Dear Customer,
This device was developed in collaboration with physicians and
clinical tests carried out prove its measurement accuracy to be of
a very high standard.*
Microlife AFIB detection is the world’s leading digital blood pres-
sure measurement technology for the detection of atrial fibrillation
(AF) and arterial hypertension. These are the two top risk factors
of getting a stroke or heart disease. It is important to detect AF and
hypertension at an early stage, even though you may not experi-
ence any symptoms. AF screening in general and thus also with
the Microlife AFIB algorithm, is recommended for people of 65
years and older. The AFIB algorithm indicates that atrial fibrillation
may be present. For this reason, it is recommended that you visit
your doctor when the device gives an AFIB signal during your
blood pressure measurement. The AFIB algorithm of Microlife has
been clinically investigated by several prominent clinical investiga-
tors and showed that the device detects patients with AFIB at a
certainty of 97-100%. 1,2
If you have any questions, problems or want to order spare parts
please contact your local Microlife-Customer Service. Your dealer
or pharmacy will be able to give you the address of the Microlife
dealer in your country. Alternatively, visit the internet at
www.microlife.com where you will find a wealth of invaluable infor-
mation on our products.
Stay healthy – Microlife AG!
* This device uses the same measuring technology as the award
winning «BP 3BTO-A» model tested according to the British and
Irish Hypertension Society (BIHS) protocol.

1. Appearance of the Atrial Fibrillation Indicator for
early Detection (Active only in AFIB/MAM mode)
This device is able to detect atrial fibrillation (AF). This symbol AR
indicates that atrial fibrillation was detected during the measure-
ment. Please refer to the next paragraph for information regarding
the consultation with your doctor.

3Microlife BP A6 Advanced Easy EN
What is Atrial Fibrillation (AF)?
Normally, your heart contracts and relaxes to a regular beat.
Certain cells in your heart produce electrical signals that cause the
heart to contract and pump blood. Atrial fibrillation occurs when
rapid, disorganized electrical signals are present in the heart’s two
upper chambers, called the atria; causing them to contract irregu-
larly (this is called fibrillation). Atrial fibrillation is the most common
form of heart arrhythmia. It often causes no symptoms, yet it
significantly increases your risk of stroke. You’ll need a doctor to
help you control the problem.
Who should be screened for Atrial Fibrillation?
AF screening is recommended for people over 65 years of age,
since the chance of having a stroke increases with age.
AF screening is also recommended for people from the age of
50 years who have high blood pressure (e.g. SYS higher than 159
or DIA higher than 99) as well as those with diabetes, coronary
heart failure or for those who have previously had a stroke.
In young people or in pregnancy AF screening is not recom-
mended as it could generate false results and unnecessary
anxiety. In addition, young individuals with AF have a low risk of
getting stroke as compared to elder people.
Risk factors you can control
Early diagnosis of AF followed by adequate treatment can signifi-
cantly reduce the risk of getting stroke. Knowing your blood pres-
sure and knowing whether you have AF is the first step in proactive
stroke prevention.

2. Important facts about blood pressure
and self-measurement
Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood flowing in the
arteries generated by the pumping of the heart. Two values, the
systolic (upper) value and the diastolic (lower) value, are
always measured.
The device indicates the pulse rate (the number of times the
heart beats in a minute).
Permanently high blood pressure values can damage your
health and must be treated by your doctor!
Always discuss your values with your doctor and tell them if you
have noticed anything unusual or feel unsure. Never rely on
single blood pressure readings.
There are several causes of excessively high blood pressure
values. Your doctor will explain them in more detail and offer
treatment where appropriate.
Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of
drugs or initiate a treatment without consulting your
doctor.
Depending on physical exertion and condition, blood pressure
is subject to wide fluctuations as the day progresses. You
should therefore take your measurements in the same
quiet conditions and when you feel relaxed! Take at least
two readings every time (in the morning and in the evening) and
average the measurements.
It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succes-
sion to produce significantly different results.
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
atrial fibrillation indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse irregularity during measurement. The device is
clinically tested.
The AFIB symbol is displayed after the measurement, if atrial
fibrillation occurred during measuring. If the AFIB symbol
appears after having performed a full blood pressure measure-
ment episode (triplicate measurements), the patient is advised
to perform another measurement episode (triplicate measure-
ments). If the AFIB symbol appears again, we recommend the
patient to seek medical advice.
If the AFIB-symbol appears on the screen of the blood pressure
monitor, it indicates the possible presence of atrial fibrillation.
The atrial fibrillation diagnosis however, must be made by a
cardiologist based on ECG interpretation.
Keep the arm still during measuring to avoid false readings.
This device may not or wrongly detect atrial fibrillation in
people with pacemakers or defibrillators.
In the presence of atrial fibrillation the diastolic blood
pressure value may not be accurate.
In the presence of atrial fibrillation using AFIB/MAM-mode
is recommended for more reliable blood pressure
measurement.

