1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the BIOS Diagnostics™ Easy Read Blood Pressure Monitor. Designed for convenient and
easy operation, this device provides a simple, yet accurate method to measure your blood pressure.
Your blood pressure is an important parameter that can be used to monitor your health. This device enables you to
monitor your blood pressure regularly, and maintain a record of your blood pressure measurements. You can then use
this record to assist your physician in diagnosing and maintaining a healthy blood pressure level.
1.1 Features
The BD201 uses oscillometric technology to measure the arterial blood pressure and pulse rate. The cuff is wrapped
around the arm and automatically inflated by the air pump. The sensor in the device senses weak fluctuation of the
pressure in the cuff produced by extension and contraction of the artery of the arm in response to each heartbeat. The
amplitude of the pressure waves is measured, converted in millimeters of the mercury column, and is shown on the
display.
• Memory Features 2 users, 90 blood pressure readings each with time and date.
• BP Assessment Indicator displays the range between which your blood pressure values lie, according to
Hypertension Canada.
• Detects Irregular Heartbeat
• BIOS Averaging - averages last 3 readings
• Time and Date
This device is easy to use and has been proven in clinical studies to provide excellent accuracy. Before using the
BD201, read this instruction manual carefully and keep it in a safe place.
The blood pressure monitor meets the accuracy requirements of Hypertension Canada and has been tested for clinical
accuracy.
1.2 Important Information
Refer to the following sections to learn about important safety instructions and how to take care of the BIOS
Diagnostics™ Easy Read Blood Pressure Monitor.
1.2A Safety Information
• Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment. Your values must always be discussed with your
doctor or a physician who is familiar with your family history.
• If you are undergoing medical treatment and receiving medication, consult your doctor to determine the most
appropriate time to measure your blood pressure. Never alter the dosages of any medication without direction
from your doctor.
• Your blood pressure depends on several factors, such as age, gender, weight and physical condition. It also
depends on the environment and your state of mind at the time of measurement. In general, your blood pressure is
lower when you are asleep and higher when you are active. Your blood pressure may be higher when recorded at a
hospital or a clinic and may be lower when measured in the relaxing comfort of your home. Due to these variations,
we recommend that you record your blood pressure regularly at home as well as at your doctor’s clinic.
• Try to record your blood pressure regularly at the same time of the day and under the same conditions. This will
help your physician detect any extreme variations in your blood pressure and thus treat you accordingly.
• Morning Hypertension (>135 / 85 mmHg): Recently, several studies have identified elevated cardiovascular risks
(heart failure, stroke, angina) associated with “morning hypertension”. There is a typical rise in blood pressure
during the physiological changes from sleep to arising for the day.
• The ideal time to measure your blood pressure is in the morning just after you wake up, before breakfast and any
physical activity, and in the absence of the urge to urinate. If this is not possible, try to take the measurements

