

This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and pre-

eclampsia. When you detect unusual high readings in preg-

nancy, you should measure again after 4 hours. If the

reading is still too high, consult your doctor or gynaecologist.

How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.

Example: a blood pressure value of 140/80 mmHg or a value of

130/90 mmHg indicates «blood pressure too high».

2. Using the Device for the First Time

Inserting the batteries

After you have unpacked your device, first insert the batteries. The

battery compartment

is on the bottom of the device. Insert the

batteries (4 x 1.5 V, size AA), thereby observing the indicated polarity.

Selecting the correct cuff

Microlife offers different cuff sizes. Select the cuff size to match the

circumference of your upper arms (measured by close fitting in the

centre of the upper arm).



Optional preformed cuffs «Easy» are available for better

fitting and comfort.



Only use Microlife cuffs.



Contact Microlife Service if the enclosed cuff 6 does not fit.



Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector 7

into the cuff socket 3 as far as it will go.

3. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement using this

Device

Checklist for taking a reliable measurement

1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the

measurement.

2. Sit down for at least 5 minutes before the measurement and relax.

3. Always measure on the same arm (normally left). It is recom-

mended that doctors perform double arm measurements on a

patients first visit in order to determine which arm to measure in

the future. The arm with the higher blood pressure should be

measured.

4. Remove close-fitting garments from the upper arm. To avoid

constriction, shirt sleeves should not be rolled up - they do not

interfere with the cuff if they are laid flat.

5. Always ensure that the correct cuff size is used (marking on the

cuff).

 Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.

 Make sure that the cuff is positioned 2 cm above the elbow.

 The artery mark located on the cuff (ca. 3 cm long bar) must

lie over the artery which runs down the inner side of the arm.

 Support your arm so it is relaxed.

 Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.

6. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to start the measurement.

7. The cuff will now pump up automatically. Relax, do not move

and do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement

result is displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.

8. When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops and the

pressure falls gradually. If the required pressure was not reached,

the device will automatically pump some more air into the cuff.

9. During the measurement, the pulse indicator AM flashes in the

display.

10.The result, comprising the systolic 8 and the diastolic 9

blood pressure and the pulse rate AT is displayed.

11.When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.

12.Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automati-

cally after approx. 1 min.).



You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the

ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant

pressure sensation).
