2. Using the Device for the First Time
Inserting the batteries
After you have unpacked your device, first insert the batteries. The
battery compartment
5
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.
Only use Microlife cuffs.
Contact your local 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).
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 9 and the diastolic AT
blood pressure and the pulse rate AK is displayed. Note also the
explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.
11.When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
12.Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automatically
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).
4. Appearance of the Heart Arrhythmia Indicator for
early Detection
This symbol AL indicates that certain pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may
deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measure-
ment. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the
symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with
measurements taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation:
5. Data Memory
This device automatically stores the last 30 measurement values.
Cuff size for circumference of upper arm
S 17 - 22 cm (6.75 - 8.75 inches)
M 22 - 32 cm (8.75 - 12.5 inches)
L 32 - 42 cm (12.5 - 16.5 inches)
M - L 22 - 42 cm (8.75 - 16.5 inches)
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
Arrhythmia indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The device is
clinically tested.
The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse
irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol appears
more frequently (e.g. several times per week on measurements
performed daily) we recommend the patient to seek medical advice.
This device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves
to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
