Blood pressure measurements determined with X5 are equivalent to those obtained by

a trained observer using cu/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits pre-

scribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanom-

eters. This unit is to be used by adult consumers in a home environment. The patient is an

intended operator. Do not use this device on infants or neonates. X5 is protected against

manufacturing defects by an established International Warranty Program. For warranty

information, you can contact the manufacturer, Rossmax International Ltd.

Attention: Consult the accompanying documents. Please read this manual care-

fully before use. For specic information on your own blood pressure, contact your

physician. Please be sure to keep this manual.

Pulse Arrhythmia (PARR) technology specically detects the existence of pulse arrhyth-

mia, including atrial brillation (AFib), Atrial and / or Ventricular Premature Contractions

(PC). Pulse Arrhythmia may be related to cardiac disorders, needs medical attention and

thus early diagnosis is of paramount importance. The PARR technology detects arrhyth-

mia during regular blood pressure checks without any additional user skills, user interac-

tion and measurement prolongation. Beside the blood pressure diagnosis a specic pulse

arrhythmia diagnosis is provided with PARR.

Note: The PARR detection of AFib and PC is provided with a clinically proven high detec-

tion probability [1]. However, the sensitivity and specicity is limited, thus most,

but not all pulse arrhythmia will be detected and displayed. In certain patients with

uncommon clinical conditions the PARR technology may not be able to detect

pulse arrhythmia. This partly comes from the fact that some arrhythmia can only

be found with an ECG diagnosis, but not with a pulse diagnosis. Thus PARR is not

meant to replace any medical ECG diagnosis by your doctor. PARR provides an early

detection of certain pulse arrhythmia, which inevitably need to be presented to

your doctor in charge.

Remark: [1] Clinical Investigation of PARR - A new Oscillometric Pulse Arrhythmia Type

Discriminating Detection Technology.

The upper chambers of the heart (the atria) do not contract, but quiver and thus blood

is driven irregularly and with lower eciency into the ventricles. Subsequently irregular

heartbeats occurs, which mostly are associated with a fast, yet highly instable heart rate.

This condition is associated with a higher risk for the formation of cardiac blood clots.

Amongst others, they may elevate the risk of brain strokes. Beside this atrial brillation

may contribute to the severity of a chronic or acute heart failure condition and may be

associated with other heart-related complications. Age dependent, about 10 %- 20 %

percent of patients who suer from an ischemic stroke also suer from atrial brillation.

Atrial brillation most often initially occurs with temporary periods of arrhythmia and may

progress to a permanent state of this disorder in the course of time. No matter, whether

you intent to safeguard yourself from an undetected AFib state, or you measure during

an ongoing period of active atrial brillation, or you measure in between periods of AFib,

the PARR technology can be applied at any of these conditions. This unit is able to detect

Atrial brillation (AFib). The ARR and AFib icons ( ) are displayed right after the

measurement if Atrial Fibrillation was detected.

Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the AFib icon

occurs newly for several times, or, if your AFib is known to your doctor, but the inci-

dence of AFib readings changes over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide

all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.

Note: The presence of a cardiac pacemaker may impair the AFib detection by PARR.

Extra abnormal heartbeats generated in irregular excitation sites of your heart, either in

the atria (PAC), the ventricle (PVC) or the cardiac conduction nodes (PNC). These extra

beats may disrupt your regular rhythm, they may come in early or cause a signicant

pauses regarding your perceivable pulse. This is called palpitations, which can be felt

in your chest. They may occur as isolated, single events, as a series of irregular pulses or

can be distributed all over your pulse beats. If they are not related to mental stress, or

acute demanding physical load, they may be a marker for a multitude of cardiac disor-

ders. Some of these disorders go along with an elevated risk prole for ischemic events,

either in the heart (e,g, coronary heart disease) or outside the heart, e.g. an elevated risk

for a stroke. Some PCs may indicate on valvular or myocardial disorders and become very

important if a myocarditis (infection of the heart muscle) is suspected. This unit is able to

detect premature contractions. The ARR and PC icons ( ) are displayed right after the

measurement if premature contractions have been detected.

Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the PC icon

occurs newly for several times, or, if your PC is known to your doctor, but the inci-

dence of PC readings changes over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide

all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.

Once the occurrence of pulse arrhythmia has been detected in the course of your blood

pressure measurement, the icon ARR is displayed. In the case, that the found pulse ar-

rhythmia can be specied by the PARR technology, the ARR icon is accompanied by the

specically detected type of arrhythmia, e.g. PC or AFib. Once the kind of found pulse ar-

rhythmia cannot be safely determined by PARR, the device is displaying ARR without any

additional pulse arrhythmia type icon.

This unit uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the cu starts

inating, the device will establish a baseline cu pressure equivalent to the air pressure.

This unit will automatically determine the appropriate ination level based on pressure

oscillations, followed by cu deation.

During the deation, the device will detect the amplitude and slope of the pressure os-

cillations and thereby determine your actual the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood

pressure, and pulse rate.

This Blood Pressure Monitor complies with the European regulations and bears the CE

mark “CE 0120”. The quality of the device has been veried and conforms to the provisions

of the EC council directive 93/42/EEC (Medical Device Directive), Annex I essential require-

ments and applied harmonized standards.

This blood pressure monitor was designed for long service periods. In order to ensure con-

tinued accuracy, it’s recommended that all digital blood pressure monitors require re-cal-

ibration. This monitor (under normal usage with approx. 3 measurements a day) does not

require re-calibration for 2 years. Once the unit should be re-calibrated the device will dis-

play . The unit should also be re-calibrated if the monitor sustains damage due to blunt

force (such as dropping) or exposure to uids and / or extreme hot or cold temperature /

humidity changes. When appears, simply return your device to your nearest dealer for

re-calibration service.

Refer to the denitions of the World Health Organization, the blood pressure ranges can be

classied into 6 grades. (Ref. 1999 WHO-International Society of Hypertension Guidelines

for the management of Hypertension). This blood pressure classication are based on sta-

tistical data, and may not be directly applicable to any particular patient. 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. For reliable mon-

itoring and reference of your blood pressure, keeping long-term records is recommended.

Please download the blood pressure log at our website www.rossmax.com.

If the cu was applied too loosely, it may cause unreliable measurement results or meas-

urements can fail to start. The “Loose Cu Detection” can help to determine if the cu is

wrapped snugly enough. The specied icon appears once a “loosen cu” has been

detected during measurement. Otherwise the specied icon appears if the cu is

wrapped correctly during measurement.

The “Movement Detection” helps reminding the user to remain still and is indicating any

adverse body movement during measurement. The specied icon appears once a “body

movement” has been detected during and after such a measurement.

Note: It’s highly recommended that you measure again if the icon appears.

This monitor has a non-stored single measurement function. Press the User-Switching key

to select the memory zone of guest , and follow the Measurement Procedure to take

a measurement correctly. When the measurement is completed, the measurement value

Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the ARR icon

occurs newly for several times, or, if your ARR is known to your doctor, but the inci-

dence of ARR readings changes over time. This is independent whether the ARR icon

is specied by another pulse arrhythmia icon or not. Your doctor will then be able to

provide all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.

The PARR technology is able to detect and display combined pulse arrhythmia ndings.

Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:

• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant uctuation throughout

the day.

• Blood pressure recording can be aected by the position of the user, his or her physi-

ological condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait one hour after exercising,

bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caeine, or smoking to measure blood

pressure.

• Before measurement, it’s suggested that you sit quietly for at least 5 minutes as measure-

ment taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should not be physically

tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.

• Do not take measurements if you are under stress or tension.

• Sit upright in a chair, and take 5-6 deep breaths. Avoid leaning back while the measure-

ment is being taken.

• Do not cross the legs while sitting and keep the feet at on the oor during measurement.

• During measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.

• Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot, wait

a while before taking a measurement.

• If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), have it placed at a warm

location for at least one hour before using it.

• Wait 5 minutes before taking the next measurement.

1. Press the User-Switching key to select memory zone 1, memory zone 2 or guest mode.

After a memory zone is selected, press the ON/OFF/START key to reset the monitor so it

can start measurement in the chosen memory zone.
