Data Memory; Viewing The Stored Values; Clearing All Values; Battery Indicator And Battery Change - Microlife BP B3 AFIB Manual

Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
Arrhythmia indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse irregularity during measurement. The device is
clinically tested.
The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if
pulse irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol
appears more frequently (e.g. several times per week on
measurements performed daily) we recommend the patient to
seek medical advice.
This device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves
to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.

In MAM mode Atrial Fibrillation (AF) will also be checked:
follow the directions in chapter «1.».

If the symbol appears, select MAM mode and measure
again: see details in chapter «2.».

5. Data Memory

This device automatically stores the last 99 measurement values.

Viewing the stored values

Press the M-button 3 briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows «M» AP and «A», which stands for the average
of all stored values.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.

Blood pressure readings with suboptimal cuff fit AR-A are
not considered in the average value.

Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 99
memories is not exceeded. When the 99 memory is full, the
oldest value is automatically overwritten with the 100th
value. Values should be evaluated by a doctor before the
memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.

Clearing all values

If you are sure that you want to permanently remove all stored
values, hold down the M-button (the device must have been
switched off beforehand) until «CL ALL» appears and then
release the button. To permanently clear the memory, press the
MAM button while «CL ALL» is flashing. Individual values cannot
be cleared.


Cancel deletion: press ON/OFF button 1 while «CL ALL»
is flashing.

6. Battery Indicator and Battery change

Low battery

When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol AQ
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.
Flat battery – replacement
When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol AQ 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 7 at the back of the device.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the
symbols in the compartment.
3. To set date and time, follow the procedure described in
«Section 2.».

The memory retains all values although date and time must
be reset – the year number therefore flashes automatically
after the batteries are replaced.

Which batteries and which procedure?


Use 4 new, long-life 1.5 V, size AA alkaline 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.
