Important Information on the subject of blood pressure and its measurement:

• How does high/low blood pressure arise?

  • High blood pressure can occur when the diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg and/or the systolic pressure is over 160 mmHg, while at rest. It is important to consult a physician immediately in such cases as long-term high blood pressure levels can lead to damage to the blood vessels.
  • Low blood pressure, on the other hand, may be present if the systolic values are below 105mmHg and/or diastolic values are below 60 mmHg. It is advisable to consult a physician if you have low blood pressure.

• Which values are normal?
  The following blood pressure values are considered normal according to the National Institutes of Health JNCVI:

  • Optimal: Systolic – below 120 mmHg, Diastolic – below 80 mmHg
  • Normal: Systolic – 120-129 mmHg, Diastolic – 80-84 mmHg
  • High Normal: Systolic – 130-139 mmHg, Diastolic – 85-89 mmHg
  • Hypertension Stage 1: Systolic – 140-159 mmHg, Diastolic – 90-99 mmHg
  • Hypertension Stage 2: Systolic – 160-179 mmHg, Diastolic – 100-109 mmHg
  • Hypertension Stage 3: Systolic – 180 or higher mmHg, Diastolic – 110 or higher mmHg

• Regular self-checks with your blood pressure monitor are recommended even if your blood pressure values are within the normal range. This allows you to detect any possible changes in your values early and take appropriate action.

• If you are undergoing medical treatment for blood pressure control, it is important to keep a record of your readings along with the date and time. Show these values to your physician and do not independently alter the prescribed drug doses based on your measurements.

INTRODUCTION

1. Features of your Digital Advanced Blood Pressure Monitor

2. Your CVS/Microlife blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic digital blood pressure measuring device for use on the upper arm. It enables very fast and reliable measurement of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as the pulse by way of the oscillometric method. This device offers clinically proven accuracy and has been designed to be very user friendly.

3. Before using, please read this instruction manual carefully. Then store the manual in a safe place for later reference. Please contact your physician for further questions on the subject of blood pressure and its measurement.
   ATTENTION!

4. Important information about self-measurement

5. Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment. Your values must always be discussed with your physician. You should never alter the dosages of any medication without direction from your physician.

6. The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency of heart pacemakers!!

7. In cases of irregular heartbeat (Arrhythmia), measurements made with this instrument should only be evaluated after consultation with your doctor.

8. Electromagnetic Interference: This device contains sensitive electronic components. Avoid strong electrical or electromagnetic fields in the direct vicinity of the device (e.g. mobile telephones, microwave ovens, etc.). These can lead to temporary impairment of the monitor’s measuring accuracy.

IMPORTANT INFORMATION ON THE SUBJECT OF BLOOD PRESSURE AND ITS

MEASUREMENT

1. How does high/low blood pressure arise?
   

2. The level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of your brain and adjusts to a variety of situations through feedback from the nervous system. To adjust blood pressure, the strength and frequency of the heart (Pulse), as well as the width of circulatory blood vessels are altered. Blood vessel width is altered by fine muscles in the blood vessel walls. The level of arterial blood pressure changes periodically during heart activity. During the “blood ejection” (Systole), the value is highest (systolic blood pressure value).

3. 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 prevent particular diseases.

4. Which values are normal?

5. Blood pressure is too high if your diastolic pressure is above 90 mmHg and/or your systolic blood pressure is over 160 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 you body.

6. If your systolic blood pressure values are between 140 mmHg and 160mmHg and/or the diastolic blood pressure values between 90 mmHg and 95mmHg, consult your physician. Regular self-checks are necessary.

7. If you have blood pressure values that are too low, (i.e., systolic values under 105mmHg and/or diastolic values under 60 mmHg), consult your physician.

8. Even with normal blood pressure values, a regular self-check with your blood pressure monitor is recommended. You can detect possible changes in your values early and react appropriately.

9. 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 values to your physician. Never use the results of your measurements to independently alter the drug doses prescribed by your physician.

Which values are normal?
The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (without regard to age) have been established by the National Institutes of Health JNCVI.

Further Information

• If your values are mostly normal under resting conditions but exceptionally high under conditions of physical or psychological stress, it is possible that your are suffering from so-called “labile hypertension.” Consult your physician.
• Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120mmHg require immediate medical treatment.

What can be done if regular high/low values are obtained?

• Consult your physician.
• Increased blood pressure values (various forms of hypertension) are associated with considerable health risks over time. Arterial blood vessels in your body are endangered due to constrictions caused by deposits in the vessel walls (Arteriosclerosis). A deficient supply of blood to important organs (heart, brain, muscles) can result. Furthermore, the heart will become structurally damaged with increased blood pressure values.
• 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 physician for information about the possible origins of your own increased blood pressure values.
• There are measures you can take to reduce and even prevent high blood pressure. These measures must be permanent lifestyle changes.

1. Eating habits:

2. Strive for a normal weight corresponding to your age. See your doctor for your ideal weight.

3. Avoid excessive consumption of common salt.

4. Avoid fatty foods.

5. Previous illnesses
   Consistently follow all medical instructions for treating illness such as: diabetes (diabetes mellitus or sugar diabetes), fat metabolism disorder, and gout.

