BP A150 AFIB

EN



This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and 

pre-eclampsia. When you detect unusual high readings in 

pregnancy, you should measure again after 4 hours. If the 

reading is still too high, consult your doctor or gynecologist. 

How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

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».

2. Important Facts about Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB) 

What is Atrial Fibrillation (AFIB)?

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 irregu-

larly (this is called fibrillation). Atrial fibrillation is the most common 

form of heart arrhythmia or irregular heart beat. It often causes no 

symptoms, yet it significantly increases your risk of stroke. You’ll 

need a doctor to help you control the problem.

How does AFIB impact my family or me?

People with AFIB have a five-fold higher risk of getting stroke. 

Since the chance of having a stroke increases with age, AFIB 

screening is recommended for people over 65 years and older. 

However, for people from the age of 50 years with high blood pres-

sure (hypertension), diabetes, coronary heart failure or have had a 

previous stroke AFIB screening is also recommended. Early diag-

nosis of AFIB followed by adequate treatment can significantly 

reduce the risk of getting stroke.

In young people AFIB screening is not recommended as it could 

generate false positive results and unnecessary anxiety. In addi-

tion, young individuals with AFIB have a relatively low risk of 

getting stroke as compared to elder people.

Microlife AFIB detection provides a convenient way to screen 

for AFIB (only in AFIB/MAM mode)

Knowing your blood pressure and knowing whether you or your 

family members have AFIB can help reduce the risk of stroke. 

Microlife AFIB detection provides a convenient way to screen for 

AFIB whilst taking your blood pressure.

Risk factors you can control

High blood pressure and AFIB are both considered «controllable» 

risk factors for strokes. Knowing your blood pressure and knowing 

whether you have AFIB is the first step in proactive stroke prevention.

3. Using the Device for the First Time
