES, detachable parts, and the ME
EQUIPMENT according to the local guidelines.
• Manufacturer will make available on request circuit diagrams,
component part lists, descriptions, calibration instructions, etc., to
assist to service personnel in parts repair.
