1. INTRODUCTION

1.1. Features

Your blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic, digital blood pressure measuring device with integrated

MAM technology and automatic risk factor classification for use on the upper arm. 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 understand what the monitor is doing and the cuff pressure during a measurement.

Please read through this instruction manual carefully before use 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. You should never alter the dosages of any medication without direction from your

doctor.

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

•If you have been diagnosed with a severe Arrhythmia or irregular heartbeat, measurements made with

this instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with the doctor.

Electromagnetic interference:

This device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in

the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave ovens. Electrical interference can lead

to temporary impairment of the measuring accuracy).

2. IMPORTANT INFORMATION 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 your heart pumps or ejects blood. This stage is called your

Systolic Blood Pressure. Your blood pressure is lowest when the heart rests. (in-between beats). This is

called your diastolic blood pressure.

It is critical to 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, when taken at rest, your systolic pressure is over 140mmHg and/or your

diastolic pressure is above 90mmHg. If you obtain readings above these levels you should consult your

doctor immediately. High blood pressure values over time damage blood vessels, vital organs such as the

kidney and even your heart.

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

pressure values lie between 90mmHg and 100mmHg, consult your doctor. Regular self-checks will be

necessary.

When blood-pressure values are too low, i.e. systolic values under 100mmHg 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. 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): World Health Organization:

Range Systolic Diastolic Recommendations

Blood Pressure Blood Pressure

Hypotension lower than 100 lower than 60 Check with 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

Serious hypertension higher than 180 higher than 110 Urgent! See your doctor.

Specific systolic higher than 140 lower than 90 Consult your doctor

hypertension

☞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 120mmHg require immediate medical

treatment.

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 conside-

rable 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

• Maintain a normal weight as prescribed by your doctor.

• Avoid excessive consumption of common salt. Please note 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 routine. Your physician will help you develop an exercise routine that is appropriate for you.

2.4. Risk Factor Classification

In 1999 the World Health Organization (WHO) issued guidelines for the classification of the risk of a

cardiovascular event (1999 World Health Organization - International Society of Hypertension Guidelines for

the Management of Hypertension; Journal of Hypertension 1999, 17:151-183).

According to these guidelines, patients with high blood pressure are classified into four different risk

classes. Along with the blood pressure, the following risk factors are analyzed: sex, age, smoking,

cholesterol, family history of premature cardiovascular disease, diabetes.

The RM 100 device enables these factors to be entered easily using the «Risk Factor Input» button. In

conjunction with the blood pressure measurement, a risk categorization depending on the number of risk

factors, is then performed automatically by the device and displayed after the measurement.

Blood Pressure in mmHg

Risk Factors Systolic 140 – 159 or Systolic 160 – 179 or Systolic > 179 or

Diastolic 90 - 99 Diastolic 100 - 109 Diastolic > 109

none L(Low Risk) M(Medium Risk) H(High Risk)

1 or 2 M(Medium Risk) M(Medium Risk) VH (Very High Risk)

3 or more OR diabetes H(High Risk) H(High Risk) VH (Very High Risk)

NOR (Normal) is displayed when the systolic measurements are below 140 and diastolic measurements are

below 90 mmHg. Patient should continue self-check.

Patient should consult doctor when risk category is: L, M, H or VH

WHO guidelines (1999) give the following recommendations:

L – Low Risk: Doctor should observe the patient over a significant period of time before deciding weather

to institute drug treatment.

M – Medium Risk: Blood pressure and other risk factors should be monitored for several weeks and

obtain further information before doctor decides weather to institute drug treatment.

H – High Risk / VH – Very High Risk: Doctor should institute immediate drug treatment for the hyper-

tension and the other risk factors or conditions present.

2.5. 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 and can vary

considerably within a short period of time.

B) Key advantages

Reduction of:

• Insufficient rest prior to measurement

• Movement artefacts (talking or moving during

measurement)

• Cuff positioning influences

C) Medical benefits

• Improved accuracy

• Reliable patient self-measurement data for the doctor

• Safe hypertension diagnosis

• 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.

• The display counts down the time remaining until the

next reading.

• Due to the «Data Analysis» result, a 4th measurement

may be applied.

• Only the final analysed data reading is displayed.

3. COMPONENTS OF YOUR MONITOR

The illustration shows the device consisting of:

a) Main unit:

b) Upper arm cuff:
