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 measurements. 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

3. Appearance of the Atrial Fibrillation Indicator for early Detection (Active only in MAM mode)

This device is able to detect atrial fibrillation (AF). This symbol BM 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 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 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 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 AK is on the bottom of the device. Insert the batteries (4 x 1.5 V, size AA), 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 the M-button 3. To confirm and then set the month, press the Bluetooth/Time button 4.
Press the M-button to set the month. Press the Bluetooth/Time button 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 Bluetooth/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 the Bluetooth/Time button for approx. 7–8 seconds until the year number starts to flash. 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 the circumference of your upper arms (measured by close fitting in the centre of the upper arm).

Cuff size	for the 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 AL does not fit.
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector AN into the cuff socket 6 as far as it will go.
If you buy aA Nspare Microlife cuff, AplMease remove the cuffconnector from the cuff tube 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).

Selecting the user
This device allows to store the results for 2 individual users.

Select the intended user (user 1 or user 2 BN) by pressing the user button 5.
Before each measurement, ensure that the correct user is selected.

Selecting standard or MAM mode
Before each measurement, select standard (single measurement) or MAM mode (automatic triple measurement). In 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.

To select MAM mode, slide the MAM switch 7 upwards to position «3» until the MAM symbol BO appears on the display. To change to standard mode (single measurement), slide the MAM switch downwards to position «1».
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 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

Select standard (single measurement) or MAM mode (automatic triple measurement): see details in chapter «Using the device for the first time»
Press the ON/OFF 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.
The cuff fit check BT on the display indicates that the cuff is perfectly placed. If the icon BT-A appears, the cuff is fitted suboptimally, but it is still ok to measure.
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 BS flashes in the display.
The result, comprising the systolic AP and the diastolic AQ blood pressure and the pulse rate AR 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 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. Manual inflation
In case of high systolic blood pressure (e.g. above 135 mmHg), it can be an advantage to set the pressure individually. Press the ON/OFF 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 not to store a reading
As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF button 1 until «M» BP is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by pressing the Bluetooth/Time button 4.
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 8 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 Microlife BP B6 Connectranges 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».

Average Indicator «MyCheck»

This symbol CT indicates after each measurement, if the most recent measured value lies below, above or on the same level as your stored average value (see also chapter «5. Data memory»).
If the measured Systole or Diastole is more than 5mmHg higher than the stored average, the arrow shows upwards. the measured Systole or Diastole is more than 5 mmHg lower than the stored average, the arrow shows downwards.
If the measured Systole and Diastole do not differ by more than 5mmHg from the stored average, the arrow shows straight on.
If the measured systole and diastole differ in different directions from the stored average, this is indicated first with the systole figure flashing, together with the up or down arrow for two seconds. Thereafter, the diastole figure flashes with the arrow pointing up or down for two seconds.

Appearance of the irregular heartbeat (IHB) symbol
This symbol BL indicates that an irregular heartbeat was detected. In this case, the measured blood pressure may deviate from your actual blood pressure values. It is recommended to repeat the measurement.

Information for the doctor in case of repeated appearance of the IHB symbol:
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also measures the pulse during blood pressure measurement and indicates when the heart rate is irregular.

Data memory

This device automatically stores up to 99 measurement values for each of the 2 users.
Select either user 1 or 2 by pressing the user button 5.
Viewing the average of the last 28 days
Press the M-button 3 again. The display first shows «M» BP and «28A», which stands for the average measurement values of the last 28 days.
Blood pressure readings with subopt imal cuff fit BT-A are not considered in the average value. Viewing the clinical blood pressure average «MyBP» Pressing the M-button 3 briefly when the device is switched off, allows you to see the average clinically relevant blood pressure «MyBP».
The display first shows «M» BP and «MyBP» BQ. This average is only shown when 12 clinically relevant measurement values in the last 28 days have been performed.
Only measurements that were performed in the morning between 05:00–10:59 or in the evening between 17:0022:59 are considered.
Measurements performed in standard mode and in MAMmode are considered in the average, when they have been performed during the right time of the day.
Measurements performed in MAM-mode or single standard mode are both classed as single measurements for working out the «MyBP average».
Blood pressure readings with suboptimal cuff fit BT-A are not considered in the average value.

Viewing the stored single values
Pressing the M-button again, allows you to see the last performed measurement. The display first shows «M» BP and a value, e.g. «M17». This means that there are 17 single values in the memory. Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored value to another.
Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 99 memories is not exceeded. When the 99 memory is full, the oldest value is automatically overwritten with the 100 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.
If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored values, hold down the M-button (the device must have been switched off beforehand) until «CL ALL» appears and then release the button. To permanently clear the memory, press the Blutetooth/Time button while «CL
ALL» is flashing. Individual values cannot be cleared.
Cancel deletion: press ON/OFF button 1 while «CL ALL» is flashing.

Battery indicator and battery change

Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol AS 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 AS 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 AK 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».

The memory retains all values although date and time must be reset – the year number therefore flashes automatically after the batteries are replaced. Which batteries and which procedure?
