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).
Select the measuring mode: standard or MAM mode
This instrument enables you to select either standard (standard
single measurement) or MAM mode (automatic triple measure-
ment). To select standard mode, slide the MAM switch
AK on the
side of the instrument downwards to position «1» and to select
MAM mode, slide this switch upwards to position «3».
MAM Mode
In MAM mode, 3 measurements are automatically taken in succes-
sion and the result is then automatically analysed and displayed.
Because the blood pressure constantly fluctuates, a result deter-
mined in this way is more reliable than one produced by a single
measurement. AFIB detection is activated in MAM mode.

• After pressing the ON/OFF button 1, the selected MAM mode
appears in the display as the MAM-symbol BK.
• 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
(15 seconds are adequate according to «Blood Pressure Moni-
toring, 2001, 6:145-147» for oscillometric instruments). A count
down indicates the remaining time and a beep will sound
5 seconds before the 2nd and 3rd readings will begin.
• 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.
Checklist for taking a reliable measurement
1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the
measurement.
2. Sit down for at least 5 minutes before the measurement and
relax.
3. Always measure on the same arm (normally left).
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 cuff is positioned correctly, as shown
in the pictures illustrated on the short instruction card.
• Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.
• Make sure that the cuff is 2 cm (0.75 inch) above your
elbow with the tube on the inside of your arm.
• Support your arm so it is relaxed.
• Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.
6. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to start the measurement.
7. 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.
8. When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops
and the pressure falls gradually. If the required pressure was
not reached, the instrument will automatically pump some
more air into the cuff.
9. During the measurement, the heart symbol BT flashes in the
display every time a heartbeat is detected.
10. The result, comprising the systolic AM and the diastolic AN
blood pressure and the pulse AO is displayed. Note also the
explanations on further displays in this booklet.
11. When the measurement has finished, remove the cuff.
12. Enter the result in the enclosed blood pressure pass and
switch off the instrument. (The monitor does switch off auto-
matically after approx. 1 min.).
