Smart Valve Measuring Technology
®
The Physio Logic Smart Valve Wrist blood pressure monitor uses
the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the
cuff starts inflating, the device will establish a baseline cuff
pressure, which is equivalent to the air pressure. The measurement
of your blood pressure is based on this baseline pressure. During
the deflation of the wrist cuff, the monitor is detecting the pressure
oscillations generated by the beat-to-beat pulsatile.After detecting
the amplitude and the slope of the pressure oscillations during the
deflation process, the monitor will determine the systolic and
diastolic pressures for you, while your pulse rate is detected at the
same time.
Statement of Accuracy
®
Blood pressure measurements determined with Physio Logic are
equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using cuff /
stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits prescribed by
the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated
Sphygmomanometers (ANSI /AAMI).
About Blood Pressure
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the arterial wall while blood
flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when the heart
contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest). The
pressure measured when the heart dilates with blood flowing back
into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.
High blood pressure’s strong correlation with cardiovascular
diseases and high morbidity has made measuring blood pressure a
necessity of identifying those at risk.

Blood Pressure Standard
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the National High
Blood Pressure Education Program Coordinating Committee
have developed a blood pressure standard, in which areas of low
and high risk blood pressure are identified. This standard is a
guideline as blood pressure varies among different people and
different age groups.
It is important that you consult with your physician regularly.
Your physician will tell you your normal blood pressure range as
well as the point at which you will be considered at risk.
Category Systolic (mmHg) Diastolic (mmHg)
Stage 2 Hypertension ³160 or ³ 100
Stage 1 Hypertension 140-159 or 90-99
Prehypertension 120-139 or 80-89
Normal < 120 and < 80
Blood Pressure for Adults Age 18 and Older
Blood Pressure Fluctuation
Blood pressure fluctuates all the time! You should not be overly
worried if you encounter two or three measurements at high levels.
Blood pressure changes over the month and throughout the day. It
is also influenced by season and temperature.

Before Taking a Measurement
To help you obtain more accurate readings:
• Urinate if necessary.
• Remove any clothing and jewellery from your left arm. Placing
the cuff on anything other than bare skin can result in an
inaccurate reading.
• Sit in a comfortable position with your legs and ankles uncrossed
and your back supported.
• Sit quietly for 15 minutes before measuring your blood pressure.
• If you need to retake a reading, wait at least 5 minutes to allow
your circulation to return to normal.
• Pick a time of day, and take your blood pressure at about the same
time every day. Since your blood pressure varies at different times
of the day, this will make it easier for you to compare your daily
blood pressure readings. A good time to take your blood pressure
is in the morning, before breakfast.
• Don't smoke, eat or exercise for 30 minutes before taking your
blood pressure. These activities can change your blood pressure.
• Do not measure your blood pressure immediately after
consuming a large meal. To obtain more accurate readings,
please wait one hour before measuring.
• Only take your blood pressure in a quiet place and when you are
relaxed. Don't take your blood pressure when you are under
stress.Any stress will raise your blood pressure.
• Position your arm so that the cuff is at the level of your heart.
• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing),
place it in a warm location for at least one hour before using it.

Installing Batteries
Carrying Case
Please store your blood pressure monitor in the carrying case
as shown below.
1. Place your thumb on the side of the battery
cover. Pull the battery cover in the direction
of the cuff to open.
2. Install lower battery first in the bottom
position with the battery ribbon underneath.
Ensure correct polarity. Battery Type: 2
Alkaline LR03 (AAA) size. Place in the other
battery and pull up the battery ribbon over it.
3. Replace the cover by placing the end tabs
of the battery cover in the slots on the top
of the battery compartment. Click in the
other end to secure the battery cover.
Replace batteries when:
1. Low battery icon appears on display.
2. Nothing appears in the display when the
power is switched on.
Note: Remove batteries when unit is not in use for extended
periods of time. Batteries are hazardous waste. Do not
dispose them together with the household garbage.

No. of memory
sequence
Shows the number of stored measurements.
Pulse Mark: Shows the pulse rate per minute.
Appears when batteries should be replaced.
Measurement Error (user’s pressure exceeding 250
mmHg or lower than 40 mmHg): Measure again quietly.
Keep wrist and arm steady during measurement.
If error keeps occurring, see page 13 - Troubleshooting.
Air Circuit Abnormality: Measure again.
Pressure Exceeding 300 mmHg: Measure again.
Data Error: Remove and reload the batteries.

Clear Values from Memory
1. To read memory values, press the "M" key.
The memory values will be shown on the
LCD display. The average measurement
will be shown first and a new press of the
“M” key will show the last measurement.
2. Every new press of the “M” key calls for one
prior value stored.
1. Press and hold the “M” key for approximately 5 seconds to clear
the data. The data may be lost if the batteries are removed. Users
should record the data on a blood pressure recording chart or in
the BPManager before removing the batteries.

Time Adjustment
1. To adjust the date / time in the monitor, press the Set key .
The display will show a blinking number showing the month.
2. Change the month by pressing the “ ” Key. Each press will
increase the number by one in a cycling manner. Press the Set
Key again to confirm the entry, and the screen will show a
blinking number representing the date.
3. Change the date, the hour, and the minute as described in Step 2
above, using the “ ” Key to change and the Set Key to
confirm the entries.
4. A “0” will reappear as the Blood Pressure Monitor is ready for
measurement again.
