1. Introduction

1.1.Features of your Microlife Premium Portable Automatic Blood Pressure

Monitor

Your Microlife blood pressure monitor with Microlife Averaging Mode and Irregular

Heartbeat Detection is a fully automatic digital blood pressure measuring device for use

by adults on the upper arm at home or in your doctor’s/nurse’s office. It enables very fast

and reliable measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as pulse by way

of the oscillometric method. This device offers clinically proven accuracy and has been

designed to be portable and very 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 (Arrhythmia), 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/low blood pressure arise?

Your level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of the brain and

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

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

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

blood vessel walls.

Your level of arterial blood pressure changes periodically during heart activity: During the

“blood ejection” (Systole) the value is highest (systolic blood pressure value). 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. 3

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 are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, keep a

recordof 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 are normal?

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

have been established by the National Institutes of Health JNCV7, 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 direction,

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. You must receive advice regarding the type and

extent of exercise that is appropriate for you.
