Philips DL8760/15 - Manual (Page 7)

- For a meaningful comparison, try to measure
under similar conditions. For example, take
daily measurements at approximately the same
time, on the same arm, or as directed by your
doctor.
- For a good Bluetooth connection between the
blood pressure monitor and your mobile
device, make sure the two are in close distance
and there are no obstacles between the two
devices. We recommend not to have the two
devices further than 5 meters apart.
We do not advise you to take a
measurement under the following circumstances,
as this may cause inaccurate measurements:
- Within 1 hour after eating or drinking
- Immediately after smoking
- Within 20 minutes after taking a bath
- While you are talking or moving your arm, hand
or fingers
- In a very cold environment
- When you need to urinate
Attaching the cuff
1 Remove all jewelry, such as watches and
bracelets from your left arm.
Note: If your doctor has diagnosed you with
poor circulation in your left arm, use your right
arm.
2 Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the
skin. Make sure your sleeve is not too tight.
3 Hold your arm with your palm facing up and
slide the cuff onto your left upper arm (Fig. 10).
4 Position the lower edge of the cuff about 2-3cm
above the crease of the elbow.
5 Fasten the cuff around your arm, leaving no
extra room between the cuff and your skin. If
the cuff is too loose, the measurement will not
be accurate.
-
The cuff will not cause any potential
sensitization or irritation of the skin. The
materials of the cuff have been tested and
found to comply with requirements of ISO
10993-5:2009, ISO 10993-1:2009 and ISO
10993-10:2010.
6 Correct posture for measurement:
-
Make sure you do not wear tight clothing
during measurement.
-
Sit comfortably with legs uncrossed, feet flat
on the floor. Make sure that you sit upright
with your back straight.
-
The center of the cuff should be at the same
level as the heart.
-
Relax your wrist and hand. Do not bend your
wrist back, clench your fist, or bend your
wrist forward.
Start measurement
1 Press the user ID button (Fig. 11) or 'on' button
(Fig. 12) once, to switch on the device. The
device automatically selects the previous user.
-
To change the user profile, press the user
ID button (Fig. 11) and select a different user
(Fig. 13). Make sure the correct user is
selected, so the measurement data is
properly transmitted and stored. It is not
possible to change a user profile after a
measurement.
-
When the health app is open, the app
automatically selects the correct user profile.
In this case, the user profile can be changed
by either closing the app and reopening it
again with the correct user profile, or by
closing the app and using the user ID button.
-
Also a guest user can be selected. The guest
user is for performing a measurement on
other persons without a user profile in the
health app. Measurements performed when
using the guest user are not stored in the
memory nor transmitted to the app.
2 Attach the cuff to your arm (see 'Attaching the
cuff') and make sure your posture is correct (see
'Tips for proper measurement').
3 Press the 'on' button to start the measurement
(Fig. 12). All display characters are briefly shown
on the display (Fig. 14). The device is ready for
measurement and the number 0 appears (Fig.
15). Inflation of the cuff starts automatically.
-
During inflation, the unit determines the
systolic pressure and diastolic pressure as
well as heart rate. This is shown by the
heart rate detection symbol.
-
The movement detector will light up when
movement is detected. This may result in
inaccurate measurement results.
4 When the measurement is finalized, the cuff
deflates and the measurement results are
shown on the display (Fig. 16). To transmit the
measurement results to the app, see section
'Transmit and store personal health data in the
app'.
5 Press the 'on' button to switch off the device.
Note: after 1 minute, the device will turn off
automatically
If, after finishing the first measurement, another
measurement is required, press the user ID button
to select the correct user profile and follow steps
2-7.
Note: Wait at least 3 minutes between
measurements. This allows your blood circulation
to recover.
The device can store results of 60 blood pressure
measurements for both user 1 and 2.
Transmit and store personal health data
in the app
Note: Your personal measurement data is only
stored and displayed in the Philips HealthSuite
health app.
1
Activate the Philips HealthSuite health app and
Bluetooth on your mobile device directly after a
measurement.
-
Keep the mobile device and the blood
pressure monitor at transmission distance
(no more than 5 meters from each other, in
the same room).
2 Once successfully connected, the measurement
results are being transmitted to the health app
and the Bluetooth symbol lights up.