6. Habits

7. Give up smoking completely

8. Drink only moderate amounts of alcohol

9. Restrict your caffeine consumption (coffee, tea and chocolate)

10. Your physical condition

11. After a medical examination, and with your doctor’s approval and direction; exercise.

12. Choose sports which require stamina and avoid those which require strength.

13. Avoid reaching the limit of your performance.

14. With previous illnesses and/or an age of over 40 years, please consult your physician before beginning your exercise routine. You must receive advise regarding the type and extent of exercise that is appropriate for you.

MAM Technology
Microlife Average Mode (MAM) Technology is a new concept for optimum reliability in self’ measurement of blood pressure. A single measurement is rarely your real result. An average of three readings is medically proven to provide the most accurate result. With the push of a single button, the Microlife Average Mode blood pressure monitor takes three consecutive measurements, and calculates the average.

COMPONENTS OF YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR

• The upper arm cuff included with your monitor is for arm circumferences of 9.5” – 13.25” (20-32cm).
• Please Note: Do not force the cuff connection into the opening. Make sure the cuff connection is not pushed into the AC adapter port. Larger cuffs are available.

OPERATION OF YOUR BLOOD PRESSURE MONITOR

Inserting the batteries
After you have unpacked your device, insert the batteries. The battery compartment is located on the back side of the device (see illustration).

MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE

Before measuring:

• Avoid eating, smoking as well as all forms of exertion directly before the measurement. All these factors influence the measurement result. Find time to relax by sitting in an armchair in a quite atmosphere for about ten minutes before the measurement.
• Remove any garment that fits closely to your upper arm.
• Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
• Compare measurements taken at the same time of day, since blood pressure changes during the course of the day.

Common sources of error:
Note: Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions! Conditions should always be quiet.

• All efforts by the user to support the arm can increase blood pressure. Make sure you are in a comfortable, relaxed position and do not flex any of the muscles in the measurement arm during the measurement. Use a cushion for support if necessary.
• If the arm artery lies considerably lower or higher than the heart, an erroneously high or low blood pressure will be measured! Each 15cm (6 inch) difference in height between your heart and the cuff results in a measurement error of 10 mmHg!
• Cuffs that are too narrow or too short result in false measurement values. Selecting the correct cuff is extremely important. Cuff size is dependent upon the circumference of the arm (measured in the center). The permissible range is printed on the cuff. If this is not suitable for your use, please contact Microlife USA. Large cuff sizes are sold separately.
  • Note: Only use clinically approved CVS or Microlife Cuffs!
• A loose cuff or a sideways protruding air pocket causes false measurement values.
• 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 accumulated blood to flow away.

Please note, clinical studies have proven the Microlife Average Mode (MAM) system with a 15 second wait period between the second and third measurements. If you decide to retake your MAM measurement again, be sure to wait at least one minute before repeating a MAM measurement.

Fitting the cuff

1. Pass the end of the cuff through the flat metal ring so that a loop is formed. The Velcro closer must be facing outwards. (Ignore this step if the cuff has already been prepared.)

2. Place the cuff over the left upper arm so that the tube is closer to your lower arm. Align the cuff artery mark
   (arrow) over the arm artery than runs down the inner side of the arm.

3. Lay the cuff on the arm as illustrated. Make certain that the lower edge of the cuff lies approximately 3/4” to 1” (2 to 3 cm) above the elbow and that the tube is closer to the inner side of the arm.

4. Tighten the cuff by pulling the end and close the cuff by affixing the velcro. Make sure that the cuff Index end falls between the OK lines when the cuff is in position. If it doesn’t, you are using the wrong cuff size.

5. There should be little free space between the arm and the cuff. You should be able to fit 2 fingers between your arm and the cuff. Clothing must not restrict the arm. Any piece of clothing which does must be removed.

6. Lay your arm on a table (palm upward) so the cuff is at the same height as the heart. Make sure that the tube is not kinked.

7. Remain seated quietly for five minutes before you begin the measurement.

Comment:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to the left arm, it can also be placed on your right arm. However, all measurements should be made using the same arm.

Measurement mode selection
Clinical studies demonstrate taking multiple blood pressure readings and calculating an “average” is more likely to determine your true blood pressure. Your CVS/Microlife Average Mode unit allows you to switch the unit to an Average Mode setting that automatically takes multiple readings!

Average Mode Slide Switch:

1. If you would like to take an Average Mode measurement, move the slide switch to the right.
2. Average Mode takes 3 measurements in succession and calculates the result. An “A“ symbol in the display indicates that the unit is set to the Average Mode.
3. There will be 15 seconds resting time in-between each measurement. The unit will count down from 15 seconds. A beep will sound at the last 5 seconds to remind you that the unit is about to take another measurement.

Single mode

1. If you would like to take a single measurement, please move the slide switch to the left.

Setting memory for user 1 or user 2 Note: Before proceeding make sure the unit is turned on.

