Microlife BP B3 AFIB [6/20] Selecting standard or mam mode
4
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector 9
into the cuff socket 5 as far as it will go.
Selecting standard or MAM mode
Before each measurement, select standard (single measurement)
or MAM mode (automatic triple measurement). In MAM mode,
3 measurements are automatically taken in succession and the
result is then automatically analysed and displayed. Because the
blood pressure constantly fluctuates, a result obtained in this way
is more reliable than when a single measurement is performed.
To select MAM mode, press the MAM button 4 until the MAM-
symbol AO appears on the display. To change to standard mode
(single measurement), press the MAM-button again, until the
MAM-symbol disappears.
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.
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.
If one of the individual measurements was questionable, a fourth
one is automatically taken.
AF detection is only activated in MAM mode.
4. Checklist for Taking a Reliable Measurement
Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the
measurement.
Sit down on a back-supported chair and relax for 5 minutes.
Keep the feet flat on the floor and do not cross your legs.
Always measure on the same arm
(normally left). It is recom-
mended that doctors perform double arm measurements on a
patients first visit in order to determine which arm to measure in the
future. The arm with the higher blood pressure should be measured.
Remove close-fitting garments from the upper arm. To avoid
constriction, shirt sleeves should not be rolled up - they do not
interfere with the cuff if they are laid flat.
Always ensure that the correct cuff size is used (marking on the cuff).
Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.
Make sure that the cuff is positioned 2 cm above the elbow.
The artery mark on the cuff (ca. 3 cm long bar) must lie over
the artery which runs down the inner side of the arm.
Support your arm so it is relaxed.
Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.
5. Taking a Blood Pressure Measurement
1. Select standard (single measurement) or MAM mode (automatic
triple measurement): see details in chapter «3.».
2. Press the ON/OFF button 1 to start the measurement.
3. The cuff will now pump up automatically. Relax, do not move
and do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement
result is displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.
4. The cuff fit check AR on the display indicates that the cuff is
perfectly placed. If the icon AR-A appears, the cuff is fitted
suboptimally, but it is still ok to measure.
5. 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.
6. During the measurement, the pulse indicator BM flashes in the
display.
7. The result, comprising the systolic AL and the diastolic AM blood
pressure and the pulse rate AN is displayed. Note also the
explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.
8. When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
9. Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automatically
after approx. 1 min.).
AF detection is only activated in MAM mode.
You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant
pressure sensation).
This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and
pre-eclampsia. When you detect unusual high readings in
pregnancy, you should measure after a short while again
(eg. 1 hour). If the reading is still too high, consult your
doctor or gynecologist.
In pregnancy the AFIB symbol can be ignored.
Manual inflation
In case of high systolic blood pressure (e.g. above 135 mmHg)
,
it can be an advantage to set the pressure individually. Press the ON/
OFF 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.
How not to store a reading
As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF
button 1 until «M» AP is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by
pressing the MAM button 4.
