Introduction

Blood pressure measurements determined with X9 are equivalent to those obtained

by a trained observer using cu/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits

prescribed by the American National Standard, Electronic or Automated Sphygmoma-

nometers. This unit is to be used by adult consumers in home, physicians’ oces, hospi-

tals, clinics and other medical facilities. The patient is an intended operator. Do not use

this device on infants or neonates. X9 is protected against manufacturing defects by an

established International Warranty Program. For warranty information, you can contact

the manufacturer, Rossmax International Ltd.

Attention: Consult the accompanying documents. Please read this manual care-

fully before use. For specic information on your own blood pressure, contact your

physician. Please be sure to keep this manual.

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 eciency into the ventricles. Subsequently irregular

heartbeats occurs, which mostly are associated with a fast, yet highly instable heart rate.

PARR(Pulse Arrhythmia) Technology

Pulse Arrhythmia (PARR) technology specically detects the existence of pulse arrhyth-

mia, including atrial brillation (AFib), Atrial and / or Ventricular Premature Contractions

(PC), Tachycardia (TACH), and Bradycardia (BRAD). Pulse Arrhythmia may be related to

cardiac disorders, needs medical attention and thus early diagnosis is of paramount

importance. The PARR technology detects arrhythmia during regular blood pressure

checks without any additional user skills, user interaction and measurement prolonga-

tion. Beside the blood pressure diagnosis a specic pulse arrhythmia diagnosis is pro-

vided with PARR.

Note: The PARR detection of AFib, PC, TACH and BRAD is provided with a clinically

proven high detection probability [1]. However, the sensitivity and specicity is

limited, thus most, but not all pulse arrhythmia will be detected and displayed.

In certain patients with uncommon clinical conditions the PARR technology 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 diagno-

sis. Thus PARR is not meant to replace any medical ECG diagnosis by your doctor.

PARR provides an early detection of certain pulse arrhythmia, which inevitably

need to be presented to your doctor in charge.

Discriminating Detection Technology

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 signicant

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 disorders go along with an elevated risk prole 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. The ARR 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 inci-

dence of PC readings changes over time. Your doctor will then be able to provide

all required medical test and possible therapeutic procedures.

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 brillation

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 suer from an ischemic stroke also suer from atrial brillation.

Atrial brillation 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 meas-

ure during an ongoing period of active atrial brillation, or you measure in between pe-

riods of AFib, the PARR technology can be applied at any of these conditions. This unit

is able to detect Atrial brillation (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 PARR.
