5. Appearance of the Atrial Fibrillation Indicator for
early Detection
This device is able to detect atrial fibrillation (AF). This symbol BO
indicates that atrial fibrillation was detected during the measurement.
Please refer to the next paragraph for information regarding the
consultation with your doctor.
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
atrial fibrillation indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse irregularity during measurement.
The AFIB symbol is displayed after the measurement, if atrial
fibrillation occurred during measuring. If the AFIB symbol
appears after having performed a blood pressure measurement,
the patient is advised to perform another measurement. If the
AFIB symbol appears again, we recommend the patient to seek
medical advice.
If the AFIB-symbol appears on the screen of the blood pressure
monitor, it indicates the possible presence of atrial fibrillation.
The atrial fibrillation diagnosis however, must be made by a
cardiologist based on ECG interpretation.
Keep the arm still during measuring to avoid false readings.
This device may not or wrongly detect atrial fibrillation in
people with pacemakers or defibrillators.
6. Traffic Light Indicator in the Display
The bars on the left-hand edge of the display BK 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 optimum (green), elevated (yellow), too high (orange) or
dangerously high (red) range. The classification corresponds to
the 4 ranges in the table as defined by the international guidelines
(ESH, AHA, JSH), as described in «Section 1.».

7. 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.
8. Data Memory
This device automatically stores up to 99 measurement values for
each of the 2 users.
Viewing the stored values
Select either user 1 or 2 with the user switch 9.
Switch the lock switch AN to «unlock» position. Press the M-button AK
briefly. The display first shows «M» BL and «A», which stands for the
average of all stored values.
Pressing the «+» AM or the «-» AL button repeatedly enables you
to move from one stored value to another. Press the M-button
again to exit the memory mode.
Memory full
Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 99
memories per user 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
Make sure the correct user is activated.
