1. Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the BIOS DiagnosticsTM Protocol 7DMII 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 your healthy blood pressure level.
1.1 Features
The blood pressure monitor 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 detects 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.
• Protocol Software is preinstalled in the device and simplifies home measurement
procedures recommended by Hypertension Canada. This enables users to determine their
real average blood pressure. Physicians can use the results stored in the tamper-proof log to
help diagnose your individual condition.
• Free BPiQ App - This monitor will connect via Bluetooth to Android and iOS devices. The
BPiQ App enables users to send secure data to physicians for interpretation.
• 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
• Averaging - Averages last 3 readings.
• Time and Date
• Alarms - Users can set reminders to take measurements at proper times.
This device is easy to use and has been proven in clinical studies to provide excellent
accuracy. Before using the blood pressure monitor, read this instruction manual carefully and
keep it in a safe place.
1.2 Important Information

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

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 to a “reference
device” with known accuracy. Significant time is required to reduce naturally occurring blood pressure
variability during the test. 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 a known “reference device” and not following the procedures described
above will yield unreliable 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 regular recalibration. Unless the product has been
dropped and internal parts have been damaged. 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” value, 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 above 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 is possible. Blood pressure is normally
lowest at night, while we sleep, 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”. Home blood
pressure monitoring has been shown to predict health outcomes better than office blood
pressure measurements.
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. Expert opinion suggests patients with normal blood pressure can benefit from one
week of measuring every 3 months.

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 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.
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. The red material should be over the
brachial artery.
c) Pull the cuff and tighten it by attaching the Velcro®
fastener. 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.

tight. You should be able to fit two fingers under the cuff.
If the cuff is the wrong size, the deivce 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.
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 Protocol Software (7D Mode)
7D Mode is used in consultation with your physician for assessing white coat hypertension or
sustained hypertension, based on a protocol of measurements taken at home. The protocol calls
for 2 measurements to be taken in the morning (AM) and 2 measurements in the evening (PM) for
7-days consecutively. The blood pressure monitor will automatically average the measurements
according to the protocol and will indicate whether all data was fulfilled, at the proper times.
7D Mode simplifies the process for users and provides physicians with clear data from home
measurement.
1. When the monitor is OFF, press the SET button, 7D Mode will appear on
the monitor. Press the SET button to confirm.
NOTE: Press the MEM button to switch between 7D Mode and
General Mode.
2. Next, select the user. When taking measurements in 7D Mode it is
very important to select the correct user. Press the SET button to confirm, then press the
START/STOP button to power the monitor OFF.

*Note: If the result is “borderline” repeat the series for confirmation. This data
can be used by a medical professional to make a diagnosis of hypertension.
To start your measurement, see section 3.6 Measuring Your Blood Pressure. Once the Protocol
is complete, after the 7 days, you can view your average. See section 3.9B Recalling Memory
in 7D Mode.
IMPORTANT:
It is critical that users follow the measurement protocol carefully to ensure reliable
data for diagnosis.

1. Take 2 measurements in the morning (ideally after going to the bathroom and before eating
or drinking).
2. Take 2 measurements in the evening approximately 10-12 hours after the morning
measurements, and ideally not immediately after the evening meal, 2 hours after a meal is
recommended.
3. Repeat these 4 measurements per day for 7 days consecutively.
NOTE 1: Missing measurements will cause ERR to appear on the display. Continue
with the sequence of measurements and discuss with your doctor when you review
the data.
NOTE 2: The machine only recognizes AM and PM readings each day. It does not
exclude AM and PM measurements only a few hours apart. Each measurement has
a time stamp. Discard any measurements that were not at least 6 hours apart with
your doctor.
