Indications For Use
The BIOS Diagnostics Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BD280, is designed to measure the systolic,
diastolic and pulse rate of an adult individual by using a non-invasive oscillometric technique with an inatable
cuff wrapped around the upper arm. This device can provide ambulatory and self blood pressure measurements
results. It offers a programmable 24-hour patient out-of-ofce blood pressure measurement on the ambulatory
mode. This device can be used in both home and professional environments. The BD280 can be used in
connection with a computer running the BIOS Diagnostics BD280 Analyzer software. The memory data can be
transferred to the computer by connecting the monitor via a USB cable.
Clinical Information and Benets
For adults with arm cuff circumference sizes ranging from 14 – 52 cm.
Additional Cuffs (Sold Separately):
BD087: Small (14 – 22 cm)
BD090: Extra Large (32 – 52 cm)
The clinical indications for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring include the assessments of hypertension,
abnormal 24-hour blood pressure patterns, and the treatment of the patients by healthcare professionals.

4
Contraindications
• The measuring arm suffers from injuries (e.g. open wounds) or conditions (e.g. intravenous drip and blood
vessel stent implant) making it unsuitable for surface contact or pressurization of the arm.
• The application of the cuff would apply undue pressure on a limb where intravascular access/therapy, or an
arteriovenous shunt is present. Temporary interference with blood ow could result in injury to the patient.
• Avoid taking measurements on the arm on the side of a mastectomy or lymph node removal.
• Avoid taking measurements of patients with diseases or environmental conditions that lead to uncontrollable
motions (e.g. trembling or shivering).
