9. During the measurement, the pulse indicator BL 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 AM until «M» AO is flashing. Confirm to delete the
reading by pressing the M-button AO.
 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.
5. Appearance of the Atrial Fibrillation Indicator for
early Detection (Active only in AFIB/MAM mode)
This device is able to detect atrial fibrillation (AF). This symbol BM
indicates that atrial fibrillation was detected during the measure-
ment. Please refer to the next paragraph for information regarding
the consultation with your doctor.
BP A7 Touch
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
atrial fibrillation indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse irregularity during measurement. The device is
clinically tested.
The AFIB symbol is displayed after the measurement, if atrial
fibrillation occurred during measuring. If the AFIB symbol
appears after having performed a full blood pressure measure-
ment episode (triplicate measurements), the patient is advised to
perform another measurement episode (triplicate measure-
ments). If the AFIB symbol appears again, we recommend the
patient to seek medical advice.
If the AFIB-symbol appears on the screen of the blood pressure
monitor, it indicates the possible presence of atrial fibrillation.
The atrial fibrillation diagnosis however, must be made by a
cardiologist based on ECG interpretation.

Keep the arm still during measuring to avoid false readings.

This device may not or wrongly detect atrial fibrillation in
people with pacemakers or defibrillators.

In the presence of atrial fibrillation the diastolic blood pressure
value may not be accurate.

6. Traffic Light Indicator in the Display

The bars on the left-hand edge of the display BK show you the
range within which the indicated blood pressure value lies.
Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either
within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow), too high (orange) or
dangerously high (red) range. The classification corresponds to
the 4 ranges in the table as defined by the international guidelines
(ESH, ESC, JSH), as described in «Section 1.».

7. PC-Link Functions

This device can be used in conjunction with a personal computer
(PC) running the Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer+ (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.
