Intended Use
- HL858CE automatically measures a human’s Systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate by using the oscillometric method during inflation. All values can be read out in one LCD panel. The measurement position is at the human being’s upper arm. The intended use of this over-the-counter device is for adults aged 18 years and older with arm circumference ranging from 9 inches to 17 inches (approx.23 cm to 43 cm) and for home use.
- HL858CE detects the appearance of irregular heartbeats during measurement; an indicated symbol will appear with measuring reading. And the Risk Category Indicator will show the information with the readings on the screen for the user tracking their blood pressure level.
- Besides, the device features a built-in “Bluetooth Data Transmission” function, which enables the device automatically transmit measuring results to paired Bluetooth-enabled device. Also, users could simply synchronize the current date and time, and check the battery status of blood pressure monitor by means of DailyChek® application software with the paired Bluetooth-enabled device
About Blood Pressure
1. What is blood pressure?
- Blood pressure is the measurement of the force of blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly fluctuating during the course of the cardiac cycle. The highest pressure in the cycle is called the systolic blood pressure, and represents the pressure in the artery when the heart is beating. The lowest pressure is the diastolic blood pressure, and represents the pressure in the artery when the heart is at rest. Both the systolic and the diastolic pressure are necessary for a physician to evaluate the status of a patient’s blood pressure.
- Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety or the time of day, can influence your blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in the mornings and increases from the afternoon to the evening. It is on average lower in the summer and higher in the winter.
2. Why is it useful to measure blood pressure at home?
- Having one’s blood pressure measured by a doctor in a hospital or a clinic is often associated with an event called “White Coat Hypertension” where the patient becomes nervous or anxious, thus raising his blood pressure. There are also numerous other factors that might cause your blood pressure to be raised at a specific time of day. This is why medical physicians recommend home monitoring as it is important to get readings of blood pressure during different times of the day to really get an idea of your real blood pressure.
- Medical physicians generally recommend the “Rule of 3”, where you are encouraged to take your blood pressure three times in a row (at 3 ~ 5-minute intervals), three times a day for three days. After three days you can average all the results and this will give you an accurate idea of what your blood pressure really is.
A. AHA blood pressure classifications
- Standards for assessment of high or low blood pressure without regard to age, have been established by the American Heart Association (AHA 2017), as shown in the chart.
- However, this chart is not exact for the classification of blood pressure and it’s intended to be used as a guide in understanding non-invasive blood pressure measurements. Please consult with your physician for proper diagnosis.
B. Variations in blood pressure
- Individual blood pressures vary greatly both on a daily and a seasonal basis. These variations are even more pronounced in hypertense patients. Normally the blood pressure rises while at work and is at its lowest during the sleeping period. (hyper tense: means a person who has high blood pressure symptoms.) The graph below illustrates the variations in blood pressure over a whole day with measurements taken every five minutes. The thick line represents sleep. The rise in blood pressure at 4 PM (A in the graph) and 12 PM (B in the graph) correspond to an attack of pain
- (Direct arterial pressure recording in unrestricted man. Beven, Honour & Stott: Clin. Sci. 36:329. 1969)
Measurement Method
- HL858CE Automatic Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor measures blood pressure and heart rate by oscillometric method, meaning the fluctuations in pressure are measured. Once the cuff is wrapped around your upper arm, just turn on the monitor and inflation automatically starts. The inflation of the cuff creates pressure around the arteries inside the upper arm.
- Within the cuff is a gauge that senses the fluctuations (oscillations) in pressure. The fluctuation measured represents the degree of intensity that your arteries contract with each heartbeat, and also a result of the pressure that the cuff has placed on the upper arm. The monitor measures these contractions and converts the information to a digital value. This is the result displayed on the monitor screen. Once the measurement is complete, the cuff will automatically deflate.
- Note
- The patient is an intended operator.
- The applied part is the cuff
Accuracy
- HL858CE Automatic Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor has been clinically tested against a scientific device called mercury sphygmomanometer considered the gold standard in blood pressure measurement.
- All HL858CE Automatic Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors have performed equivalent to measurements taken with this scientific device and are within the accuracy limits prescribed by the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers. The SPHYGMOMANOMETER was clinically investigated according to the requirements of ISO 81060-2:2013.
- We suggest our users have their blood pressure monitor checked every 2 years. This operation should only be performed by the Manufacturer or by authorized representatives.

Features
Risk Category Indicator (AHA 2017)
- This device is equipped with a Risk Category Indicator that classifies your blood pressure measurements into five stages (Normal, Elevated, Hypertension stage 1, Hypertension stage 2, and Hypertensive crisis) based on the blood pressure standards established by the American Heart Association (AHA). Besides, for your and your loved ones health, we further classify the five stages into numeral ranges, which sort out hypertension symptoms more clearly. Moreover, to your convenience and readability, we use three corresponding colors to represent your measuring result. Refer to below comparison chart for details
- After measurement, LCD displays the systolic and diastolic pressure, heart rate, date and time along with Risk Category Indicator bar. The higher the blood pressure, the higher the bar. Compare the bar with the three colors at the left of LCD display to know the classification of your blood pressure based on the American Heart Association standard (AHA 2017).
Note
- When a person’s systolic and diastolic pressures fall into different categories, the higher category should apply.
- e.g. systolic rate 181 & diastolic rate 99 Red category (Hypertensive crisis)
- e.g. systolic rate 110 & diastolic rate 95 Red category (Hypertension stage 2)
Note
- The above table is not exact for the classification of blood pressure and it’s intended to be used as a guide in understanding non-invasive blood pressure measurements. Usually, this is not a cause for concern; however, we recommend you consult with your physician for proper diagnosis or seek medical advice according to our recommendation mentioned above. Please note that the device is not appropriate to diagnose hypertension, and it is only for user reference on blood pressure monitoring
Advanced Average Function
- The Advanced Average Function automatically takes and averages 3 readings in a row, with 1-minute rest intervals in between each measurement. To deactivate this feature and take only a single reading, slide the switch on the back to the OFF position
Irregular Heartbeat Detector
- The symbol will appear on screen indicating a certain heartbeat irregularity was detected during measurement. The heartbeat rhythm that is more than or less than 25% from the average rhythm is usually defined as an irregular heartbeat rhythm. Talking, moving, shaking or an irregular pulse during the measurement can result in the appearance of this symbol. Usually this is not a cause for concern, however if the symbol appears often, we recommend you seek medical advice. And please note that the device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
Bluetooth Data Transmission
- HL858CE features a built-in “Bluetooth Data Transmission” function, which enables the device to automatically transmit measuring results to paired
Bluetooth-enabled device after measurement. When a connection is established, BPM would transmit memory data such as Measure Date, Systolic, Diastolic and Pulse to the Bluetooth-enabled device. - If the paired Bluetooth-enabled device is not working or is not within RF range of this device, the measuring results will be stored in the blood pressure monitor’s memory. Besides, the user can press Bluetooth button for one time to open the Bluetooth function. Bluetooth compatibility with blood pressure monitors for Bluetooth-enabled devices is:
