Indications for Use: This blood pressure monitor (BD410) is intended to measure the systolic and diastolic pressure 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 Important Information Refer to the following sections to learn about important safety instructions and how to take care of the BIOS Diagnostics™ Blood Pressure Monitor – Automatic AFIB. 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 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.
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. High blood pressure values over time can damage blood vessels, vital organs such as the kidney, and your heart.
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”.
AFIB is the first step in proactive stroke prevention. 2. Getting Started 2.1 About the BD410 a) This section describes the various components of the Blood Pressure Monitor. b) Upper arm cuffs: •...
• BD41SC Soft Cuff (Standard Wide Range) (Accessory Item Sold Separately) Type BD41SC wide range cuff is for an arm circumference of 22-44 cm (9” - 17”) 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.
NOTE: When adapter is removed from the device, the date/time will need to be reset. 3. Using the Device This section describes how to get the maximum benefit from your BD410 blood pressure monitor. Follow the instructions carefully to get an accurate measurement of your blood pressure and pulse rate.
3.2 Selecting the User 1. Start by pressing the [ ] to turn the device on. 2. Using the [<]/[>] buttons, select user 1, 2, 3, or 4. Confirm this selection by pressing the [ ] button. 3.3 Measurement Mode Selection (Single or AFIB) NOTE: The device is automatically set to Single measurement mode.

3.4 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. 3.4A Tips on Taking Accurate Measurements In the morning before breakfast, 2 hours after dinner, before taking Empty bladder (if necessary).
3.4C Fitting the Easy Fit Cuff a) The Easy-Fit Cuff comes ready to use! In preparation for fitting the cuff to your arm size, you will want to start by loosening it. Holding the cuff so that the tubing is facing away from you, grab the adjustable dial and pull up until you hear a ‘click’.
h) More than 6 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.
3.7 Appearance of the Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB) Indicator (only in AFIB Detection mode) This symbol [ ] indicates that atrial fibrillation was detected during the measurement. If AFIB is present during blood pressure measurement, the AFIB Indicator is displayed. The AFIB symbol [ ] will blink after the measurement is complete (if detected).
3.9 Viewing Previous Measurement Values The blood pressure monitor automatically stores your measurements. It can store up to 240 measurements per user. When more than 240 measurements in a user’s profile are present, the oldest readings are deleted to make space for the new ones. a) To view the previously stored values, in standby mode press the [M] button to enter the memory mode.
3.10 Clearing Measurement Values a) Press the [M] button to enter into the user memory information. b) With a reading showing, press and hold down the [<] and [>] buttons simultaneously for approximately 7 seconds until [CL] and [00] are displayed on the screen c) All measurement data for the selected user has now been erased.
