Description
The Rossmax Z5 PARR Blood Pressure Monitor uses Pulse Arrhythmia (PARR) technology that specifically detects the existence of Arrhythmia (ARR), Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) and Premature Contraction (PC). The monitor has Bluetooth low energy Technology, movement detection and hypertension risk indications and cuff detection. A latex-free patented universal cone arm cuff accompanies this monitor.
The Rossmax Z5 PARR Blood Pressure Monitor has two memory zones which can each store up to 60 measurements. The screen can display a 7 day AM/PM average readings the average of the last 3 measurements stored, and the last previously stored measurement. It also has a guest mode, a large LCD size ( 69 x 64.4mm) and a five year warranty with lifetime calibration.
All saved readings on the device can be transferred to the Rossmax Healthstyle App using Bluetooth after successfully completing the pairing process. The device is rechargeable with a USB type C port.
The Rossmax Z5 PARR Blood Pressure Monitor comes with the following:
- USB cable
- Latex-Free Patented Universal Cone Cuff (24 – 40cm or 9.4″- 15.7″)
- Instruction Manual
- Zipper bag
Uses
The Rossmax Z5 PARR Blood Pressure Monitor uses PARR technology to detect Arrhythmia (ARR), Atrial Fibrillation (AFib) and Premature Contraction (PC) during regular blood pressure checks without any additional user skills, user interaction and measurement prolongation. These cardiac disorders need medical attention, and thus early diagnosis is of paramount importance, and can prevent the risk of cardio disease and stroke.
Atrial Fibrillation Detection (AFib) – The upper chambers of the heart (the atria) beat irregularly (quiver) and mostly fast, instead of beating effectively to move blood into the ventricles. This condition is associated with a higher risk of cardiac blood clots, stroke, heart failure and other heart-related complications. About 10 – 20% of patients who suffer from an ischemic stroke also suffer from atrial fibrillation.
Premature Contraction Detection (PC) – Extra, abnormal heartbeats generated in abnormal locations of your heart, either in the atria (PAC), in the ventricles (PVC) or the cardiac conduction nodes (PNC). These extra beats disrupt your regular heart rhythm, sometimes causing palpitations (e.g. skipped beats) in your chest. It may occur singularly or repetitively with various incidence. If not stress-related, they are a sensitive marker for a multitude of cardiac disorders, and there is an elevated ischemic stroke risk with PC.
Application
Applying the Cuff Correctly
- Unwrap the arm cuff, leaving the end of the cuff through the D-ring of the cuff
- Put the left arm through the cuff loop. The colour strip indication should be positioned closer to the user, with the tube pointing in the direction of the arm
- Turn the left palm upward and place the edge of the arm cuff at approximately 1.5 to 2.5 cm above the inner side of the elbow joint
- Tighten the cuff by pulling the end of the cuff
- Centre the tube over the middle of the arm and press the hook and loop material together securely. Allow room for 2 fingers to fit between the cuff and the arm.
- Position the artery mark over the main artery (on the inside of the arm)
- Note: Locate the main artery by pressing with 2 fingers approximately 2 cm above the bend of your elbow on the inside of your left arm. Identify where the pulse can be felt the strongest – this is the main artery
- Plug in the cuff connecting tube into the unit
- Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same height as your heart. Make sure the tube is not kinked
- This cuff is suitable for use if the arrow falls within the solid colour line – If the arrow falls outside the solid colour line, a cuff with a wider circumference size is needed
Tips for obtaining an accurate reading
- Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant fluctuation throughout the day
- Blood pressure recording can be affected by the position of the user, his or her physiological condition and other factors. For greatest accuracy, wait one hour after exercising, bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure
- Before measurement, it’s suggested that you sit quietly for at least 5 minutes as measurement taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement.
- Do not take measurements if you are under stress or tension
- Sit upright in a chair and take 5-6 deep breaths. Avoid leaning back while the measurement is being taken
- Do not cross the legs while sitting and keep the feet flat on the floor during measurement
- During measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles
- Take your blood pressure at normal body temperature. If you are feeling cold or hot, wait a while before taking a measurement.
- If the monitor is stored at very low temperature (near freezing), have it placed at a warm location for at least one hour before using it
Using the Z5 Blood Pressure Monitor
- Press the User-Switching key to select memory zone 1, memory zone 2 or guest mode. After a memory zone is selected, press the ON/OFF/START key to reset the monitor so it can start measurement in the chosen memory zone
- Press the ON/OFF/START key
- All digits will light up, checking the display functions. The checking procedure will be completed in 2 seconds
- After all symbols appear, the display will show a blinking “0”. The monitor is ready to measure and will automatically inflate the cuff slowly to start measurement
- When the measurement is completed, the cuff will exhaust the pressure inside
- Systolic pressure, diastolic pressure and pulse will be shown simultaneously on the LCD screen. The measurement is then automatically stored into the pre-designated memory zone
- In order to enhance the probability of pulse arrhythmia detection by the PARR technology, measurement repetitions are recommended
- If Bluetooth has been activated, the data is automatically transferred to the App after successful completion of the pairing process, please see Data Transfer via Bluetooth section in the instruction manual for more details
- This blood pressure monitor will re-inflate automatically to higher pressure if the system detects that more pressure is needed to take a blood pressure measurement
- Note: This monitor automatically switches off approximately 1 minute after last key operation
- Note: To interrupt the measurement, simply press the ON/OFF/START key; the cuff will deflate immediately
