Training for new users

1. Analyst Training

2. 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.

3. 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.

4. Once you have viewed this presentation, click on the “Certificate” button in your
Admin Control Panel. This will enable you to access your unique certificate authorising
you to use the Vital Vision arterial test unit as an TAMAH Analyst.

Content

6. The equipment you will be using
to test your clients is called Vital
Vision. It measures blood pressure
and also determines the condition
of main arteries by measuring
their elasticity
Vital Vision Unit

7. Yes because our system
has been developed from
evidence based on
science and mainstream
medicine
Can the results be trusted?
Vital Vision

8. The company supplying TAMAH Systems with the Vital Vision
device has been developing and supplying medical equipment
globally since 1975
The company manufacture 180,000 medical devices each
month. The Vital Vision device has all necessary certification
for a Class II medical device. It is very accurate
Vital Vision

9. 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 Vision
The Vital Vision unit has Class II Classification

10. • 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

12. Our advanced algorithmic software gives an estimate of
biological age calculated by using the results from vascular
stiffness, 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

13. 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

14. • 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:

15. • 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

16. Ensure the red line on the cuff is over the
brachial artery with the tube coming out of
the bottom of the cuff
The Testing Process
Arm Cuff

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

18. Count the number of bars at the top of the display. There will
be between one and eight. Transfer this reading to the
appropriate input box on your online software
The Testing Process
Arterial Hardness Reading

19. • 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 a
diagnosis. If you are not medically qualified, you are not
qualified to supply a diagnosis
The Testing Process
Stiffness Results

20. • 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’

21. 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’

22. • 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’

23. 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’

24. 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 the
clients general condition, replace the data you have put into
the computer that contains the ‘spike’ or ‘trough’ with the
data obtained from the fourth test reading
Retest suspect results
‘Spikes’ & ‘Troughs’

25. You can access your test panel at: www.tamahsystems.com
Your unique ID and password was sent to you in our Welcome email. Please
enter this into the TAMAH Systems login box

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

27. 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

28. 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

29. 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

30. 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

31. 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

32. 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

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

34. 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

35. 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 Administration
screen. Gender, date of birth and name cannot be changed once accepted onto our
system. If these details are inaccurate, you will need to open a new client account

36. 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

37. 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?

38. • 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?

39. • 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?

40. • 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?

41. • 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?

42. • 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?

43. • 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?

44. • 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?

45. • 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?
