Premium Blood Pressure Monitor. Designed for convenient and

1.1 Features
The BD215 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 senses 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.
