How Do I Evaluate My Blood Pressure; Average Indicator "Mycheck; Appearance Of The Pulse Arrhythmia (Pad); Data Memory - Microlife BPB6 Connect Manual

How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

The LED traffic light indicator on the left-hand side of the display 8
indicates within which range the measured blood pressure lies. The
value is either within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow) or high
(red) range. The classification corresponds to the following ranges
defined by international guidelines (ESH, AHA, JSH). Data in mmHg.
Range Systolic Diastolic Recommendation
1. blood pressure >135
too high
2. blood pressure 130 - 135 80 - 85
elevated
3. blood pressure <130
optimum
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.
Example: a blood pressure value of 140/80 mmHg or a value of
130/90 mmHg indicates «blood pressure too high».
Average Indicator «MyCheck»
This symbol CT indicates after each measurement, if the most
recent measured value lies below, above or on the same level as
your stored average value (see also chapter «5. Data Memory»).

If the measured Systole or Diastole is more than 5mmHg
higher than the stored average, the arrow shows upwards.

If the measured Systole or Diastole is more than 5mmHg
lower than the stored average, the arrow shows down-
wards.

If the measured Systole and Diastole do not differ by more
than 5mmHg from the stored average, the arrow shows
straight on.

If the measured systole and diastole differ in different direc-
tions from the stored average, this is indicated first with the
systole figure flashing, together with the up or down arrow
for two seconds. Thereafter, the diastole figure flashes with
the arrow pointing up or down for two seconds.

Appearance of the Pulse Arrhythmia (PAD)

The pulse arrhythmia indicator BL is displayed, when pulse irregu-
larities occurred during the measurement. If the symbol appears,
select MAM mode and measure again: see details in chapter «2.».

In MAM mode Atrial Fibrillation (AF) will also be checked:
follow the directions in chapter «1.».

5. Data Memory

This device automatically stores up to 99 measurement values for
each of the 2 users.
Select either user 1 or 2 by pressing the user button 5.

Viewing the average of the last 28 days

Press the M-button 3 briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows «M» BP and «28A», which stands for the
average of measurement values of the last 28 days.

Blood pressure readings with suboptimal cuff fit BT-A are
not considered in the average value.
Viewing the clinical blood pressure average «MyBP»
Pressing the M-button again, allows you to see the clinically rele-
vant blood pressure average «MyBP». The display first shows
«M» BP and «MyBP» BQ. This clinical blood pressure average is
only shown when 12 clinically relevant measurement values in the
last 28 days have been performed.

Only measurements that were performed in the morning
between 05:00-10:59 or in the evening between 17:00-
22:59 are considered.

A maximum of 4 readings per day are considered (2 from
the morning and 2 from the evening).

Measurements performed in standard mode and in MAM-
mode are considered in the average, when they have been
performed during the right time of the day.

Measurements performed in MAM-mode or single standard
mode are both classed as single measurements for working
out the «MyBP average».

Blood pressure readings with suboptimal cuff fit BT-A are
not considered in the average value.

Viewing the stored single values

Pressing the M-button again, allows you to see the last performed
measurement. The display first shows «M» BP and a value, e.g.
«M17». This means that there are 17 single values in the memory.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.

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
