Self-Measurement

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

treatment where appropriate. Besides medication, weight

loss and exercise can also lower your blood pressure.

•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.

• Leaveasmallbreak of at least 15 seconds between two

measurements.

• Ifyousufferfromanirregular heartbeat (arrhythmia, see

«Section 4.»), 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 gynaeco-

logist.

Selecting the correct cuff

aponorm®by microlife offers different cuff sizes. Select the

cuff size to match the circumference of your upper arms (measu-

red by close ﬁtting in the centre of the upper arm).

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. 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).

It is recommended that doctors perform double arm measu-

rements 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-tting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at.

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. Press the ON/OFF button 1to 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 16 ashesin

the display.

10. The result, comprising the systolic 12 and the diastolic 13

blood pressure and the pulse rate 14 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

Press the ON/OFF button 1while the reading is being

displayed. Keep the button pressed until «M» 20 isashingand

then release it. Conﬁrm by pressing the M-button again.

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).

4. Appearance of the Pulse Arrhythmia Indicator

for early Detection

This symbol 19 indicates that certain pulse irregularities were

detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may

deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measu-

rement.

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:

aponorm®by

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.

5. Trafﬁc Light Indicator in the Display

The bars on the left-hand edge of the trafﬁc light display 15

show you the range within which the indicated blood pressure

value lies. Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value

is either within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow), too high

(orange) or dangerously high (red) range. The classiﬁcation corre-

sponds to the 4 ranges in the table as deﬁned by the internatio-

nalguidelines(ESH,AHA,JSH),asdescribedin«Section1.».

6. Data Memory

This device automatically stores the last 30 measurement values.

Viewing the stored values

Press the M-button 9briey,whenthedeviceisswitchedoff.

The display ﬁrst shows «M» 20 and then switches to the average

of all readings. Press the M-button again to switch to the last

stored value.

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

Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 30

memories is not exceeded. When the 30 memory is

full, the oldest value is automatically overwritten

with the 31st value. Values should be evaluated by

a doctor before the memory capacity is reached –

otherwise data will be lost.

Clearing all values

If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored

values, hold down the M-button (the device must have been

switched off beforehand) until «CL» appears and then release

the button. To permanently clear the memory, press the

M-button while «CL»isashing.Individualvaluescannotbe

cleared.
