Dear Customer,
Your new Microlife blood pressure monitor is a reliable medical
device for taking measurements on the upper arm. It is simple to
use, accurate and comes highly recommended for blood pressure
monitoring in your home. This device was developed in collabora-
tion with physicians and clinical tests carried out prove its
measurement accuracy to be of a very high standard.*
Microlife AFIB detection is the world's leading digital blood pres-
sure measurement technology for the detection of atrial fibrillation
(AFIB) and hypertension. These are the two top risk factors of
getting a stroke or heart disease in the future. It is important to
detect AFIB and hypertension at an early stage, even though you
may not experience any symptoms. Appropriate treatment will
reduce your risk of suffering a stroke. For this reason, it is recom-
mended that you visit your doctor when the device gives an AFIB
signal during your blood pressure measurement. The AFIB algo-
rithm of Microlife has been clinically investigated by several prom-
inent clinical investigators and showed that the device detects
patients with AFIB at a certainty of 97-100%.
Please read through these instructions carefully so that you under-
stand all functions and safety information. We want you to be happy
with your Microlife product. If you have any questions, problems or
want to order spare parts please contact your local Microlife-
Customer Service. Your dealer or pharmacy will be able to give you
the address of the Microlife dealer in your country. Alternatively, visit

invaluable information on our products.
