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 AFIBsens is the world’s leading digital blood pressure 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 experience 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 investigators 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 22 indicates that atrial fibrillation was detected during the measurement. 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 alsoanalyses
pulse irregularity during measurement. The device isclinically 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 measurement episode (triplicate measurements), the patient
is advised to perform another measurement episode (triplicate measurements).
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 irregularly (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 recommended 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 significantly reduce
the risk of getting stroke. Knowing your blood pressure and knowing whether
you have AF is the first step in proactive stroke prevention.

Using the device for the first time
Inserting the batteries
After you have unpacked your device, first insert the batteries. The battery
compartment 10 is on the bottom of the device. Insert the batteries (4 x
1.5 V, size AAA), thereby observing the indicated polarity.
Setting the date and time
- After the new batteries are fitted, the year number flashes in the display. You can set the year by pressing either the «+» 6 or the «-» 7 button. To confirm and then set the month, press enter 1.
- Press the «+» 6 or the «-» 7 button to set the month. Press enter 1 to confirm and then set the day.
- Follow the instructions above to set the day, hour and minutes.
- Once you have set the minutes and pressed the time button, the date and time are set and the time is displayed.
- If you want to change the date and time, press and hold Date/ Time for approx. 3 seconds until the year number starts flashing. Now you can enter the new values as described above.
Selecting the correct cuff
Microlife offers different cuff sizes. Select the cuff size to match
thecircumference of your upper arms (measured by close fitting in thecentre 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 11 does not
fit.
▶ Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector 12 into
the cuff socket 4 as far as it will go.
Selecting the user
This device allows to store the results for 2 individual users. In addition,
there is a guest mode in which results are not stored.
▶ Before each measurement, set the user indicator 23 for the intended
user: user 1, user 2 or guest mode.
▶ Press and hold the user indicator 23 for approx. 2 seconds until the
user symbol starts flashing. Now select user 1, user 2 or guest mode by
pressing the user indicator again. Wait 23 seconds to confirm your selection.
The first person to measure should select user 1.
Selecting standard or AFIB/MAM mode
Before each measurement, select standard (single measurement) or AFIB/MAM mode
(automatic triple measurement). 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 obtained in this way is more reliable than when a single measurement is
performed.
-
When you select the 3 measurements, the AFIB/MAM-symbol 24 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.
AF detection is only activated in AFIB/MAM mode.
Checklist for taking a reliable measurement
▶ Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the measurement.
▶ 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.
▶ Always measure on the same arm (normally left). It is recommended 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.
▶ 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.
▶ 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 1-2 cm above the elbow.
- 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.
- Support your arm so it is relaxed.
- Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.
Taking a blood pressure measurement
- Slide the lock switch 3 down to the «unlock» position.
- Select standard (single measurement) or AFIB/MAM mode (automatic triple measurement): see details in chapter «Using the device for the first time»
- Press the START/STOP button 1 to start the measurement.
- 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.
- 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.
- During the measurement, the pulse indicator 28 flashes in the display.
- The result, comprising the systolic 16 and the diastolic 17 blood pressure and the pulse rate 18 are displayed. Note also the explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.
- When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
- Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automatically after approx. 1 min.).
AF detection is only activated in AFIB/MAM mode.
You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the ON/OFF button or open
the cuff (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant pressure sensation).
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.
How not to store a reading
As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the START/STOP button 1
until «M» 15 is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by pressing the
M-button 15.
«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 26
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.
| Range| Systolic| Diastolic| Recommendation
---|---|---|---|---
1| blood pressure too high| ≥135| ≥85| Seek medical advice
2| blood pressure 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 automatically stores up to 99 measurement values for each of the 2 users and guest mode.
Viewing the stored values
Switch the lock switch 3 to «unlock» position. Select either user 1 or 2
with the user indicator 23. Press the M-button 15 briefly. The display
shows an average value.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing the M-button
repeatedly enables you to move from one stored value to another.
Memory full
Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 99 memories per user is not
exceeded. When the 99 memory is full, the oldest value is automatically
overwritten with the 100th value. Values should be evaluated by a doctor
before the memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.
Clearing all values
Make sure the correct user is activated.
- Firstly unlock the device 3 , then select either 1 or 2 with the user indicator 23.
- Hold down the M-button 15 until «CL» appears and then release the button.
- Press the M-button while «CL» is flashing to permanently clear all values of the selected user.
Cancel deletion: press START/STOP button AN while «CL» is flashing.
Individual values cannot be cleared.
Battery indicator and battery change
Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol 19 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 19 will flash as soon as
the device is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot take any
further measurements and must replace the batteries.
- Open the battery compartment 10 at the back of the device.
- Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the symbols in the compartment.
- To set date and time, follow the procedure described in Section
«Using the device for the first time».
