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 clin-
ically 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 traffic light display AN 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, AHA, JSH), as described in «Section 1.».
7. Data Memory
This device always stores the last result at the end of the measure-
ment. To recall the reading, press and hold the START/STOP
button 1 while the device is switched off. All display elements are
shown now. Release the button when the stored result with the
letter «M» AO is displayed.
8. Battery Indicator and Battery change
Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol AM
will flash as soon as the device is switched on (partly filled battery
displayed). Although the device will continue to measure reliably, you
should obtain replacement batteries.
BP A6 Easy
Flat battery – replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AM will flash as soon
as the device is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot
take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.
1. Open the battery compartment 5 on the bottom of the device.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the
symbols in the compartment.
Which batteries and which procedure?
Use 4 new, long-life 1.5 V, size AAA batteries.
Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.
Remove batteries if the device is not going to be used for a
prolonged period.
Using rechargeable batteries
You can also operate this device using rechargeable batteries.
Only use «NiMH» type reusable batteries.
Batteries must be removed and recharged when the flat
battery symbol appears. They should not remain inside the
device as they may become damaged (total discharge as a
result of low use of the device, even when switched off).
Always remove the rechargeable batteries if you do not
intend to use the device for a week or more.
Batteries cannot be charged in the blood pressure monitor.
Recharge batteries in an external charger and observe the
information regarding charging, care and durability.
9. Using a Mains Adapter
You can operate this device using the Microlife mains adapter
(DC 6V, 600 mA).
Only use the Microlife mains adapter available as an original
accessory appropriate for your supply voltage.
Ensure that neither the mains adapter nor the cable are
damaged.
1. Plug the adapter cable into the mains adapter socket 4 in the
blood pressure monitor.
2. Plug the adapter plug into the wall socket.
When the mains adapter is connected, no battery current is
consumed.
