Appearance Of The Heart Arrhythmia Indicator For Early Detection - Microlife BP A50 Manual Del Usuario

7. Take the pump ball in your free hand (the arm you are not measu-
ring from) and pump up the cuff. Watch the pressure indication in
the display and pump approx. 40 mmHg higher than the expected
systolic value (the upper value). If you have not pumped enough,
a flashing arrow « » BT will appear telling you to pump higher.
8. After pumping, the measurement is taken automatically. Relax,
do not move and do not tense your arm muscles until the measu-
rement result is displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.
9. During the measurement, the heart symbol AN flashes in the
display and a beep sounds every time a heartbeat is detected.
10. The result, comprising the systolic AQ and the diastolic AR blood
pressure and the pulse AS is displayed and longer beep is heard.
Note also the explanations on further displays in this booklet.
11. When the measurement has finished, press the quick-acting
discharge valve 6 in order to release any remaining air in the
cuff. Remove the cuff.
12. Switch off the instrument. (The monitor does switch off auto-
matically after approx. 1 min.).
You can interrupt the measurement at any time by pressing
the quick-acting discharge valve 6 (e.g. if you feel uneasy or
notice an unpleasant pressure sensation).

4. Appearance of the Heart Arrhythmia Indicator for
early Detection
This symbol AM indicates that certain pulse irregularities were
detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may
deviate from your normal blood pressure – repeat the measurement.
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 measure-
ments 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
Arrhythmia indicator
This instrument is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse frequency during measurement. The instrument is
clinically tested.
The arrhythmia symbol is displayed after the measurement, if pulse
irregularities occur during measurement. If the symbol appears more
frequently (e.g. several times per week on measurements performed
daily) we recommend the patient to seek medical advice.
The instrument does not replace a cardiac examination, but serves
to detect pulse irregularities at an early stage.