later in the morning, before you start any physical activity. Relax for a few minutes before you record your blood
pressure.
• Your blood pressure increases or decreases under the following circumstances:
Blood pressure is higher than normal:
— When you are excited, nervous, or tense
— While taking a bath
— During and after exercise or strenuous physical activity
— When it is cold
— Within one hour after meals
— After drinking tea, coffee, or other caffeinated drinks
— After smoking tobacco
— When your bladder is full
Blood pressure is lower than normal:
— After consuming alcohol
— After taking a bath
• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers.
• If you have been diagnosed with a severe arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, vascular constriction, liver disorders,
or diabetes, have a cardiac pacemaker, or are pregnant, measurements made with this instrument should only be
evaluated after consultation with your doctor.
• Take care while handling the batteries in the device. Incorrect usage may cause battery fluid leakage.
To prevent such accidents, refer to the following instructions:
— Insert batteries with the correct polarity.
— Turn off power after use. Remove and store the batteries if you are not planning to use the device for an
extended period of time.
— Do not mix different types, brands, or size of batteries. This may cause damage to the product.
— Do not mix old and new batteries.
— Remove batteries and dispose of them according to the proper regulations in your area.
— Do not disassemble batteries or expose them to heat or fire.
— Do not short-circuit the batteries.
— Do not use rechargeable batteries.
1.2B Care of the Device
For prolonged life of your blood pressure monitor, note the following instructions:
• Do not drop or bang the unit. Prevent sudden jerks, jars, or shocks to the device to prevent damage.
• Do not insert any foreign objects in any device openings or vents.
• Do not disassemble the unit.
• If the unit has been stored at very low or freezing temperatures, allow to reach room temperature before using it.
• Do not store the unit in direct sunlight, high humidity, or in places with a lot of dust.
• Clean the device with a soft dry cloth. Do not use gasoline, thinner or similar solvents. Carefully remove spots on
the cuff with a damp cloth and soap. Do not wash the cuff.
• Do not use the device if you think it is damaged or if anything appears unusual.
• Ensure that children do not use this device unsupervised;some parts are small enough to be swallowed.
• Using the unit in the immediate vicinity of mobile phones, microwave appliances or other devices with strong
electromagnetic fields may result in impaired functioning.
• Do not use this device close to strong electromagnetic fields, such as mobile telephones or radio installations.
Keep a distance from such devices when using this unit.

1.2C Comparing Readings to Other Blood Pressure Devices
Many questions arise when two blood pressure devices are compared in an effort to check accuracy. An accurate
comparison requires repeatable measurements under the same conditions, and significant time is required to reduce
naturally occurring blood pressure variability during the test. For proper comparisons, the subject should be seated
comfortably with feet flat on the floor, and have rested for 5 minutes before the first reading to allow blood pressure
levels to stabilize. The patients back, elbow and forearm should be supported, and the middle of the cuff should be at the
level of the right atrium. There should be no talking or moving during the measurement and if comparing to an aneroid
gauge or mercury column, observers should avoid parallax and be careful not to round measurements.
The most accurate way to compare devices is to take two readings at the same time. However most people and doctor’s
offices do not have the equipment necessary to measure blood pressure from two devices simultaneously. To take
sequential measurements properly requires a pair of initial measurements to determine the subjects blood pressure level:
first with the reference equipment, followed by 60 seconds, then with the monitor-under-test. The actual accuracy test
requires three pairs of measurements with 60 seconds between measurements. These measurements are averaged
and a comparison can be made. Since most people tend to relax and their blood pressure falls with subsequent
measurements, following this protocol reduces these natural changes in Blood Pressure levels. The standard technical
error of both consumer and professional devices is normally ±3 mmHg, so a discrepancy of 6 mmHg is acceptable even
when the devices are working within their specifications.
Any comparisons without following the procedures described above will not yield reliable results. In addition, to do an
accuracy test properly the reference device must also be tested to a known reference to confirm its accuracy, prior to
being used as the reference for comparisons.
1.2D Calibration
Digital blood pressure monitors do not require recalibration. If the unit turns on and does not display an error code, the
product is working properly. In extremely rare cases, the cuff may have developed a pin-hole leak, or the gasket where
the cuff connector enters the monitor may not have a proper seal; both of these leaking air issues will potentially cause
errors in accuracy, but otherwise the product will work accurately without drifting out of calibration.
1.3 What do your Numbers Mean?
Blood pressure is the pressure in your blood vessels while blood circulates throughout your body. High blood pressure or
“Hypertension” is the pressure at which ones normal average blood pressure is considered too high and other health risks
including: heart attack, stroke, dementia, kidney failure, heart disease and erectile dysfunction may occur. It is expressed
as two numbers: systolic/diastolic 120 mmHg/ 80 mmHg (mmHg= millimeters of mercury). “Systolic” numbers refer to
the pressure on the walls of your arteries while the heart is contracting and pushing blood. “Diastolic” pressure is
the lower number when the heart is at rest and relaxed. A simple way to understand this is to picture a garden hose.
When the tap is turned on, the immediate pressure on the walls of the hose is the “systolic” number, and when the
tap is turned off it is the “diastolic” number.
There are many different causes of high blood pressure. We differentiate between common primary (essential) hypertension,
and secondary hypertension. The latter group can be ascribed to specific organic malfunctions.
Please consult your doctor for information about the possible origins of your own increased blood pressure values.
1.4 Normal Blood Pressure Values
Blood pressure is too high when measuring at home and you have rested, the diastolic pressure is above 85 mmHg or the systolic
blood pressure is over 135 mmHg. If you obtain readings in this range, consult your doctor immediately. High blood pressure values
over time can damage blood vessels, vital organs such as the kidney, and your heart.
With blood pressure values that are too low (i.e., systolic values under 105 mmHg or diastolic values under 60 mmHg), consult with
your doctor.

