Microlife BP A6 BT Instructions Manual page 7

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 (only in AFIB/MAM mode)
This device is able to detect atrial fibrillation (AFIB). This symbol BN
indicates that atrial fibrillation was detected during the measurement.
If the AFIB symbol appears after having performed a full blood pres-
sure measurement episode (triplicate measurements), you are
advised to wait for one hour and perform another measurement
episode (triplicate measurements). If the AFIB symbol appears
again, then you are advised to visit your doctor. If after repeated
measurement the AFIB symbol is no longer displayed there is no
cause for concern. In such case it is recommended to measure again
the next day.
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
wait for one hour and perform another measurement episode
(triplicate measurements). If the AFIB symbol appears again, we
recommend the patient to seek medical advice.
The device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves
to detect atrial fibrillation that often remains undiagnosed until
stroke occurs.

Keep the arm still during measuring to avoid false readings.

This device may not detect atrial fibrillation in people with
pacemakers or defibrillators.
6. Traffic Light Indicator in the Display
The bars on the left-hand edge of the display BT 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
BP A6 BT
the 4 ranges in the table as defined by the international guidelines
(ESH, AHA, JSH), as described in «Section 1.».
