2. Setup

2.1 Powering the Device

The monitor is battery-powered. Insert 4 AAA batteries (not included) into the battery compartment on the back of the unit, ensuring correct polarity. Alternatively, you can power the device using the provided USB to Micro USB cable connected to a compatible USB power source.

2.2 Attaching the Cuff

1. Insert the air plug of the cuff firmly into the air jack on the side of the monitor unit.
2. Ensure the connection is secure to prevent air leakage during measurement.

2.3 App Installation and Bluetooth Pairing

For full functionality and data tracking, download the Balance Health app by Greater Goods. The app is available on both iOS and Android devices.

• Search for "Balance Health by Greater Goods" in your device's app store.
• Install the app and create an account.
• Follow the in-app instructions to pair your blood pressure monitor via Bluetooth. Ensure Bluetooth is enabled on your smartphone.

3. Operating Instructions

3.1 Before Taking a Measurement

• Avoid eating, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising, or bathing for 30 minutes before measurement.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Sit upright with your back supported, feet flat on the floor, and legs uncrossed.
• Place your arm on a flat surface so the cuff is at heart level.

3.2 Applying the Arm Cuff

1. Wrap the cuff around your bare upper arm, approximately 1 inch (2-3 cm) above your elbow.
2. Ensure the air tube runs down the center of your arm in line with your middle finger.
3. The cuff should be snug but not too tight; you should be able to insert two fingers between the cuff and your arm.

3.3 Taking a Measurement

1. Press the START/STOP button to turn on the monitor and begin inflation.
2. The cuff will inflate, and the measurement will automatically begin. Remain still and silent during the measurement.
3. Once complete, your Systolic (SYS), Diastolic (DIA), and Pulse (PUL) readings will be displayed on the screen.
4. The monitor will automatically store the reading in the selected user profile (A or B).
5. Press the START/STOP button again to turn off the monitor, or it will automatically shut off after 1 minute of inactivity.

3.4 Understanding Your Readings

• SYS (Systolic Pressure): The top number, indicating the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats.
• DIA (Diastolic Pressure): The bottom number, indicating the pressure in your arteries between beats.
• PUL (Pulse Rate): Your heart rate, measured in beats per minute.
• The monitor also features a color-coded indicator on the left side of the display to help interpret your blood pressure level according to WHO guidelines.
• An irregular heartbeat indicator will appear if an irregular heartbeat is detected during the measurement.

3.5 Dual-User Function and Memory

The monitor supports two users (User A and User B), each capable of storing up to 60 readings. To switch between users, press the A/B button. To view past readings, press the MEM button.

3.6 App Synchronization and Data Sharing

Readings automatically sync to the Balance Health app when the app is open and the monitor is connected via Bluetooth. The app allows you to:

• Store unlimited entries.
• Analyze your health data over time with graphs and trends.
• Share your readings with your healthcare provider (the app is HIPAA compliant).

4. Maintenance

4.1 Cleaning

Wipe the monitor and cuff with a soft, dry cloth. If necessary, use a slightly damp cloth with mild soap, then wipe dry. Do not use abrasive cleaners or immerse the unit or cuff in water.
