This blood pressure monitor is an automatic digital blood pressure measuring device ;.
for
use
by
adults
on
the
upper
arm
at
home
or
in
the
doctor's
office.
It
enables
a
very
fast and reliable measurement of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, as well as
the pulse rate, by way of the oscillometric method. This device detects the appearance
of irregular heartbeats during measurement and provides a warning signal when the '
irregular heartbeat is detected. The device can be used in connection with your personal
computer (PC) running the Microlife'Blood Pressure Analyzer (BPA) software; the memo:
ry data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the monitor via cable with theaPC'.
This

Important
information
about
self-measurement
.
0 Self measurement is a way to monitor hypertension. It Is not a means for diagnosis
or
treatment.
Unusual
values
must
always
be
discussed.
with
your
doctor
Under
no
circumstances should you alter the dosages of any drugs prescribed by
your doctor.
0 The pulse display Is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers!
0
In
cases
of
irregular
heartbeat,
measurements
made
with.
this.
instrument
should
only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor. '
Electromagnetic interference:
The device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or electro—
magnetic fields In the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones, microWave
ovens). These can lead to temporary impairment of the measuring accuracy.
2.1mportantlnformation on Blood Pressure and its Measurement
21
How
does
high
or
low
blood
pressure
arise?
Your
level
of
blood
pressure
is
determined
In
the
circulatory
center
of
the
brain
and
adjusts to a variety of situations through feedback from the nervous system. . To adjust
blood
pressure
the
strength
and
Speed
of
the
heart
(Pulse),
as
well
as
the
width
of
cir:
culatory blood vessels Is altered. Blood vessel width Is controlled by fine muscles In
the
blood
vessel
walls.
.
Your level of arterial blood pressure changes periodically during heart activity: During
the "blood ejection" (Systole) the value IS highest (systolic blood pressure value). At the end
of the heart's "rest period" (Diastole) pressure is lowest (diastolic blood pressure value)
Blood pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in order to .preventpaittiou-
lgr
diseases.

2.2. Which values are normal? -. t' I I r I ,I
Blood pressure is very high if your systolic blood pressure is over 160 mmHg, and/or -'
your diastolic pressure is above 100 mmHg while at rest. In this case, please consult
your
physician
immediately.
Long-term
values
at
this
level
endanger
your
health
due
to
continual
damage
to
the
blood
vessels
In.
your
body.
If your systolic blood pressure values are between 140 mmHg and 159mmHg and7or
the diastolic blood pressure vaiuesbetween 90mmHg and 99mmHg. Iconjsultyour .
physician.
Regular
self-checks
are
necessary.
if you have blood. pressure values that are too low, (i.e., systolic values. under, -
105mmHgand/or diastolic values under 6.0. mmHg),.consu|t your physician.
Even with normal blood presstIre values, a regular self-check with'your blood pressure
monitor is recommended. You can detect possible changes In yoUr values early and.
react appropriately.
If you are undergoing medical treatment to control your blood pressure, keep a record
of values along with time of day and date. Show these vaIUes to your physician. Never
use the results of your measurements to independently alter the drug doses
prescribed by your physician.
Which
values
are

2.3. What can he done if regular high or low Values are obtained?
a)
Consult
your
doctor.
b) Increased blood pressdre‘values (variousforms of hypertension) are assOciated With
considerable health risks overtime. Arterial blood vessels in your body are endan-=
.gered
due
to
constriction
caused
by
deposits
in
the
vessel
walls
(Arteriosclerosis).
A
deficient supply ofbloodto important organs; (heart, brain. muscles) can result from
arteriosclerosis.
Furthermore,
the
heart
will
become
structurally
damaged
with
increased blood pressure values.
c) There are many different causes of high blood pressure We differentiate between
the common primary (essential) hypertension and secondary hypertension. The latter
group
can
be
ascribed
to
specific
organ
malfunctions.
Please
consult
your
doctor
for
information about the possible origins of your own increased blood pressure values.
d) There are measures which you can take to reduce and even prevent high blood pres-
sore. These measures must be permanent lifestyle changes.
A) Eating habits
. Strive for a normal weight corresponding to your age. see your doctor for your ideal
weight.

5. Measurement Procedure
Please note: You should always. be seated before and during measurement.
5.1.
Before
measurement:
0 Avoid eating and smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before measurement.
These factors influence the measurement result. Find time to relax by sitting in an
armchair in a quiet atmosphere for about 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
0
Remove
any
garment
that
fits
closely
to
your
upper
arm.
0
Always
measure
on
the
same
arm
(normally
left).
,
0 Always compare measurements taken at the same time of day, since blood pressure
changes
during
the
course
of
the
day,
as
much
as
20-40
mmHg.
5.2.
Common
sources
of
error:
Note: Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the .same
conditions!
Conditions
should
always
be
quiet.
0 All efforts by the user to support the arm can increase blood pressure. Make sure
youare
in
a'comfortable,
relaxed
position
and
do
not
flex
any
of
the
muscles
in
the

-- Aloose cuff or a sideways protruding air pocket causes false measurement values.
0 With repeated measurements, blood accumulates in the arm, which can lead to
false results. Consecutive blood pressure measurements should be repeated after a
1 minute pause or after your arm has been held up in order to allow the accumulat-
ed blood to flow ,
If you decide to take your Averaging Mode measurement again be sure to Wait at
least one minute beforehand.

Fitting
the
Cuff
a) Pass the end of the cuff through the flat metal ring so that a
loop lS formed. The Velcro closer must be facing outwards.
(Ignore this step if the cuff has already been prepared.)
b) Slide left arm through cuff until the bottom edge is about W
above your elbow. The rubber tube should be on the inside of
your arm extending downward to your hand.
Important! The red strip on the edge of the cuff (Artery Mark) 37 165
must
lie
over
the
artery
which
runs
down
the
Inner
side
of
the
.-
.
arm.
TIP: Align red artery mark to pinky finger.
c) To secure the cuff, wrap it around your arm and press the hack
and icon material together. Makesure that the cuffln'dex and
falls between the 0K lines when the cuff is in position. lfit a
doesn't, you are using the wrong cuff size.
d There should be little free space between the arm and'the
cuff. You should be able tofit 2fingers between y0ur am and
the cuff. Clothing must not restrict the arm. Any piece of cloth-
ing which does must be removed. Cuffs that don't fit properly
resuit in false measurement values. Measure your-arm circum-
ference if you are not sure of proper fit. . I
e) Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the Cuff isat the '
same height as the heart. Make sure that the tube‘" Is not
kinked.
f) Remain seated quietly for 5 minutes before. you begin the
measurement.
Comment:

-
,
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be
placed on your right arm However, all measurements should be _
made using the same arm. -
Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the
same conditions (Relax for 5 minutes before taking a
measurement).
