Microlife Watch BP Home Manual page 4

Dear Customer,
The Microlife WatchBP Home is designed to provide reliable and
unbiased patients' home readings, strictly following the European
Society of Hypertension (ESH) recommendations
the monitor has been clinically validated according to the ESH
protocol . Self-blood pressure monitoring by patients at home has
3
been endorsed by hypertension societies as an important adjunct to
the conventional office blood pressure measurements.
The doctor asks patient to take home readings for seven consecutive
working days in the «DIAG.» mode. In this mode, the device allows
for only two BP measurements to be taken in the morning (6-9 am)
and another two in the evening (6-9 pm). After completing seven
days, the device displays a symbol suggesting that the patient has to
consult his/her doctor. Pressing the memory button on the device
displays the average of all measurements after discarding those of
the first day.
In the «USUAL» mode, casual blood pressure readings can be taken
at any time of the day; up to 250 measurements can be stored.
The device has computer link capacity to display, store or print
through a computer all BP data.
