1.1 Features
The BD850 is a fully automatic, digital, blood pressure measuring device with a unique fuzzy logic technology
as well as patented MAM and PAD technologies. It can store up to 99 blood pressure readings for each of the
two users.
It provides a fast and reliable measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as heart rate using
the oscillometric measurement method.
MAM - Averaging Mode
technology used in the device provides accurate measurements. Using three
consecutive measurements, your result is calculated and displayed as a single averaged measurement
on the display screen.
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.

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.
