IC Sciences TMB-1018-BT User Manual - page 3
Thank you for selecting the IC Sciences Blood Pressure Arm Monitor (TMB-1018-BT).
The monitor features blood pressure measurement, pulse rate measurement and
the data storage. The design provides you with two years of storage.
Readings taken by the TMB-1018-BT 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
instruction for using the product.
Read the manual thoroughly before using the product.
Features:
Blue LCD display with white backlight
Up to 60 pieces of recorded data stored for each user
Measuring While Inflating (MWI) technology
Bluetooth data transmitting function
This product uses the Oscillometric Measuring method to detect blood pressure.
Before every measurement, the unit establishes a “zero pressure” equivalent to
the air pressure.Then it starts inflating the arm cuff; meanwhile, the unit detects
pressure oscillations generated by beat-to-beat pulsatile, which is used to determine
the systolic and diastolic pressure and pulse rate.The device also compares
the longest and the shortest time intervals of detected pulse waves to mean time
interval then calculates standard deviation.The device will display a warning signal
with the reading to indicate the detection of irregular heartbeat when the difference
of the time intervals over.

This device is intended for adult use in the home/domestic 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 upper arm 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 start or end medical treatment without a physician’s consent.
If you are taking medication, consult your physician to determine the most appropriate time for your
measurement. Never change a prescribed medication without your physician’s consent.
This unit is not suitable for continuous monitoring during medical emergencies or operations.
If the pressure of the cuff exceeds 40 kPa (300 mmHg), the unit will automatically deflate. Should the
cuff not deflate when its pressure exceeds 40 kPa (300 mmHg), detach the cuff from the upper arm
and press the homologous button to stop inflation.
Please read this user manual carefully and thoroughly before use.
The device is not AP/APG equipment. It is not suitable for use in the presence of a flammable
anesthetic mixture with air (or oxygen, nitrous oxide).
Do not touch the output of batteries and the patient simultaneously.
Do not use the monitor under the conditions of strong electromagnetic field (e.g. mobile) that radiates
interference signal or electrical fast transient / burst signal, especially when the AC adaptor is applied.
Please keep the unit out of reach of infants or children, since inhalation or swallowing of small parts
is dangerous or even fatal.
CAUTION
Please use ACCESSORIES and detachable parts specified / authorised by IC Sciences.
Otherwise, it may cause damage to the unit or danger to the user / patient.
The materials of the cuff have been tested and found to comply with requirements of ISO 10993-5:
2009 and ISO 10993-10:2010. It will not cause any potential alergic reaction or contact injury.
Please make sure the unit functions safely and it is in proper working conditions before use.
