4. Confirm that the artery position mark is line up with the artery.

3.2.2 How to sit correctlyTo take a measurement, you need to be relaxed and comfortably seated. Sit in a chair with your legs uncrossed and your feet flat on the floor. Place your left arm on a table so the cuff is level with your heart.

Note:

• The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm, and the measured blood pressure readings can be different. The Viatom recommends to always use the same arm for measurement. If the blood pressure readings between both arms differ substantially, check with your physician to determine as to which arm to use for your measurements.
• The time is about 5s required for the product to warm from the minimum storage temperature between uses until the product is ready for its intended use when the ambient temperature is 20°C, and the time is about 5s required for the product to cool from the maximum storage temperature between uses until the product is ready for its intended use when the ambient temperature is 20°C.

Note:

• The product has an automatic power shut-off function, which turns off the power automatically in one minute after measurement.
• During the measurement, you should keep still and don’t squeeze the cuff. Stop measuring when the pressure result appear in the product. Otherwise the measurement may be effected and the blood pressure readings may be inaccurate.
• The device can store maximum 100 readings for Blood Pressure data. The oldest record will be overwritten when the 101th readings is coming in. Please uploading data in time.

NIBP Measurement PrincipleThe NIBP measurement way is oscillation method. Oscillation measurement is using automatic inflator pump. When the pressure is high enough to block arterial blood flow, then it would deflate slowly, and record all the change of cuff pressure in the deflation process to calculate blood pressure based on certain algorithm. The computer will judge whether the quality of signal is accurate enough. If the signal is not accurate enough (Such as sudden movement or touch of cuff while measurement), the machine will stop deflating or re-inflate, or abandon this measurement and calculation.The operating steps needed to obtain accurate routine resting blood pressure measurements for the condition hypertension including:— Patient position in normal use, including comfortably seated, legs uncrossed, feet flat on the floor, back and arm supported, middle of the cuff at the level of the right atrium of the heart.— The patient should be relaxed much as possible and should not talk during the measurement procedure.— 5 minutes should elapse before the first reading is taken.— Operator position in normal use.

3.3 Measure ECG3.3.1 Before using ECG

• Before using ECG function, pay attention to the following points in order to obtain precise measurements.
• The ECG electrode must be positioned directly against the skin.
• If your skin or hands are dry, moisten them using a damp cloth before taking the measurement.
• If the ECG electrodes are dirty, remove the dirt using a soft cloth or cotton bud dampened with disinfectant alcohol.
• During the measurement, do not touch your body with the hand with which you are taking the measurement.
• Please note that there must be no skin contact between your right and left hand. Otherwise, the measurement cannot be taken correctly.
• Stay still during the measurement, do not speak, and hold the product still. Movements of any kind will falsify the measurements.
• If possible, take the measurement when sitting and not when standing.

Guidance and Declaration – Electromagnetic ImmunityGuidance and Declaration – Electromagnetic Immunity

Note 1: At 80 MHz to 800 MHz, the separation distance for the higher frequency range applies.Note 2: These guidelines may not apply in all situations. Electromagnetic propagation is affected by absorption and reflection from structures, objects and people.

a The ISM (industrial, scientific and medical) bands between 0,15 MHz and 80 MHz are 6,765 MHz to 6,795 MHz; 13,553 MHz to 13,567 MHz; 26,957 MHz to 27,283 MHz; and 40,66 MHz to 40,70 MHz. The amateur radio bands between 0,15 MHz and 80 MHz are 1,8 MHz to 2,0 MHz, 3,5 MHz to 4,0 MHz, 5,3 MHz to 5,4 MHz, 7 MHz to 7,3 MHz, 10,1 MHz to 10,15 MHz, 14 MHz to 14,2 MHz, 18,07 MHz to 18,17 MHz, 21,0 MHz to 21,4 MHz, 24,89 MHz to 24,99 MHz, 28,0 MHz to 29,7 MHz and 50,0 MHz to 54,0 MHz.

b The compliance levels in the ISM frequency bands between 150 kHz and 80 MHz and in the frequency range 80 MHz to 2,7 GHz are intended to decrease the likelihood that mobile/portable communications equipment could cause interference if it is inadvertently brought into patient areas. For this reason, an additional factor of 10/3 has been incorporated into the formulae used in calculating the recommended separation distance for transmitters in these frequency ranges.

c Field strengths from fixed transmitters, such as base stations for radio (cellular/cordless) telephones and land mobile radios, amateur radio, AM, and FM radio broadcast and TV broadcast cannot be predicted theoretically with accuracy. To assess the electromagnetic environment due to fixed RF transmitters, an electromagnetic site survey should be considered. If the measured field strength in the location in which the Blood Pressure Monitor is used exceeds the applicable RF compliance level above, the Blood Pressure Monitor should be observed to verify normal operation. If abnormal performance is observed, additional measures may be necessary, such as re-orienting or relocating the Blood Pressure Monitor.

d Over the frequency range 150 kHz to 80 MHz, field strengths should be less than 3 V/m.
