1. Introduction

1.1. Features of your blood pressure monitor.

This blood pressure monitor (BP 3ABO-H) is a semi-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 through the oscillometric method of measuring.

The device offers a clinically tested measurement accuracy and has been designed to be user-

friendly.

The large display allows both operational status and cuff pressure to be visible for the entire

duration of the measurement.

Before using, please read 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

•Caution: Self measurement of blood pressure helps your health care professional

assist in the management of your blood pressure. 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 functioning of heart

pacemakers!

•In cases of cardiac irregularity (Arrhythmia), measurements made with this

instrument should only be evaluated by your doctor.

Electromagnetic interference:

The device contains sensitive electronic components (Microcomputer). Therefore, avoid strong

electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device, such as cellular telephones

and microwave ovens. These devices, when in operation close to your blood pressure monitor,

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 a part of the brain called the circulatory center. This

part of your brain responds to a situation through feedback with the nervous system.To adjust

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

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

walls.

The level of arterial blood pressure changes periodically during heart activity: During blood ejec-

tion from the heart (Systole) the value is maximal (systolic blood pressure value). At the end of

the heart’s ‘rest period’, Diastole or diastolic blood pressure value, blood pressure falls to a low

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. You should bring these values to the attention of your

doctor immediately. Long-term values at this level endanger your health due to the

associated advancing 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 between 90mmHg and 95mmHg, please

consult your doctor, and check your blood pressure regularly.

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

and/or diastolic values under 60mmHg, please 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 appro-

priately, in consultation with your physician.

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

your blood pressure levels 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 dis-

continue or independently alter the 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 standard 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”. Please consult your doctor if you suspect that this might be the

case.

Warning:

•Diastolic blood pressure values above 120mmHg require immediate medical

treatment.

Range Systolic Diastolic Measures

Blood-pressure Blood-pressure

Hypotension (Low) lower than 100 lower than 60 Check with your doctor

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

Mild hypertension (Hi) between 140 and 160 between 90 and 100 Consult your doctor

Moderately serious between 160 and 180 between 100 and 110 Consult your doctor

hypertension (Very Hi)

Serious hypertension higher than 180 higher than 110 Consult your doctor

(Danger) immediately

2.3. What can be done if your blood pressure valves are consistently high or low?

a) Please consult your doctor.

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

considerable health risks. The concern is the arterial blood vessels of your body, which are

endangered due to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls. (Arteriosclerosis) This

can and does cause deficient supply of blood to important organs such as the heart,

brain, and muscles. Furthermore, with long-term continuously increased blood pressure

values, the heart will become structurally damaged.

There are many different causes of high blood pressure. We differentiate between common

primary (essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. Secondary hypertension (high)

can be related to specific organ malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for information

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

Lifestyle changes may assist in the reduction of a medically established high blood pressure

prevention. These lifestyle changes should be practiced on a continual basis:

1. Eating habits

•Strive for a healthy weight corresponding to your age.

•Avoid excessive consumption of common salt.

(Many packed foods contain large amounts of salt.)

•Avoid fatty foods.

2. Previous illnesses

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

• Sugar Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus);

• Fat metabolism disorder, and,

• Gout..

3. Habits

•Smokers should give up smoking completely.

•If you drink alcohol, do so in moderate amounts only.

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

4. Physical constitutioning:

•After a medical examination and clearance from your doctor, exercise regularly.

•Choose sports which require stamina 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 physical activities. Your doctor will advise you regarding

the physical activities that are best for you.

b) Cuff:

Regular cuff (model # S102-m) for arm circumference 9-13”

Large cuff for arm circumference 13-17” (available as special accessory)

4. Operation of your blood pressure monitor.

4.1. Inserting the batteries

After you have unpacked your device, insert the

batteries. The battery compartment is located on the

underside of the device (see illustration).

a) Remove the battery cover.

b) Insert the batteries (4 x size AA 1.5 V), following

the indicated polarity.

c) If the battery warning appears in the display, the

batteries are discharged and must be replaced

with new ones.

Attention!

•After the battery warning appears, the device is

blocked until the batteries have been replaced.

•Please use «AA» Long-Life or Alkaline 1.5 V

Batteries. The use of rechargeable batteries is

not recommended.

•If your blood pressure monitor is not used for

long periods, please remove the batteries from

the device.

Functional check:

Hold on the on/off button down to test all the

display elements. When functioning correctly icons

will appear.

4.2. Tube connection

•Cuff

Set up (or check) the tube connections between

cuff, instrument and pump ball as shown in the

diagram.

