Protocol Software (7D Mode) - BIOS Diagnostics PROTOCOL 7D MII BD250 Instruction Manual

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 will appear on the screen
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 ST button to power the
monitor OFF.
Preparation for measurement:
— Rest for 5 minutes before taking a measurement
— Sit at a table with your arm supported and legs uncrossed
— Avoid all movement and muscle tension
— Breathe normally and do not speak
— Wait at least 1 minute between consecutive measurements
— AM & PM measurements should be taken 10-12 hours apart
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 (wait 30 minutes).
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.
