Irregular Heartbeat Detector - Microlife BP3MQ1-LF Instruction Booklet

When the unit is set to the Averaging Mode setting, 3 separate measurements
will take place in succession after which your result is calculated. There is a 15
second resting time in-between each measurement. A count down indicates the
remaining time and a beep will sound 5 seconds before the 2nd and 3rd read-
ings will begin.
If one of the measurements causes an error message, it will be repeated one more time.
If any additional error occurs, the measurements will be discontinued and an error code
displayed.
Expanding the averaged measurement to see the three individual readings:
This function allows you to view the three individual measurements used to calculate the
Microlife Averaging Mode (MAM) measurement. After taking a MAM measurement hold
the memory button for 3 seconds until you hear a short beep. (Do not hold the button
longer than 7 seconds or you will delete all the readings in the memory.) Let go of the but-
ton and watch the screen. It will automatically scroll through the
three measurements used in the measurement.
5.5. Irregular Hearbeat Detector
This symbol indicates that certain pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may
deviate from your normal basal blood pressure – repeat the meas-
urement. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if
the symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g. several times a week
with measurements taken daily), we advise you to tell your doctor.
Please show your doctor the following explanation:
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor device that also analyzes pulse
frequency during measurement. The instrument is clinically tested.
If pulse irregularities occur during measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol is dis-
played after the measurement. If the symbol appears more frequently (e.g. several times
per week on measurements performed daily) or if it suddenly appears more often than
usual, we recommend the patient to seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves to detect pulse irregu-
larities at an early stage.
