Using The Device For The First Time; Inserting The Batteries; Selecting The Correct Cuff; Selecting Standard Or Mam Mode - Microlife AFIB ADVANCED EASY User Manual

 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.
 Leave a small break of >5 minutes between two
measurements.
 If you suffer from a cardiac arrhythmia consult with your doctor
before using the device. See also chapter «Appearance of the
Atrial Fibrillation Indicator for early Detection (Active only in
AFIB/MAM mode)» of this user manual.
 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
pregnancy, you should measure after a short while again
(eg. 1 hour). If the reading is still too high, consult your
doctor or gynecologist.

In pregnancy the AFIB symbol can be ignored.

3. Using the device for the first time

Inserting the batteries


Only use Microlife cuffs.
Contact your local Microlife Service if the enclosed cuff 6

does not fit.
Connect the cuff to the device by inserting the cuff connector 7

into the cuff socket 3 as far as it will go.
If you buy a spare Microlife cuff, please remove the cuff connector
7 from the cuff tube 8 from the cuff supplied with the original
device and insert this cuff connector into the tube of the spare cuff
(valid for all cuff sizes).
Spare part cuffs are delivered with different cuff connectors 7. If
you exchange/replace the cuff for this device please ensure that is
the same connector as the one supplied with the original cuff.

Selecting standard or MAM mode

This device enables you to select either standard (standard single
measurement) or AFIB/MAM mode (automatic triple measure-
ment). To select standard mode, slide the AFIB/MAM switch 7 on
the side of the device downwards to position «1» and to select
AFIB/MAM mode, slide this switch upwards to position «3».
MAM-Mode
In AFIB/MAM mode, 3 measurements are automatically taken in
succession and the result is then automatically analysed and
displayed. Because the blood pressure constantly fluctuates, a
result determined in this way is more reliable than one produced
by a single measurement.
 When you select the 3 measurements, the AFIB/MAM-symbol
BT appears in the display.
 The bottom, right hand section of the display shows a 1, 2 or 3
to indicate which of the 3 measurements is currently being
taken.
 There is a break of 15 seconds between the measurements.
A count down indicates the remaining time.
 The individual results are not displayed. Your blood pressure
will only be displayed after all 3 measurements are taken.
 Do not remove the cuff between measurements.
 If one of the individual measurements was questionable, a
fourth one is automatically taken.

Microlife AFIB is also activated in standard mode. If the
device detects AF in standard mode, the cuff pressure will
stop at a level of approx. 60 mmHg to receive more data.
The hourglass 15 will appear in the display.
