Trusted by Canadians for 3 Generations

At BIOS DiagnosticsTM, we are proud of our legacy in blood pressure monitoring in Canada.

From the early 1930’s to 1987 we manufactured “Tycos” brand professional blood pressure

equipment for doctors and hospitals in Canada.

In the 1970’s we pioneered the rst blood pressure devices for monitoring at home, and in the

1980’s we introduced digital technology in Canada. We haven’t been counting, but we know

that millions of our home-use monitors have been used by Canadians in the last 30 years.

All BIOS DiagnosticsTM devices are developed in collaboration with physicians and clinically

tested to prove their measurement accuracy. For more information on clinical tests and other

BIOS Medical products, visit our website at www.biosmedical.com.

Blood Pressure Monitor

Instruction Manual

1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the BIOS DiagnosticsTM Protocol 7D Blood Pressure Monitor. 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 your healthy blood pressure level.

1.1 Features

The blood pressure monitor uses oscillometric technology to measure the arterial blood pressure and pulse rate.

The cuff is wrapped around the arm and automatically inflated by the air pump. The sensor in the device detects

weak fluctuation of the pressure in the cuff produced by extension and contraction of the artery of the arm in

response to each heartbeat. The amplitude of the pressure waves is measured, converted in millimeters of the

mercury column and is shown on the display.

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.

Your blood pressure level is determined in the circulatory centre of your brain. Your nervous system allows your

body to adapt or alter blood pressure in response to different situations. Your body alters your pulse or heart

rate and the width of blood vessels through changes in muscles in the walls of blood vessels.

Your blood pressure reading is highest when your heart pumps or ejects blood. This stage is called your

systolic blood pressure.

Your blood pressure is lowest when the heart rests (in-between beats). This stage is called your diastolic

blood pressure.

It is critical to maintain blood pressure values within a “normal” range in order to prevent cardiovascular

diseases. Increased blood pressure values (various forms of hypertension) have associated long and medium

term health risks. These risks concern the arterial blood vessels of your body, which are endangered due to

constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls (arteriosclerosis). A deficient supply of blood to important

organs (heart, brain, muscles) can be the result. Furthermore, with long-term increased blood pressure values,

the heart will become structurally damaged.

There are many different causes of the appearance 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

Blood pressure is too high when, at rest, the diastolic pressure is above 85 mmHg or the systolic blood pressure

is over 135 mmHg (140 mmHg/ 90 mmHg when taken in medical office).

If you obtain 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.

Should the systolic blood pressure values lie between 135 mmHg and 160 mmHg or the diastolic blood pressure

values lie between 85 mmHg and 95 mmHg, consult your doctor. Regular self-checks will be necessary.

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.

Even with normal blood pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood pressure monitor is recommended.

This way you can detect possible changes in your values early and react appropriately.

Important for Canadians: Hypertension Canada recommends that patients with average

measurements of 135 mmHg (systolic) or 85 mmHg (diastolic) at home be considered

hypertensive. Should your average readings be in this range, consult your physician.

For further information, see our website www.biosmedical.com.

If your values are mostly “normal” under resting conditions but exceptionally high under conditions of physical

or psychological stress, it is possible that you are suffering from so-called ”labile hypertension”. In any case,

please discuss the values with your doctor.

Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120 mmHg require immediate medical treatment.

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.

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.
