The basics
The On/Off button is located to the right of the display.
This is a round button with the power symbol. Simply tap on this
touch-sensitive button to turn your iCheck 7 On and Off.
When turning On, you will see a welcome screen first. When
this message disappears the device will be ready to use.
The graphic display shows numerical values for measurements, indications for user,
guidance system and error notifications, if any.
At the conclusion of the measurement the device will show a coloured heart.
Use the colour codes shown on Page 6 find out what the colour means.

Taking a blood pressure measurement

1. Sit down, relax, keep still, especially the arm being used for the measurement, do not move
or speak. For greatest accuracy, we recommend using the left wrist for the measurement.
2. Fit the monitor on your left wrist, roughly 1 (one) cm
below the palm line (see Fig. 1 for correct placement).
DO NOT ATTACH LIKE A WRIST WATCH. The device
should be on the inner side of your wrist. Secure the
cuff with the Velcro fastener, so that it is tight but
comfortable. There should not be a space between the
cuff and the wrist.
3. Press the On/Off button to start a measurement.
The graphic display will show the welcome screen
followed by the 'Easy Positioning System' . This is shown
as a moving dot within a white circle.
4
300 measurements.
4. The 'Easy Positioning System' helps to ensure
the arm is in the correct position. Simply move
your arm up and down until the white dot stays
inside the circle (see Fig. 2). This means that the
iCheck 7 is now level with your heart.
5. The measurement starts automatically once
the correct position has been obtained . Do not
move or speak while the measurement is in
progress.
Note: If it is necessary to interrupt a
measurement, press the On/Off button
any time. The device immediately cancels the
measurement, lowers cuff pressure and turns
itself off.
Understanding your reading
Once the measurement is complete, the instant read 'heart' symbol will illuminate.The 'meaning'
of the colour can be found in the table on Page 6. The graphic display will show the numerical
values of your blood pressure readings.
SYS: shows the systolic blood pressure in mmHg
DIA: shows the diastolic blood pressure in mmHg
PUL: shows the pulse - heart beats per minute
This symbol at the right-hand side of pulse reading
indicates a regular heartbeat.
This symbol at the right-hand side of pulse reading indicates that pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. This irregular heartbeat can be caused simply by talking,
moving or shaking during a measurement. In this case, the result may deviate from your
normal basal blood pressure – repeat the measurement. Normally this is not cause for
concern. However if the symbol appears frequently, and these guidelines are strictly followed,
you should seek medical advice.
