your arm still.
Do not move or talk while taking a measurement.
Wait at least 3 minutes before taking another measurement. This will allow
your blood circulation to recover.
When you take 3 measurements within 30 minutes, the device will display the
average of the 3 last measurements.
When you take a reading, you don't have to transfer the data into the app
right away. Synchronizing once a day or once a week is enough.
You can easily synchronize your readings by opening the app on your
smartphone. Enter the memory by pressing the button. Synchronizing will
start automatically.
Understanding the Results
Upon completing your measurement, the display will show your higher blood
pressure and lower blood pressure , your pulse rate , and the WHO blood
pressure indication . You will also see the date and time of your reading.
The will display If you have an irregular pulse rate (see Irregular pulse rate
section for more info).
Basic Info About Blood Pressure
Systolic pressure means that the ventricles contract and pump out blood,
increasing the blood pressure. This is sometimes referred to as the “higher
number.” Diastolic pressure means that the ventricles relax, causing the blood
pressure to decrease. This is sometimes referred to as the “lower number.”
What is the standard blood
pressure classification?
The blood pressure classification
published by the World Health Organiza-
tion (WHO) and the International Society
of Hypertension (ISH) in 1999 is as
follows:
Taking a Measurement
1. Breathe slowly 5 times, then press the button to begin the
measurement. Keep your arm still.
2. A flashing indicates that the cuff is detected. If it is correctly secured, it
changes to during the measurement.
3. The measured air pressure will calibrate to zero, and then the cuff will
inflate.
4. The actual measurement will start when the top blood pressure has been
reached.
5. The cuff will deflate slowly and finish when the lowest blood pressure has
been determined.
6. Now, the display will show the reading and save it in the memory.
7. If you use the app, the will blink to indicate that your reading is being
transferred into the app.
8. The will stop blinking after having successfully transmitted your reading.
9. If not all of your measurements have been transmitted into the app, the
will display.
10. After data transmission, the will disappear.
11. The device will switch off automatically after 60 seconds.
Please note
You can stop the device from taking a measurement at any time by
pressing the button.

Introduction
Thank you for choosing iProven. Please read the instructions carefully to use this
device accurately and safely.
The BPM-35 measures and records your blood pressure and pulse rate using the
Oscillometric method, which relies on pressure sensors for greater accuracy.
Unlike other devices that measure during cuff inflation, the BPM-35 uses a
descending algorithm to measure as the cuff deflates, closely mimicking the
auscultatory method used in medical settings.
This method may feel slightly different, enhancing your readings' accuracy, and
ensuring that you receive the most reliable health information.
The device can store up to 99 readings. If you use the device with the MedM app
on your smartphone, you can store unlimited measurements. It calculates an
average of the last three readings taken within 30 minutes, helping you monitor
your health and detect hypertension trends. It will display the last stored reading if
you didn't take 3 consecutive measurements.
The device is FDA-approved and includes a World Health Organization (WHO)
blood pressure indicator and a five-year warranty.
It is important to perform measurements in the way described in this manual.
Results may be invalid or inaccurate if performed in another way. Keep this
manual within reach for future reference, or visit www.iproven.com for the digital
version.

Before Using Your Device
Always use the same arm for measurements to get accurate results and the
best insight into your blood pressure pattern. The left arm is recommended due
to its better blood flow.
Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time(s) each day.
Do not operate the device in cold environments.
Avoid consuming hot drinks, caffeine, tobacco, food, and alcohol, and refrain
from strenuous exercises at least 30 minutes before taking your measure-
ment.
Empty your bladder before starting the
measurement.
Preparing the Measurement
Before taking a measurement, sit down and
relax for 3 minutes. This allows your blood
pressure to stabilize.
Remove all accessories from your wrist
and arm (bracelets, watches, etc.)
before strapping the cuff to your arm.
Roll up your sleeve to reveal the skin of
your upper arm, ensuring that the
sleeve isn’t too tight.
Hold your arm with your palm facing up,
and slide the cuff onto your upper arm
approximately one inch above the bend
in your elbow.
Position the tube off-center toward the
inner side of the arm in line with the
little finger. Or position the artery mark
on the cuff over the main artery.
Fasten the cuff to your arm tightly but
not painfully. There should be a
one-finger space between the cuff and
your skin.
Ensure that your arm is resting on a flat
surface, with your palm facing up.
Sit comfortably with your back straight
and supported.
Keep your feet flat on the floor, and do
not cross your legs.
The cuff on your arm should be placed at heart level.
Irregular Pulse Rate Detection
This device is equipped with irregular pulse rate detection. The algorithm of the
device compares the longest and shortest intervals of registered pulse waves
(the time interval) and calculates the standard deviation. If the differences in the
time intervals are more than 25%, you have an irregular pulse rate, and the
will appear on the display. If the device detects irregular pulse rate during
consecutive measurements and you are following the correct procedure, please
consult your doctor.
Changes in Blood Pressure
Many factors cause fluctuations in blood pressure, including weather, emotions,
stress, food, and physical activities. Bear in mind that measuring in clinical
settings tends to increase blood pressure, which is called the “white coat effect.”
Recalling Your Readings
Press the button to scroll your readings when the device is off. Press the
button again to go to your next record. This can help you to see if your levels
are improving.
Note: The most recent record is shown first. All other records are pushed back
one digit (e.g. 2 becomes 3, and so on), and the last record (99) is dropped
from the list.
If you measure three times in 30 minutes, the device will first display the
average of the three readings and then display each reading separately.
Alternatively, you can use the app to keep track of your results.
Deleting the Records
You can delete all results by following the steps below:
1. Enter the memory recall mode by pressing the button as described in
section [Recalling your readings].
2. Press and hold the button and button for 3 seconds, and the
display will show a blinking “dEL ALL”.
3. Use the button to switch between “dEL ALL” and “dEL no.” Press
and simultaneously to confirm the selection.
If “dEL ALL” is selected, it will delete all the current user's records. Several
seconds later, it will display “---.” If “dEL no” is selected, it will stop the deletion.

is qualified to diagnose and treat high blood pressure.
DO NOT apply the cuff on an arm that has an intravenous drip or a blood
transfusion attached.
DO NOT kink, fold, stretch, compress, or otherwise deform the tube during
measuring, as the cuff pressure might continuously increase, which could
prevent blood flow and result in injury.
Taking blood pressure measurements too frequently could disrupt blood
circulation and cause injuries.
DO NOT apply the cuff to areas on the patient where the skin is delicate or
damaged. Check the cuff site frequently for irritation.
DO NOT place the cuff on the arm of a person whose arteries or veins are
undergoing medical treatment, such as intra-vascular access, intra-vascular
therapy, or an arteriovenous (A-V) shunt, as this could disrupt blood
circulation and cause injuries.
DO NOT place the cuff on the arm on the same side of a mastectomy
(especially when lymph nodes have been removed). It is recommended to
take measurements on the unaffected side.
DO NOT wrap the cuff on the same arm to which another monitoring device
is applied. One or both devices could temporarily stop functioning if you try to
use them at the same time.
Please check (for example, by observing the limb concerned) that the
device's operation does not result in prolonged impairment of patient blood
circulation.
On the rare occasion of a fault causing the cuff to remain fully inflated during
measurement, loosen and remove the cuff immediately. Prolonged high
pressure applied to the arm (cuff pressure >300 mmHg or constant pressure
>15 mmHg for more than 3 minutes) might lead to bruising and discolored