Systolic Diastolic Comment
Below 120 Less than
80 This range is considered “Normal” and ideal.
120 - 139 80 – 89 This range is considered “Pre-hypertension”: Discuss with your health care professional.
Lifestyle modifications maybe required to avoid advancing into Hypertension.
140 – 159 90 - 99 This is in the hypertension range. Discuss with your health care professional.
Medication(s) and lifestyle modifications are typical treatments.
160 and
higher 100 + Discuss with your medical professional, medication(s) and lifestyle modifications are necessary to control your hypertension.
Adopted From: Understanding and Managing your blood pressure; Hypertension Canada.
Note: A diagnosis of high blood pressure must be confirmed with a medical professional. A doctor should
evaluate any unusual blood pressure readings. Additionally, lower targets may be appropriate for some
populations such as African-Americans, the elderly, or patients with underlying issues such as diabetes
mellitus or chronic kidney disease.
Important for Canadians:
* Hypertension measured at home ≥135/85
* Hypertension measured at a physician’s office ≥140/90
* Hypertension measured at a physician’s office for a diabetic patient ≥130/80

1.5 Common Blood Pressure Questions and Answers
a) Why is my blood pressure reading always different?
Your blood pressure changes constantly. It is quite normal for blood pressure to fluctuate significantly (50 mmHg to 60
mmHg) throughout the day. Blood pressure is normally lowest at night, but increases during waking hours when the
stress and activities of everyday life are highest.
b) Why is the doctor’s reading different from the reading taken at home?
Your blood pressure can vary due to the environment (temperature, nervous condition). When measuring blood
pressure at the doctor’s office, it is possible for blood pressure to increase due to anxiety and tension, this is known as
“White Coat Hypertension”.
c) Why should I monitor blood pressure at home?
One or two readings will not provide a true indication of your normal blood pressure. It is important to take regular,
daily measurements and to keep records over a period of time. This information can be used to assist your physician in
diagnosing and preventing potential health problems.

3.3 Obtaining Accurate Measurements
Your blood pressure can vary based on numerous factors, physiological conditions, and your surroundings. Follow
these guidelines to obtain accurate and error-free measurements of your blood pressure and pulse rate.
3.3A Tips on Taking Accurate Measurements
In the morning before breakfast,
2 hours after dinner, before taking
medication.
Avoid coffee and smoking within the
hour, and no exercise 30 minutes
before measuring.
Do not speak while taking the
measurement.
Sit with legs uncrossed so as not to
restrict blood flow.
Empty bladder (if necessary).
Rest quietly for 5 minutes. Remain
calm and quiet while the measurement
is in process.
Take measurements on the non
dominant arm.
Sit with back supported and
measurement arm resting on a table.
Sit with feet flat on the floor.
Ensure that the cuff is level
with the heart while the arm is
supported on the table.
3.3B Common Sources of Error
All efforts by the patient to support the arm can increase the blood pressure. Make sure you are in a comfortable,
relaxed position and do not activate any of the muscles in the measurement arm during the measurement. Use a
cushion for support if necessary.
ATTENTION!
Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions with a peaceful and
calm environment. Ensure that you take measurements under the same conditions to obtain an accurate
estimate of blood pressure variation patterns.
• If the arm artery lies considerably lower or higher than the heart, an erroneous value of blood pressure is
measured. Each 15 cm difference in height results in a measurement error of 10 mmHg.
• A loose cuff causes false measurement values.
• With repeated measurements, blood accumulates in the arm, which can lead to false results. Consecutive blood
pressure measurements should be repeated after at least a 15 second pause or after the arm has been held up in
order to allow the accumulated blood to flow away.

