How not to store a reading
Press the ON/OFF button

1 while the reading is being displayed.

Keep the button pressed until «M»

AS is flashing and then release

it. Confirm by pressing the M-button.

5. Appearance of the Atrial Fibrillation Indicator for

early Detection (only in MAM mode)

This symbol

AP indicates that an atrial fibrillation was detected

during the measurement. This device is able to detect atrial fibril-
lation (AFIB). If AFIB is present during blood pressure measure-
ment, the AFIB Indicator is displayed. In this case, the result may
deviate from your normal blood pressure. It is highly recommended
to take an additional measurement an hour later to increase the
specificity of the detection. In most cases, this is no cause for
concern. However, if the symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g.
several times a week with measurements taken daily) we advise
you to visit your doctor. Please, provide the following explanation:

6. PC-Link Functions

This device can be used in connection with a personal computer
(PC) running the Microlife Blood Pressure Analyser (BPA) software.
The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the
monitor via cable with the PC.
If no CD and cable is included download the BPA software from
www.microlife.com and use a standard USB cable.

Installation and data transmission

7. Data Memory

At the end of a measurement, this instrument automatically stores
each result, including date and time.

Viewing the stored values
Press the M-button

2 briefly, when the instrument is switched

off. The display first shows «M»

AS and then a value, e.g. «M 17».

This means that there are 17 values in the memory. The instrument
then switches to the last stored result.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.

)

You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant
pressure sensation).

)

If the systolic blood pressure is known to be very high,
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.

Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
atrial fibrillation indicator

This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that
also analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The instru-
ment is clinically tested.
The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if
atrial fibrillations occur during measurement. If the symbol
appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on
measurements performed daily) we recommend the patient to
seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but
serves to detect atrial fibrillations at an early stage.

)

Sometimes the device will detect atrial fibrillation even
when it is not there. This can happen if the arm moves
during the reading or another rhythm problem is present.
Keep the arm still during the reading. Visiting your doctor
with this device may be necessary to check out any rhythm
problems.

)

This device may not detect atrial fibrillation in people with
pacemakers or defibrillators.

1. Insert CD into CD ROM drive of your PC. The installation will

start automatically. If not, please click on «SETUP.EXE».

2. Connect the monitor via cable with the PC; no need to switch

the device on. 3 horizontal bars will appear on the display and
last for 3 seconds.

3. The bars will then flash to indicate that the connection between

PC and device is successfully made. As long as the cable is
plugged, the bars will keep flashing and buttons are disabled.

)

During the connection, the device is completely controlled
by the computer. Please refer to the «help» file for software
instructions.
