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).
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.
How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

The LED traffic light indicator on the left-hand side of the display 8 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 range defined by ACC, AHA 2017 Guidelines. Data in mmHg.
Range Systoli
c
Diastolic Recommendation
1blood pressure too
high
≧130 or ≧80 Seek medical advice
2blood pressure
elevated
120
-130 and ＜80 Self-check
3blood pressure
optimum
＜120 and ＜80 Self-check
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».
Average Indicator « MyCheck »
This symbol 29 indicates after each measurement, if the most recent measured value
lies below, above or on the same level as your stored average value (see also chapter
« 4 Data Memory »)
* If the measured Systole or Diastole is more than 5mmHg high than the stored
average, the arrow shows upwards.
* If the measured Systole or Diastole is more than 5mmHg lower than the stored
average, the arrow shows downwards.
* If the measured Systole and Diastole do not differ by more than 5mmHg from the
stored average, the arrow straight on.
* If the measured systole and diastole differ in different direction from the stored
average, this is indicated first with the systole figure flashing, together with the up or
down arrow for the seconds, Thereafter, the diastole figure flashes with the arrow
pointing up or down for two seconds.
Appearance of the Irregular heartbeat Indicator
This irregular heartbeat indicator 22 is displayed, when pulse irregularities occurred
during the measurement. If the symbol appears, it is recommended to select MAM
Mode and repeat measurement to double confirm the blood pressure reading: see
details in chapter «1»
The irregular heartbeat symbol indicates that certain pulse irregularities were detected
during the measurement. In this case, the result may deviate from your normal basal
blood pressure – repeat the measurement. 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:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the irregular heartbeat
symbol
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor device that also analyzes
pulse frequency during measurement. The instrument is clinically tested. If pulse
irregularities occur during measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol is displayed
after the measurement. If the symbol appears more frequently (e.g., several times per
week on measurements performed daily) or if it suddenly appears more often than
usual, we recommend the patient to seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination but serves to detect pulse
irregularities at an early stage.

* Only measurement that were performed in the morning between (05:00-10:59) or in
the evening (17:00-22:59)
* A maximum of 4 readings per day are considered (2 from the morning and 2 from the
evening)
* Measurements performed in standard mode and in MAM-mode are considered in
the average, when they have been performed during the right time of the day.
* Measurements performed in MAM-modes or single standard mode are both classed
as single measurement for working out the «MyBP average».
* Blood pressure reading with suboptimal cuff fit 20-A are not considered in the
average value.
