Page 5: Introduction
Indications for Use: This blood pressure monitor (BD313) is intended to measure the systolic/diastolic pressure, and pulse rate of an adult individual by using a non-invasive oscillometric technology. This device is designed to be portable, and used in both home and professional environments for every day blood pressure monitoring. -

1.2 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. -

Page 8: Normal Blood Pressure Values
1.4 Normal Blood Pressure Values When rested, and measuring your blood pressure at home, measurements with diastolic pressure readings above 85 mmHg or systolic readings over 135 mmHg are considered high. If you obtain consistent readings in this range, consult your doctor immediately. -

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 and reliable readings. • If the arm artery lies considerably lower or higher than the heart, an erroneous value of blood pressure is measured. - Page 14 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.

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. -
Page 16: Determining Your "Real" Average Blood Pressure At Home
3.5 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. At the end of a measurement, this instrument automatically stores each result, including date and time. -

RESULTS Discard Day 1 measurements. Average your day 2-7 measurements = Average ≤ ≥ 135 / 85 mmHg = NO 135 / 85 mmHg = No Hypertension Yes Hypertension *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. -

Page 19: Comparing Readings To Other Blood Pressure Devices
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”. - Page 20 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.