4
Deviations between measurements taken by your doctor or in
the pharmacy and those taken at home are quite normal, as
these situations are completely different.
Several measurements provide much more reliable
information about your blood pressure than just one single
measurement.
Leave a small break of >5 minutes between two
measurements.
If you suffer from a cardiac arrhythmia consult with your doctor
before using the device. See also chapter «Appearance of the
Atrial Fibrillation Indicator for early Detection (Active only in
AFIB/MAM mode)» of this user manual.
The pulse display is not suitable for checking the
frequency of heart pacemakers!
If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure
regularly as it can change drastically during this time.
3. Using the device for the first time
Inserting the batteries
Switch the lock switch AT to «unlock» position. The battery
compartment 5 is on the bottom of the device. Insert the batteries
(4 x 1.5 V, size AAA), 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).
 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.
If you buy a spare Microlife cuff, please remove the cuff connector
7 from the cuff tube 8 from the cuff supplied with the original
device and insert this cuff connector into the tube of the spare cuff
(valid for all cuff sizes).
Spare part cuffs are delivered with different cuff connectors 7. If
you exchange/replace the cuff for this device please ensure that is
the same connector as the one supplied with the original cuff.
Selecting standard or MAM mode
This device enables you to select either standard (standard single
measurement) or AFIB/MAM mode (automatic triple measure-
ment). To select standard mode, slide the AFIB/MAM switch 7 on
the side of the device downwards to position «1» and to select
AFIB/MAM mode, slide this switch upwards to position «3».
MAM-Mode
In AFIB/MAM mode, 3 measurements are automatically taken in
succession and the result is then automatically analysed and
displayed. Because the blood pressure constantly fluctuates, a
result determined in this way is more reliable than one produced
by a single measurement.
When you select the 3 measurements, the AFIB/MAM-symbol
BT appears in the display.
The bottom, right hand section of the display shows a 1, 2 or 3
to indicate which of the 3 measurements is currently being
taken.
There is a break of 15 seconds between the measurements.
A count down indicates the remaining time.
The individual results are not displayed. Your blood pressure
will only be displayed after all 3 measurements are taken.
Do not remove the cuff between measurements.
If one of the individual measurements was questionable, a
fourth one is automatically taken.
This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and
pre-eclampsia. When you detect unusual high readings in
pregnancy, you should measure after a short while again
(eg. 1 hour). If the reading is still too high, consult your
doctor or gynecologist.
In pregnancy the AFIB symbol can be ignored.
Cuff size for circumference of upper arm
S 17 - 22 cm
M 22 - 32 cm
M - L 22 - 42 cm
L 32 - 42 cm
L - XL 32 - 52 cm
Only use Microlife cuffs.
Microlife AFIB is also activated in standard mode. If the
device detects AF in standard mode, the cuff pressure will
stop at a level of approx. 60 mmHg to receive more data.
The hourglass 15 will appear in the display.

4. Taking a blood pressure measurement
Checklist for taking a reliable measurement
1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the
measurement.
2. Sit down on a back-supported chair and relax for 5 minutes.
Keep your feet flat on the floor and do not cross your legs.
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 1-2 cm above the
elbow.
The artery mark 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. Slide the lock switch AT down to the «unlock» position. Press
the START/STOP button 1 to start measuring.
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 AQ flashes
in the display.
10.The result, comprising the systolic AK and the diastolic AL
blood pressure and the pulse rate AM are 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 automati-
cally after approx. 1 min.).
How do I evaluate my blood pressure
The LED traffic light indicator on the left-hand side of the display
AP indicates within which range the measured blood pressure lies.
The value is either within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow) or
high (red) range. The classification corresponds to the following
ranges defined by international guidelines (ESH, ESC, JSH).
Data in mmHg.
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».
5. Data memory
This device always stores the last result at the end of the measure-
ment. To recall the reading, press and hold the ON/OFF button 1
while the device is switched off. Release the button as soon as all
display elements are shown. The stored result will then be shown,
indicated with the letter «M» AP.
6. Battery indicator and battery change
Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol
AN will flash as soon as the device is switched on (partly filled
You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
START/STOP button or open the cuff (e.g. if you feel
uneasy or an unpleasant pressure sensation).
If the systolic blood pressure is known to be very high,
it can be an advantage to set the pressure individually.
Press the START/STOP button after the monitor has been
pumped up to a level of approx. 30 mmHg (shown on the
display). Keep the button pressed until the pressure is
about 40 mmHg above the expected systolic value – then
release the button.
