PIC PULSE DETECTOR
Pic Pulse detector specifically detects the existence of pulse arrhythmia, including atrial fibrillation (AF, AFib), Atrial and / or
Ventricular Premature Contractions (PC). Pulse Arrhythmia may be related to cardiac disorders, needs medical attention and
thus early diagnosis is of paramount importance. The Pic Pulse detector detects arrhythmia during regular blood pressure
checks without any additional user skills, user interaction and measurement prolongation. Beside the blood pressure diagnosis
a specific pulse arrhythmia diagnosis is provided with Pic Pulse detector.
Note: The detection of AFib and PC is provided with a clinically proven high detection probability [1]. However, the sensitivity and
specificity is limited, thus most, but not all pulse arrhythmia will be detected and displayed. In certain patients with uncommon
clinical conditions the Pic Pulse detector may not be able to detect pulse arrhythmia. This partly comes from the fact that some
arrhythmia can only be found with an ECG diagnosis, but not with a pulse diagnosis. Thus the Pic Pulse detector is not meant
to replace any medical ECG diagnosis by your doctor. provides an early detection of certain pulse arrhythmia, which inevitably
need to be presented to your doctor in charge.
Remark: [1] Clinical Investigation of the Pic Pulse detector used in this device- A new Oscillometric Pulse Arrhythmia Type
Discriminating Detection Technology.
ATRIAL FIBRILLATION DETECTION (AFib)
The upper chambers of the heart (the atria) do not contract, but quiver and thus blood is driven irregularly and with lower
efficiency into the ventricles. Subsequently irregular heartbeats occurs, which mostly are associated with a fast, yet highly
instable heart rate. This condition is associated with a higher risk for the formation of cardiac blood clots. Amongst others,
they may elevate the risk of brain strokes. Beside this atrial fibrillation may contribute to the severity of a chronic or acute
heart failure condition and may be associated with other heart-related complications. Age dependent, about 10 % - 20 %
percent of patients who suffer from an ischemic stroke also suffer from atrial fibrillation. Atrial fibrillation most often initially
occurs with temporary periods of arrhythmia and may progress to a permanent state of this disorder in the course of time. No
matter, whether you intent to safeguard yourself from an undetected AFib state, or you measure during an ongoing period
of active atrial fibrillation, or you measure in between periods of AFib, the the Pic Pulse detector can be applied at any of
these conditions. This unit is able to detect Atrial fibrillation (AFib). The ARR and AFib icons (
) are displayed right after the
measurement if Atrial Fibrillation was detected. Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the
AFib icon occurs newly for several times, or, if your AFib is known to your doctor, but the incidence of AFib readings changes
over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures. Note: The
presence of a cardiac pacemaker may impair the AFib detection by the Pic Pulse detector.
PREMATURE CONTRACTION DETECTION (PC)
Extra abnormal heartbeats generated in irregular excitation sites of your heart, either in the atria (PAC), the ventricle (PVC) or
the cardiac conduction nodes (PNC). These extra beats may disrupt your regular rhythm, they may come in early or cause a
significant pauses regarding your perceivable pulse. This is called palpitations, which can be felt in your chest. They may occur
as isolated, single events, as a series of irregular pulses or can be distributed all over your pulse beats. If they are not related to
mental stress, or acute demanding physical load, they may be a marker for a multitude of cardiac disorders. Some of these di-
sorders go along with an elevated risk profile for ischemic events, either in the heart (e,g, coronary heart disease) or outside the
heart, e.g. an elevated risk for a stroke. Some PCs may indicate on valvular or myocardial disorders and become very important
if a myocarditis (infection of the heart muscle) is suspected. This unit is able to detect premature contractions (
and PC icons are displayed right after the measurement if premature contractions have been detected.
Note:It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the PC icon occurs newly for several times, or, if your
PC is known to your doctor, but the incidence of PC readings changes over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide all
required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.
PULSE ARRHYTHMIA DETECTION (ARR)
Once the occurrence of pulse arrhythmia has been detected in the course of your blood pressure measurement, the icon ARR is
displayed. In the case, that the found pulse arrhythmia can be specified by the Pic Pulse detector, the ARR icon is accompanied
by the specifically detected type of arrhythmia, e.g. PC or AFib. Once the kind of found pulse arrhythmia cannot be safely determi-
ned by this technology, the device is displaying ARR without any additional pulse arrhythmia type icon.
Note: It is strongly recommended, that you consult your physician, if either the ARR icon occurs newly for several times, or,
if your ARR is known to your doctor, but the incidence of ARR readings changes over time. This is independent whether
the ARR icon is specified by another pulse arrhythmia icon or not. Your doctor will then be able to provide all required
medical test and possible therapeutic procedures. The the Pic Pulse detector is able to detect and display combined
pulse arrhythmia findings.

