Care Touch Platinum Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
General Description
- Thank you for selecting the CARE TOUCH Fully Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor (PSW01). The monitor features blood pressure measurement, pulse rate measurement, and result storage. The design provides you with two years of reliable service. Readings taken by the PSW01 are equivalent to those obtained by a trained observer using the cuff and stethoscope auscultation method.
- This manual contains important safety and care information and provides step-by-step instructions for using the product. Read the manual thoroughly before using the product
Features:
- Systolic blood pressure
- Diastolic blood pressure
- Pulse rate
- Historic record of up to 60 measurements
Indications for Use
- The Blood Pressure Monitor is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and heartbeat rate with wrist circumference ranging from 13.5cm to 21.5 cm ( about 5⅓˝-8½˝ ). It is intended for adult indoor use only
Measurement Principle
- This product uses the Oscillometric Measuring Method to detect blood pressure. Before every measurement, the unit establishes a “zero point” equivalent to the
atmospheric pressure. Then it starts inflating the cuff. Meanwhile, the unit detects pressure oscillations generated by beat-to-beat pulsatile, which is used to determine the systolic pressure and diastolic pressure as well as pulse rate. The device also compares the longest and the shortest intervals of detected pulse
wave to with the average value, and then calculates the standard deviation. The monitor will light up a warning symbol when the calculated standard deviation is larger than or equal to 25%.
CAUTION
- This device is intended for adult use only. This device is intended for non-invasive measuring and monitoring of arterial blood pressure. It is not intended for use on extremities other than the wrist or for functions other than obtaining a blood pressure measurement.
- Do not confuse self-monitoring with self-diagnosis. This unit allows you to monitor your blood pressure.Do not begin or end medical treatment without asking a physician for treatment advice.
- If you are taking medication, consult your physician to determine the most appropriate time to measure your blood pressure. Never change a prescribed medication without consulting your physician.
- If the cuff pressure exceeds 40 kPa (300 mmHg), the unit will automatically deflate. Should the cuff not deflate when pressures exceed 40 kPa (300 mmHg), detach the cuff from the wrist and press the START/STOP button to stop inflation.
- To avoid measurement errors, carefully read this manual before using the product. The equipment is not AP/APG equipment and not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable anesthetic mixture with air of oxygen or nitrous oxide.
- The operator shall not touch the output of the batteries and the patient simultaneously. Do not use the monitor under the conditions of a strong electromagnetic field (e.g. medical RF equipment that radiates an interference signal or an electrical fast transient / burst signal.
- The user must check that the equipment functions safely and see that it is in proper working condition before being used. Please use ACCESSORIES and detachable parts specified/ authorised by MANUFACTURE. Otherwise, it may cause damage to the unit or danger to the user/patients

BEFORE YOU START
Installing and Replacing the Batteries
- Open the battery cover.
- Install the batteries by matching the correct polarity, as shown below. Always use the correct battery type (2×AAA batteries).
- Replace the cover.
- Replace the batteries whenever the below happens
- The

- The display dims
- The display does not light up
Setting Date, Time, and Measurement Unit
- It is important to set the clock before using your blood pressure monitor, so that a time stamp can be assigned to each record that is stored in the memory. (year: 2010 —2050, time format: 2 4 H /12 H)
- When the monitor is off, press the SET button, and it will display the time. Then hold pressing “SET” for 3 seconds to enter the mode for the year setting
- Press the “MEM” to change the [YEAR].
- When you get the right year, press “SET” to set down and turn to the next step.
Tie the Cuff
- Remove all accessories (watch, bracelet, etc) from your wrist. If your physician has diagnosed you with poor circulation in your wrist, use the other one.
- Roll or push up your sleeve to expose the skin.
- Apply the cuff to your wrist with your palm facing up.
- Position the edge of the cuff about 1-1.5cm.
- Fasten the wrist cuff around your wrist, leaving no extra room between the cuff and your skin. If the cuff is too loose, the measurement will not be accurate.
- Rest for 5 minutes before measuring.
- Wait at least 3 minutes between measurements. This allows your blood circulation to recover.
For a meaningful comparison, try to measure under similar conditions. For example, take daily measurements at approximately the same time, on the same wrist or as directed by a physician.
MEASUREMENT

INFORMATION FOR USER
Tips for Measurement
- Measurements may be inaccurate if taken in the following circumstances.
Maintenance
- In order to get the best performance, please follow the instructions below.
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What are systolic pressure and diastolic pressure?
- When ventricles contract and pump blood out of the heart, blood pressure reaches its maximum value, the highest pressure in the cycle is known as systolic pressure. When the heart relaxes between heartbeats, the lowest blood pressure is the diastolic pressure.
What is the standard blood pressure classification?
- The chart on the right is the standard blood pressure classification published by the American Heart Association (AHA).
Blood Pressure Category Systolic mmHg (upper#)
Diastolic mmHg (lower#) Normal
less than 120
and
less than 80
Prehypertension 120-139 or 80-89 High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 1 140-159
or
90-99
High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 2 160 or higher
or 100 or higher
Hypertensive Crisis (Emergency care needed) Higher than 180
or
Higher than 110
ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
Why do I get a different blood pressure at home compared to the hospital?
- The blood pressure is different even throughout the day due to weather, emotion, exercise etc, Also, there is the “white coat” effect, which means blood pressure
Usually increases in clinical settings.
