Analyst Training

The Tamah test is NOT a business

opportunity. It is simply an invaluable tool

to help you prove to your customers that

Arginine has a positive affect on arterial

health. Rather than asking your customers

to pay for this test, why not encourage

them to get their Arginine from you by

offering them a free test each time they

make a purchase.

You must not use this test to offer your

customer ANY medical advice or opinion.

The unique health report produced for your

customer is all the information they need. If

your customer asks for any other advice or

information related to the Tamah arterial

test, they should be advised to consult their

doctor.

Content

The equipment you will be usingto test your clients is called VitalVision. It measures blood pressureand also determines the conditionof main arteries by measuringtheir elasticity

Vital Vision Unit

Yes because our systemhas been developed fromevidence based onscience and mainstreammedicine

Can the results be trusted?

Vital Vision

The company supplying TAMAH Systems with the Vital Visiondevice has been developing and supplying medical equipmentglobally since 1975

The company manufacture 180,000 medical devices eachmonth. The Vital Vision device has all necessary certificationfor a Class II medical device. It is very accurate

Vital Vision

Class II devices require precise calibration and are extremely accurate

They must have more than the simple general controls to ensure safety and effectiveness and must comply with ‘special

controls’

Special labelling requirements

Mandatory performance standards

Complies with International and USA controls

Vital VisionThe Vital Vision unit has Class II Classification

• The device measures the size of the ‘Pulse Wave’ caused by each pump of the heart

• The softness of the artery and the volume of blood delivered determines the size of the pulse wave

• The smaller the pulse wave, the stiffer the artery

Vital Vision

How the equipment works

Our advanced algorithmic software gives an estimate ofbiological age calculated by using the results from vascularstiffness, BMI and blood pressure measurements

BMI Body mass index does not reliably reflect excess body fat in all people. Therefore we have a

box (Fitness Mode) that can be ticked when testing. This feature is used in the case of muscle dense clients such as sports people. Ticking this box will mean the software ignores the BMI

reading when calculating the subjects Biological Age

Biological Age

Biological Age is the active rate at which a persons body is aging. It is a reflection of their current state of health, life

expectancy, and future quality of life

This is different to a person’s chronological age, which is how many years they’ve been alive

Biological Age

• Client should be still during test

• Exercise, caffeine, alcohol kept to minimum before test.

• Client should not talk during test.

• Attach cuff to left arm if possible.

• Seated in relaxed position, legs & arms uncrossed and NOT tucked under the chair

• Arm fully supported by tabletop.

• Vital Vision must be still during test.

• Subject should be calm and at rest before test.

The Testing Process

To obtain good quality data:

• Try to always fit the cuff to the left arm

• Ensure the fit is not too tight before inflation begins. Check client is comfortable and DO NOT get distracted from your client. Be ready to stop and adjust the cuff if it’s becoming uncomfortable

The Testing Process

Arm Cuff

Ensure the red line on the cuff is over thebrachial artery with the tube coming out ofthe bottom of the cuff

The Testing Process

Arm Cuff

Once the cuff fixed in place, ensure your client is relaxed.Then, to begin the test, press the start button on the unit andwait while the cuff inflates. When the test is complete, thearterial stiffness and blood pressure readings will show on theunit. We recommend repeating this process three times,making sure each reading is transferred to the online software

The Testing Process

Count the number of bars at the top of the display. There willbe between one and eight. Transfer this reading to theappropriate input box on your online software

The Testing Process

Arterial Hardness Reading

• 1-3 Bars Elasticity appears good

• 4-6 Bars Less elasticity

• 7-8 Bars Regular testing required

Remember – DO NOT diagnose even if the client asks for adiagnosis. If you are not medically qualified, you are notqualified to supply a diagnosis

The Testing Process

Stiffness Results

• Because the body is dynamic, a single test result may be outside of normal parameters

• This does NOT mean the equipment or the test procedure is at fault

‘Spikes’ & ‘Troughs’

As you will need to take three readings to complete the test, a‘spike’ will be fairly apparent. For example a blood pressure‘spike’ may look like this:

Reading 1: BP – 120/80 and SI 3

Reading 2: BP – 118/78 and SI 2

Reading 3: BP – 145/121 and SI 3

‘Spikes’

‘Spikes’ & ‘Troughs’

• A ‘Spike’ can also be manifested with Arterial Stiffness. For example:

