 If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure
regularly 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 after a short while again
(eg. 1 hour). If the reading is still too high, consult your
doctor or gynecologist.

How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

Table for classifying home blood pressure values in adults in
accordance with the international Guidelines (ESH, ESC, JSH).
Data in mmHg.
Range
Systolic
< 120
1. blood pressure
normal
120 - 129 74 - 79
2. blood pressure
optimum
130 - 134 80 - 84
3. blood pressure
elevated
135 - 159 85 - 99
4. blood pressure too
high
5. blood pressure
≥ 160
dangerously high
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».

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).
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
Optional preformed cuffs «Easy» are available for better
fitting and comfort.
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.

Selecting standard or MAM mode

This device enables you to select either standard (standard single
measurement) or MAM mode (automatic triple measurement). To
select standard mode, slide the MAM switch 8 on the side of the
device downwards to position «1» and to select MAM mode, slide
this switch upwards to position «3».

MAM mode (highly recommended)

 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 determined in this way is more reliable than one produced
by a single measurement.
