Microlife AFIB BT – BP A6 BT

Dear Customer,

Your new Microlife blood pressure monitor is a reliable medical

device for taking measurements on

the upper arm. It is simple to

use, accurate and comes highly recommended for blood pressure

monitoring in your home. This device was developed in collaboration with physicians and clinical

tests carried out prove its

measurement accuracy to be of a very high standard.*

Microlife AFIB detection is the world’s leading digital blood pres-

sure measurement technology for

the detection of atrial fibrillation

(AFIB) and hypertension. These are the two top risk factors of

getting a stroke or heart disease in the future. It is important to

detect AFIB and hypertension at an

early stage, even though you

may not experience any symptoms. Appropriate treatment will

reduce

your risk of suffering a stroke. For this reason, it is recommended that you visit your doctor when

the device gives an AFIB

signal during your blood pressure measurement. The AFIB algorithm of

Microlife has been clinically investigated by several prominent clinical investigators and showed

that the device detects patients with AFIB at a certainty of 97-100%. 1,2

Please read through these instructions carefully so that you under-

stand all functions and safety

information. We want you to be

happy with your Microlife product. If you have any questions, prob

lems or want to order spare parts please contact Microlife-

Customer Service. Your dealer or

pharmacy will be able to give

you the address of the Microlife dealer in your country. Alternatively,

visit the internet at www.microlife.com where you will find a

wealth of invaluable information on our

products.

Stay healthy – Microlife AG

*This device uses the same measuring technology as the award

winning «BP 3BTO-A» model

tested according to the British

Hypertension Society (BHS) protocol.

1. Important Facts about Blood Pressure and Self-

Measurement

•

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 any drugs prescribed by 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 succession to produce significantly

different results. Therefore we

recommend to use the MAM technology.

•

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 much more reliable information about your blood pressure than

just one single measurement.

Therefore we recommend to use the MAM technology.

•

Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two

measurements.

•

If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat, 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

very closely as it can change

drastically during this time!

This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and preeclampsia. When you detect

unusual high readings in pregnancy, you should measure again after 4 hours. If the

reading is still too high, consult your doctor or gynaecologist.

How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

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 irregularly (this is called fibrillation). Atrial fibrillation is the most common

form of heart arrhythmia or irregular heart beat. It often causes no

symptoms, yet it significantly

increases your risk of stroke. You’ll

need a doctor to help you control the problem.

How does AFIB impact my family or me?

People with AFIB have a five-fold higher risk of getting stroke.

Since the chance of having a stroke

increases with age, individuals

above the age of 55 years benefit most from screening for AFIB.

However, for younger individuals with risk factors such as diabetes

or hypertension screening for

AFIB is also recommended. Early

diagnosis of AFIB followed by adequate treatment can

significantly

reduce the risk of getting stroke.

Younger individuals with AFIB have a relatively low risk of getting

stroke as compared to elder

people.

Microlife AFIB detection provides a convenient way to screen

for AFIB (only in AFIB/MAM

mode)

Knowing your blood pressure and knowing whether 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 you have AFIB is the first step in proactive stroke prevention.

3. Using the Device for the First Time

Inserting the batteries

After you have unpacked your device, first insert the batteries. The

battery compartment (5) is on the

bottom of the device. Insert the

batteries (4 x size AAA 1.5 V), thereby observing the indicated

polarity. Switch the Lock Switch (13) to «unlock» position.

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 either the «+» (12) or

the «-» (11) button. To confirm and then set the month, press the

time button (9).

2. Press the «+» (12) or the «-» (11) button to set the month. Press

the time button (9) 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 for circumference of upper

S 17 - 22 cm

M 22 - 32 cm

M - L 22 - 42 cm

L - XL 32 - 52 cm

Optional preformed cuffs «Easy» are available for better

fitting and comfort.

Only use Microlife cuffs.



Contact 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.

Select the measuring mode: standard or AFIB/MAM mode

This device enables you to select either standard (standard single

measurement) or AFIB/MAM

mode (automatic triple measurement). To select standard mode, slide the AFIB/MAM switch (8) on

the side of the device downwards to position «1» and to select

AFIB/MAM mode, slide this switch

upwards to position «3».

AFIB/MAM mode (highly recommended)

In AFIB/MAM mode, 3 measurements are automatically taken in

succession and the result is then

automatically analysed and

displayed. Because blood pressure constantly fluctuates, a result
