Blood Pressure Monitor – Simplicity
Instruction Manual

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the BIOS Diagnostics™ Blood Pressure Monitor – Simplicity. 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. You can then use this record to assist your physician in diagnosing and maintaining a healthy blood pressure level.

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 non-invasive oscillometric technology. This device is designed to be portable and used in both home and professional environments for everyday blood pressure monitoring.

1.1 Features
The BD313 uses oscillometric technology to measure arterial blood pressure and pulse rate. The cuff is wrapped around the arm and automatically inflated by the air pump. The device senses weak fluctuations of pressure within the cuff produced by the extension and contraction of the arm’s artery in response to each heartbeat. The amplitude of the pressure waves is measured, converted into millimeters of the mercury column, and is shown on the display.

• Memory Features 30 blood pressure readings with time and date.
• BP Assessment Indicator displays the range between which your blood pressure values lie, according to Hypertension Canada.
• Detects Irregular Heartbeat
• Averaging – Averages all stored readings
• Time and Date

This device is easy to use and has been proven in clinical studies to provide excellent accuracy. Before using the BD313, read this instruction manual carefully and keep it in a safe place.
The blood pressure monitor meets the accuracy requirements of Hypertension Canada and has been tested for clinical accuracy.

1.2 Safety Information

• Self-measurement means to control, not diagnose or treat. 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. Never alter the dosages of any medication without direction from your doctor.

• Your blood pressure depends on several factors, such as age, gender, weight, and physical condition. It also 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.

• Try to record your blood pressure regularly at the same time of the day and under the same conditions. This will help your physician detect any extreme variations in your blood pressure and thus treat you accordingly.

• Morning Hypertension (>135 / 85 mmHg): Recently, several studies have identified elevated cardiovascular risks (heart failure, stroke, angina) associated with “morning hypertension”. There is a typical rise in blood pressure during the physiological changes from sleep to arising for the day.

• The ideal time to measure your blood pressure is in the morning just after you wake up, before breakfast and any physical activity, and in the absence of the urge to urinate.  If this is not possible, try to take the measurements later in the morning, before you start any physical activity. Relax for a few minutes before you record your blood pressure.

• Your blood pressure increases or decreases under the following circumstances:
  Blood pressure is higher than normal:
  — When you are excited, nervous, or tense
  — While taking a bath
  — During and after exercise or strenuous physical activity
  — When it is cold
  — Within one hour after meals
  — After drinking tea, coffee, or other caffeinated drinks
  — After smoking tobacco
  — When your bladder is full
  Blood pressure is lower than normal:
  — After consuming alcohol
  — After taking a bat

• The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of the heart pacemakers.

• 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 consultation with your doctor.

• Take care while handling the batteries in the device. Incorrect usage may cause battery fluid leakage. To prevent such accidents, refer to the following instructions:
  — Insert batteries with the correct polarity.
  — Turn off the power after use. Remove and store the batteries if you are not planning to use the device for an extended period of time.
  — Do not mix different types, brands, or sizes of batteries. This may cause damage to the product
  — Do not mix old and new batteries.
  — Remove batteries and dispose of them according to the proper regulations in your area.
  — Do not disassemble batteries or expose them to heat or fire.
  — Do not short-circuit the batteries.
  — Do not use rechargeable batteries.

1.3 What do your Numbers Mean

Blood pressure is the pressure in your blood vessels while blood circulates throughout your body. High blood pressure or “Hypertension” is the pressure at which one’s normal average blood pressure is considered too high and other health risks including heart attack, stroke, dementia, kidney failure, heart disease, and erectile dysfunction may occur. It is expressed as two numbers: systolic/diastolic 120 mmHg/ 80 mmHg (mmHg= millimeters of mercury). “Systolic” numbers refer to the pressure on the walls of your arteries while the heart is contracting and pushing blood. “Diastolic” pressure is the lower number when the heart is at rest and relaxed. A simple way to understand this is to picture a garden hose. When the tap is turned on, the immediate pressure on the walls of the hose is the “systolic” number, and when the tap is turned off it is the “diastolic” number.
There are many different causes 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
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.
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.

with your health care professional.
Lifestyle modifications may be required to avoid advancing into Hypertension.
140 – 159| 90 – 99| This is in the hypertension range. Discuss with your health care professional. Medication(s) and lifestyle modifications are typical treatments.
160 and higher| 100 +| Discuss with your medical professional, that medication(s) and lifestyle modifications are necessary to control your hypertension.

