Yes, when using the device for the first time, it requires a blood pressure calibration in order to effectively be able to use the Blood Pressure and SpO₂ features.
This tutorial will guide you step-by-step through the process of calibrating blood pressure on your Vyvo wearable device. Follow each step carefully to ensure accurate results.
1. Initial Measurement with a Traditional Blood Pressure Monitor
Before starting the calibration, it is essential to measure your blood pressure using a traditional blood pressure monitor (sphygmomanometer). This step is crucial to ensure the accuracy of future readings from your wearable device. Perform this measurement on an empty stomach, ensuring it is done a reasonable amount of time before or after meals for optimal results.
2. Access the Vyvo App
1. Open the Vyvo app on your mobile device.
2. Navigate to the “Device” section.
3. Start Calibration
1. Select the “Blood Pressure Calibration” option.
2. Click on “Calibration/Recalibration”.
4. Enter Data
1. Input the results obtained from the traditional blood pressure monitor:
- SBP (Systolic Blood Pressure)
- DBP (Diastolic Blood Pressure)
2. Indicate whether you have taken antihypertensive medications in the last 24 hours by selecting the corresponding option.
5. Finalize Calibration
1. After entering all the data, select “Done”.
2. The calibration process will start automatically. Each device has a specific calibration procedure; simply follow the steps displayed in the app.
Please note:
- Perform the traditional blood pressure measurement in a resting state to obtain accurate values.
- Ensure both the traditional blood pressure measurement and the calibration with your Vyvo device are done on an empty stomach, a reasonable amount of time before or after meals. - Calibration should be repeated every 4 weeks to maintain accuracy.
- If you notice out-of-range results, it is recommended to measure your blood pressure with a traditional blood pressure monitor (sphygmomanometer) and consult a healthcare professional.
- If significant changes in your health occur, repeat this calibration process. By following these steps, your Vyvo device will be correctly calibrated to provide precise blood.
