Using The Device For The First Time; Inserting The Batteries; Setting The Date And Time - Microlife BP W3 Comfort Instructions Manual

 There are several causes of excessively high blood pressure
values. Your doctor will explain them in more detail and offer
treatment where appropriate.
 Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of
drugs or initiate a treatment without consulting your doctor.
 Depending on physical exertion and condition, blood pressure is
subject to wide fluctuations as the day progresses. You should
therefore take your measurements in the same quiet condi-
tions and when you feel relaxed! Take at least two readings
every time (in the morning: before taking medications and eating
/ in the evening: before going to bed, bathing or taking medica-
tion) and average the measurements.
 It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succession
to produce significantly different results. Therefore we recom-
mend using the MAM technology.
 Deviations between measurements taken by your doctor or in
the pharmacy and those taken at home are quite normal, as these
situations are completely different.
 Several measurements provide much more reliable information
about your blood pressure than just one single measurement.
Therefore we recommend using the MAM technology.
 Leave a small break of at least 15 seconds between two
measurements.

 If you suffer from an irregular heartbeat, measurements taken
with this device should be evaluated with your doctor.
 The pulse display is not suitable for checking the frequency
of heart pacemakers!
 If you are pregnant, you should monitor your blood pressure
regularly as it can change drastically during this time.

This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and pre-
eclampsia. When you detect unusual high readings in preg-
nancy, you should measure after a short while again (eg.
1 hour). If the reading is still too high, consult your doctor or
gynecologist.
