Selecting the correct cuff
A variety of different cuff sizes are available. M and L size cuffs are
provided with the device. Use the cuff marker to select the cuff size that
best matches the circumference of the patient’s upper arm.
Cuff Size S M L L-XL
Circumference (cm) 14-22 22-32 32-42 32-52
Circumference (inch) 5.5-8.7 8.7-12.6 12.6-16.5 12.6-20.5
- Each cuff is provided with 130 cm air tube. Use only cuffs provided by Microlife! Contact Microlife or its authorized distributor to purchase cuffs. * M and L size cuffs are included as standard accessories.
Fitting the cuff properly
1 Place the cuff over the upper arm so that the air tube and artery mark arrow
point towards the lower arm. The artery mark on the cuff must be placed over
the brachial artery.
2 Place the cuff on the arm. Make sure that the lower edge of the cuff lies
approximately 2 to 3 cm ( ¾ to 1 inch) above the elbow.
3 Wrap and tighten the cuff around the arm.
4 Leave free space with the size of 2 fingers between the arm of the patient
and the cuff. Excessive tightness may cause venous congestion and
discoloration of the limb. If the cuff is wrapped too loosely, it cannot be
inflated properly, and the measured values may be inaccurate. Remove all
clothing covering or constricting the measurement arm. Clothing may interfere
with measurement accuracy.
5 Cuffs that do not fit properly may lead to inaccurate readings. Use a
different size cuff if the range index at the end of the cuff does not fall
into the range specified by the range stripes.

Taking measurement in MANUAL mode
Select the MANUAL mode if auscultatory blood pressure measurement is preferred
above oscillometric blood pressure measurement. In MANUAL mode, the device
serves as a pressure gauge. No oscillometric measurements will be taken.
Systolic and diastolic Korotkoff sounds are determined by the physician using
a stethoscope placed over the brachial artery.
Start inflation Press the button to start cuff inflation. When the maximum inflation pressure is reached, the device will automatically begin a linear deflation at a rate of 3 mmHg/sec as is recommended by the guidelines.
Assess the Korotkoff K1 and K5 sound when pushing the
button during cuff
deflation the cuff pressure at the time of pushing is temporarily stored so that the systolic
(K1) and diastolic (K5) pressures can be seen afterwards. The device can store up to 4
pressures.
Push the button at any time to start fast deflation and finish the measurement of MANUAL mode and show the pressure you have marked. Alternatively, the device quickly deflates and shows the pressures after having pushed the button 4 times, or the cuff pressure has reached 20mmHg during the deflation cycle.
After the measurement in MANUAL mode, the device displays all marked cuff pressures for one minute.
Re-inflate Push and Hold the Up button during deflation to re-inflate for as long as the button is held up to a max of 299mmHg. Release the button to continue deflation. Exceeding 299 mmHg will result in an immediate release of cuff pressure and a `HI’ Error message.
Deflate faster Push and hold the button during deflation to release the pressure in the cuff faster, at around 8 -12 mmHg/second.
- The recommended deflation rate for auscultation is 2-3 mmHg per second. Do not assess K1 or K5 sound while holding the button.
- If HIDE in MANUAL mode is selected, the cuff pressure during deflation will not be displayed.The display shows “—” during cuff deflation.

Special Functions
Screening for atrial fibrillation during blood pressure measurement The device
is designed to screen for atrial fibrillation during blood pressure
measurements (optional) with high accuracy: a sensitivity of 98% and a
specificity value of 92%*. If atrial fibrillation is detected this will be
shown in the report.
Verberk et al. Screening for atrial fibrillation with automated blood pressure
measurement: Research evidence and practice recommendations. Int J Cardiol
2016: 465473.
About Atrial Fibrillation Atrial fibrillation is a common heart rhythm problem
and a common cause of major strokes. It affects 8% of those 65 years and older
and about 20% of all strokes are caused by atrial fibrillation. Atrial
fibrillation is a rhythm problem that can last from a few minutes, to days or
weeks and even years. Atrial fibrillation can lead to the formation of blood
clots in the heart. These clots can break off and flow to the brain causing
stroke. One sign of atrial fibrillation is palpitations. However, many people
have no symptoms and therefore may remain undetected whereas diagnosing atrial
fibrillation early followed by adequate treatment can largely reduce the
chance of getting a stroke.
Central blood pressure parameters The device is designed to assess central
blood pressure parameters (optional). Central blood pressure is the pressure
in the ascending aorta, the largest artery that originates from the left
ventricular of the heart and from where oxygen is distributed to all parts of
the body through the systemic circulation. Central Systolic Blood Pressure and
Central Pulse Pressure provided by this monitor are determined directly
through pulse volume plethysmography (PVP) waveform analysis. Central
Diastolic Blood Pressure by this monitor is calculated by subtraction of
Central Systolic Blood Pressure and Central Pulse Pressure.
How is central blood pressure measured? The device measures brachial systolic
and diastolic blood pressure as usual. However, where the cuff normally
totally deflates after the blood pressure measurement, the cuff now stops
deflating at approximately 60 mmHg cuff pressure to keep a stable pressure on
the brachial artery for approximately 10 seconds which is needed to acquire
brachial pulse volume plethysmography (PVP) waveforms (pulse volume
recording). During these 10 seconds approximately 10 PVP waveforms are
recorded from which one average PVP waveform is determined and analyzed. From
the average PVP waveform, some characteristic points (parameters) are
identified that are directly related to arterial compliance (stiffness) and
wave reflections. With these parameters and previously measured peripheral
(regular) blood pressure the central systolic blood pressure value and the
central pulse pressure value are then determined1.
14
WatchBP Office
The time that is needed to determine the central blood pressure value may vary
among patients; i.e. with faster heart rate, less time is required for
collecting the number of required PVP waveforms. It is very important to keep
the arm still during the time the PVP waveforms are collected. Accuracy of the
central blood pressure parameters The accuracy of central blood pressure
parameters performed with this device can only reliably be determined against
intra-arterial blood pressure measurement. The device is a certified
equivalence with the WatchBP Office Central that has been validated against
simultaneous recorded intra-arterial blood pressure measurement in 85 subjects
and showed high accuracy2.

central blood pressure monitor: a validation report for Microlife WatchBP

MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure) The device measures the true mean arterial
pressure (MAP) of the patient. Each measurement includes a single MAP value.
The MAP value will always be displayed together with the systolic and
diastolic blood pressure value.
