Important Product and Safety Information
Follow Instructions for Use. This document provides
important product operation and safety information regarding
this Blood Pressure Monitor. Please read this document
thoroughly before using the device and keep for future
reference.
This blood pressure monitor is an automatic digital blood pressure measuring device for use by adults, on the upper arm at home or in the doctor’s
office. It enables a very fast and reliable measurement of the systolic and
diastolic blood pressure, as well as the pulse rate, by way of the oscillometric method during cuff inflation. This device detects the appearance of
irregular heartbeats during measurement and provides a warning signal
when the irregular heartbeat is detected. The device can be connected via
Bluetooth to a smart mobile device running the App.
This blood pressure monitor IS intended to be used:
•
For self-measurement/monitoring of blood pressure and pulse in adults;
whereas the person being measured may be the user/operator of the
device.
•
Within a home healthcare environment.
•
With a cuff located upon the user’s upper arm; ½ inch above the elbow
over the artery as indicated on the cuff.
This blood pressure monitor IS NOT intended for use with:
•
Pregnancy
•
Preeclampsia
•
Children under 12
•
Neonatal patients
WARNING – Potentially hazardous situation that if not avoided may result in serious injury or death.
•
Self-measuring means monitoring, not diagnosis or treatment. Unusual
values must always be discussed with your doctor. Under no circumstances should you independently alter the dosages of any drugs
prescribed by your physician.
•
Consult your physician before using this device if any of the following or
similar conditions are present: arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular
premature beats or atrial fibrillation, arterial sclerosis, poor perfusion,
diabetes, age, pregnancy, preeclampsia, renal diseases. Motion during
2
measurement, including trembling or shivering may affect the measurement.
•
Though not for use with children under 12, ensure that any children
around this device are supervised; some parts are small enough to be
swallowed and any present tubes or cables may provide a risk of
strangulation.
•
Ensure the cuff tubing is not kinked during use as harmful injury may
occur due to the effect of blood flow interference caused by high pressure
in the cuff not releasing.
DO NOT:
Use this device if you think it is damaged or anything appears unusual
(e.g. sporadic operation, open packaging upon purchase).
Use the displayed pulse for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers
as this device is not suitable for this action.
Open/modify this device; inaccuracy and/or harmful injury may result.
Conduct many frequent measurements as this may result in harmful
injury due to blood flow interference.
Place the Cuff over a wound as this may cause further injury.
Place and pressurize the Cuff over/near any present intravascular access
or therapy, or arteriovenous shunt, as this may cause blood flow interference and result in harmful injury.
Place and pressurize the Cuff over a limb near the side of a mastectomy
as this may cause harmful injury.
Use the Blood Pressure Monitor on a limb simultaneously with other medical
equipment on the same limb due to possible interference with such medical
equipment.
Maintain pressure in the Cuff applied to the limb for a prolonged amount
of time. Ensure that circulation in the limb is not impaired by checking
circulation if prolonged/repeated exposure to pressure occurs.
Service the device when being used or when power is supplied. When
the device is not in use and power is removed, cuff assembly, batteries
and ac adapter (if applicable) may be replaced by the user with Microlife
supplied replacements. No other parts/components are accessible.
CAUTION – Potentially hazardous situation that if not avoided may result in minor/moderate injury, property damage, and/or damage to the device
•
This device contains sensitive electronics components. Avoid strong
3
electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device
(e.g., mobile telephones, microwave ovens). These can lead to temporary
impairment of the measuring accuracy. Move the device to another
location if interference is determined.
• When not using the Blood Pressure Monitor for extended lengths of
time, remove the batteries to avoid potential battery leakage and
damage to the monitor.
• When replacing the batteries, ensure all the batteries are replaced
simultaneously to avoid battery damage and potential damage to the
monitor. Microlife USA does not recommend using rechargeable batteries.
• To avoid inaccurate measurements and to lessen any discomfort from
Cuff pressure, ensure the Cuff is placed correctly on the limb and fits
correctly when snug (not tight), as indicated by markings with the Cuff.
• Consult your physician in cases of frequent irregular heartbeat
detections.
• This Risk Indicator feature is provided in order to help you understand
your potential blood pressure risk. However, this feature is neither a
diagnosis nor a substitute for a medical examination. It is important to
consult with your physician to determine your risk.
DO NOT:
Drop this device or expose it to strong vibrations; sensitive components
may be affected resulting in inaccuracies and/or operational issues.
Use the Blood Pressure Monitor outside of its specified operation
temperature and humidity rating, or if stored outside of its specified
storage temperature and humidity rating. Avoid storage in direct
sunlight.
Use this device in a moving vehicle; inaccurate measurements may
result.
Use third party accessories. Only use Microlife authorized accessories,
such as cuffs or AC adapters, as those not approved for use with the
device may provide inaccurate measurements, injury, and/or damage the
device.

2.2. Wide Range Cuff:
For arm circumference 8.7” - 16.5” (22 cm - 42 cm)
If you ever need to buy a replacement cuff, call
us toll-free at 1-800-568-4147.
Anti-Slip Cuff:
Your wide range cuff is equipped anti-slip grips
that ease the process of correctly positioning the
cuff on your arm.
Cuff Sizing:
The proper fit is essential for accurate blood
pressure readings. The average arm circumference
for a woman is 11", and the average for a man is
13". This cuff can accommodate arm circumferences
from 8.7" to 16.5" and fits most adults.
Arm circumference should be measured with a
measuring tape in the middle of the relaxed upper
arm. If the cuff is too small, call 1-800-568-4147 for
additional information.
Note:
• Do not force cuff connection into the opening.
• Make sure the cuff connection is not pushed into
the AC adapter port.
