Digital Blood Pressure Monitor User Manual

Introduction

This user manual provides essential information for the safe and effective operation of your ChoiceMMed BP11 Digital Blood Pressure Monitor. Please read this manual thoroughly before using the device and keep it for future reference.

The ChoiceMMed BP11 blood pressure monitor is designed for non-invasive measurement of an adult individual's blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and heart rate. It is an upper arm type monitor with fully automatic inflation. Readings are calculated from the three most recent results, ensuring accuracy even for individuals with conditions like glycuresis, hyperlipaemia, or hypertension.

Key features include a color indicator code based on WHO blood pressure classification, an irregular heartbeat indicator, and a memory function storing 120 readings with date and time for effective blood pressure management. The device features a large 4-inch LCD display for easy reading and comes with a comfortable cuff and a carrying bag.

• DIA (Diastolic Pressure): Middle number in mmHg.
• PULSE (Pulse Rate): Bottom number in beats/min.
• Blood Pressure Classification Indicator: Vertical color bar on the left, indicating blood pressure level according to WHO guidelines.
• Memory Display with Date & Time: Shows current time and date, and memory group.
• SET Button: Used to adjust settings (e.g., date, time).
• START/STOP Button: Initiates and stops a measurement.
• M (Memory) Button: Used to recall stored measurements.

Setup

1. Installing Batteries

1. Open the battery compartment cover on the back of the monitor.
2. Insert 4 AA alkaline batteries (not provided) according to the polarity indicators (+/-) inside the compartment.
3. Close the battery compartment cover securely.

Operating Instructions

Taking a Measurement

1. Prepare for Measurement: Sit comfortably with your back supported and feet flat on the floor. Rest your arm on a table so the cuff is at heart level. Avoid talking or moving during the measurement.
2. Apply the Cuff: Slide your left arm through the cuff loop. Position the cuff so the air tube runs down the center of your arm in line with your middle finger. The bottom edge of the cuff should be approximately 2-3 cm (0.8-1.2 inches) above your elbow. Ensure the cuff is snug but not too tight; you should be able to insert two fingers between the cuff and your arm.
3. Start Measurement: Press the START/STOP button. The cuff will automatically inflate. Remain still and quiet.
4. Reading Display: Once the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your systolic pressure, diastolic pressure, and pulse rate will be displayed on the LCD screen.
5. Power Off: Press the START/STOP button again to turn off the device, or it will automatically power off after a period of inactivity.

Recalling Measurements from Memory

The device stores up to 120 measurements with date and time stamps.

1. With the device off, press the M (Memory) button.
2. The most recent measurement will be displayed first.
3. Press the M button repeatedly to scroll through previous measurements.
4. To exit memory mode, press the START/STOP button or wait for automatic power-off.

Understanding Your Readings

Blood Pressure Values

• Systolic Pressure (SYS): The higher number, representing the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats.
• Diastolic Pressure (DIA): The lower number, representing the pressure in your arteries between beats, when your heart rests.
• Pulse Rate: Your heart rate, measured in beats per minute (bpm).

WHO Blood Pressure Classification Indicator

The monitor features a color indicator on the left side of the display, which corresponds to the World Health Organization (WHO) classification of blood pressure levels. This helps you quickly understand your reading's category:

• Green: Optimal/Normal Blood Pressure
• Yellow: High-Normal Blood Pressure
• Orange: Mild-Moderate Hypertension
• Red: Severe Hypertension

Always consult a healthcare professional for diagnosis and treatment of high blood pressure.

Irregular Heartbeat Indicator

If an irregular heartbeat is detected during the measurement, a special symbol will appear on the display. This indicates that a pulse rhythm inconsistent with a normal heartbeat was detected. If this symbol appears frequently, please consult your doctor.

Maintenance and Care

• Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the monitor. If necessary, a cloth lightly dampened with water or a mild detergent can be used, then wipe dry immediately. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the device in water.
• Storage: Store the device and cuff in the provided carrying case in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and humidity.
• Battery Replacement: If the device will not be used for an extended period, remove the batteries to prevent leakage and damage.
• Cuff Care: The cuff can be gently wiped clean with a damp cloth. Do not wash the cuff in a washing machine or immerse it in water.
