Microlife BP A6 PC — профилактика инсульта: важность контроля AFIB и давления [6/30]

Microlife BP A6 PC [6/30] Using the device for the first time

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.
4. Using the Device for the First Time
Inserting the batteries
Switch the lock switch AN to «unlock» position. The battery
compartment 5 is on the bottom of the device. Insert the batteries
(4 x 1.5 V, size AAA), thereby observing the indicated polarity.
Setting the date and time
1. After the new batteries are fitted, the year number flashes in the
display. You can set the year by pressing either the «+» AM or
the «-» AL button. To confirm and then set the month, press the
time button AT.
2. Press the «+» AM or the «-» AL button to set the month. Press
the time button AT to confirm and then set the day.
3. Follow the instructions above to set the day, hour and minutes.
4. Once you have set the minutes and pressed the time button, the
date and time are set and the time is displayed.
5. If you want to change the date and time, press and hold the time
button down for approx. 3 seconds until the year number starts
to flash. Now you can enter the new values as described above.
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).
Only use Microlife cuffs.
Contact your local Microlife Service if the enclosed cuff 6 does
not fit.
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector 7
into the cuff socket 3 as far as it will go.
Selecting the user
This device allows to store the results for 2 individual users.
Before each measurement, set the user switch 9 for the
intended user: user 1 or user 2.
User 1: slide the user switch 9 upwards to the user 1 icon.
User 2: slide the user switch 9 downwards to the user 2 icon.
The first person to measure should select user 1.
Select the measuring mode: standard or AFIB/MAM mode
This device enables you to select either standard (standard single
measurement) or AFIB/MAM mode (automatic triple measure-
ment). To select standard mode, slide the AFIB/MAM switch 8 on
the side of the device downwards to position «1» and to select
AFIB/MAM mode, slide this switch upwards to position «3».
AFIB/MAM mode (highly recommended)
In
AFIB/MAM
mode, 3 measurements are automatically taken in
succession and the result is then automatically analysed and
displayed. Because blood pressure constantly fluctuates, a result
determined in this way is more reliable than one produced by a single
measurement. AFIB detection is only activated in
AFIB/MAM
mode.
When you select the 3 measurements, the MAM-symbol BP
appears in the display.
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.
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.
Cuff size for circumference of upper arm
S 17 - 22 cm
M 22 - 32 cm
M - L 22 - 42 cm
L 32 - 42 cm
L - XL 32 - 52 cm
