2. 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 device 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.
There are several causes of excessively high blood pressure
values. Your doctor will explain them in more detail and offer
treatment where appropriate. Besides medication, weight loss and exercise can also lower your blood pressure.
Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of drugs or initiate a treatment without consulting your doctor.
2
Depending on physical exertion and condition, blood pressure
is subject to wide fluctuations as the day progresses. You
should therefore take your measurements in the same quiet conditions and when you feel relaxed! Take at least
two readings every time (in the morning and in the evening) and average the measurements.
It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succes-
sion 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
about your blood pressure than just one single measurement.
Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two
measurements.
If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia, see
«Section 5.»), measurements taken with this device should be evaluated with your doctor.
The pulse display is not suitable for checking the
frequency of heart pacemakers!
If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure
regularly as it can change drastically during this time.
This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and pre-
eclampsia. When you detect unusual high readings in preg­nancy, you should measure after a short while again (eg. 1 hour). If the reading is still too high, consult your doctor or gynecologist.

How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

Table for classifying home blood pressure values in adults in accordance with the international Guidelines (ESH, ESC, JSH). Data in mmHg.
Range Systolic Diastolic
1. blood pressure normal
2. blood pressure optimum
3. blood pressure elevated
4. blood pressure too high
5. blood pressure dangerously high
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation. Example: a blood pressure value of 140/80 mmHg or a value of 130/90 mmHg indicates «blood pressure too high».

3. Using the Device for the First Time

Inserting the batteries

After you have unpacked your device, first insert the batteries. The battery compartment batteries (4 x 1.5 V, size AA), thereby observing the indicated polarity.

Setting the date and time

1. After the new batteries are fitted, the year number flashes in the
display. You can set the year by pressing the M-button 9. To confirm and then set the month, press the time button 8.
2. Press the M-button to set the month. Press the time button to confirm and then set the day.
3. Follow the instructions above to set the day, hour and minutes.
4. Once you have set the minutes and pressed the time button, the date and time are set and the time is displayed.
5. If you want to change the date and time, press and hold the time button down for approx. 3 seconds until the year number starts to flash. Now you can enter the new values as described above.

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 M 22 - 32 cm M - L 22 - 42 cm L 32 - 42 cm L - XL 32 - 52 cm
Optional preformed cuffs «Easy» are available for better
fitting and comfort. Only use Microlife cuffs.
Contact your local Microlife Service if the enclosed cuff 6 does not fit.
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector 7 into the cuff socket 3 as far as it will go.

4. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement

Checklist for taking a reliable measurement
1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the measurement.
2. Sit down on a back-supported chair and relax for 5 minutes. Keep the feet flat on the floor and do not cross your legs.
3. Always measure on the same arm (normally left). It is recom­mended that doctors perform double arm measurements on a patients first visit in order to determine which arm to measure in the future. The arm with the higher blood pressure should be measured.
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 correct cuff size is used (marking on the cuff).
Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.Make sure that the cuff is positioned 2 cm above the elbow.The artery mark on the cuff (ca. 3 cm long bar) must lie over
the artery which runs down the inner side of the 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 device will automatically pump some more air into the cuff.
9. During the measurement, the pulse indicator AP flashes in the display.
10.The result, comprising the systolic AT and the diastolic AK blood pressure and the pulse rate AL is displayed.
11.When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
12.Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automati­cally after approx. 1 min.).

How not to store a reading

As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF button 1 until «M» AS is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by pressing the M-button 9.
4
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 Pulse Arrhythmia (PAD)

This symbol AR indicates that certain pulse irregularities were detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measure­ment. 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 tell your doctor. Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the Arrhythmia indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also analyses pulse irregularity during measurement. The device is clinically tested. The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse irregularities 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. This device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

6. Data Memory

This device automatically stores the last 30 measurement values.

Viewing the stored values

Press the M-button 9 briefly, when the device is switched off. The display first shows «M» AS and «A», which stands for the average of all stored values. Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored value to another.
