1. Introduction
1.1. Features of your Professional Blood Pressure Monitor
Your blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic digital blood pressure measuring
device for use by adults on the upper arm at home or in your doctor’s/nurse’s office. It
enables very fast and reliable measurement of the systolic and diastolic blood pressure
as well as the pulse by way of the oscillometric method. This device offers clinically
proven accuracy and has been designed to be user friendly.
Up to 20% of women develop hypertension during pregnancy. This disease (preeclamp-
siaor toxemia) affects the final outcome of about 5% of all pregnancies. Preeclampsia
is a disorder that occurs only during pregnancy. It can be recognized by a cleari
ncrease in blood pressure and high protein levels in the urine. The measurement
precision of this device has been proven clinically in a comprehensive study carried out
by Professor Andrew Shennan at St. Thomas’ Hospital, London. This study proved the
reading reliability of this monitor during pregnancy and in the presence of preeclamp-
sia, making it the first such home-use monitor that is clinically validated for such use
and especially suitable for preganant women. Of course, this device can be used also
after the pregnancy or by other family members.
The memory data can be transferred to the PC (personal computer) running the
Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer (BPA) software by connecting the monitor via cable.
The device can also be used in connection with smart mobile devices running the APP
and via Bluetooth.
Before using, please read this instruction manual carefully and then keep it in a safe
place. Please contact your doctor for further questions on the subject of blood pressure
and its measurement.
