KEEP THESE INSTRUCTIONS
BEFORE YOU BEGIN
INTENDED USE
The 3160A-3 system is a system designed to measure the systolic and diastolic blood
pressure and pulse rate by using a non-invasive technique in which an inflatable cuff is
wrapped on the upper arm. It is intended for individuals age 18 and above for use at home
and in clinical settings. The device is not to be used for the diagnosis of hypertension or for
testing on newborns.
TEST PRINCIPLE
Blood pressure is measured non-invasively at the upper arm based on oscillometric
method. If you have been diagnosed with a severe arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, atrial
or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation, measurements made with this
instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with the doctor or your healthcare
professionals.
Electromagnetic interference
The device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electromagnetic fields
in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile phones, microwave ovens. Electrical
interference can lead to temporary impairment of the measuring accuracy).
MONITOR OVERVIEW
Device
3160 offers a wide range fan-type cuff, measuring size :
22~38cm, suitable for most of arm circumferences;
Large cuff (measuring range 32~42cm) is available as
special accessories.
Do not use accessories or equipment which are
not certified by manufacturer, they might increase
emissions or decrease immunity of this system.
DISPLAY SCREEN
ADVANTAGES OF AUTOMATIC BLOOD PRESSURE
MONITOR
Blood Pressure Rate Indicator.
Blood pressure rate indicator is located along the left side in the display. The classification
corresponds to ESH (European Society of Hypertension) ranges described in the table of
the section «7.1. reference values».
After the measurement, there appears the color bars in the left part of the display: green
zone - optimal blood pressure, yellow - elevated, orange - too high, red – dangerously
high. This function helps you to self-orient in the measurement results.
CAM technology – Clinically Accurate Measurement
CAM Technology - Clinically Accurate Measurement - provides you with the maximally
accurate results of blood pressure measurement at home. Cardiologists recommend
always take several repeated measurements and calculate their average values. The device
in the CAM mode automatically takes 2 measurements in succession, analyzes the results
and displays the ready values.
Irregular Heartbeat Detection Advanced
I
HB advanced is an oscillometric waveform technology which is more sensitive, but not
specific, to identify varying rhythm symptom such as skipped heartbeats, abnormally
rapid (Tachycardia), or slow (Bradycardia) pulse and Atrial Fibrillation occurring during the
measurement, while regular IHB (Irregular Heart Beat) feature in the market is to detect a
condition where the heartbeat rhythm varies by more than certain percentage from the
average heartbeat detected during the measurement, If the symbol of IHB advanced
appears on the display that means that certain abnormality in heart beat frequency was
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may deviate from your normal
blood pressure – repeat the measurement. In most cases, this is no cause for concern.
However, if the symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with
measurements taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation :
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the Irregular Heartbeat
Detector This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The instrument is clinically tested.
The symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse irregularities occur during
measurement. If the symbol appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week
on measurements performed daily) we recommend the patient to seek medical 10
advice. The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect
pulse irregularities at an early stage.
SETTING THE MONITOR
Before using your monitor for the first time, check and update these settings. Make sure
you complete the steps below and save the desired settings.
INSERT BATTERIES

replaced.
USER NUMBER SELECTION.
This 3160 Series system supports measurement for two users. Before
measurement, make sure you set the unit for the intended user: device
in standby status, hold START then M/SET button, till user icon switches
to another one.
TESTING YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE
BEFORE MEASUREMENT
• Avoid caffeine, tea, alcohol and tobacco for at least 30 minutes before measurement.
• Wait 30 minutes after exercising or bathing before measurement.
• Sit or lie down for at least 10 minutes before measurement.
• Do not measure when feeling anxious or tense.
• Take a 5-10 minutes break between measurements. This break can be longer if necessary,
depending on your physical condition
• Keep the records for your doctor as reference.
• Blood pressure naturally varies between each arm. Always measure your blood pressure
on the same upper arm.
FITTING THE CUFF PROPERLY
a. Plug the cuff connector to the cuff socket on the device left side.
b. Assemble the cuff as shown below. The smooth surface should be inside of the cuff loop
and the metal D-ring should not touch your skin.
c. Stretch your left (right) arm in front of you with your
palm facing up. Slide and place the cuff onto your
arm to let the air tube and artery mark region toward
the lower arm. Wrap and tighten the cuff above your
elbow. The artery mark on the edge of the cuff should
be approx. 0.8" to 1.2" (2 cm to 3 cm) above your elbow.
Align the tube over the main arteries on the inside.
d.Leave a little free space between the arm and the cuff :
you should be able to fit two fingers between them.
Remove all clothing covering or constricting the
measurement arm.
e. Press the hook material firmly against the pile material.
The top and bottom edges of the cuff should be
tightened evenly around your upper arm.
PROPER MEASUREMENT POSITION
Sit down for at least 10 minutes before measuring.
a. Place your elbow on a flat surface. Relax your hand with
the palm facing up.
b. Make sure the cuff is about the same height as the location
of your heart.
c. Press the O/I button to switch on the monitor.
d. Remain still and do not talk or move during the measurement.
WARNING If the cuff is relatively lower (higher) than the heart, the obtained blood pressure
value could be higher (lower) than the actual value. A 15 cm difference in height may result
in an error around 10 mmHg.
TAKING MEASUREMENTS
TAKING A SINGLE MEASUREMENT
Always apply the pressure cuff before turning on the monitor.
a. Turn on the monitor by pressing the O/I button at the back side.
