Withings BP 800 Setup

Probably the coolest thing about the Withings BP 800 is that it is made to work only with iOS devices. If you have an iPhone, iPod touch or iPad, you’re set. The setup process is incredibly simple — you just unlock your device, if you have a lock screen set up, and then plug the cable into the Dock Connector on the iOS device.

Chances are pretty good that when you start using the Withings Blood Pressure, you won’t have the free WiScale app on your device, so the monitor “tickles” your device to see if the app is there, and sends you to the App Store to download it if is not.

WiScale is designed to display your weight and blood pressure history, and it’s also the app that runs the Blood Pressure Monitor and captures the BP data for you. To send the health data to Withings for sharing purposes, you need to either set up a new MyWithings account through the app or use an existing login.

That’s pretty much it for the setup, as the monitor comes with four AAA batteries pre-installed. There are no Wi-Fi settings to make, since your iOS device is used to send the blood pressure data to Withings.

Withings BP 800: Taking your blood pressure

Withings BP 800As with any blood pressure monitoring regime, you should plan on taking your pressure with the Withings Blood Pressure Monitor at the same time each day for consistency’s sake. I chose to take mine first thing in the morning.

Your monitor has a cuff with a nice springy curl to it and the standard Velcro patches to make sure it is tightly attached to your upper arm. The electronics for the device are in a polished aluminum tube on the cuff that also aligns the cuff on your arm properly. Per the instructions that are printed on the tube, you align the cuff with the pulse point on the inside of your elbow, with the cable pointing down towards your iOS device.

With the WiScale app launched and the iOS device plugged into the monitor, a blank blood pressure screen appears. You can either press the large green Start button to begin the process or switch users and then press Start. The display on the iOS device shows that a measurement is underway, and a small fan icon begins to turn as the pump inflates the BP cuff. Eventually your pulse appears as a beating heart icon, the cuff begins to deflate, and finally, your diastolic and systolic blood pressures and pulse rate are displayed.

At that point, you can tap the blue Done button to quit or press Start again to take your pressure again. There’s also an auto mode, which takes your blood pressure three separate times (with a pre-set time period in between each test) and averages the readings.

Withings BP 800: Viewing the results

After the blood pressure reading has been made, you get immediate feedback. If the diastolic and systolic blood pressure readings are in the normal range, a green dot appears next to the number. Likewise, if your pulse appears to be in the normal range, you’ll see a green dot next to the beats per minute count. For any of the readings, a yellow dot is sign for concern, while a red dot indicates a situation that you may wish to share with your healthcare provider.

There’s a “thumbwheel” at the bottom of the results to scroll back and forth through your BP readings. If you’re bringing in weight data from a Withings scale, you can see your latest weight and that day’s BP reading by flicking between two screens on the display.

Remember that the app has also sent a copy of that blood pressure reading to the Withings site, and it’s easy to share that and your weight data with a health professional or personal trainer.

Finally, for anyone with a family history of high blood pressure who wants to keep track of his or her BP automatically, the Withings Blood Pressure Monitor is a worthwhile and easy-to-use tool. So, get The Lowest Price on Withings BP 800.