Reading 1: BP – 120/80 and SI 2

Reading 2: BP – 115/71 and SI 3

Reading 3: BP – 123/86 and SI 6

Stiffness Index ‘Spike’

‘Spikes’ & ‘Troughs’

The same principle applies to ‘Troughs’. For example:

Reading 1 – BP 120/80 and SI 6

Reading 2 – BP 127/86 and SI 1

Reading 3 – BP 115/76 and SI 5

‘Trough’

‘Spikes’ & ‘Troughs’

If you suspect a result is either a ‘spike’ or a ‘trough’, perform a fourth or even a fifth test

If this confirms that one of the results is not indicative of theclients general condition, replace the data you have put intothe computer that contains the ‘spike’ or ‘trough’ with thedata obtained from the fourth test reading

Retest suspect results

enter this into the TAMAH Systems login box

Once you have logged in, you will be presented with your Administration screen

You will need to purchase test credits to perform tests. Each test credit will allow you to conduct a test and produce a health report for your client. To

purchase test credits, simply click on the Add Credits menu button

Using your menu button on your Administration page, print some Terms forms. Your client should sign these Terms and you must keep the original

signed copy for 5 years

To start a new test, click the Client Testing button on your Administration screen. You will see the screen below. If this is not the clients first test, you should click one of the

Find Client buttons. If it is your clients first test, simply click New Client

Carefully complete your clients details. Tick the box at the bottom of the page to confirm that your client has signed a copy of our Terms. You must retain

these for 5 years. Click the Submit button

Input your clients height and weight details. Use the Vital Vision unit to obtain blood pressure and arterial stiffness readings (between 1 and 8). Repeat

three times, inputting the readings each time in the boxes provided

Complete the client questionnaire. If your client has a high body mass/weight due to sports activities, tick the Fitness Mode box at the bottom. This will maintain accuracy when the Biological Age is calculated. Finally click the Calculate Biological Age button

Wait a few moments for your information to be received by our central database so the biological age can be calculated

From this screen, you can choose to either print the health report or request our system to generate an email containing a unique web address that can be emailed to your client for remote retrieval. We strongly recommend that on the Terms signed by

your client, you make a note of your clients security key and ID

If you need to change client details once they have been put onto the TAMAH system,and a health report generated, use the Amend Details button on your Administrationscreen. Gender, date of birth and name cannot be changed once accepted onto oursystem. If these details are inaccurate, you will need to open a new client account

On your menu, you will see a Client Test Due button. You can use this feature to set up reminders for your clients as their follow up tests become due

FAQ’s

• Are you medically qualified?

• Is the Vital Vision a medical device?

• Are the results reliable?

• What if my client is concerned about any of the results?

• I am on medication, will my results be accurate?

• As one of your Analysts, do I need insurance?

• Do TAMAH provide any marketing material?

• Can I get a commission by recommending others to become TAMAH Analysts?

• If you are not medically qualified, you must NEVER represent yourself as such

• All TAMAH Analysts are however licensed to use the Vital Vision device and software

Are you medically qualified?

• The Vital Vision device is used in some hospitals as a diagnostic device

• However do not use it as a diagnostic tool if you do not have the relevant qualifications

Is the Vital Vision a medical device?

• Yes. However the arteries are an organ and therefore are dynamic

• Two readings taken closely together may differ in much the same way as blood pressure readings change from time to time

Are the results reliable?

• If your client has any concerns, they should be advised to consult their physician

What if your client is concerned about any of the results?

• Arterial stiffness results may not be reliable as chemicals within the blood can distort the reading

I am on medication. Will my arterial stiffness results be accurate?

• Most natural health practitioners choose to have some form of insurance. There are many companies that specialise in this type of insurance policy. However we don’t recommend any specific company. For the purposes of insurance, the Vital Vision device is an arterial & blood pressure monitor

Do TAMAH Analysts need insurance?

• Yes. Free artwork can be downloaded from your Control Panel. The artwork is ‘print ready’ and can be sent to your preferred printer or supplier. If you would like the artwork changed so that your own web address appears, please email us. There is a small charge for this service.

Do TAMAH provide any marketing material?

• No. TAMAH has no affiliate programme and we have no plans to introduce one. Recommending the TAMAH System to your downlines benefits your business as generally they will be more active and sell more product than downlines that don’t have access to the TAMAH System.

Can I get a commission by recommending others to become TAMAH Analysts?
