Taking A Measurement; During Measurement - Microlife CARDIO+ Instruction Manual

Taking a Measurement

• Open the «Microlife Cardio+» app automatically by plugging the iOS
device to the monitor dock. Alternatively, click on the app displayed
on the iOS device screen.
• Select the measurement mode: ONE measurement (single), or MAM
measurement (triple).
• Press «Start» to begin.
• Press «Stop» to cancel anytime during the measurement (e.g., if
you feel uncomfortable because of the pressure from cuff). You can
cancel the measurement through the Apple device interface or the
blood pressure monitor itself.
☞ What Is MAM Measurement?
MAM stands for «Microlife Average Mode». It is a Microlife proprietary
patented technology that takes and analyzes your blood pressure in
3 successive measurements, automatically. Since blood pressure
constantly fluctuates, a result determined with MAM is more reliable
than a result obtained from a single measurement. This type of
7
measurement is also recommended by doctors in most of the medical
guidelines for hypertension management.

During Measurement

• The cuff will pump up automatically. Do not move or talk, and do not
tense your arm muscles. Breathe normally.
• When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops and the
pressure decreases gradually.
• The heart symbol flashes in the display every time a heartbeat is
detected.
• If you choose MAM measurement, 3 measurements are taken in
succession, with 15-second intervals between each one. A fourth
measurement will be taken if any of the results are unclear.
☞ During the measurement process, if you receive a phone call or
detach the iOS device from the dock, the cuff will automatically deflate
and stop the whole measurement process.
