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.

 as far as it will go.

•

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.).
