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.

1.3AboutBloodPressure
Your blood pressure level is determined in the circulatory center of your brain.Your nervous system allows your body
to adapt or alter blood pressure in response to different situations.Your body alters your pulse or heart rate and the
width of blood vessels through changes in muscles in the walls of blood vessels.
Your blood pressure reading is highest when your heart pumps or ejects blood.This stage is called your systolic
blood pressure.
Your blood pressure is lowest when the heart rests (in-between beats).This is called your diastolic blood pressure.
It is critical to maintain blood pressure values within a “normal” range in order to prevent cardiovascular diseases.
Increased blood pressure values (various forms of hypertension) have associated long and medium term health
risks.These risks concern the arterial blood vessels of your body, which are endangered due to constriction caused by
deposits in the vessel walls (arteriosclerosis).A deficient supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles)
can be the result. Furthermore,with long-term increased blood pressure values, the heart will become structurally
damaged.
There are many different causes of the appearance 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,at rest, the diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg or the systolic blood pressure is
over 140 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.
Should the systolic blood pressure values lie between 140 mmHg and 160 mmHg or the diastolic blood pressure
values lie between 90 mmHg and 95 mmHg, consult your doctor. Regular self-checks will be necessary.
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.
Even with normal blood pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood pressure monitor is recommended.
This way you can detect possible changes in your values early and react appropriately.
Refer to the following table for classifying blood pressure values (units: mmHg) according to the World Health
Organization (WHO):
Category Systolic Blood Pressure Diastolic Blood Pressure
Optimal < 120 < 80
Normal < 130 < 85
High Normal 130 - 139 85 - 89
Hypertension
•Stage1:Mild 140 - 159 90 - 99

•Stage2:Moderate 160 - 179 100 - 109
•Stage3:Severe >180 >110
Isolated Systolic Hypertension >140 < 90
ImportantforCanadians: The Canadian Hypertension Education Program (CHEP) recommends that
patients with average measurements of 135mmHg (systolic) or 85mgHg (diastolic) at home be
considered hypertensive. Should your average readings be in this range, consult your physician.
For further information, see our website www.biosmedical.com.
If your values are mostly “normal” under resting conditions but exceptionally high under conditions of physical or
psychological stress,it is possible that you are suffering from so-called ”labile hypertension”. In any case, please
discuss the values with your doctor.
Correctly measured diastolic blood-pressure values above 120mmHg require immediate medical treatment.
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.

Your blood pressure also increases and decreases under the following circumstances
Bloodpressureishigherthannormal:
 •whenyouareexcited,nervous,ortense

 •afterconsumingalcohol
 •aftertakingabath
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.
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BeforeMeasuring
• Avoideating,smokingaswellasallformsofexertiondirectlybeforethemeasurement.Allthesefactors
influence the measurement result.Relax by sitting in an armchair or at a table in a quiet atmosphere for about
5 minutes before the measurement.
• Alwaystakemeasurementsonthesamearm(normallyleft)andinthesameposture.Donotswitchbetween
right and left arms while recording your blood pressure as there may be a difference of up to 10mmHg
pressure between the two arms.

the course of the day. The ideal time to measure your blood pressure is in the morning after you wake up,
before breakfast and physical activity,and in the absence of the urge to urinate.
• Restfor5minutessittingquietlyandreleaseallthetensioninyourbody—especiallythearmmuscles—before
beginning with the measurement.Remain calm and quiet when the measurement is in process. Do not speak
or move your arm (as well as other body) muscles during the process.
• Ideally,youwillbesittingatatablewithbothfeetontheoor,andyourarmrestingonthetablewiththecuff
at heart level.
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 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 braechial artery.
c) Pull the cuff and tighten it by attaching the Velcro®fastener. Normally,
the left arm is used,unless there is a physical reason for using the
right arm.
a)
b)
c)

d) The cuff should fit snugly around the arm, but not too tight.You
should be able to fit two fingers under the cuff.
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:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be placed on the right arm. However all measurements
should be made using the same arm.
Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions (Relax for several minutes before
taking a measurement).

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 “0” 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.
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 “CL”
appears when the power is off. Press the START/STOP button until “CL” flashes 3 times to clear the memory. After
this, press either the “+” or “-” button, the symbols “ ” and “no” will appear on the screen. This means that the
memory has successfully cleared.

3.9BloodPressureAssesment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/orange) or danger (red) range.
The classification is based on standards adopted from
WHO (World Health Organization); which is recognized
by Hypertension Canada.
The indicator bar rises according to your measurement.
• Ifyourmeasurementhasonlyoneortwobars,

4. Error Messages / Malfunctions
If an error occurs during a measurement the LCD displays the corresponding error code.
Error Possible Cause Remedy
E-1 Weak signal or a sudden change in pressure Ensure that the cuff is worn correctly and mea-
sure again.Avoid movement or talking when
the cuff is being inflated.
E-2 External disturbance (eg. if there is a cell phone
near by)

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fre-
quently experience anxiety which can result in
a higher blood pressure reading than at home.
