The Samsung Health Monitor app calibrates and measures blood pressure based
on the readings from the arm that is wearing the blood pressure manometer.
You must consult your physician if there is a large difference between the blood
pressure in both of your arms (more than 10 mmHg).
•
Do not use a Watch which has been calibrated for other people for measuring
your blood pressure.
•
The measurable reading range of the Samsung Health Monitor app for blood
pressure is as follows: In case of calibration, the systolic blood pressure range
is 80 mmHg to 170 mmHg, and the diastolic blood pressure is 50 mmHg to
110 mmHg. In case of measurement, the systolic blood pressure range is
70 mmHg to 180 mmHg, and the diastolic blood pressure is 40 mmHg to
120 mmHg.
•
The signal may be affected by the brightness of the individual’s skin, the amount
of blood under their skin, and the cleanliness of the sensor.
Precautions for measuring the ECG
•
Make sure your wrist is not too dry when measuring your ECG. You can get more
accurate ECG signals when your skin that comes in contact with the sensor is
moist with a moderate amount of sweat, toner, or lotion.
•
Do not measure your ECG if you have an implanted cardiac pacemaker,
defibrillator, or if any other electronic device is inside of your body.
•
Do not take your ECG with the Samsung Health Monitor app if you have an
arrhythmia other than atrial fibrillation.
•
The Samsung Health Monitor app cannot detect heart attacks. If you have
any suspicious symptoms of a heart attack, contact emergency services
immediately.
•
You can get more accurate ECG results if you follow the following measurement
conditions:
‒
Measuring after removing metal objects from your body, such as necklace
‒
Using the band included with the Watch instead of a metallic band
