Permanently high blood pressure values can damage your
health and must be treated by your doctor!
Always discuss your values with your doctor and tell him/her if
you have noticed anything unusual or feel unsure. Never rely
on single blood pressure readings.
There are several causes of excessively high blood pressure
values. Your doctor will explain them in more detail and offer
treatment where appropriate. Besides medication, weight loss
and exercise can also lower your blood pressure.
Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of
any drugs prescribed by your doctor!
Depending on physical exertion and condition, blood pressure
is subject to wide fluctuations as the day progresses. You
should therefore take your measurements in the same
quiet conditions and when you feel relaxed! Take at least
two readings every time (in the morning and in the evening) and
average the measurements.
It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succes-
sion to produce significantly different results.
Deviations between measurements taken by your doctor or in
the pharmacy and those taken at home are quite normal, as
these situations are completely different.
Several measurements
provide much more reliable information
about your blood pressure than just one single measurement.
Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two
measurements.
If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia, see
«Section 5.»), measurements taken with this device should be
evaluated with your doctor.
The pulse display is not suitable for checking the
frequency of heart pacemakers!
If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure
very closely as it can change drastically during this time!
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».
3. Using the Device for the First Time
Inserting the batteries
After you have unpacked your device, first insert the batteries. The
battery compartment
6
is at the back of the device. Insert the
batteries (2 x 1.5 V, size AAA), thereby observing the indicated polarity.
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.
When using an L cuff with this device, be sure to only use it
with the corresponding black deflation valve.
Contact your local Microlife Service if the enclosed cuff 7 does
not fit.
Connect the cuff tube to the cuff pin 5 as far as it will go.
Connecting the pump ball
Connect the tube of the pump ball 9 to the pump ball pin 4.
The pump ball and cuff can be placed on either pin
4
or
5
.
