1. Introduction

1.1. Features of your Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor

Your blood pressure monitor with Mi rolife Averaging Mode, Irregular Heartbeat

Dete tion, and PC Link Blood Pressure Analyzer Software is a fully automati digital

blood pressure measuring devi e for use by adults on the upper arm at home or in

your do tor’s/nurse’s offi e. It enables very fast and reliable measurement of systoli

and diastoli blood pressure as well as pulse through the os illometri method. This

devi e offers lini ally proven a ura y and has been designed to be user friendly.

Before using, please read this instru tion manual arefully and then keep it in a safe

pla e. Please onta t your do tor for further questions on the subje t of blood pres-

sure and its measurement.

Attention!

1.2. Important information about self-measurement

• Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment. Unusual values

must always be dis ussed with your do tor. Under no circumstances should

you alter the dosages of any drugs prescribed by your doctor.

•The pulse display is not suitable for he king the frequen y of heart pa emakers!

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

only be evaluated after onsultation with your do tor.

Electromagnetic interference:

The devi e ontains sensitive ele troni omponents. Avoid strong ele tri al or ele -

tromagneti fields in the dire t vi inity of the devi e (e.g. mobile telephones,

mi rowave ovens). These an lead to temporary impairment of the measuring a ura y.

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 ir ulatory enter of the brain and

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

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

ir ulatory blood vessels is altered. Blood vessel width is ontrolled by fine mus les

in the blood vessel walls.

Your level of arterial blood pressure hanges periodi ally during heart a tivity: During

the “blood eje tion” (Systole) the value is highest (systoli blood pressure value). At

the end of the heart’s “rest period” (Diastole) pressure is lowest (diastoli blood pres-

sure value).

Blood pressure values must lie within ertain normal ranges in order to prevent par-

ti ular diseases.

2.2. Which values are normal?

Blood pressure is very high if your diastoli pressure is above 100 mmHg and/or

your systoli blood pressure is over 160 mmHg, while at rest. In this ase,

please onsult your physi ian immediately. Long-term values at this level endan-

ger your health due to ontinual damage to the blood vessels in your body.

If your systoli blood pressure values are between 140 mmHg and 159mmHg

and/or the diastoli blood pressure values between 90 mmHg and 99mmHg,

onsult your physi ian. Regular self- he ks are ne essary.

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

105mmHg and/or diastoli values under 60 mmHg), onsult your physi ian.

Even with normal blood pressure values, a regular self- he k with your blood

pressure monitor is re ommended. You an dete t possible hanges in your val-

ues early and rea t appropriately.

If you are undergoing medi al treatment to ontrol your blood pressure, keep a

re ord of values along with time of day and date. Show these values to your

physi ian. 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 in adults 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 onditions but ex eptionally high

under onditions of physi al or psy hologi al stress, it is possible that you are

suffering from so- alled “labile hypertension.” Consult your do tor.

•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 do tor.

b) In reased blood pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are asso iated

with onsiderable health risks over time. Arterial blood vessels in your body are

endangered due to onstri tion aused by deposits in the vessel walls

(Arterios lerosis). A defi ient supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain,

mus les) an result from arterios lerosis. Furthermore, the heart will be ome

stru turally damaged with in reased blood pressure values.

) There are many different auses of high blood pressure. We differentiate

between the ommon primary (essential) hypertension, and se ondary hyperten-

sion. The latter group an be as ribed to spe ifi organ malfun tions. Please on-

sult your do tor for information about the possible origins of your own in reased

blood pressure values.

d) There are measures whi h you an take to redu e and even prevent high blood

pressure. These measures must be permanent lifestyle hanges.

A) Eating habits

• Strive for a normal weight orresponding to your age. See your do tor for your

ideal weight.

• Avoid ex essive onsumption of ommon salt.

• Avoid fatty foods.

B) Previous illnesses

• Consistently follow all medi al instru tions for treating illness su h as:

• Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus or sugar diabetes)

• Fat metabolism disorder

• Gout

C) Habits

• Give up smoking ompletely.

• Drink only moderate amounts of al ohol.

• Restri t your affeine onsumption ( offee, tea, ho olate).

D) Your physical condition

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

direction; exercise.

• Choose sports whi h require stamina and avoid those whi h require strength.