Adopted From: Understanding and Managing your blood pressure; Hypertension Canada.
Note: A diagnosis of high blood pressure must be confirmed with a medical professional. A doctor should evaluate any unusual blood pressure readings. Additionally, lower targets may be appropriate for some populations such as African-Americans, the elderly, or patients with underlying issues such as diabetes mellitus or chronic kidney disease.

Important for Canadians:

• Hypertension measured at home ≥ 135/85
• Hypertension measured at a physician’s office ≥ 140/ 90
• Hypertension measured at a physician’s office for a diabetic patient ≥ 130/80

5. Next, you will see “CL” on the display, press the MEM button to exit out of the setup, or see section 3.8 on how to Clear Measurements from Memory.
   NOTE: In order to change any setting you must repeat the process and confirm each setting by pushing the MEM button.

3.2 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.

3.2A Tips on Taking Accurate Measurements|
---|---
In the morning before breakfast, 2 hours after dinner, before taking medication.| Empty bladder (if necessary).
|
Avoid coffee and smoking within the hour, and no exercise 30 minutes before measuring.| Rest quietly for 5 minutes. Remain calm and quiet while the measurement is in process.
|
Do not speak while taking the measurement.| Take measurements on the non- dominant arm.
|
Sit with legs uncrossed so as not to restrict blood flow.| Sit with back supported and measurement arm resting on a table. Sit with feet flat on the floor.
| Ensure that the cuff is level with the heart while the arm is supported on the table.

3.2B Common Sources of Error
All efforts by the patient to support the arm can increase 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 in a peaceful and calm environment. Ensure that you take measurements under the same conditions to obtain an accurate and reliable reading.

• 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  45-second pause or after the arm has been held up in order to allow the accumulated blood to flow away.

3.2C Fitting the Wide Range Cuff
NOTE: Visit www.biosmedical.com for a video that illustrates how to properly fit the cuff.

a) Putting the cuff velcro side down on a table, the words on the cuff should be facing right side up. 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. Measure on your nondominant arm, unless there is a 10 mmHg difference with the other arm, in which case use the arm with the higher pressure.

b) Place the cuff around your bare 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 brachial artery.

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. Contact the store or BIOS Medical for other sized cuffs.

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 at 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) 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 the measurement.

j) If this device was stored at a low temperature, it is necessary to leave it at 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. Initially, check BP on both arms. If one arm is 10mmHg higher, continue to measure on that arm.
Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions (Relax for several minutes before taking a measurement).

ATTENTION: Do not use a cuff other than the original cuff contained in this kit!
3.3 Measuring Your Blood Pressure

After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can begin.

1. Press the START/STOP button until all symbols appear on the screen. You will hear 2 short beeps and will flash on the screen 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 higher 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 rates 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 an 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.

3.4 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.

3.5 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 the date and time.

Take: 2 measurements, 1 minute apart

• Empty bladder (If necessary)
• In the morning before breakfast, before taking medication
• Sit with back supported and measurement arm resting on a table. Sit with feet flat on the floor.

Take: 2 measurements, 1 minute apart

• Empty bladder (If necessary)
• 2 hours after dinner, before taking medication
• Sit with back supported and measurement arm resting on a table. Sit with feet flat on the floor.
• Avoid coffee and smoking within the hour, and no exercise 30 minutes before measuring.

RESULTS

Discard Day 1 measurements.
Average your day 2-7 measurements

= Average
≤ 135 / 85 mmHg = NO
No Hypertension

≥ 135 / 85 mmHg = YES
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.

3.6 Memory Recall
This blood pressure monitor automatically stores 30 measurements in its memory.
The oldest record will be replaced by the latest measurement value when there are more than 30 sets.

3.7 Recall the Memory with the Power Off
Press the MEM button, and the average of all the measurements will be shown, you will see “AV” on the bottom left-hand side of the screen.
Press the MEM button for a second time to see the most recent measurement value. Subsequent measurements can be displayed one after the other by pressing the MEM button.

3.8 Clear Measurements From Memory
If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored memories when the power is off, press and hold the MEM button and then press it 5 times until . appears. Press the START/STOP button until flashes 3 times to clear the memory. After this, press either the MEM button or the symbols and  will appear on the screen.  This means that the memory has successfully cleared.
3.9 Blood Pressure Assessment Indicator
The bars on the left-hand side of the display show you the range within which the indicated blood pressure values lie. Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either within the normal (green), borderline (yellow), or danger (red) range.

The classification is based on standards adopted by Hypertension Canada. The indicator bar rises according to your measurement.

