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 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.
Enter your readings in the enclosed blood pressure diary.
This will give your doctor a quick overview.
There are many causes of excessively high blood pressure
values. 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 measurements in the same quiet conditions and when you feel relaxed!
Take at least two measure-
ments per day, one in the morning and one in the evening.
It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succes-
sion to produce significantly different results.
2
You should
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
measurements.
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 (arrhythmia, see
«Section 4.»), measurements taken with this device should only
be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.
The pulse display is not suitable for checking the
frequency of heart pacemakers!

Selecting the correct cuff
Microlife offers 3 different cuff sizes: S, M and L. Select the cuff size to
match the circumference of your upper arms (measured by close fitting
in the centre of the upper arm). M is the correct size for most people.
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)
This device comes with a M size cuff.
Only use Microlife cuffs.
Contact Microlife Service if the enclosed cuff 8 does not fit.
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector 9
into the cuff socket 4 as far as it will go.
Connecting the pump ball
Connect the pump ball AT to the device by firmly inserting the
connector AK into the pump ball socket 5.
3. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement using this
Device
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 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 located 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. Switch on the device and wait until «0» appears in the display
and the arrow «» BT starts to flash.
7. Take the pump ball in your free hand (the arm you are not
measuring from) and pump up the cuff. Watch the pressure indication in the display and pump approx. 40 mmHg higher than
the expected systolic value (the upper value). If you have not
pumped enough, a flashing arrow «» BT will appear telling
you to pump higher.
8. After pumping, the measurement is taken automatically. Relax, do
not move and do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement result is displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.
9. During the measurement, the heart symbol AN flashes in the
display and a beep sounds every time a heartbeat is detected.

pressure and the pulse
Note also the explanations on further displays in this booklet.
11.When the measurement has finished, press the quick-acting
discharge valve 6 in order to release any remaining air in the
cuff. Remove the cuff.
12.Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automatically after approx. 1 min.).
You can interrupt the measurement at any time by pressing
the quick-acting discharge valve 6 (e.g. if you feel uneasy
or notice an unpleasant pressure sensation).

is displayed and a long beep is heard.
4. Appearance of the Heart Arrhythmia Indicator for
early Detection
This symbol AM 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 frequency 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.
5. Data Memory
At the end of each measurement, this device automatically stores
the result.
EN
3BP A50
Viewing the stored values
Press the M-button 3 briefly, when the instrument is switched off.
The display first shows 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.
Memory full
When the memory has stored 14 results, the memory is full.
From this point onwards, a new measured value is stored
by overwriting the oldest value.
Clearing all values
All memory data are cleared when batteries are taken out
of the instrument.
6. Battery Indicator and Battery change
Low battery
When the batteries are approximatel y ¾ empty the battery symbol AO
will flash as soon as the device is switched on (partly filled battery
displayed). Although the device will continue to measure reliably, you
should obtain replacement batteries.
Flat battery – replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AO will flash as soon
as the device is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot
take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment 7 at the back of the device.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the
symbols in the compartment.
Which batteries and which procedure?
Use 2 new, long-life 1.5 V, size AAA batteries.
Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.
Remove batteries if the device is not going to be used for a
prolonged period.
Using rechargeable batteries
You can also operate this device 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
device as they may become damaged (total discharge as a
result of low use of the device, even when switched off).
Always remove the rechargeable batteries if you do not
intend to use the device for a week or more.
