The BIOS Automatic Professional Blood Pressure Monitor delivers advanced clinical accuracy and automation for healthcare professionals. Recommended by Hypertension Canada and licensed by Health Canada, it provides reliable and consistent results for diagnosing and monitoring patients with hypertension or cardiac irregularities. Designed to meet professional standards, it automatically averages multiple readings to ensure precision and consistency while screening for arrhythmias such as AFIB, bradycardia, tachycardia, and premature contractions.

Key Features & Benefits

• Clinically Validated Accuracy: Meets Hypertension Canada’s 2018 Automated Office Measurement guidelines.
• Automatic Multi-Reading Function: Performs 3 sequential measurements (with 1, 3, or 5-minute intervals) and averages results for higher accuracy.
• Arrhythmia Detection: Screens for AFIB, premature contraction, bradycardia, tachycardia, and non-specific arrhythmias.
• Multiple Measurement Modes: Choose between Automatic, Professional/Pulse Scan, or Auscultation modes.
• Loose Cuff Detection: Alerts if the cuff is improperly applied for improved reliability.
• Comprehensive Cuff Set: Includes small, medium, and large cuffs to accommodate a range of arm sizes.
• Professional-Grade Design: Ideal for clinical, hospital, and long-term care use.
• Automatic Averaging Display: Shows the average systolic, diastolic, and pulse/min readings.
• Pulse Scan Technology: Identifies irregular pulse rhythms during normal BP measurement for further clinical evaluation.
• Auto Shut-Off: Powers down after 5 minutes to conserve energy.

Measurement Modes

• Fully Automatic Mode: Takes 3 sequential measurements after a rest period (0–5 min) and averages the results automatically.
• Professional / Pulse Scan Mode: Detects pulse arrhythmia during measurement and flags potential irregularities for further ECG investigation.
• Auscultation Mode: Enables manual Korotkoff sound listening (requires stethoscope). Press “S” to mark K1 (first sound) and K5 (last sound).

Recommended Technique

To ensure accurate and reproducible results, follow Hypertension Canada’s Automated Office Protocol:

1. Have the patient sit comfortably with back supported and legs uncrossed.
2. Take one manual reading to confirm cuff size and placement.
3. Allow the patient to rest alone for 5 minutes.
4. Initiate the automatic measurement sequence (3 readings averaged).
