Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
atrial fibrillation indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The device is clin-
ically tested.
The AFIB symbol is displayed after the measurement, if atrial fibril-
lation 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.
The device does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to
detect atrial fibrillations at an early stage.
Sometimes the device will detect atrial fibrillation even when
it is not there. This can happen if the arm moves during the
reading or another rhythm problem is present. Keep the arm
still during the reading. Visiting your doctor with this device
may be necessary to check out any rhythm problems.
This device may not detect atrial fibrillation in people with
pacemakers or defibrillators.
6. PC-Link Functions
This device can be used in conjunction with a personal computer
(PC) running the Microlife Blood Pressure Analyser (BPA) software.
The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the
monitor via a cable.
If no CD and cable is included download the BPA software from
www.microlife.com and use a USB cable with a Mini-B 5 pin
connector.
Installation and data transmission
1. Insert CD into the CD ROM drive of your PC. The installation
will start automatically. If not, please click on «SETUP.EXE».
2. Connect the monitor via the cable to the PC; there is no need to
switch the device on. 3 horizontal bars will appear on the
display and last for 3 seconds.
3. The bars will then flash to indicate that the connection between
PC and device is successful. As long as the cable is plugged in,
the bars will keep flashing and the buttons are disabled.
During the connection, the device is completely controlled
by the computer. Please refer to the «help» file for software
instructions.
7. Data Memory
At the end of each measurement, this device automatically stores
the result, including date and time.
BP A110
Viewing the stored values
Press the M-button 2 briefly, when the device is switched off. The
display first shows «M» AS 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.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.
Memory full
Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 200 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.
8. Battery Indicator and Battery change
Low battery
When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol AR
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 AR 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 AT 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 3.».
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.
