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

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

Start the Measurement

When the monitor is off, press the START/STOP button to turn on the monitor, and it will finish the whole measurement
- LCD display
- Adjust the zero.
- Inflating and measuring.
- Display and save the result.
Press the START/STOP to power off, otherwise, it will turn on within 1 minute.

DATA MANAGEMENT

Delete the Records

In the memory mode, hold down the “MEM” button for 3 seconds, and the flash display will show
Press “SET” to confirm deletion, and the monitor will turn off.

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

80-89

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 1

140-159

90-99

High Blood Pressure (Hypertension) Stage 2

160 or higher

100 or higher

Hypertensive Crisis (Emergency care needed)

Higher than 180

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.