REAL FUZZY MEASURING TECHNOLOGY
This unit uses the oscillometric method to detect your blood pressure. Before the cuff starts inflating, the device will establish a
baseline cuff pressure equivalent to the air pressure. This unit will automatically determine the appropriate inflation level based
on pressure oscillations, followed by cuff deflation. During the deflation, the device will detect the amplitude and slope of the
pressure oscillations and thereby determine your actual the systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate.

WHAT IS BLOOD PRESSURE?
Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the artery tube while blood flows through the arteries. The pressure measured when
the heart contracts and sends blood out of the heart is systolic (highest) blood pressure. The pressure measured when the
heart dilates with blood flowing back into the heart is called diastolic (lowest) blood pressure.

WHY MEASURE YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE?
Among the various health problems afflicting modern people, problems associated with high blood pressure are by far the
most common. High blood pressure's dangerously strong correlation with cardiovascular diseases and high morbidity has
made measuring blood pressures a necessity of identifying those at risk.
BLOOD PRESSURE FLUCTUATION
Blood pressure fluctuates all the time!
You should not be over worried if you encountered two or three measurements at high levels. Blood pressure changes over
the month and even throughout the day. It is also influenced by the season, temperature and activities.
CLASSIFICATION OF BLOOD PRESSURE
The blood pressure classification published by World Health Organization (WHO) and International Society of Hypertension
(ISH) in 1999 is as follows:
Note: It is not intended to provide a basis of any type of rush toward emer-
SEVERE - Grade 3 hypertension
gency conditions/diagnosis based on the scheme: the scheme is meant
only to discriminate between the different levels of blood pressure.
MODERATE - Grade 2 hypertension
WARNING! For specific information on your own blood pressure,
contact your physician.
MILD - Grade 1 hypertension
High-normal Blood Pressure
WARNING!
The appearance of the ARR icon indicates that a pulse irregularity consistent
Normal Blood Pressure
with an irregular heartbeat was detected during measurement. Usually this
Optimal Blood
is NOT a cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears often, we recom-
Pressure
mend you seek medical advice. We wish to underline that the device does not
replace a visit to the cardiologist, but it is useful to detect any irregularities in
advance.
Systolic blood pressure (mmHg)
WHY THE BLOOD PRESSURE I GET FROM THE HOSPITAL IS DIFFERENT FROM HOME?
The blood pressure is different even during 24 hour because of the weather, emotion, exercise etc., specially the "white coat"
in hospital which makes the results are higher than the ones at home.
IS THE RESULT THE SAME IF MEASURING ON THE RIGHT ARM?
Measurements can be taken on either arm; results can however differ sometimes so it is always advisable to use the same arm.

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURES
Here are a few helpful tips to help you obtain more accurate readings:
• 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.
• 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.
• Wait 5 minutes before taking the next measurement.
1. Press the User-Switching key to select memory zone 1, memory zone 2 or guest mode. After a memory zone is selected,
press the START/STOP key to reset the monitor so it can start measurement in the chosen memory zone.
2. Press the START/STOP key. All digits will light up, checking the display functions. The checking procedure will be completed
in 2 seconds.
3. 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.
4. 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.
5. In order to enhance the probability of pulse arrhythmia detection by the Pic Pulse detector technology, measurement
repetitions are recommended. This monitor will re-inflate automatically to approximately 220 mmHg if the system detects
that your body needs more pressure to measure your blood pressure.
Note: 1. This monitor automatically switches off approximately 1 minute after last key operation.
2. To interrupt the measurement, simply press the START/STOP key; the cuff will deflate immediately.
3. During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles.
RECALLING VALUES FROM MEMORY
1. The monitor has two memory zones (1 and 2). Each zone can store up to 60 measurements.
2. To read memory values from a selected memory zone, use the User-Switching key to select a memory zone (1 or 2) from
which you want to recall values. Press the Memory key. The first reading displayed is the average of all morning readings
from the last 7 days.
3. Continue to press the Memory key to view the average of all nighttime readings from the last 7 days.
4. Press the Memory key again to view the average of the last 3 measurements stored in memory, and the last previously stored
measurement. Every measurement comes with an assigned memory sequence number.
Note: The memory bank can store up to 60 readings per memory zone. When the number of readings exceeds 60, the oldest
data will be replaced with the new record.
Note:
is defined as 4:00 AM - 11:59 AM
Note:
is defined as 6:00 PM - 2:00 AM
WARNING!
The most recent recording (1) is shown first. Every time a new recording is made, the first (1) record is assigned to it. All the
others are moved by one figure (e.g. 2 becomes 3, and so on), whereas the last record (60/60) is deleted from the list.
CLEARING VALUES FROM MEMORY
1. Press the User-Switching key to select memory zone 1 or memory zone 2.
2. Press and hold the Memory key for approximately 5 seconds, then the data in the memory zone can be erased automatically.