This advanced blood pressure monitor allows you to track blood pressure readings for 2 individuals independently.

1. Before taking your measurement, make sure you set the unit for the intended user. (User 1, User 2)
2. The unit is set to User 1. Click the User/Time button to change to User 2. The symbol indicates user 1 or user 2.
3. Click the User/Time button again to change into User 1.

Measuring procedure
After the cuff has been appropriately positioned, the measurement can begin:

1. Press the ON/OFF button. The display will show many icons followed by 3 beeps indicating “ready to measure.”
2. Press the START button. The pump begins to inflate the cuff. The rising pressure in the cuff is shown in the display of your monitor.
3. After a suitable inflation pressure has been reached, the pump stops and the pressure gradually falls. The cuff pressures are displayed. If the inflation pressure is not sufficient, the monitor automatically re-inflates.
4. When the instrument detects a pulse, the heart symbol in the display starts to flash and a beep is heard for every heartbeat.
5. A long beep is sounded when the measurement is complete. The systolic, and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate now appear in the display.
6. The measurement reading remains on the display until you switch off the instrument. If no button is pressed for a period of 5 minutes the instrument switches itself off in order to preserve the batteries.
7. When the unit is set to the Microlife Average Mode setting, 3 separate measurements will take place in succession after which your result is calculated. There is a 15 second resting time in-between each measurement. A count down indicates the remaining time and a beep will sound 5 seconds before the 2nd and 3rd readings will begin.

If one of the measurements causes an error message, it will be repeated one more time. If any additional error occurs, the measurement will be discontinued and error code displayed.
Expanding the MAM measurement to see the three individual readings
This function allows you to view the three individual measurements used to calculate the MAM measurement. After taking a MAM measurement hold the memory button for 3 seconds until you hear a short beep. (Do not hold the button longer than 7 seconds or you will delete all the readings in the memory.) Let go of the button and watch the screen. It will automatically scroll through the three measurements used in the MAM measurement.

Discontinuing a measurement
If it is necessary to interrupt a blood pressure measurement for any reason (e.g. the patient feels unwell), the ON/OFF button can be pressed at any time. The device then immediately lowers the cuff pressure automatically.

Memory
recall of the measurements (Unit should be turned on first) This blood pressure monitor automatically stores each of the last 30 measurement values separately for 2 users. By pressing the MEMORY button, the last measurement as well as previous 29 measurements (MR29, MR28, …MR1) can be displayed one after the other. Data obtained in Average Mode is indicated by an “A“ symbol. If the memory is full, the next measurement will be added to memory and the oldest reading (MR 1) will be deleted.

Clearing the Memory – cancellation of all measurements

• Attention! Before you delete all readings stored in the memory, make sure you won’t need to refer to the readings at a later date. Keeping a written record is prudent and may provide additional information for your next physician visit. A log is included to record a history of your measurements.
• In order to delete all stored readings, press the MEMORY button for at least 7 seconds. The display will show the symbol “CL” and 3 short beeps will sound to indicate deletion of stored readings. (Unit must be turned on.)

Printer Functions

fell below 20 mmHg. This situation can occur if the tube becomes unplugged after the systolic blood pressure has been measured. Check the tube connections and repeat the measurement. Further possible cause: No pulse could be detected
Err 2| Unnatural pressure impulses impair the result of the measurement. Cause: The arm was moved during the measurement. Remain still and repeat the measurement.
Err 3| Inflation of the cuff takes too long. The cuff is not correctly seated or the hose connection is not sealed. See section 5.3, fitting the cuff.
Err 5| The measured readings indicated an unacceptable difference between systolic and diastolic pressures. Take another reading following directions carefully. Contact your doctor if you continue to get unusual readings.

Other possible malfunctions troubleshooting
If problems occur when using the device, the following items should be checked.

The display remains empty when the instrument is on. Batteries have been installed.|

1. Check the polarity of the batteries(+/-)
2. If the display is erratic or unusual, remove the batteries and re-install new batteries.

The pressure does not rise although the pump is running.| 1.Check the connection of the cuff tube and connect properly if necessary.
The instrument frequently fails

to measure the blood pressure values, or the values measured are too low or too high.

|

1. Ensure the cuff fits correctly.
2. Make sure the cuff is not too tight. Ensure tight clothing such as a rolled up shirt sleeve is not exerting pressure on the arm above the measuring point. Take off articles of clothing if necessary.
3. Measure your blood pressure again in complete peace and quiet.

Every measurement produces a different value although the instrument functions normally and the values displayed are normal.| PLEASE NOTE: BLOOD PRESSURE FLUCTUATES CONTINUALLY SO SUCCESSIVE MEASUREMENTS WILL SHOW SOME VARIABILITY.
The blood pressure values measured differ from those measured by your physician.| 1. Record daily values, time and date, then consult your physician. PLEASE NOTE: INDIVIDUALS VISITING THEIR PHYSICIAN FREQUENLY EXPERIENCE ANXIETY WHICH CAN RESULT IN A HIGHER READING THAN ONE OBTAINED AT HOME UNDER MORE RESTFUL CONDITIONS.
