Appearance Of The Heart Arrhythmia Indicator For Early Detection; Traffic Light Indicator In The Display; Data Memory; Setting The Alarm Function - Microlife BP A130 Manual

4. Appearance of the Heart Arrhythmia Indicator for
early Detection
This symbol AQ indicates that certain pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may
deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measure-
ment. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the
symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week with
measurements taken daily) we advise you to tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
Arrhythmia indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse frequency 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.

5. Traffic Light Indicator in the Display

The bars on the left-hand edge of the traffic light 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 normal (green), borderline (yellow) or danger (red)
range. The classification corresponds to the 6 ranges in the Table
as defined by the WHO, as described in «Section 1.».

6. Data Memory

At the end of each measurement, this device automatically stores
the result, including date and time.
Viewing the stored values
Press the M-button AT briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows «M» AP and then a value, e.g. «M 17». This
means that there are 17 values in the memory. The device then
switches to the last stored result at which point an audio interpre-
tation will also be heard.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.
BP A130
Memory full
Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 100 is
not exceeded. When the memory is full, the old values
are automatically overwritten with new ones. 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» appears and then release the
button. To permanently clear the memory, press the M-button
while «CL» is flashing. Individual values cannot be cleared.
How not to store a reading
As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF
button 1 until «M» AP is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by
pressing the M-button AT.

7. Setting the Alarm Function

This device allows you to set 2 alarm times at which an alarm
signal will then be triggered. This can be a useful aid, for instance
as a reminder to take medication.