• Avoid rea hing the limit of your performan e.

• With previous illnesses and/or an age of over 40 years, please onsult

your do tor before beginning your exer ise routine. Speak with your do tor

regarding the type and extent of exer ise that is appropriate for you.

4.3. Cuff tube connection

Insert the uff tube into the opening on

the side of the monitor indi ated by the

drawing of a uff.

4.4. Cuff holder attachment

Atta h the uff holder to the bottom of the

monitor by inserting the tabs into the slots provided.

4.5. Select the Measuring Mode: Standard or

Microlife Averaging Mode

This instrument enables you to sele t either standard (single

measurement) or Mi rolife Averaging Mode (automati triple

measurement). To sele t standard mode, push the swit h on

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

sele t Averaging mode, upwards to Position “3”. If you sele t

1 then only one measurement will be taken. If you sele t 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 120 meas-

urements for ea h of two users. In addition, there is a guest

mode in whi h results are not stored. Before taking a meas-

urement, be ertain that the orre t user has been sele ted.

a) With the unit off, press and release the TIME button to

y le through users (“1,”2,”or guest mode).

b) Press the START button to make your sele tion.

4.6. Microlife Averaging Mode Technology

• In Mi rolife Averaging Mode, three measurements are auto mati ally taken in su -

ession and the result then automati ally analyzed and displayed. Be ause your

blood pressure onstantly flu tuates, a result determined in this way is more reliable

than one produ ed by a single measurement.

• After pressing the Start/Stop button the sele ted Mi rolife Averaging Mode

appears in the display as the symbol.

• The bottom, right hand se tion of the display shows a 1, 2 or 3 to indi ate whi h of

the 3 measurements is urrently being taken.

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 dire tly before

measurement. These fa tors influen e the measurement result. Find time to

relax by sitting in an arm hair in a quiet atmosphere for about ten minutes

before taking a measurement.

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

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

• Always ompare measurements taken at the same time of day, sin e blood

pressure hanges during the ourse of the day, as mu h as 20-40 mmHg.

5.2. Common sources of error:

Note: Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the

same conditions! Conditions should always be quiet.

• All efforts by the user to support the arm an in rease blood pressure. Make

sure you are in a omfortable, relaxed position and do not flex any of the

mus les in the measurement arm during the measurement. Use a ushion for

support if ne essary.

• If the arm artery lies onsiderably lower or higher than the heart, an erro-

neously high or low blood pressure will be measured! Ea h 15 m (6 in h) dif-

feren e in height between your heart and the uff results in a measurement

error of 10 mmHg!

• Cuffs that are too narrow or too short result in false measurement values.

Sele ting the orre t uff is extremely important. Cuff size is dependent upon

the ir umferen e of the arm (measured in the enter). The permissible range

is printed on the uff. If this is not suitable for your use, please all 1-800-

568-4147.

Note: Only use clinically approved Microlife cuffs!

•

A loose uff or a sideways protruding air po ket auses false measurement values.

• With repeated measurements, blood a umulates in the arm, whi h an lead

to false results. Conse utive blood pressure measurements should be repeat-

ed after a 1 minute pause or after your arm has been held up in order to allow

the a umulated blood to flow away.

If you de ide to take your Averaging Mode measurement again, be sure to

wait at least one minute beforehand.

5.3. Fitting the Cuff

a) The uff is pre-formed for easier use.

Remove tight or bulky lothing from your

upper arm.

b) Wrap the uff around your upper left

arm. The rubber tube should be on the

inside of your arm extending downward

to your hand. Make ertain the uff lies

approximately 1/2” to 3/4” (1 to 2 m)

above the elbow.

Important! The red strip on the edge of

the uff (Artery Mark) must lie over the

artery whi h runs down the inner side of

the arm.

TIP: Align red artery mark to pinky finger.

) To se ure the uff, wrap it around your

arm and press the vel ro together.

d) There should be little free spa e

between the arm and the uff. You

should able to fit 2 fingers between your

arm and the uff. Clothing must not

restri t the arm. Any pie e of lothing

whi h does, must be removed. Cuffs

that don’t fit properly result in false

measurement values. Measure your arm

ir umferen e if you are not sure of

proper fit.

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

so the uff 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 measure-

ment.
