If you have been diagnosed with hypertension, it is important to regularly check your blood pressure. (This applies even if you are taking blood pressure medications.) Investing in a blood pressure monitor to use at home is a good way to check your blood pressure between visits to the doctor. Home monitoring allows people with hypertension take an active role in their treatment. New blood pressure measuring systems by BIOS Diagnostics™ make taking your blood pressure reading an easy, accurate and comfortable process that you can accomplish easily in your own home or in the office. Each model of monitor uses superior technology to ensure that your readings are as accurate as possible and comes with a lifetime guarantee.

Please remember that, while testing between doctor visits is a convenient way to monitor your progress, regular visits to your doctor are essential to make sure that your treatment is working effectively.

Blood Pressure Monitors
An Update

If you have been diagnosed with high blood pressure (hypertension), you will want to check your blood pressure regularly. While blood pressure monitoring stations are present in the pharmacy at your local London Drugs, many people prefer the convenience of testing their blood pressure at home or in the office.

New blood pressure home monitoring systems by BIOS Diagnostics™ make checking your blood pressure easy, convenient and - most important - accurate. You can choose from a number of models, designed to fit your budget and lifestyle. The BIOS Diagnostics™ BD 400 Premium Accuracy Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor consists of a compact meter worn on the wrist, and a storage case that doubles as a wrist support. This fully automatic, digital blood pressure measuring device enables fast and reliable measurements of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as pulse frequency. The state-of-the-art monitor uses fuzzy logic intelligence to sense both your systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, resulting in a personalized cuff inflation with every reading.

The BD 400 incorporates exclusive MAM technology, which takes monitoring to a new level. Based on medical protocol, MAM technology takes the average of three successive blood pressure measurements, delivering a more accurate reading. (The system has received the highest accuracy rating from the British Hypertension Society, the most highly recognized international blood pressure organization.)

The BD 400 records the last 60 readings (30 readings for each of two people); has easy, one-touch operation and comes with a PC-link analyzer software CD.

Also available from London Drugs is the more price-conscious BIOS Diagnostics™ BD 500 Premium Accuracy Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor, with slightly different features.

The BIOS Diagnostics™ Premium Accuracy Blood Pressure Monitor is a free-standing monitor that also utilizes MAM technology. The monitor comes with a latex-free, contoured cuff and recalls the last 60 readings (30 each for two users).

The BIOS Diagnostics™ Fully Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor is a simpler free-standing meter that recalls the last reading. The meter comes with a latex-free cuff and has convenient, one-touch operation and an easy-to-read screen.

All BIOS Diagnostics™ blood pressure monitors meet the strict testing standards of the AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation).
