1. Introduction Thank you for purchasing the BIOS Diagnostics™ Ultra Blood Pressure Monitor with Atrial Fibrillation Screening. 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.
1.2 Important Information Refer to the following sections to learn about important safety instructions and how to take care of the BIOS Diagnostics™ Ultra Blood Pressure Monitor with Atrial Fibrillation Screening. 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 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 a consultation with your doctor. •...
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.
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.
mmHg Time 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”.
1.6C Medical Benefits • Improved accuracy 1.6D Measurement Sequence • Single results are not displayed • Due to the “Data Analysis” result, a 4th or 5th measurement may be applied. The following illustration provides a flow chart of the MAM Sequence 1.7 Important Facts About Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB) 1.7A What is Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB)? Normally, your heart contracts and relaxes to a regular beat.

2.2 About the LCD Screen The LCD screen displays the systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurements along with your heart rate. It also displays previously recorded measurements and the date and time, when the appropriate button is pressed. Symbol Guide Systolic Blood Pressure (mmHg) Atrial Fribrillation...
2.4 Using the AC Adapter You may also operate this monitor using the included AC adapter (output 6V DC/600 mA with DIN plug). Use only the included AC adapter to avoid damaging the unit. 1. Ensure that the AC adapter and cable are not damaged. 2.
3.2 Measurement Mode Selection (MAM or Single) Clinical studies demonstrate taking multiple blood pressure readings and calculating an “average” is more likely to determine your true blood pressure. Your premium blood pressure unit allows you to switch the unit to an Average Mode setting that automatically takes multiple readings! Average Mode Slide Switch (MAM): a) If you would like to take an Average Mode measurement, move the slide switch to the right.
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.
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.
cuff begins to inflate while the increasing cuff pressure is displayed on the screen. After the suitable inflation pressure is reached, the cuff stops inflating and the pressure gradually falls. A long beep sounds when the measurement is completed. The systolic and diastolic blood pressure values along with the pulse rate are displayed on the screen.
3.6 BP 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/orange) or danger (red) range.
3.10 Determining Your “Real” Average Blood Pressure at Home It is normal for blood pressure to vary significantly in the middle of the day when most people are busy with their daily tasks. Hypertension Canada recommends measuring in the morning and evening to avoid variability.
4. Software Functions This unit can be used in connection with your personal computer running the Blood Pressure Analyzer Software. The software will allow a capacity of monitoring 80 patients, each with 1000 data (Note: overuse will lower system efficiency). The memory data can be transferred to the computer by connecting the monitor via USB cable with your computer.
