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).

2

 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.

 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.

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 (2 x 1.5 V, size AAA), thereby observing the indicated polarity.

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
L 32 - 42 cm

Only use Microlife cuffs.

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. Switch on the device and wait until «0» appears in the display
and the arrow «» AN 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 «» AN 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 pulse indicator AL flashes in the
display.

10.The result, comprising the systolic AT and the diastolic AK
blood pressure and the pulse rate AR is displayed. Note also the
explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.

11.When the measurement has finished, press the quick-acting
discharge valve 8 in order to release any remaining air in the
cuff. Remove the cuff.

12.Switch off the device with ON/OFF button 1. (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» AP is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by
pressing the M-button 3.

You can interrupt the measurement at any time by pressing



the quick-acting discharge valve 8 (e.g. if you feel uneasy
or notice an unpleasant pressure sensation).

5. 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.

6. Appearance of the Hypertension Indicator

This symbol AL flashes at the end of the measurement, if either
your systolic or diastolic blood pressure is higher than the recom­mended values in accordance with the international guidelines
(ESH, ESC JSH).
Systolic blood pressure: > 135 mmHg
Diastolic blood pressure: > 85 mmHg

7. Data Memory

This device automatically stores the last 30 measurement values.
