1. Introduction

1.1.Features of your Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor

Your blood pressure monitor with Microlife Averaging Mode, Irregular Heartbeat

Detection, and PC Link Blood Pressure Analyzer Software is a fully automatic digital blood

pressure measuring device for use by adults on the upper arm at home or in your doc-

tor’s/nurse’s office. It enables very fast and reliable measurement of systolic and diastolic

blood pressure as well as pulse through the oscillometric method. This device offers clini-

cally proven accuracy and has been designed to be user friendly.

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

place. Please contact your doctor for further questions on the subject of blood pressure

and its measurement.

Attention!

1.2.Important information about self-measurement

•Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment. 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 frequency of heart pacemakers!

•In cases of irregular heartbeat, measurements made with this instrument should only

be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.

Electromagnetic interference:

The device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or electro-

magnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave

ovens). These can lead to temporaryimpairment of the measuring accuracy.

2. Important Information on Blood Pressure and its Measurement

2.1. How does high or low blood pressure arise?

Your level of blood pressureis determined in the circulatorycenter of the brain and

adjusts to a variety of situations through feedback from the nervous system. To adjust

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

latoryblood vessels is altered. Blood vessel width is controlled by fine muscles in the

blood vessel walls.

Your level of arterial blood pressurechanges periodically during heartactivity: During the

“blood ejection” (Systole) the value is highest (systolic blood pressurevalue). At the end

of the heart’s “rest period” (Diastole) pressure is lowest (diastolic blood pressure 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 very high if your diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg and/or your

systolic blood pressure is over 160 mmHg, while at rest.In this case, please con-

sult your physician immediately. Long-term values at this level endanger your health

due to continual damage to the blood vessels in you body.

If your systolic blood pressure values are between 140 mmHg and 159mmHg and/or

the diastolic blood pressure values between 90 mmHg and 99mmHg, consult your

physician. Regular self-checks are necessary.

If you have blood pressure values that are too low, (i.e., systolic values under

105mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60 mmHg), consult your physician.

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

sure monitor is recommended. You can detect possible changes in your values early

and react appropriately.

If you areundergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, keep a

record of values along with time of day and date. Show these values to your physi-

cian. Never use the results of your measurements to independently alter the

drug doses prescribed by your physician.

Which values arenormal?

The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to age)

have been established by the U.S. National Institutes of Health JNC7, 2003.

Category Systolic Diastolic

(mmHg) (mmHg)

Normal <120 <80

Pre-Hypertension 120-139 80-89

Hypertension

Stage 1 Hypertension 140-159 90-99

Stage 2 Hypertension >160 >100

☞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.” Consult your doctor.

•Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120mmHg require

immediate medical treatment.

2.3. What can be done if regular high or low values are obtained?

a) Consult your doctor.

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

considerable health risks over time. Arterial blood vessels in your body are endangered

due to constriction caused by deposits in the vessel walls (Arteriosclerosis). A deficient

supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can result from arterioscle-

rosis. Furthermore, the heart will become structurally damaged with increased blood

pressure values.

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

common primary (essential) hypertension, and secondary hypertension. The latter

group can be ascribed to specific organ malfunctions. Please consult your doctor for

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

d) There are measures which you can take to reduce and even prevent high blood pres-

sure. These measures must be permanent lifestyle changes.

A) Eating habits

•Strive for a normal weight corresponding to your age. See your doctor for your ideal

weight.

•Avoid excessive consumption of common salt.

•Avoid fatty foods.

B) Previous illnesses

•Consistently follow all medical instructions for treating illness such as:

•Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus or sugar diabetes)

•Fat metabolism disorder

•Gout

C) Habits

•Give up smoking completely.

•Drink only moderate amounts of alcohol.

•Restrict your caffeine consumption (coffee, tea, chocolate).

D) Your physical condition

•After a medical examination, and with your doctor’s approval and direc-

tion; exercise.

•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 exercise routine. Speak with your doctor regarding the type

and extent of exercise that is appropriate for you.

b) Upper arm cuffs:

Type S101 for arm circumference 24 - 33.7 cm or (9.5” - 13.25”)

Type S102 for arm circumference 30.5 - 40.64 cm (12” - 16”)

Your blood pressure monitor comes with two cuffs, one

medium and one large. If you ever need to buy a replacement cuff, use only Microlife brand

cuffs. Call Microlife service at 1-800-568-4147 for information.

