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 BP 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).

To  get  blood pressure  readings,  this  device  should  be calibrated  by  a you or your doctor  with  a  traditional  cuff  blood  pressure  (BP)  meter.  Because  of individual  differences,  each   user  must  make  his/her   own  calibration before  using <Body  Check>  to measure  or  track your blood  pressure.  The calibration should be performed when the user is under calm and sitting down.

To calibrate with a cuff BP meter, follow the steps as below.

NOTE: For initial Set Up, please create a <User Name> under <Settings> on the Second Screen BEFORE calibrating your device for blood pressure.

1. Put on a traditional Blood Pressure arm band or cuff on your LEFT arm or wrist and sit down and relax.
2. Pick  up the  Performance Monitor  monitor,  press Home  button  to  enter  Main Screen.  Swipe the main screen to the left to see the Second Screen and press <Settings> icon to select.
3. Next, arrow down using the arrow icon on right side of screen and select <BP 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
6. 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.
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 and press Enter.
8. Repeat the process 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 key 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:

  1. 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.
  2. Nail polish, and/or artificial nails;
  3. Flickering or very bright light shining inside the SpO2 sensor.

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:

  1. Sit down, keep calm and relax.
  2. Put hands on table or thigh to relax arms.
  3. Hold the device gently and steadily, make sure that your finger and palm have a stabilizing contact with ECG electrodes.
  4. Moisten fingers and/or palm to improve conductivity when necessary. Dry skin or thick stratum corneum affects conductivity.
