How not to store a reading

As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the START/

STOP button 

1

 until «

M

» 

BL

 is flashing. Confirm to delete the 

reading by pressing the M-button 

AK

.



You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the 

START/STOP 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 START/STOP 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. 

5. Appearance of the Atrial Fibrillation Indicator for 

early Detection (only in AFIB/MAM mode)

This device is able to detect atrial fibrillation (AFIB). This symbol 

BO

indicates that atrial fibrillation was detected during the measurement. 

If the AFIB symbol appears after having performed a full blood pres-

sure measurement episode (triplicate measurements), you are 

advised to wait for one hour and perform another measurement 

episode (triplicate measurements). If the AFIB symbol appears 

again, then you are advised to visit your doctor. If after repeated 

measurement the AFIB symbol is no longer displayed there is no 

cause for concern. In such case it is recommended to measure again 

the next day. 



Keep the arm still during measuring to avoid false readings.



This device may not detect atrial fibrillation in people with 

pacemakers or defibrillators.

6. Traffic Light Indicator in the Display

The bars on the left-hand edge of the traffic light display 

BK

 show 

you the range within which the indicated blood pressure value lies. 

Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either 

within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow), too high (orange) or 

dangerously high (red) range. The classification corresponds to 

the 4 ranges in the table as defined by the international guidelines 

(ESH, AHA, JSH), as described in «Section 1.».

7. PC-Link Functions

This device can be used in conjunction 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 a cable.

If no CD and cable is included download the BPA software from 

www.microlife.com and use a USB cable with a Mini-B 5 pin 

connector.

Installation and data transmission

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

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

2. Connect the monitor via the cable to the PC; there is 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 successful. As long as the cable is plugged in, 

the bars will keep flashing and the buttons are disabled.



During the connection, the device is completely controlled 

by the computer. Please refer to the «help» file for software 

instructions.

8. Data Memory

This device automatically stores up to 99 measurement values for 

each of the 2 users.

Viewing the stored values

Switch the lock switch 

AN

 to «unlock» position. Press the M-button 

AK

briefly. The display first shows «

M

» 

BL

 and an average value. The 

device then switches to the last stored value.

Pressing the «+»

AM

 or the «-»

AL

 button repeatedly enables you to 

move from one stored value to another. Press the M-button again to 

exit the memory mode.

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 measure-

ment episode (triplicate measurements), the patient is advised to 

wait for one hour and perform another measurement episode 

(triplicate measurements). If the AFIB symbol appears again, we 

recommend the patient to seek medical advice.

The device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves 

to detect atrial fibrillation that often remains undiagnosed until 

stroke occurs.
