1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the BIOS Diagnostics™ Premium 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 a healthy blood pressure level.

1.1 Features

The 3AL1-3E is a fully automatic, digital, blood pressure measuring device with a unique fuzzy logic technology and a 

large LCD screen. It can store up to 99 blood pressure readings for each of the 2 users.
It provides a fast and reliable measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as heart rate using the 

oscillometric measurement method.
•  

PAD - Pulse Arrythmia Detector

 technology displays pulse irregularities detected during a blood pressure 

reading. However, if the PAD symbol 

 appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with measurement 

taken daily), we advise you to consult your doctor.

•  

BP Assessment Indicator

 displays the range between which your blood pressure values lie.

•  

Medication Reminder 

allows you to program 2 daily alarms as a reminder to take medication or blood pressure.

•  

Memory Feature

 2 users, 99 blood pressure readings each with time and date.

This device is easy to use and has been proven in clinical studies to provide excellent accuracy. Before using the 

3AL1-3E, read this instruction manual carefully and keep it in a safe place.

1.2 Important Information

Refer to the following sections to learn about important safety instructions and how to take care of the BIOS 

Diagnostics™ Premium Blood Pressure Monitor.

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 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.
