Microlife BP B6 Connect Mode D'emploi page 7

Press the ON/OFF button 1 to start the measurement.

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.
The cuff fit check BT on the display indicates that the cuff is

perfectly placed. If the icon BT-A appears, the cuff is fitted
suboptimally, but it is still ok to measure.
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.
During the measurement, the pulse indicator BS flashes in the

display.
The result, comprising the systolic AP and the diastolic AQ blood

pressure and the pulse rate AR are displayed. Note also the
explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.
When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.

Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automati-

cally 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 or open the cuff (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» BP is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by
pressing the Bluetooth/Time button 4.

«CL» is displayed when the reading is deleted from the
memory successfully.
How do I evaluate my blood pressure
The LED traffic light indicator on the left-hand side of the display
8 indicates within which range the measured blood pressure lies.
The value is either within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow) or
high (red) range. The classification corresponds to the following
ranges defined by international guidelines (ESH, ESC, JSH). Data
in mmHg.
Range Systolic Diastolic Recommendation
1. blood pressure ≥135
too high
2. blood pressure 130 - 134 80 - 84
elevated
3. blood pressure <130
normal
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».
Average Indicator «MyCheck»
This symbol CT indicates after each measurement, if the most
recent measured value lies below, above or on the same level as
your stored average value (see also chapter «5. Data memory»).

If the measured Systole or Diastole is more than 5mmHg
higher than the stored average, the arrow shows upwards.

If the measured Systole or Diastole is more than 5mmHg
lower than the stored average, the arrow shows down-
wards.

If the measured Systole and Diastole do not differ by more
than 5mmHg from the stored average, the arrow shows
straight on.
