8. When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops and the
pressure falls gradually. If the required pressure was not reached,
the device will automatically pump some more air into the cuff.
9. During the measurement, the pulse indicator
BM
flashes in the
display.
10.The result, comprising the systolic
AQ
and the diastolic
AR
blood pressure and the pulse rate
AS
is displayed. Note also the
explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.
11.When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
12.Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automati-
cally after approx. 1 min.).
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.
6. Traffic Light Indicator in the Display
How do I evaluate my blood pressure?
The triangle on the left-hand edge of the display
BK
points at the
range within which the measured blood pressure value lies. The
value is either within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow) or high
(red) range. The classification corresponds to the following ranges
defined by international guidelines (ESH, ESC, JSH). Data in mmHg.
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».
7. PC-Link Functions
This device can be used in conjunction with a personal computer
(PC) running the Microlife Blood Pressure A (BPA+) soft-
ware. The memory data can be transferred to the PC by
connecting the monitor via a cable.
If no download-voucher and cable is included download the BPA+
software from www.microlife.com/software and use a USB cable
with a Mini-B 5 pin connector.
During the connection, the device is completely controlled
by the computer.
8. Data Memory
This device automatically stores up to 99 measurement values for
each of the 2 users.
Viewing the stored values
Select either user 1 or 2 with the user switch
9
.
Switch the lock switch
AN
to «unlock» position. Press the M-button
AK
briefly. The display first shows «
M
»
BL
and «
A
», which stands for the
average of all stored values.
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.
Memory full
Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 99
memories per user is not exceeded.
When the 99 memory is
full, the oldest value is automatically overwritten with the
100th value.
Values should be evaluated by a doctor before
the memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.
Clearing all values
Make sure the correct user is activated.
1. Firstly unlock the device
AN
, then select either 1 or 2 with the
user switch
9
.
2. Hold down the M-button
AK
until «
CL
» appears and then release
the button.
3. Press the M-button while «
CL
» is flashing to permanently clear
all values of the selected user.
Cancel deletion:
press START/STOP button
1
while «
CL
»
is flashing.
Individual values cannot be cleared.
