product operation and safety information regarding this Blood
Pressure Monitor. Please read this document thoroughly before
using the device and keep for future reference.
Indications for Use
The Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3KV1-5W is a device intended to
measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of an adult individual
by using a non-invasive oscillometric technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped
around the upper arm for a circumference range from 22 to 42cm. The device detects
the appearance of irregular heartbeat during measurement and gives a warning signal
with the reading once the irregular heartbeat is detected.
The device can be used in connection with a smart phone running the APP. The
memory data can be transferred to the smart phone via Bluetooth.
WARNING – Potentially hazardous situation that if not avoided may result in
serious injury or death.

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.
Contact your local Microlife Service if the enclosed cuff 12 does not fit.
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector 14 into the cuff
socket 3 as far as it will go.
Selecting the user
This device allows to store the results for 2 individual users.
→Select the intended user (User 1 or User 2) 23 by pressing the user button 5.
→Before each measurement, ensure that the correct user is selected.
Select the measuring mode: standard or MAM mode
Before each measurement, select standard (single measurement) or MAM mode
(automatic double measurement). In MAM mode, 2 measurements are automatically
taken in succession and the result is then automatically analysed and displayed.
Because blood pressure constantly fluctuates, a result determined in this way is more
reliable than a single measurement is performed.

•When you select MAM mode, the MAM-symbol 24 appears in the display.
•To select standard mode, slide the MAM switch 7 on the side of the device
downwards to position «1» and to select MAM mode, slide this switch upwards to
position «3».
•The bottom, right hand section of the display shows a 1 or 2 to indicated which of the
2 measurements is currently being taken.
•There is a break of 15 seconds between the measurements. A count down indicates
the remaining time. The circle icon 30 will go circle also during interval time.
• The individual results are not displayed. Your blood pressure will only be displayed
after all measurements are taken.
•Do not remove the cuff between measurements.
•If one of the individual measurements was questionable, an additional one is
automatically taken.
2. 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 recommended that doctors
perform double arm measurements on a patient 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.

3. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement
1. Select standard (single measurement) or MAM (Automatic double measurements);
see details in chapter «1».
2. Press the ON/OFF button 1, the backlight will be turn on and to start the
measurement.
3. 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.
4. The cuff fit check 20 on the display indicates that the cuff is perfectly placed. If the
icon 20-A appears, the cuff is fitted suboptimally, but it is still ok to measure.
5. 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.
6. During the measurement, the pulse indicator 28 flashes in the display.
7. The result, comprising the systolic 16 and the diastolic 17 blood pressure and the
pulse rate 18, Cuff Fit Check 20 (and MyCheck 29) is displayed. Note also the
explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.
8. When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
9. 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 1 (e.g.
if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant pressure sensation).
* The 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.
Manual Inflation
In case of high systolic blood pressure (e.g. above 135mmHg), it can be an advantage
to set the pressure individually, Press the ON/OFF button 1 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.
How not to store a reading
As soon as the reading is displayed, press and hold the ON/OFF button 1 until «M» 25
is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by pressing the Bluetooth/Time button 4.
* « CL » is displayed when the reading is deleted from the memory successfully.
