How Do I Evaluate My Blood Pressure; Data Memory; Battery Indicator And Battery Change; Low Battery - Microlife AFID ADVANCED EASY Instruction Manual

9. During the measurement, the pulse indicator AQ flashes in the
display.
10.The result, comprising the systolic AK and the diastolic AL
blood pressure and the pulse rate AM is displayed. Note also the
explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.
11.When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
12.Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automati-
cally after approx. 1 min.).

You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
START/STOP button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an
unpleasant pressure sensation).

If the systolic blood pressure is known to be very high,
it can be an advantage to set the pressure individually.
Press the START/STOP button after the monitor has been
pumped up to a level of approx. 30 mmHg (shown on the
display). Keep the button pressed until the pressure is
about 40 mmHg above the expected systolic value – then
release the button.

How do I evaluate my blood pressure?

The triangle on the left-hand edge of the display AO points at the
range within which the measured blood pressure value 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, ESC, JSH). Data
in mmHg.
Range Systolic Diastolic Recommendation
≥135
1. blood pressure
too high
2. blood pressure 130 - 134 80 - 84
elevated
3. blood pressure <130
normal
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».

5. Data Memory

This device always stores the last result at the end of the measure-
ment. To recall the reading, press and hold the ON/OFF button 1
while the device is switched off. Release the button as soon as all

display elements are shown. The stored result will then be shown,
indicated with the letter «M» AP.

6. Battery Indicator and Battery change

Low battery

When the batteries are approximately ¾ empty the battery symbol AN
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 AN 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 5 on the bottom of the device.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the
symbols in the compartment.

Which batteries and which procedure?


Use 4 new, long-life 1.5 V, size AAA alkaline batteries.

Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.

Remove batteries if the device is not going to be used for a
prolonged period.

Using rechargeable batteries

You can also operate this device using rechargeable batteries.

Only use «NiMH» type reusable batteries.

Batteries must be removed and recharged when the flat
battery symbol appears. They should not remain inside the
device as they may become damaged (total discharge as a
result of low use of the device, even when switched off).

Always remove the rechargeable batteries if you do not
intend to use the device for a week or more.

Batteries cannot be charged in the blood pressure monitor.
Recharge batteries in an external charger and observe the
information regarding charging, care and durability.

7. Using a Mains Adapter

You can operate this device using the Microlife mains adapter
(DC 6V, 600 mA).

Only use the Microlife mains adapter available as an original
accessory appropriate for your supply voltage.

Ensure that neither the mains adapter nor the cable are
damaged.
