1. Introduction

1.1.Features of your Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor

Your blood pressure monitor with 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 doctor’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 clinically 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 temporary impairment 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 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 speed of the heart (Pulse), as well as the width of circu-

latory blood vessels is altered. Blood vessel width is controlled 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.

2.2. Which values are normal?

Blood pressure is very high if your diastolic pressure is above 100 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 your 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

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

cian. Never use the results of your measureme ts to i depe de tly alter the

drug doses prescribed by your physicia .

Which values are ormal?

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 and <80

Pre-Hypertension 120-139 or 80-89

Hypertension

Stage 1 Hypertension 140-159 or 90-99

Stage 2 Hypertension ≥160 or ≥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.

If you ever need to buy a replacement cuff, use only Microlife

brand cuffs. Call Microlife customer 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

4.1 Installing the batteries

Insert batteries immediately after unpacking the unit. The

battery compartment is located on the bottom of the device.

a) Remove cover.

b) Insert the batteries (4 x size AA 1,5V),

observing the indicated polarity.

c) If a battery warning appears in the display,

the batteries are discharged and must be replaced.

4.4. 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.

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 measure-

ment. 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 meas-

urement.

• 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 pressure measureme ts always require the same

co ditio s! Co ditio s should always be quiet.

•All efforts by the user to support the 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 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. Cuff size is dependent upon the circumfer-

ence 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: O ly use cli ically 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 arm has been held up in order to allow the accumulated

blood to flow away.

5.3. Fitting the Cuff

a) The cuff is pre-formed for easier use. Remove

tight or bulky clothing from your upper arm.

b) Wrap the cuff around your upper left arm.

The rubber tube should be on the inside of

your arm extending downward to your hand.

Make certain the cuff lies approximately 1/2”

to 3/4” (1 to 2 cm) above the elbow.

Important! The red strip on the edge of the

cuff (Artery Mark) must lie over the artery

which runs down the inner side of the arm.

c) To secure the cuff, wrap it around your arm

and press the velcro together.

d) There should be little free space between the

arm and the cuff. You should able to fit 2 fin-

gers between your arm and the cuff. Clothing

must not restrict the arm. Any piece of cloth-

ing which does, must be removed. Cuffs that

don’t fit properly result in false measurement

values. Measure your arm circumference if

you are not sure of proper fit.

e) Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the

cuff is at the same height as your heart.

Make sure the tube is not kinked.

f) Remain seated quietly for at least two

minutes before you begin the measurement.