3.3C Fitting the Wide Range Cuff
a) Put the end of the cuff (with fastener) through the metal ring, making
the cuff a cylinder. (Ignore this step if your cuff is already set up.) Proper
assembly allows the Velcro®to match up properly. Measure on your
non-dominant arm, unless there is a >10 mmHg difference with the
other arm, in which case use the arm with the higher pressure.
b) Place the cuff around your bare arm. Make sure the bottom edge of the
cuff is about 1” (2-3 cm) above the elbow joint. Adjust the cuff so that
the rubber tubing under the cuff lies over the brachial artery, which runs
on the inside of the arm (see Fig. B). The red material should be over the
brachial artery.
c) Pull the cuff and tighten it by attaching the Velcro®fastener.
d) The cuff should fit snugly around the bare arm, but not too tight. You
should be able to fit two fingers under the cuff. If the cuff is the wrong
size, the device will not measure your blood pressure accurately.
Contact the store, or BIOS Medical for other sized cuffs.
e) Place the arm on the table (palm facing upwards) so that the cuff is at
the same level as the heart. Make sure there is no kink in the hose.
f) You can adjust the level of your arm by putting a cushion under your
arm. Ideally the cuff should be at heart level.
g) Remain seated in a comfortable room temperature for at least 5
minutes, then start the measurement.
h) For those who cannot put the cuff on the left arm, put it on the right arm
as shown.
a)
e)
f)
d)
b)
c)
h)

i) Consecutive measurements will cause blood accumulation in the
lower arm which will affect the measuring results. To improve
reading accuracy, raise the arm being measured, squeeze and relax
your hand several times, then take another measurement. Another
option is to take the cuff off and wait at least 5 minutes before
repeating measurement.
j) If this device was stored in low temperature, it is necessary to leave
it in room temperature for at least 1 hour, otherwise the measurement can be inaccurate.
Comment:
Continue to use the same arm for comparisons. It is not unusual for there to be a difference in blood pressure
between arms.
Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions (Relax for several minutes before
taking a measurement).
ATTENTION: Do not use a cuff other than the original cuff contained in this kit!
3.4 Measuring Your Blood Pressure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can begin:
1. Press the START/STOP button until all the symbols appear on the screen. You will hear 2 short
beeps and after “ ” will flash for 2 seconds. The pump then begins to inflate the cuff. The
increasing pressure in the cuff is shown on the display.
2. After the suitable pressure has been reached, the pump stops and the cuff gradually deflates.
The cuff pressure will then be displayed. In case the initial inflation is not sufficient, the device
automatically re-inflates to a high pressure.
3. When the device detects a heartbeat, the heart symbol “ ” on the display starts to flash and you
can hear a beep for every heartbeat.
4. When the measurement has been completed, you will hear a long beep and the systolic, diastolic
and pulse rate will appear on the display.
5. The measurement readings remain on the display until you switch off the device. If no button is
pressed, the device switches off itself in 3 minutes.
NOTE: The symbol “ ” will be displayed along with the reading if irregular heartbeat has been
detected during the measurement. If the “ ” symbol appears frequently (e.g. several times a week),
it may be an indication of a more serious heart problem, and you should consult your doctor.
3.5 Discontinuing a Measurement
To stop the measurement (eg. the patient feels unwell) press the START/STOP button. The device will immediately
decrease the cuff pressure automatically.
3.6 Memory Recall
This blood pressure monitor automatically stores 90 measurements for each user in its memory. The oldest record will
be replaced by the latest measurement value when there are more than 90 sets for each user.
3.7 Recall the Memory with the Power Off
Press the “+” or “-” button, the average of the last 3 measurements will be shown, or press the “-” button again to
see the most recent measurement value. Subsequest measurements can be displayed one after the other by pressing
the “+” or “-” button.
i)

