The Fysic FB-180 blood pressure monitor is developed to easily and precisely measure your blood pressure.

By regularly checking your blood pressure at home, you can provide your doctor with valuable information about your actual everyday blood pressure.

DECLARATION OF CONFORMITY

This product meets the requirements of EC Directive 93/42/EEC (Medical Equipment Directive).

C€0123

The declaration of conformity is available on the website WWW.FYSIC.COM

STANDARD VALUES

Depending on the person and situation, a normal blood pressure is:

• lower value (DIA): < 90
• upper value (SYS): < 140

In case of 'light hypertension', the blood pressure is:

• lower value (DIA): 90-110
  upper value (SYS): 140-180

In case of 'serious hypertension', the blood pressure is:

• lower value (DIA): >110
• upper value (SYS): >180

During the entire day, our blood pressure is continuously undergoing changes. In the morning it rises heavily and at the end of the morning it goes down again. In the late afternoon our blood pressure rises yet again, while it settles on a low level at night. This is why your measurements can vary when taken at different times of the day.

IMPORTANT

• This product is intended only for household use and for use by adults.
• Keep the product and batteries out of reach of children.
• People suffering from cardiac arrhythmia, vascular constriction, arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries) in the upper or lower limbs, diabetes and heart patients with pacemakers should consult their doctor before measuring their blood pressure, because in these cases deviating blood pressure values could be measured.
  If you're undergoing medical treatment or if you're using medicine, we recommend you to always consult your doctor when in doubt.
• The use of this blood pressure monitor should not be regarded as a replacement for consulting your doctor.

POWER SUPPLY

Battery:

1. Remove the battery compartment cover on the back of the blood pressure monitor.
2. Install 4x 1.5V battery, size AAA.
3. Place the battery compartment cover back onto the blood pressure monitor.

Power adaptor:

At the bottom of the blood pressure monitor, you'll find a power adapter input with the following specifications:

input: 100-240V AC 50/60HzHz

output 6V DC 600mA

A power adapter is not included.

CUFF

1. Lay down the cuff in front of you as follows:

2. Remove the clothing or roll up the sleeve to expose the left arm and slide the cuff up around the left arm until approx. 2 or 3cm above the elbow. The flexible tube should come out of the cuff at the inside of the elbow joint.

3. Wrap the cuff around the arm and attach it to the Velcro tape (don't over tighten).

MEASURING

Guidelines for accurate measurements:

• Always take measurements at the same time of the day (preferably in the morning) and under the same conditions.

• Never take measurements within half an hour after drinking coffee or tea or after smoking a cigar or cigarette.

• Relax and sit down during measurements, don't speak or move. You should relax your arm and put it in front of you with the cuff at the height of your heart.

• Wait approx. 3 minutes before taking the next measurement.

• Blood circulation should not be impeded, tight clothing and other objects should be removed.

Taking a measurement:

Attention: you can interrupt the measurement at any moment by pressing the START button. The FB-180 will then switch itself off instantly and the cuff will deflate.

1. Press the START button to turn on the FB-180.

2. The built-in pump will start to pressurize the cuff. It's possible for the pump to start again once or twice to build up some more pressure.

3. As soon as the desired pressure is reached, the pump will stop while the cuff gradually deflates;

4. while deflating, the blood pressure and heart rate are measured

5. when the measurement is finished, the display will show the blood pressure (both the systolic and diastolic blood pressure) and the heart rate while the cuff will fully deflate

6. the measured blood pressure and heart rate are automatically stored in the memory

7. The FB-180 will switch itself off automatically after 3 minutes of you can turn off the FB-180 quicker by pressing the START button.

Indication according to WHO

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has divided blood pressure in different classifications in a clear overview.

Keep in mind that the individual blood pressure differs from person to person. Therefore, only use this table as a guideline.

The FB-180 uses coloured bars to indicate to which classification the measured blood pressure belongs:

Severe hypertension

Moderate hypertension

Mild hypertension

High - Normal

Normal

Optimal

MEMORY

Each measurement is automatically stored in the memory. The memory has a capacity for 90 measurements. When the memory is full, each new measurement will erase the oldest stored measurement.

Checking the memory:

• Press the R button to display the average of the last 3 measurements.
• Press the R button again, '01' will appear followed by the results of the last measurement.
• Press the R button again, '02' will appear followed by the results of the second-to-last measurement.
• Repeat this for all previous measurements.

Erasing the memory:

Make sure to turn on the FB-180.
- Press and hold the R button for approx. 5 seconds until 'CLr' appears in the display. All measurements stored in the memory will now be deleted.

POSSIBLE PROBLEMS AND SOLUTIONSGELIJKE

No reaction when turning on the FB-180:

• Batteries empty? Install fresh ones.

"Err" appears in the display:

• Impossible to pressurize the cuff. Check whether it's loose and check the connection between the cuff and blood pressure monitor.
• The air escapes too quickly. If this happens repeatedly, please contact the service department of Fysic.
• Movement detected during the measurement. Please don't move during the measurement.
• Interfering signals near the FB-180. Remove any sources of interference, such as mobile phones.

• Incorrect measurement value. The cuff is incorrectly attached. Please attach the cuff again.

• The FB-180 is used incorrectly, for example on a child.

The FB-180 is only suitable for measuring the blood pressure of adults.

If it's still not possible to measure the blood pressure, please contact the service department of Fysic. Never disassemble the blood pressure monitor in any circumstances.

Keep in mind that not being able to take measurements can also be caused by the physical condition of the person. In this case, please consult your doctors.
