USER MANUAL BPW1000EU HOMEDICS

HOMEDICS BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR Before use

Before the blood pressure monitor is taken into use a number of basic steps should be

observed. Please read this manual thoroughly before the blood pressure monitor is used for

the first time and keep the manual for future use.

The blood pressure monitor is intended for home use only. Any measurement is solely for

your information and can under no circumstances replace a visit to the doctor. The blood

pressure measurements should always be assessed by a qualified person (a doctor, nurse or

similar) who is familiar with the user’s general medical condition. By regular use and by

keeping a record of the results, this person can be kept well informed about developments

in the user’s blood pressure. Measurements must never be interpreted by the user with the

aim of changing levels in the use of medicine as prescribed by a doctor, but the doctor’s

instructions must be followed AT ALL TIMES.

Use of appropriate cuff size is crucial to correct measurement. Follow the instructions

presented in this manual and printed on the cuff to ensure that the correct cuff size is used.

The blood pressure monitor is not suited for users who suffer from arrhythmia (heart rhythm

disturbances) and errors may occur in the measurement results if the user has suffered a

stroke, suffers from cardiovascular diseases, has a very low blood pressure, or suffers from

other symptoms such as circulatory diseases (diabetes, kidney diseases, arterial sclerosis

(deposits in the arteries), or poor peripheral blood circulation (e.g. in hands and feet).

Electromagnetic disturbances: The device contains sensitive electronic components. Keep it

clear of strong electric or electromagnetic fields in the immediate surroundings (e.g. mobile

telephones, microwave ovens) as these may temporarily reduce measurement accuracy.

Use the blood pressure monitor only for its original purpose.

The device is intended for measurement of blood pressure and pulse with adult persons. Do

not apply the monitor to infants nor to persons who cannot express their permission. The

device must not be operated by children.

The blood pressure monitor functions in accordance with the oscillometric measurement

principle. These blood pressure changes are measured in the cuff on the basis of the arm

pulse and are converted into a numerical value of the current blood pressure.

Simultaneously, the number of pulse beats are registered and calculated as number of pulse

There are two kinds of discernible blood pressures. Both are expressed in mmHg

(millimetres on the mercury column): The systolic and the diastolic. The systolic (‘the high

blood pressure’) states the pressure when the heart chambers contract to send blood

through your body, and the diastolic (‘the low blood pressure’) states the pressure when the

heart is at ease and filling with blood before the next muscle contraction. The connection

between values (mmHg) is expressed as e.g. 130 over 85 which means that the systolic

pressure is 130 and the diastolic pressure is 85.

Why is it important to keep an eye on your blood pressure?

Many of today’s most common diseases are connected to hypertension , also referred to as

‘high blood pressure’. Hypertension is closely connected to cardiovascular diseases, and for

people in the danger zone the blood pressure provides an important tool to keep an eye on

IB-BPW1000-0616-04.qxp_Layout 1 28/07/2016 13:07 Page 2GB

What are systolic pressure and diastolic

When ventricles contract and pump blood

out of the heart, blood pressure reaches

its maximum value, the highest pressure

in the cycle is known as systolic pressure.

When the heart relaxes between

heartbeats, the lowest blood pressure is

What is the standard blood pressure

classification mode by World Health

Organization (WHO) and International

Society of Hypertension(ISH) in 1999.

CAUTION Only a physician/GP can tell you your normal blood pressure range and

the point at which you are at risk. Consult your physician to obtain these values. If

the measurements taken with this product fall outside the range, consult your physician/GP.

CAUTION The appearance of the IHB icon indicates that a pulse irregularity

consistent with an irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Usually

this is NOT a cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we recommend

you seek medical advice. Please note that the device does not replace a cardiac

examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

Irregular Heartbeat Detector

An irregular heartbeat is detected when a heartbeat rhythm varies while the unit is

measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. During each measurement, this

equipment records the heartbeat intervals and works out the standard deviation. If the

calculated value is larger than or equal to 15, the irregular heartbeat symbol appears on the

symbol when the measurement results are displayed.

cuff is at the same level as your heart see

NOTE: Your heart is located slightly below

your armpit a bit to the left of the middle

of your chest. Relax your entire body,

especially the area between your elbow

2. If the cuff is not at the same level as your

heart or if you can not keep your arm

completely still throughout the reading,

use a soft object such as a folded towel to

support your arm see Fig. F. Do not allow

hard objects to come in contact with the

Important notes regarding your blood pressure measurement

• Take your reading in a comfortable environment as measurements can be aected by

hot or cold temperatures. Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature.

• Do not move or talk during measurement as this can elevate readings.

• Do not move or cross legs during measurement. Keep feet at on oor.

• Do not touch cu or monitor during measurement procedure.

• It is suggested that you take your measurements at the same time each day and use

the same arm for consistency.

• Users should wait a minimum of 5 minutes before taking additional measurements.

More time may be necessary depending upon your physiology.

• The measurement results that users receive are for reference only. If users have any

blood pressure concerns, please consult your doctor.

• Once ination reaches 300 mmHg, the unit will deate automatically for safety reasons.

• This product is not suitable for people with arrhythmias.

• This device may have diculty determining the proper blood pressure for users with

diabetes, poor circulation of blood, kidney problems, or for users who have suered a

• Position the monitor at the same level as your heart during measurement to ensure

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

• Blood pressure measurement can be aected by the position of the user, his or her

physiologic condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour after

exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caeine, or smoking to

measure blood pressure.

• Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly for 15 minutes as

measurements taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should not

be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.

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