3.8 Clear Measurements From Memory
If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored memories, press the SET button 7 times until
“ ” appears when the power is off. Press the START/STOP button until “ ” flashes 3 times to clear the memory.
After this, press either the “+” or “-” button, the symbols “ ” and “ ” will appear on the screen. This means that
the memory has successfully cleared.
3.9 Blood Pressure Assessment Indicator
The bars on the left hand side of the display show you the range within which the indicated blood pressure values
lies. Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either within the normal (green), borderline (yellow) or
danger (red) range.
The classification is based on standards adopted by
Hypertension Canada.
The indicator bar rises according to your measurement.
• If your measurement has only one or two bars, your
measurement is in the green zone, or “Normal”.
• If your measurement has three bars, it is in the yellow
zone, or “High Normal”, in the pre-hypertensive range.
• If your measurement has four bars, it is in the red zone
“High Blood Pressure with Self / Home Monitoring”.
• If your measurement has five bars, it is in the red zone or
“Moderate to Severe Hypertension”.
4. Error Messages / Malfunctions
If an error occurs during a measurement the LCD displays the corresponding error code.
Error Possible Cause Remedy
Weak signal or a sudden change in pressure
Ensure that the cuff is worn correctly and
measure again. Avoid movement or talking when
the cuff is being inflated.
External disturbance (eg. if there is a cell
phone near by)
Electromagnetic interferance can cause odd
behaviour in the monitor. Move away from the
source.
Appears when there is an error during the
inflation process
Make sure the cuff is wraped around the
arm properly and that the air plug is properly
connected to the unit.

Low battery Replace batteries.
If problems occur when using the device the following points should be checked, and if necessary, the corresponding
measures should be taken.
Malfunction Remedy
The display remains blank when the device is
switched on.
1. Check batteries for correct polarity.
2. If using the AC adapter, ensure it is correctly inserted.
The pressure does not rise even though the pump
is running.
Check the connection of the cuff tube and connect properly
if necessary.
The device frequently fails to measure the blood
pressure values, or the values measured are too low
or too high.
1. Check the positioning of the cuff and cuff tension. The
cuff should be snug but not tight.
2. Measure the blood pressure again, ensuring that you
have remained motionless for a sufficient amount of time
to ensure an accurate reading.
Every measurement produces varying results
although the instrument functions normally and the
values displayed are normal.
Note that blood pressure fluctuates continuously; therefore
measurements will show some variability.
Blood pressure values measured differ from those
measured by the doctor.
Record the daily developement of the values and consult
your doctor.
Note: Individuals visiting their doctor frequently
experience anxiety which can result in a higher
blood pressure reading than at home.

5. Care and Maintenance
a) Do not expose the device to either extreme temperatures, humidity, dust or direct sunlight.
b) The cuff contains a sensitive air-tight bubble. Handle this carefully and avoid all types of
stress through twisting or buckling.
c) Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use gas, thinners or similar solvents. Spots
on the cuff can be removed carefully with a damp cloth and soapsuds. The cuff with
bladder must not be washed in a dishwasher, clothes washer, or submerged in water.

d) Handle the tube carefully. Do not pull on it. Do not allow the tubing to kink and keep it away from sharp edges.
e) Do not drop the monitor or treat it roughly in any way. Avoid strong vibrations.
f) Never open the monitor. This invalidates the manufacturer’s warranty.
