iProven BPM-617 - User Manual

To Next Page

Thank you for choosing iProven. Please read the instructions

carefully in order to accurately and safely utilize this device.

The BPM-617 measures blood pressure and heart rate and saves the

results. It oﬀers real-time clinically accurate readings that are simple

and easy to read thanks to the Oscillometric Measuring method. This

method measures blood pressure while the cuﬀ is inﬂating thereby

oﬀering fast and accurate results. The inﬂation stops once

the maximum blood pressure measurement has been achieved.

This avoids any discomfort or excessive squeezing of the wrist.

Blood pressure measurements may be invalid or inaccurate if they are

not performed in accordance with the instructions provided in this

manual. Please keep this manual handy for future reference.

You can also ﬁnd the digital version on www.iproven.com

Intended use of the BPM

The BPM-617 is an upper arm digital monitor that is used for measuring

blood pressure and heart rate with an arm circumference ranging from

8 ¾” - 16 ½” (22cm to 42cm). The device is intended for home use and

adults only. The cuﬀ should be maintained at the same level as the

heart.

Special features

The BPM-617 comes with a user memory feature that can save up

to 250 measurements for two diﬀerent users (500 total), aside

from a guest mode. You can sync your device with the app, to store an

unlimited number of measurements. The device provides an average of

the last three readings taken within 30 minutes so that you can keep

track of your health and check for hypertension.

Upon completing a new measurement, it will also display your prior

measurement for an easy instant comparison of readings. The voice

broadcast mode (which can be switched on or oﬀ) makes it easy to

know your results without having to check the screen.

The large, 5.7” wide,

high-contrast monitor

screen and backlit dis-

play help read results

easily, even in the dark.

The device is FDA-ap-

proved and comes with

a WHO indicator and a

ﬁve-year warranty. It is

also one of the quieter

devices with a noise

level of less than 48dB.

Before using your device

For an accurate result and the best insight into your blood pressure pat-

tern, please measure using the same arm every time. It is recommended

to use the left arm which has a better blood ﬂow.

• Take your blood pressure at the same time(s) every day.

• Do not use the device in a cold environment.

• Avoid hot drinks, caﬀeine, tobacco, food, alcohol, and strenuous

exercises at least 30 minutes before taking your blood pressure.

• Empty your bladder before taking your measurement.

Preparing the measurement

Before a measurement sit down and relax for 3 minutes. Let your blood

pressure stabilize.

• Make sure you remove all accessories from the wrist and arm

(bracelets, watch, etc) before strapping the cuﬀ to your arm.

• Roll up your sleeve to reveal the skin of your upper arm and ensure

your 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 test 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.

Using the app

Our device works perfectly well even without an app. If you would

like to use it with the app, please follow the instructions in the insert

provided in the box.

Taking a measurement

1. Breathe slowly 5 times and press the START/STOP button to begin

the measurement. Keep your arm still.

2. First, the measured air pressure will calibrate to zero and then the

cuﬀ will inﬂate and start reading the blood pressure and heart rate.

3. The symbol should indicate OK meaning the cuﬀ is cor-

rectly secured. If the ﬂashes that means there’s too much

movement and you need to hold your arm still.

4. When the measurement has been completed, the results will appear

on the screen. The measurement is also saved in the memory.

5. Remove the cuﬀ and switch oﬀ the monitor.

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”. The diastolic pressure means that the ventricles

relax so the blood pressure decreases. This is sometimes referred to as

the “lower number”.

Irregular heartbeat

The device is equipped with irregular heartbeat detection, IHB. 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 heartbeat and the IHB sign: will appear on the display.

If the device detects irregular heartbeat during consecutive measure-

ments and you are following the correct procedure, please consult your

doctor.

Changes in blood pressure

There are many factors that cause ﬂuctuations in blood pressure.

Weather, emotions, stress, food, and physical activities, all these cause

variations in blood pressure. Bear in mind that measuring in clinical

settings tends to cause blood pressure to increase. This is called the

“white coat eﬀect”.

Using the memory function

Make sure that the date and time are set correctly.

(See “Setting up the device” section)

• Every measurement is automatically saved in the memory. It has

a maximum capacity of 500 (250 x 2 users) measurements. To

view the recorded data press the MEM button while the monitor

is inactive.

• Once the button is pressed, one of the user symbols starts blin-

king. To switch to the other user, press the SET button.

• It will display the average value of the last 3 records ﬁrst (if taken

within a 30-minute period) and indicated by the AVG symbol.

• Use the MEM and SET buttons to go through the previous records.

• Note: The most recent record is shown ﬁrst followed by the

previous measurements.

Deleting the records

If you want to delete one of your recorded measurements, follow these

steps:

1. Make sure the monitor is inactive; press the START/STOP button

to put it oﬀ if needed.

2. Press MEM to go to Memory. One of the user symbols will start

blinking.

3. To switch to the other user, press the SET button.

4. Use the MEM and SET buttons to ﬁnd the record you want to

delete.

5. Press and hold the START/STOP button for 3 seconds.

6. “DEL” will appear with “Y” blinking. Press the SET button to

conﬁrm.

7. If you don’t want to delete it, press the MEM button to get “NO”

and SET to conﬁrm.

8. “DONE” will appear, indicating that the selected stored data is

deleted.

In case you want to delete ALL of your recorded measurements for one

user, follow these steps:

1. When the device is in the memory function, select the user

whose records you want to delete and press the SET button for 3

seconds.

2. “DEL” will appear on the screen and “AL” will be blinking

3. Press the SET button to conﬁrm.

4. “DONE” will show meaning all the selected stored data for that