Please Note:

Arm circumference should be measured with a measuring tape in the middle of the relaxed

upper arm. Do not force cuff connection into the opening. Make sure the cuff connection is

not pushed into the AC adapter port. If the cuff is too small, call 1-800-568-4147 for further

information. You may prefer to use one of our wrist type monitors.

4. Using your Monitor for the First Time

4.3 Selecting the Correct Cuff

This monitor includes two different cuff sizes, Medium and Large. Select the cuff size to

match the circumference of your upper arm (close fitting, measured in the center of the

upper arm). Medium is the correct size for most people.

If the enclosed cuffs do not fit, call 1-800-568-4147. Use only approved cuffs. If you need

extra cuffs you may look for the Microlife brand Large Cuff which is compatible with this

monitor.

4.4. Cuff tube connection

Insert the cuff tube into the opening on the side of

the monitor indicated by the drawing of a cuff.

4.5. Select the Measuring Mode: Standard or Microlife

Averaging Mode

This instrument enables you to select either standard (standard sin-

gle measurement) or Microlife Averaging Mode (automatic triple

measurement). To select standard mode, push the switch on the

side of the instrument downward to Position "1“ and to select

Averaging mode, upwards to Position “3”. If you select 1 then only

one measurement will be taken. If you select 3, the unit will inflate

and deflate three times resulting in one final average measurement.

4.6. Select the User

This blood pressure monitor is designed to store 99 measurements

for each of two users. Before taking a measurement, be certain that

the correct user has been selected.

a) With the unit off, press and hold the TIME button for 3 sec-

onds until the user icon in the upper left corner of the LCD

screen flashes.

b) Press the “M” button to toggle between users.

c) Press the START button to make your selection.

4.7. Microlife Averaging Mode Technology

•In Microlife Averaging Mode, three measurements are automatically taken in succession

and the result then automatically analyzed and displayed. Because your blood pressure

constantly fluctuates, a result determined in this way is more reliable than one produced

by a single measurement.

•After pressing the On/off button the selected Microlife Averaging Mode appears in the

display as the symbol.

•The bottom, right hand section of the display shows a 1, 2 or 3 to indicate which of the 3

measurements is currently being taken.

1 3

•There is a break of 15 seconds between the measurements (15 seconds are adequate according

to “Blood Pressure Monitoring, 2001, 6:145-147” for oscillometric instruments). A count down

indicates the remaining time and a beep will sound 5 seconds before the 2nd and 3rd readings

will begin.

•The individual results from measurements 1, 2 and 3 are not initially displayed.

•If you want to see each of the individual readings making up a triplicate reading,

press and hold the “M” button for 3 seconds immediately after a Microlife Averaging

Mode measurement. Please note: You can only see the individual readings one time

immediately following an Averaging Mode measurement. See section 5.4 G.

•Do not remove the cuff between measurements.

5. Measurement Procedure

Please note: You should always be seated before and during measurement.

5.1. Before measurement:

• Avoid eating and smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before measurement. These

factors influence the measurement result. Find time to relax by sitting in an armchair in a quiet

atmosphere for about ten minutes before taking a measurement.

• Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.

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

• Always compare measurements taken at the same time of day, since blood pressure changes

during the course of the day, as much as 20-40 mmHg.

5.2. Common sources of error:

Note: Comparable blood pressuremeasurements always requirethe same conditions!

Conditions should always be quiet.

• All efforts by the user to support the arm can increase blood pressure. Make sure you are in a com-

fortable, 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 lies considerably lower or higher than the heart, an erroneously high or low blood

pressure will be measured! Each 15cm (6 inch) difference in height between your heart and the cuff

results in a measurement error of 10 mmHg!

•Cuffs that are too narrow or too short result in false measurement values. Selecting the correct cuff

is extremely important. Cuffsize is dependent upon the circumference of the arm(measured in the

center). The permissible range is printed on the cuff. If this is not suitable for your use, please call 1-

800-568-4147.

Note: Only use clinically approved Microlife cuffs!

• A loose 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.

Consecutive blood pressure measurements should be repeated after a 1 minute pause or after your

armhas been held up in order to allow the accumulated blood to flow away.

If you decide to take your Averaging Mode measurement again, be sure to wait at least one

minute beforehand.
