Getting Started
Is there any way to remind me to take the Body Check?
You can set a reminder event to remind you. When this Body Check reminder event is triggered, the device gives audio alarm prompt, which will last for one minute if you don’t cancel it manually. BPM supports up to 6 reminder events.
When should I take the Body Check measurement?
To ensure better tracking of your health status, it is strongly suggested that every Body Check measurement is made under similar conditions. E.g., every morning when you wake up, or every night before going to bed.
How many users does BPM support?
BPM supports one Guest and 3 configurable users.
Should I turn off my BodiMetrics Performance Monitor (BPM) after use?
Generally speaking, there is no need to turn off BPM after use. When there is no operation for 2 minutes, BPM will automatically enter a Standby / Calendar mode, which works with ultra-low power consumption. In this mode, BPM displays the data and time. If you already set reminder event(s), BPM can also be used as an alarm clock. If you do want to turn off the device, then press the Home button and hold for 5 seconds.

Syncing allows you to review your historic data and share it with others.
Tracking & Accuracy
Why the temperature reading measured by BPM is different from what I measured from an infrared ear thermometer?
The temperature varies in different part of your body. Even for a healthy person, the temperature difference among different positions could be between 0.2 to 1 °F. Usually, the infrared ear thermometer gives a near-core temperature reading, while BPM gives a reading which is equivalent to the axillary temperature.
Why I cannot get the SBP reading when a Body Check is performed?
This may happen when there is interference during the measurement. Make sure that you follow the instructions correctly in the Quick User Guide. Also, the “Guest” user cannot get a BP reading.
Why the device shows that BP calibration failed?
The BP calibration process requires to measure your blood pressure twice. When the difference of systolic blood pressure between two measurements are too big, the BP calibration will fail. Please wait for a few minutes and then try again.
Quick Tips:
Pick up your Performance Monitor and select <Body Check> on the first menu screen; follow the on screen instructions and hold device as shown below. Note do not forget to place one of the fingers on your RIGHT hand on the silver sensor on the back of device.
How often should I perform BP (re)calibration?
Please refer to the Quick Start Guide for details. To ensure a high quality calibration, it is recommended that the BP calibration is made with the help of healthcare professional, by using auscultation to get an accurate blood pressure reading from the external BP meter (not included).
Should BP calibration be made for each user?
Yes. For each individual, the algorithm that computes BP uses factors such as height, weight and numerus artefacts within the waveform. Like a fingerprint, these are unique to each individual. So the BP calibration must be performed for each user.
How to perform a Blood Pressure calibration?
To get blood pressure readings, this device should be calibrated by a you or your doctor with a traditional arm or wrist cuff blood pressure meter (not included). Blood pressure (BP) varies by individual so each User must complete his/her own calibration before using the Performance Monitor <Body Check> function to measure or track your blood pressure. The calibration should be performed when the user is calmly sitting down.
To calibrate your Performance Monitor with an arm or wrist-cuff BP meter, follow these steps.
NOTE: For initial Set Up, please create a <User Name> under <Settings> on the Second Menu Screen of your Performance Monitor BEFORE beginning the BP calibration of your device.
1. First, take your Blood Pressure using an arm band or cuff-based Blood Pressure Monitor (not included) while seated and relaxed. Please write down the reading you displayed on your external Blood Pressure monitor. The Systolic Blood Pressure number is the important number you will need to complete the calibration process on your Performance Monitor.
2. Pick up the Performance Monitor monitor, press Home button to enter Main Screen. Tap the moving arrow on the right to see the Second Screen, and press 
icon to select.
3. Next, arrow down using the arrow icon on right side of screen and select <SBP Calibration> and then select your <User Name>.
4. With the cuff on your LEFT arm or wrist ensure that the cuff monitor is at heart level as your heart – then START the blood pressure measurement from your arm or cuff BP meter.
5. Now Press anywhere on the 1st calibration screen shown above.
6. At this screen, hold your Performance Monitor in the “Body Check” position with one hand placed on left-side sensor, thumb on front circle sensor, index finger in door on top, and a finger on the rear sensor (back right side). Note do not forget to place one of the fingers on your RIGHT hand on the silver sensor on the back of device.
7. Once you complete the FIRST calibration, the Performance Monitor will request you enter the Systolic Blood Pressure number (TOP NUMBER ON YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR). Please enter the number using the Performance Monitor screen keypad, and press OK.
8. Repeat the process for a 2nd Calibration by following the instructions above and once you enter your Systolic Blood Pressure the SECOND time your Performance Monitor will display “Calibration Successful”
9. Should the BP Calibration fail, please turn off your Performance Monitor by holding down the blue-gray Home button.
10. Turn your Performance Monitor back on by holding down the Home button again and repeat steps above.
Can BPM replace a traditional blood pressure meter?
No traditional blood pressure meters take both systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings. BPM cannot fully replace a traditional blood pressure meter. However, after calibration, BPM offers a more convenient way to track your blood pressure anywhere and anytime.
What conditions may cause inaccurate measurements in measuring SpO2/blood oxygen?
The common conditions includes:
- Poor blood circulation; Generally speaking, for people with poor blood circulation, one of the indications is, the finger is cold to the touch. In this case, you can rub your finger to increase the circulation, or warm up your finger.
- Nail polish, and/or artificial nails;
- Flickering or very bright light shining inside the SpO2 sensor.
What are the advantages of BPM ECG function?
BPM uses 500Hz sampling rate to capture a high quality ECG waveform; BPM uses wide band width equivalent to medical-grade patient monitors used in hospitals.
Why is the ECG waveform not clear and sometimes not stable?
The small sawtooth waveform are noises generated by muscle electricity, movement and/or poor conductivity. To minimize noises, please:
- Sit down, keep calm and relax.
- Put hands on table or thigh to relax arms.
- Hold the device gently and steadily, make sure that your finger and palm have a stabilizing contact with ECG electrodes.
- Moisten fingers and/or palm to improve conductivity when necessary. Dry skin or thick stratum corneum affects conductivity.
