1. Introduction

1.1.Features of your microlife automatic blood pressure monitor,

model # 3AA1-1

Your microlife blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic digital blood pressure measuring

device for use on the upper arm. It enables very fast and reliable measurement of the

systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as the pulse by way of the oscillometric

method. This device offers clinically proven accuracy and has been designed to be user

friendly.

Before using, please read this instruction manual carefully and then keep it in a safe

place. Please contact your doctor for further questions on the subject of blood pressure

and its measurement.

Attention!

1.2.Important information about self-measurement

•Self-measurement means Control, not diagnosis or treatment. Unusual values

must always be discussed with your doctor. Under no circumstances should you

alter the dosages of any drugs prescribed by your doctor.

•The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers!

•In cases of irregular heartbeat (Arrhythmia), measurements made with this instrument

should only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.

Electromagnetic interference:

The device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong 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.

2. Important information on blood pressure and its measurement

2.1. How does high/low blood pressure arise?

Your level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of the brain and

adjusts to a variety of situations through feedback from the nervous system. To adjust

blood pressure, the strength and frequency of the heart (Pulse), as well as the width of

circulatory blood vessels is altered. Blood vessel width is effected by fine muscles in the

blood vessel walls.

Your level of arterial blood pressure changes periodically during heart activity: During the

“blood ejection” (Systole) the value is highest (systolic blood pressure value). At the end

of the heart’s “rest period” (Diastole) pressure is lowest (diastolic blood pressure value).

Blood pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in order to prevent particular

diseases.

2.2. Which values are normal?

Blood pressure is too high if at rest, your diastolic pressure is above 90mmHg and/or the

systolic blood pressure is over 160mmHg. In this case, please consult your doctor

immediately. Long-term values at this level endanger your health due to continual damage

to the blood vessels in your body.

Should the systolic blood pressure values lie between 140mmHg and 160mmHg and/or

the diastolic blood pressure values lie between 90mmHg and 95mmHg. Consult your

doctor. Regular self-checks will be necessary.

With blood pressure values that are too low, (i.e. systolic values under 105mmHg and/or

diastolic values under 60mmHg), consult your doctor.

Even with normal blood pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood pressure

monitor is recommended. You can detect possible changes in your values early and react

appropriately.

If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, keep a record of

values along with time of day and date. Show these values to your doctor. Never use the

results of your measurements to independently alter the drug doses prescribed

by your doctor.

☞Further information

•If your values are mostly normal under resting conditions but exceptionally high under

conditions of physical or psychological stress, it is possible that you are suffering from

so-called “labile hypertension.” Consult your doctor.

•Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120mmHg and

require immediate medical treatment.

2.3. What can be done if regular high or low values are obtained?

a) Consult your doctor.

b) Increased blood pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are associated with

considerable health risks over time. Arterial blood vessels in your body are endangered

due to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls (Arteriosclerosis). A deficient

supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can result from

arteriosclerosis. Furthermore, the heart will become structurally damaged with

increased blood pressure values.

c) There are many different causes of high blood pressure. We differentiate between the

common primary (essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. The latter

group can be ascribed to specific organ malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for

information about the possible origins of your own increased blood pressure values.

d) There are measures which you can take to reduce and even prevent high blood

pressure. These measures must be permanent lifestyle changes.

A) Eating habits

•Strive for a normal weight corresponding to your age. See your doctor for your ideal

weight.

•Avoid excessive consumption of common salt.

5. Measurement Procedure

Please note: You should always be seated before and during measurement.

5.1. Before measurement:

•Avoid eating and smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before

measurement. These factors influence the measurement result. Find time to relax by

sitting in an armchair in a quiet atmosphere for about ten minutes before

measurement.

•Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.

•Always measure on the same arm (normally left).

•Always perform measurements at the same time of day, since blood pressure changes

during the course of the day.

5.2. Common sources of error:

Note:

Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions!

These are normally quiet conditions.

•Efforts by the patient to support the arm can increase the blood pressure. Make sure

you are in a comfortable, relaxed position and do not activate any muscles in the

measurement arm during measurement. Use a cushion for support and rest your arm

on a table.

•If the upper arm artery lies considerably lower or higher than the heart, a false higher

or lower blood pressure will be measured!

*A variation of 6” between cuff and heart level can result in a reading error

of + or - 10mm Hg.

•Cuffs that do not fit properly result in false measurement values. Selecting the correct

cuff is extremely important. The cuff size is dependent upon the circumference or

distance arround your upper arm measured in the center. The permissible range is

printed on the cuff. If this is not suitable for your use, please contact .

Note: Use only clinically approved cuffs. e cuffs are specially

manufactured and tested.

•Aloose cuff or a sideways protruding air pocket causes false measurement values.

•Repeated measurements without rest allows blood to accumulate in the arm. This can

lead to false results. Measurements should be done after a 5 minute rest to ensure

accuracy.

5.3. Fitting the cuff

a) Pass the end of the cuff through the flat

metal ring so that a loop is formed. The

velcro closer must be facing outwards.

(Ignore this step if the cuff has already been

prepared.)

b) Place the cuff over the left upper arm so that

the tube is closer to your lower arm.

c) Lay the cuff on the arm as illustrated. Make

certain that the lower edge of the cuff lies

approximately 3/4” to 1”(2 to 3cm) above the

elbow and that the tube is closer to the inner

side of the arm.

Important! The 1” white mark on the cuff

must lie exactly over the artery which runs

down the inner side of the arm.

d) Tighten the cuff by pulling the end and close

the cuff by affixing the velcro.

e) There should be little free space between the

arm and the cuff. You should able to fit 2

fingers between your arm and the cuff.

Clothing must not restrict the arm. Any piece

of clothing which does must be removed.

f) Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the

cuff is at the same height as your heart.

Make sure the tube is not kinked.

g) Remain seated quietly for two minutes

before you begin the measurement.
