Important safety information
Read this important information carefully before
you use the device and save it for future reference.
Warning
- Please keep the unit out of reach of infants,
children or pets, since inhalation or swallowing
of small parts can be dangerous or even fatal.
- The device is not suitable for measuring the
blood pressure of children.
- The device is not suitable for persons who have
electrical implants.
- Do not use this blood pressure monitor on any
arm where intravascular access or therapy
(such as an intravenous drip or a blood transfu
sion), or an arterio-venous shunt (A-V shunt) is
present. The temporary interference to blood
flow by the blood pressure measurement could
result in injury.
- If you had a mastectomy (breast amputation)
do not use this blood pressure monitor on the
arm on the side of the mastectomy. The inflat
ing cuff can lead to pain, trauma and further
injury in the arm on the side of the mastectomy.
- Consult your doctor if your suffer from illnesses
prior to using the device.
- No modifications of this equipment are allowed.
This may result in increased emissions or
decreased immunity of the device.
- Do not use the blood pressure monitor during
charging as it can cause injury.
- Do not touch the output of the adapter as it can
cause injury.
- Do not dispose of batteries in fire. Battery may
explode or leak.
- If you experience discomfort during a measure
ment, such as pain in the arm or other com
plaints, press the 'on' button to release the air
immediately from the cuff. Loosen the cuff and
remove it from your wrist.
- 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 mmHg or constant
pressure >15 mmHg for more than 3 minutes)
applied to the arm, may lead to bruises (ecchy
mosis).
- Too frequent and consecutive measurements
could cause disturbances in blood circulation
and injuries.
- Beware of strangulation particularly for children
and infants due to cables.
- Do not connect the tube to other medical
equipment, as this could lead to dangerous
injuries.
- This device is not intended for patients outside
a home environment.
- Never use any accessories or parts from other
manufacturers or that Philips does not specifi
cally recommend. Using such accessories or
parts could cause a hazardous situation for the
user or damage to the device.
- Only use the accessories and detachable parts
authorized by the manufacturer. The use of
unauthorized parts or accessories may cause
damage to the device or injury to the user.
Caution
- Always check the device before you use it. Do
not use the device if it is damaged, as this may
cause injury.

- The effectiveness of this blood pressure moni
tor has not been established in pregnant
(including pre-eclamptic) women.
- Common arrhythmias (such as atrial or ventric
ular premature beats or atrial fibrillation) and
peripheral artery disease / arteriosclerosis can
affect the performance (accuracy) of this blood
pressure monitor. Please consult your doctor
how to best use this blood pressure monitor if
you suffer from any of these conditions.
- Only use this device for its intended purpose as
described in this user manual.
- Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diag
nosis. This device allows you to monitor your
blood pressure. Do not begin or end medical
treatment based on the measurement results.
Always consult your doctor for treatment
advice.
- Do not take any therapeutic measures on the
basis of a self-measurement. Never change
prescribed medication without consulting your
doctor. Consult your doctor if you have any
questions about your blood pressure.
- If you are taking medication, consult your
physician to determine the most appropriate
time to measure your blood pressure.
- This device is not intended for use on extremi
ties other than the wrist or for functions other
than obtaining a blood pressure measurement.
- If the cuff pressure exceeds 40kPa (300mmHg),
the unit will deflate automatically. If the cuff
does not deflate when pressures exceeds
40kPa (300mmHg), detach the cuff from the
wrist and press the 'on' button to stop inflation.
- Do not attach the cuff on the same arm on
which other monitoring medical electrical
equipment is attached simultaneously, because
this could cause temporary loss of function of
those simultaneously-used monitoring medical
electrical equipment.
- Never attach the cuff on injured skin, an injured
arm or an arm under medical treatment as this
can cause further injury.
- Do not use the device in case of existing poly
ester or nylon material allergies.
- This device is not washable. Never immerse the
device in water and do not rinse it under the
tap.
- This device is not suitable for continuous moni
toring during medical emergencies or opera
tions.

quency) surgical equipment at the same time.
- Never use compressed air, scouring pads, abra
sive cleaning agents or aggressive liquids such
as petrol or acetone to clean the device.
- If the battery can no longer be recharged or
when the device does not function properly
anymore (see 'Specifications'), please contact
the Philips Consumer Care center in your coun
try.
- Keep the device away from fire and heat
sources, as the battery can overheat, causing
fire or bursting. The battery could explode,
causing injury or death.
- After charging, remove the micro USB plug from
the device and remove the USB plug from USB
portal.
- The equipment is not AP/APG equipment and
is not suitable for use in the presence of a flam
mable anesthetic mixture with air, with oxygen
or nitrous oxide.

device near strong electrical or magnetic fields,
for example magnets, radio transmitters,
microwave ovens.
- To avoid measurement errors, do not use the
device near a strong electromagnetic field radi
ated interference signal or electrical fast tran
sient/burst signal.
- Use this device under the right environmental
conditions as indicated in this user manual. If
not, this could affect the performance, lifetime
of the device and measurement results.
- Use a soft cloth to clean the whole unit. Do not
use any abrasive or volatile cleaners.
- Only use the micro USB cable supplied to
charge the device.
- The device does not need to be calibrated for
two years of normal use. After two years the
measurements may become less accurate.
- If you have any problems with this device, such

Using the blood pressure
monitor
This tubeless device uses the oscillometric method
to measure blood pressure and heart rate.
Before every measurement, the unit establishes a
“zero point” equivalent to the atmospheric pres
sure. Then it starts inflating the cuff. During the
measurement, the device detects the pressure
oscillations in the blood vessels generated by the
heart pumping blood through the body. These
pressure oscillations are used to determine systolic
and diastolic blood pressure as well as heart rate.
While measuring heart rate, the device also deter
mines the small variations between the individual
heartbeats. If these variations exceed a pre-
defined threshold, the irregular heart rate detector
symbol lights up.
Systolic and diastolic pressure
The heart consists of two large chambers, the ven
tricles and two smaller chambers, the atria. The
ventricles collect blood from the atria and expel it
towards the peripheral beds of blood vessels with
in the body and the lungs. The atria collect blood
from these peripheral beds and prime the ventri
cles.
When the ventricles contract and pump blood out
of the heart, the blood pressure reaches its maxi
mum value in the cycle, which is called systolic
pressure (Fig. 3).
When the ventricles relax and are filled again with
blood, the blood pressure reaches its minimum
value in the cycle, which is called diastolic pressure
(Fig. 4).
Blood pressure classification
Consult a doctor in case of questions about your
blood pressure. Your doctor can inform you:
- About your normal blood pressure range.
- If your measuring result falls out of the range.
- Whether your blood pressure has reached a
dangerous level.
The following table shows the classification system
for the blood pressure measurements used in this
