1. Introduction

1.1. Features

The blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic, digital blood pressure measuring device for use on the

upper arm with integrated MAM and PAD technology. This monitor enables very fast and reliable

measurement of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well your pulse by use of the oscillometric

method.

This device is easy to use and is proven in clinical studies to provide excellent accuracy. The large display

makes it easy to visualize operational status and cuff pressure during a measurement.

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

further questions on the subject of blood pressure and its measurement, please contact your doctor.

Attention!

1.2. Important information about self-measurement

•Self-measurement means Control, not diagnosis or treatment. Your values must always be discussed

with your doctor. Never alter the dosages of any medication without direction from your

doctor.

•The pulse reading is not suitable for checking heart pacemakers!

•In cases of cardiac irregularity (Arrhythmia), measurements made with this instrument should only be

evaluated after consultation with the doctor.

Electromagnetic interference

The device contains sensitive electronic components. Therefore, 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 the Subject of Blood Pressure and its Measurement

2.1. How does high/low blood pressure arise?

Your blood pressure level is determined in the circulatory center of your brain. Your nervous system allows

your body to adapt or alter blood pressure in response to different situations. Your body alters your pulse

and the width of blood vessels through changes in muscles in the walls of blood vessels.

Your blood pressure reading is highest when the heart pumps or ejects blood – this is called your Systolic

Blood Pressure. Your blood pressure reading is lowest when the heart rests (in-between beats) – this is

called your Diastolic Blood Pressure.

Note: Maintain blood pressure values within a «normal» range(s) in order to prevent particular diseases.

2.2. Which values are normal?

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

pressure is over 140 mmHg. If you obtain readings in this range, consult your doctor immediately. High

blood pressure values over time damage blood vessels, vital organs such as the kidney and even your heart.

When blood pressure values are too low, i.e. systolic values under 100 mmHg and/or diastolic values under

60 mmHg, consult your doctor.

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

recommended. In this way you can detect possible changes in your values early and react appropriately.

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

your blood pressure by carrying out regular self-measurements at specific times of the day. Show these

values to your doctor. Never use the results of your measurements to independently alter drug

doses prescribed by your doctor.

Table for classifying blood pressure values (units mmHg): according to World Health Organization:

☞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». In any case, please discuss the values with your doctor.

• Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120 mmHg require immediate medical

treatment.

Range Systolic

Blood Pressure

Diastolic

Blood Pressure

Measures

Hypotension lower than 100 lower than 60 Consult your doctor

Normal range between 100 and 140 between 60 and 90 Self-check

Mild hypertension between 140 and 160 between 90 and 100 Consult your doctor

Moderate hypertension between 160 and 180 between 100 and 110 Consult your doctor

Severe hypertension higher than 180 higher than 110 Consult your doctor

immediately

2.3. What can be done, if regular increased/low values are obtained?

a) Please consult your doctor.

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

considerable risks to health. Blood vessels in your body are endangered due to constriction caused by

deposits in the vessel walls (Arteriosclerosis). This can result in a deficient supply of blood to important

organs (heart, brain, muscles). Additionally, the heart will become structurally damaged.

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

(essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. Secondary hypertension can cause organ

malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for information about the possible origins of your own

increased blood pressure values.

d) There are lifestyle changes you can make to prevent and reduce high blood pressure. These measures

must be part of a healthy lifestyle and include:

A) Eating habits

• Strive for a normal weight as prescribed by your doctor. Reduce overweight!

• Avoid excessive consumption of common salt. (Many «packaged foods» contain high levels of salt).

• Avoid fatty foods. (Packaged foods are frequently high in fats).

B) Previous illnesses

Consistently follow any medical instructions for treating previous illness such as:

• Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus or sugar diabetes)

• Fat metabolism disorder

• Gout

C) Habits

• Eliminate smoking

• Drink only moderate amounts of alcohol

• Restrict your caffeine consumption (Coffee, tea, chocolate, etc.)

D) Physical conditioning

• After a preliminary medical examination, exercise regularly.

• Choose sports which require endurance and avoid those which require strength.

• Avoid reaching the limit of your performance.

• With previous illnesses and/or an age of over 40 years, please consult your doctor before beginning your

exercise activities. Your physician will help you develop an exercise routine that is appropriate for you.

2.4. MAM technology (Microlife Average Mode)

• «MAM technology» is a new type of concept for optimum reliability in self-measurement of blood

pressure.

• An advanced measurement accuracy is achieved by the automatic analysis of three successive

measurements.

• The new system provides reliable values for the doctor and can be used as the basis for reliable

diagnostics and medication therapy for high blood pressure.

A) Why MAM?

• Human blood pressure is not stable

• Scattering of devices

B) Key advantages

Reduction of:

• Device scattering

• Insufficient rest prior to measurement

• Movement artefacts

• Cuff positioning influences

C) Medical benefits

• Improved accuracy

• Reliable patient self-measurement data for the doctor

• Safe hypertension diagnostic

• Reliable therapy control

D) Measurement sequence

• With the full measurement cycles, the total measurement time remains less than 3 minutes, compared

to a single measurement time of 1.5 minute.

• Single results are not displayed.

• Due to the «Data Analysis» result, a 4th measurement may be applied.

2.5. PAD - Pulse Arrhythmia Detection

Appearance of the Arrhythmia indicator

The appearance of this symbol signifies that a certain pulse irregularity was detected during the

measurement. The result can vary from your normal blood pressure. As a rule this is not a cause for

concern; however, if the symbol appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on measurements

performed daily) or if it suddenly appears more often than usual, we recommend you inform 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 measuring device that also analyses the pulse

frequency during measurement. The accuracy of this device has been clinically validated.

If pulse irregularities occur during measurement, the arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the

measurement. If the symbol appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on

measurements performed daily) or if it suddenly appears more often than usual, we

recommend the patient to seek medical advice.

The device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an

early stage.