• If your measurement has only one or two bars, your measurement is in the green zone, or “Normal”.
• If your measurement has three bars, it is in the yellow zone, or “High Normal”, in the prehypertensive range.
• If your measurement has four bars, it is in the red zone “High Blood Pressure with Self / Home Monitoring”.
• If your measurement has five bars, it is in the red zone or “Moderate to Severe Hypertension”.

Blood Pressure FAQ

a) Why is my blood pressure reading always different?****

Your blood pressure changes constantly. It is quite normal for blood pressure to fluctuate as much as 50 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.

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”.

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.

4.1 Common Blood Pressure Questions & Answers

4.2 Comparing Readings to Other Blood Pressure Devices
Many questions arise when two blood pressure devices are compared in an effort to check accuracy. An accurate comparison requires repeatable measurements under the same conditions to “reference device” with known accuracy. Significant time is required to reduce naturally occurring blood pressure variability during the test. The subject should be seated comfortably with feet flat on the floor, and have rested for 5 minutes before the first reading to allow blood pressure levels to stabilize. The patient’s 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 compared to an aneroid gauge or mercury column, observers should avoid parallax and be careful not to round measurements.
The most accurate way to compare devices is to take two readings at the same time. However, most people and doctors’ offices do not have the equipment necessary to measure blood pressure from two devices simultaneously. Taking sequential measurements properly requires a pair of initial measurements to determine the subject’s blood pressure level: first with the reference equipment, followed by 60 seconds, then with the monitor-under-test. The actual accuracy test 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.
Any comparisons without a known “reference device” and not following the procedures described above will yield unreliable results. In addition, to do an accuracy test properly the reference device must also be tested to a known reference to confirm its accuracy, prior to being used as the reference for comparisons.

Trouble Shooting

5.1. Error Messages / Malfunctions
If an error occurs during a measurement the LCD displays the corresponding error code. Error| Possible Cause| Remedy
---|---|---
| Weak signal or a sudden change in pressure| Ensure that the cuff is worn correctly and measure again. Avoid movement or talking when the cuff is inflated.
| External disturbance (eg. if there is a cell phone nearby)| Electromagnetic interference can cause odd behavior in the monitor. Move away from the source.
| Appears when there is an error during the inflation process| Make sure the cuff is wrapped around the arm properly and that the air plug is properly connected to the unit.
| Abnormal blood pressure| Rest for 5 minutes and try measurement again.
| Low battery| Replace batteries.

If problems occur when using the device the following points should be checked, and if necessary, the corresponding measures should be taken. 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 daily measurements for consultation with your doctor.
Note: Individuals visiting their doctor frequently experience anxiety which can result in a higher blood pressure reading than at home.

5.2 Calibration
Digital blood pressure monitors do not require regular recalibration unless the product has been dropped and internal parts have been damaged. If the unit turns on and does not display an error code, the product is working properly. In extremely rare cases, the cuff may have developed a pin-hole leak, or the gasket where the cuff connector enters the monitor may not have a proper seal; both of these leaking air issues will potentially cause errors in accuracy, but otherwise, the product will work accurately without drifting out of calibration.

Care and Maintenance

For the prolonged life of your blood pressure monitor, note the following instructions:
a) Do not drop or bang the unit. Prevent sudden jerks, jars, or shocks to the device to prevent damage.
b) Do not insert any foreign objects in any device openings or vents.
c) Do not expose the device to either extreme temperatures, humidity, dust, or direct sunlight. Allow the device to reach room temperature before use.
d) The cuff contains a sensitive air-tight bubble. Handle this carefully and avoid all types of stress through twisting or buckling.
e) Clean the device with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use gas, thinners, or similar solvents. Spots on the cuff can be removed carefully with a damp cloth and soapsuds. The cuff with the bladder must not be washed in a dishwasher, clothes washer, or submerged in water.
f) Handle the tube carefully. Do not pull on it. Do not allow the tubing to kink and keep it away from sharp edges.
g) Do not disassemble the unit. This invalidates the manufacturer’s warranty.
h) Ensure that children do not use this device unsupervised; some parts are small enough to be swallowed.
i) Batteries and electronic instruments must be disposed of in accordance with the locally applicable regulations, not with domestic waste.
j) Do not use close to strong electromagnetic fields, such as mobile telephones or radio installations. Keep a distance from such devices when using this unit. (The use of this monitor in the immediate vicinity of devices with strong electromagnetic fields may result in impaired functioning).
k) Do not use the device if you think it is damaged, or if anything appears unusual.
