1. Introduction

Your new Microlife Monitor is a high quality medical device that measures your

maximum possible exhalation which is called «peak flow» (referred to in medical

terms as PEF - Peak Expiratory Flow).

Regular monitoring of your peak flow is extremely useful for controlling diseases

of the airways such as asthma or chronic bronchitis. After the peak flow result is

shown, a further value (for FEV1) will then be indicated. This value is also of interest

for your doctor.

The measurements can be performed on your own, because the Microlife Monitor

is very simple to use. It is as suitable for children in the pre-school age as for the

elderly.

Because the device has an automatic memory of 240 data entries, you do not need

to note the values down; simply take the device with you the next time you visit

your doctor. The device can be connected to a computer, and the values can be

analysed by using the Microlife Asthma analyser software program. Alternatively,

the values can be printed out with the small Microlife Diagnostic Printer (optional

accessory).

Read through this instruction manual carefully before using the device and then

keep it in a safe place.

3.1. Inserting the Batteries

1. Please open the Battery Compartment from

underneath and insert the two batteries (1.5V,

size AAA).

2. Please watch the polarity as indicated by the

symbols in the compartment.

3.2. Setting Date and Time

The monitor automatically records the time and

date of each measurement. After new batteries

have been inserted, the time/date display shows

the following setting: year: 2002; day 01, month 01

and time 00:00 o’clock.

You must then re-enter the date and current time.

To do this, proceed as follows (Example: Entering

15th June 2002, 09:50 o’clock):

1. Please open the Data Compartment from

underneath at the position of the data symbol

indication.

2. Press the small time switch next to the clock

symbol with a pen and «2002» starts blinking;

release the switch.

3. Using the two arrow keys on the front of

the monitor you can decrease (left arrow button)

or increase (right arrow button) the number.

Release the arrow button when the correct

number is reached.

4. Press the time switch again to confirm the

year setting and move to the month setting.

The month digits blink.

5. The current month can now be entered by

pressing the arrow button. (Example: pressing

5 times the right arrow button advances to 06

for June)

6. Press the time switch again to confirm the

month setting and move to the day setting.

The day digits blink.

7. The current day can now be entered by

pressing the arrow button. (Example: pressing

14 times the right arrow button advances to

15 for 15th June)

8. Press the time switch again to confirm the

day setting and move to the hour setting. The

hour digits blink.

9. The current hour can now be entered by the

arrow button. (Example: pressing 9 times the

right arrow button moves to 09 for 09 o’clock)

10. Press the time switch again to confirm the

hour setting and move to the minute setting.

The minute digits will now blink.

11. The current minutes can now be entered by

pressing the arrow button. (Example: pressing

9 times on the left arrow button moves to 50

for 09:50 o’clock).

12. Press the time switch again to confirm all

settings. Date and time are now stored, the

clock starts running and the monitor switches

to «ready» state condition which enable your

first measurement.

13. Close the data compartment.

Please note:

• If you hold down the arrow key for more than 2 seconds it speeds up.

• Date /time can also be set easily from computer when you run the Microlife

Asthma Analyser Software.

4. Carrying out a Measurement

• When different people use this meter their individual readings cannot

be assigned to different users when the data is stored.

• If time/date is not set, measurements can not be performed.

•If another person intends to use the device permanently, all data from the

previous user should be erased as explained in this manual.

•In case another user has already used the monitor, we recommend disinfecting

the measuring tube as explained in this manual. In this case we also

recommend that each user uses a new mouthpiece. Extra mouthpieces can be

ordered through your Microlife dealer.

1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the monitor

on. At first, the last result of the memory is

shown («0» if there are not yet data) and then

the device indicates «READY» for a measure-

ment by two short beeps and blinking arrows.

2. You can perform the measurement while

standing or sitting upright. For better compa-

rison of your data you should always perform

the measurement in a similar position.

3. Hold the monitor with both hands on the two

rubber areas (compartments).

4. Inhale completely and hold your breath for a

moment.

5. Cover the mouthpiece tightly with your lips.

6. Blow into the measuring tube as hard and as

fast as you can.

7. A long beep confirms that the result

is recorded. The peak flow value

is displayed for about 3 seconds,

then the FEV1is shown. Afterwards

the monitor is ready for a new

measurement which is indicated by

two short beeps.

8. It is recommended to perform three

or more measurements sequentially. Please

note that the monitor only saves the highest

reading from switching the device on until

switching it off.

9. After each measurement, at first the actual

reading is shown in the display and then it

switches automatically to the highest reading

of your current measurement session.

10. Press the ON/OFF button to switch the

monitor off. Before the monitor switches off,

the highest value and its related memory

position «MR xx» is displayed.

11. Store the monitor in a clean and dust free place.

Traffic light indicator on the device

After the measurement, a small arrow in the display will indicate if the reading is in

the green, yellow or red range.

500 l/min is defined as reference value.

If a reading is above 80% (> 400 l/min) of the reference value, it will be indicated

in the green range. A reading in the yellow range indicates a reading between 60%

and 80% (300 l/min - 400 l/min) of the reference value. A reading in the red range

indicates a reading below 60% (< 300 l/min) of the reference value.

It would be best to determine the area limits together with your physician and when

required these ranges can be set manually within the software.

5. Important Information for Measurement and Control of your values

•It is necessary to keep regular control of your peak flow values. Doctors generally

recommend taking one measurement in the morning and one in the evening, every

day, normally before inhaling your prescribed medication. Carry out additional

measurements whenever you feel unwell or perceive shortness of breath.

•Your doctor is only interested in the highest peak flow value that you can

achieve during a measurement session. Please repeat the measurements until

you feel you have got the best possible result for the moment. Take care to

have sufficient relaxation between measurements. In case of poorer results at

each successive measurement session talk to your doctor. It may be a sign of

instable asthma.

• Please note that asthma attacks are indicated in advance by low peak

flow values before you feel it! Please contact your doctor in cases

such as these. Also do so if you have signs and symptoms such as

chest tightness, shortness of breath coughing or wheezing.

•Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment. In any

event, please be sure to discuss your measured values with your

doctor. Your doctor will also explain which values are normal for you.

•You should never alter the dosages of any medication without talking to your

doctor.

•Please note that the device stores up to 240 measured values with date and time.

When the memory is full, the oldest values are automatically erased!

Make sure you visit your doctor in time to analyse your data.

•Please confirm that date and time settings are always actual.

•The performance of the monitor can be affected by extremes of temperature

and humidity. Please refer to «technical specifications» for details.

6. Self-Assessment with the Traffic Light Scheme

The so-called «traffic light scheme» allows you to self-assess your measured values

and the course of your illness. This leads to an independent assessment of your

illness symptoms with adjustment of your medication. If you or your physician wish

to make use of this scheme, an asthma control card is enclosed with the device, on

which a green, a yellow, and a red area are marked. The area limits should best be

determined together with your physician and entered into the card.
