1. Important Facts about Blood Pressure and SelfMeasurement
•
Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood flowing in the
arteries generated by the pumping of the heart. Two values, the
systolic (upper) value and the diastolic (lower) value, are
always measured.
•
The instrument also indicates the pulse rate (the number of
times the heart beats in a minute).
•
Permanently high blood pressure values can damage
your health and must be treated by your doctor!
•
Always discuss your values with your doctor and tell him/her if
you have noticed anything unusual or feel unsure. Never rely
on single blood pressure readings.
•
Enter your readings in the enclosed blood pressure diary. This
will give your doctor a quick overview.
•
There are many causes of excessively
lues
. Your doctor will explain them in more detail and offer treatment where appropriate. Besides medication, relaxation techniques, weight loss and exercise can also lower your blood pressure.
•
Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of
any drugs prescribed by your doctor!
•
Depending on physical exertion and condition, blood pressure is
subject to wide fluctuations as the day progresses.
therefore take your measu rements in the same quiet conditions and when you feel relaxed!
ments per day, one in the morning and one in the evening.
•
It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succession to produce significantly different results.
•
Deviations between measurements taken by your doctor or in
the pharmacy and those taken at home are quite normal, as
these situations are completely different.
•
Several measurements provide a much clearer picture than
just one single measurement.

•
Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two

•
If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure
very closely as it can change drastically during this time!
•
If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat, measurements
taken with this instrument should only be evaluated after
consultation with your doctor.
•
The pulse display is not suitable for checking the
frequency of heart pacemakers!

2. Important facts about atrial fibrillation (AFIB)
What is Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB)?
Normally, your heart contracts and relaxes to a regular beat.
Certain cells in your heart produce electrical signals that cause the
heart to contract and pump blood. Atrial fibrillation occurs when
rapid, disorganized electrical signals are present in the heart’s two
upper chambers, called the atria; causing them to contract quickly
fast and irregularly (this is called fibrillation). Atrial fibrillation is
the most common form of heart arrhythmia or irregular heart beat.
You can live with atrial fibrillation, but it can lead to other rhythm
problems, chronic fatigue, heart failure and - worst of all - a stroke.
You’ll need a doctor to help you control the problem.
How does AFIB impact my family or me?
One in every six strokes is AFIB-related. Whilst individuals above
the age of 65 are more likely to have AFIB, individuals as young as
40 can exhibit AFIB. Early diagnosis can help reduce the risk of a
stroke.
Microlife AFIB detection provides a convenient way to screen for AFIB (only in MAM mode)
Knowing your blood pressure and knowing whether or not you or
your family members have AFIB can help reduce the risk of stroke.
Microlife AFIB detection provides a convenient way to screen for
AFIB whilst taking your blood pressure.
Risk factors you can control
High blood pressure and AFIB are both considered «controllable»
risk factors for strokes. Knowing your blood pressure and knowing
whether or not you have AFIB is the first step in proactive stroke
prevention.
3. Using the Instrument for the First Time

Selecting the correct cuff
Microlife offers different cuff sizes. Select the cuff size to match
the circumference of your upper arms (measured by close fitting in
the centre of the upper arm).
Cuff size for circumference of upper arm
S 17 - 22 cm (6.75 - 8.75 inches)
M 22 - 32 cm (8.75 - 12.5 inches)
L 32 - 42 cm (12.5 - 16.5 inches)
M - L 22 - 42 cm (8.75 - 16.5 inches)
Optional preformed cuffs «Easy» are available.
)
Only use Microlife cuffs.
)
X
Contact Microlife Service if the enclosed cuff 6 does not fit.
X
Connect the cuff to the instrument by inserting the cuff
connector 7 into the cuff socket 4 as far as it will go.
Select the measuring mode: standard or MAM mode
This instrument enables you to select either standard (standard
single measurement) or MAM mode (automatic triple measurement). To select standard mode, slide the MAM switch AK on the
side of the instrument downwards to position «1» and to select
MAM mode, slide this switch upwards to position «3».
MAM Mode
In MAM mode, 3 measurements are automatically taken in succession and the result is then automatically analysed and displayed.
Because the blood pressure constantly fluctuates, a result determined in this way is more reliable than one produced by a single
measurement. AFIB detection is activated in MAM mode.
•
After pressing the ON/OFF button 1, the selected MAM mode
appears in the display as the MAM-symbol BK.
•
The bottom, right hand section of the display shows a 1, 2 or 3 to
indicate which of the 3 measurements is currently being taken.
•
There is a break of 15 seconds between the measurements
(15 seconds are adequate according to «Blood Pressure Monitoring, 2001, 6:145-147» for oscillometric instruments). A count
down indicates the remaining time and a beep will sound
5 seconds before the 2nd and 3rd readings will begin.
•
The individual results are not displayed. Your blood pressure
will only be displayed after all 3 measurements are taken.
•
Do not remove the cuff between measurements.
•
If one of the individual measurements was questionable, a
fourth one is automatically taken.

4. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement using this Instrument
Checklist for taking a reliable measurement
1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the
measurement.
2. Sit down for at least 5 minutes before the measurement and
relax.
3. Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
4. Remove close-fitting garments from the upper arm. To avoid
constriction, shirt sleeves should not be rolled up - they do
not interfere with the cuff if they are laid flat.
5. Always ensure that the cuff is positioned correctly, as shown
in the pictures illustrated on the short instruction card.
• Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.
• Make sure that the cuff is 2 cm (0.75 inch) above your
elbow with the tube on the inside of your arm.
• Support your arm so it is relaxed.
• Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.
6. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to start the measurement.
7. The cuff will now pump up automatically. Relax, do not move
and do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement
result is displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.
8. When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops
and the pressure falls gradually. If the required pressure was
not reached, the instrument will automatically pump some
more air into the cuff.
9. During the measurement, the heart symbol BT flashes in the
display every time a heartbeat is detected.
10. The result, comprising the systolic AM and the diastolic AN
blood pressure and the pulse AO is displayed. Note also the
explanations on further displays in this booklet.
11. When the measurement has finished, remove the cuff.
12. Enter the result in the enclosed blood pressure pass and
switch off the instrument. (The monitor does switch off automatically after approx. 1 min.).
How not to store a reading
Press the ON/OFF button 1 while the reading is being displayed.
Keep the button pressed until «M» AS is flashing and then release
it. Confirm by pressing the M-button.
You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
)
ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant
pressure sensation).
If the systolic blood pressure is known to be very high
)
it can be an advantage to set the pressure individually. Press
the ON/OFF button after the monitor has been pumped up to
a level of approx. 30 mmHg (shown on the display). Keep the
button pressed until the pressure is about 40 mmHg above
the expected systolic value – then release the button.
5. Appearance of the Atrial Fibrillation Indicator for early Detection (only in MAM mode)
This symbol AP indicates that an atrial fibrillation was detected
during the measurement. This device is able to detect atrial fibrillation (AFIB). If AFIB is present during blood pressure measurement, the AFIB Indicator is displayed. In this case, the result may
deviate from your normal blood pressure. It is highly recommended
to take an additional measurement an hour later to increase the
specificity of the detection. In most cases, this is no cause for
concern. However, if the symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g.
several times a week with measurements taken daily) we advise
you to visit your doctor. Please, provide the following explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
atrial fibrillation indicator
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that
also analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The instrument is clinically tested.
The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if
atrial fibrillations occur during measurement. If the symbol
appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on
measurements performed daily) we recommend the patient to
seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but
serves to detect atrial fibrillations at an early stage.
Sometimes the device will detect atrial fibrillation even
)
when it is not there. This can happen if the arm moves
during the reading or another rhythm problem is present.
Keep the arm still during the reading. Visiting your doctor
with this device may be necessary to check out any rhythm
problems.
This device may not detect atrial fibrillation in people with
)
,
pacemakers or defibrillators.
6. PC-Link Functions
This device can be used in connection with a personal computer
(PC) running the Microlife Blood Pressure Analyser (BPA) software.
The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the
monitor via cable with the PC.
If no CD and cable is included download the BPA software from
www.microlife.com and use a standard USB cable.
Installation and data transmission
1. Insert CD into CD ROM drive of your PC. The installation will
start automatically. If not, please click on «SETUP.EXE».
2. Connect the monitor via cable with the PC; no need to switch
the device on. 3 horizontal bars will appear on the display and
last for 3 seconds.
3. The bars will then flash to indicate that the connection be tween
PC and device is successfully made. As long as the cable is
plugged, the bars will keep flashing and buttons are disabled.
During the connection, the device is completely controlled
)
by the computer. Please refer to the «help» file for software
instructions.
7. Data Memory
At the end of a measurement, this instrument automatically stores
each result, including date and time.
Viewing the stored values
Press the M-button 2 briefly, when the instrument is switched
off. The display first shows «M» AS and then a value, e.g. «M 17».
This means that there are 17 values in the memory. The instrument
then switches to the last stored result.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.
EN
5BP A110
Memory full
Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 200 is
not exceeded. When the memory is full, the old values
are automatically overwritten with new ones. Values
should be evaluated by a doctor before the memory capacity
is reached – otherwise data will be lost.
Clearing all values
If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored
values, hold down the M-button (the instrument must have been
switched off beforehand) until «CL» appears and then release the
button. To permanently clear the memory, press the M-button
while «CL» is flashing. Individual values cannot be cleared.
8. Battery Indicator and Battery change
Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol
AR will flash as soon as the instrument is switched on (partly filled
battery displayed). Although the instrument will continue to
measure reliably, you should obtain replacement batteries.
Flat battery – replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AR will flash as soon
as the instrument is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot
take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment AT at the back of the instrument.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the
symbols in the compartment.
3. To set date and time, follow the procedure described in
«Section 3.».
The memory retains all values although date and time (and
)
possibly also set alarm times) must be reset – the year
number therefore flashes automatically after the batteries
are replaced.
Which batteries and which procedure?
Use 4 new, long-life 1.5V, size AA batteries.
)
Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.
)
Remove batteries if the instrument is not going to be used
)
for a prolonged period.
Using rechargeable batteries
You can also operate this instrument using rechargeable batteries.
Only use «NiMH» type reusable batteries.
)
Batteries must be removed and recharged when the flat
)
battery symbol appears. They should not remain inside the
instrument as they may become damaged (total discharge as
a result of low use of the instrument, even when switched off).
Always remove the rechargeable batteries if you do not
)
intend to use the instrument for a week or more.
Batteries cannot be charged in the blood pressure monitor.
)
Recharge batteries in an external charger and observe the
information regarding charging, care and durability.
9. Using a Mains Adapter
You can operate this instrument using the Microlife mains adapter
(DC 6V, 600mA).
Only use the Microlife mains adapter available as an orig-
)
inal accessory appropriate for your supply voltage, e.g. the
