Measuring Your Blood Pressure; Pulse Arrythmia Detector Feature; Hypertension Classification Indicator - Microlife BIOS Diagnostics 3AL1-3E Manuel D'instructions

Comment:
If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be placed on the right
arm. However all measurements should be made using the same arm.
Comparable blood pressure measurements always require the same conditions
(relax for several minutes before taking a measurement).

3.4 Measuring Your Blood Pressure

After following the guidelines described in the previous section and placing the
cuff around your upper arm, you are now ready to measure your blood pressure.
Follow these steps to record your measurement.
1. Press the button to turn on the device and start measurement. The LCD
screen is turned on. The cuff begins to inflate while the increasing cuff
pressure is displayed on the screen. After the suitable inflation pressure is
reached, the cuff stops inflating and the pressure gradually falls. A long beep
sounds when the measurement is completed. The systolic and diastolic blood
pressure values along with the pulse rate are displayed on the screen. The
measurement is displayed for approximately 3 minutes.
2. Switch off the device by pressing the
no button is pressed for 3 minutes, the instrument switches the display off.
3.5 PAD - Pulse Arrythmia Detector Feature
This symbol indicates that certain pulse irregularities were detected during
the measurement. In this case, the result may deviate from your normal basal blood
pressure – repeat the measurement. In most cases, this is no cause for concern.
However, if the PAD symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week
with measurement taken daily), we advise you to consult your doctor. Please show
your doctor the following explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the Pulse Arrythmia
Heartbeat Symbol
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor device that also analyzes pulse frequency during
measurement. The instrument is clinically tested.
If pulse irregularities occur during measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol is displayed after the
measurement. If the symbol appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on measurements performed
daily) or if it suddenly appears more often than usual, we recommend the patient seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregularities at an early
stage.

3.6 Hypertension Classification Indicator

The bars on the left hand edge of the display show you the range within which the indicated blood pressure
values lies. Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either within the normal (green), borderline
(yellow) or danger (red) range.
