CE Marking of Conformity

Intended use:
This oscillometric blood pressure monitor is intended for measuring non- invasive blood pressure in people aged 12 years or older.
It is clinically validated in patients with hypertension, hypotension, diabetes, pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, atherosclerosis, end-stage renal disease, obesity and the elderly.
The device can detect an irregular pulse suggestive of Atrial Fibrillation (AF). Please note that the device is not intended to diagnose AF. A diagnosis of AF can only be confirmed by ECG. The patient is advised to see a physician.

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

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.

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.

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.

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.
• 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.
  • 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.

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).

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.

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.
  • 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.

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).

6. Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.

7. Make sure that the cuff is positioned 1-2 cm above the elbow.

8. 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.

9. Support your arm so it is relaxed.

10. Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.

11. Slide the lock switch AT down to the «unlock» position. Press the START/STOP button 1 to start measuring.

12. 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.

13. 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.

14. During the measurement, the pulse indicator AQ flashes
    in the display.

15. 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.

16. When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.

17. Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automati-cally after approx. 1 min.).

18. You can stop the measurement at any time by pressin g the START/STOP button or open the cuff (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant pressure sensation).

19. 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.

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.

elevated

| 130 – 134| 80 – 84| Self-check
3.| blood pressure normal| < 130| < 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».

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.

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 battery displayed). Although the device will continue to measure reliably, you should obtain replacement batteries.

Flat battery – replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AN will flash as soon as the device is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.

1. Open the battery compartment 5 on the bottom of the device.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the symbols in the compartment.

Which batteries and which procedure?

• Use 4 new, long-life 1.5 V, size AAA alkaline batteries.
• Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.
• Remove batteries if the device is not going to be used for a prolonged period.

Using rechargeable batteries
You can also operate this device using rechargeable batteries.

• Only use «NiMH» type reusable batteries.
• Batteries must be removed and recharged when the flat battery symbol appears. They should not remain inside the device as they may become damaged (total discharge as a result of low use of the device, even when switched off).
• Always remove the rechargeable batteries if you do not intend to use the device for a week or more.
• Batteries cannot be charged in the blood pressure monitor. Recharge batteries in an external charger and observe the information regarding charging, care and durability.