5. Taking a measurement

5.1. Before a measurement:

•Avoid eating, smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before a measurement. All

these factors influence the measurement result. Relax by sitting in an armchair in a quiet

atmosphere for about ten minutes before a measurement.

•Remove clothes that fit closely to your upper arm.

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

•Take 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!

(quiet conditions).

•Supporting your arm can increase blood pressure. Make sure you are in a comfortable,

relaxed position and do not flex any of the muscles in the measurement arm during the

measurement. Use a cushion for support if necessary.

•If the arm artery cuff is considerably lower or higher than the heart, an erroneously higher or

lower blood pressure will be measured! (Each 15 cm difference in height results in a

measurement error of 10 mmHg!)

•Selecting the correct cuff size is of extraordinary importance. The cuff size is dependent upon

the circumference of the arm (measured in the center). The permissible range is printed on

the cuff. If your cuff does not fit properly, contact microlife.

Note: Only use clinically approved microlife cuffs!

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

•With repeated measurements, blood accumulates in the arm, which can lead to false results.

Correctly executed blood pressure measurements should be repeated after a 1 minute

pause.

5.3. Fitting the cuff

a) Pass the end of the cuff through the metal stirrup

so that a loop is formed. The Velcro closer must

be facing outwards. (Ignore this step if the cuff

has already been prepared.)

b) Push the cuff over your left upper arm so that the

tube points in the direction of the lower arm.

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

certain that the lower edge of the cuff lies

approximately 2 to 3 cm (1”) above the elbow

and that the tube leaves the cuff on the inner

side of the arm.

Important! The white bar must lie exactly over

the artery which runs down the inner side of your

arm.

d) Tighten the free end of the cuff and close the

cuff with the velcro.

e) There should be no free space between the arm

and the cuff. Clothing must not restrict the arm.

Any piece of clothing which does (e.g. a pullover)

must be taken off.

f) Secure the cuff with the Velcro closer in such a

way that it lies comfortably and is not too tight.

Lay your arm on a table (palm upwards) so that

the cuff is at the same height as the heart. Make

sure that the tube is not kinked.

g) Remain seated quietly for two minutes before

you begin a measurement.

tube

Comment:

If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it

can also be placed on your right arm. However, all

measurements should be made using the same arm.

5.4. Measuring procedure

After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the

measurement can begin:

a) Switch on the instrument by pressing the

On/Off/Memory button. Many icons appear in

the display for 2 seconds: (Diag.)., A short double

beep follows to indicate that the instrument is

ready.

A «0» is shown in the display.

b) Grasp the pump ball with your free hand and

Inflate the cuff to a pressure at least 40 mmHg

higher than the expected systolic pressure. If you

do not know the value of this pressure, inflate to

a value of approximately 160–180 mmHg. The

cuff pressure is shown continuously on the

display.

d) After the inflation process lay down the pump

ball and remain in a quiet and relaxed sitting

position. The measurement now proceeds on its

own.

If no measurement takes place and all that

appears in the display is a flashing, upwards

pointing arrow, pump the ball once again and

inflate to a higher pressure «Inflate further».

When the instrument detects a pulse, a heart

symbol in the display starts to flash and a beep

is heard for every heart beat.

d) When the measurement has been concluded, a

long beep tone sounds. The measured systolic

and diastolic blood pressure values as well as

the pulse are now displayed.

The cuff pressure can now be quickly released

by pressing the release valve at the pump ball.

5.5. Inflating further

If the cuff is not inflated sufficiently, the

measurement is stopped after a few seconds and a

flashing arrow pointing upwards appears in the

display.

It is then necessary to inflate at least 20 mmHg

higher than the previous value.

The instruction to inflate further can appear several

times if the pressure is still not sufficient.

Attention:

If the cuff is inflated too far (over 300 mmHg), «HI»

appears in the display and a warning signal is

sounded. The cuff pressure must then be

immediately released using the quick-release valve

at the pump ball!

As soon as the cuff is inflated sufficiently and the

measurement is proceeding, continue as described

under points c + d.

5.6. Discontinuing a measurement

If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure

measurement for any reason, press the quick

release valve at the pump ball. The device

immediately lowers the cuff-pressure automatically.

5.7. Memory – displaying the last

measurement

This blood pressure monitor automatically stores the

last measurement value. By pressing the MEMORY

button for at least 3 seconds, the last measurement

will be displayed.

☞Further information

Measurements should not occur soon after each other, to ensure accurate readings. Wait at

least 1 minute in a relaxed position, sitting or lying, before you repeat a measurement.
