How Not To Store A Reading; Appearance Of The Atrial Fibrillation Indicator For Early Detection (Active Only In Afib/Mam Mode); Traffic Light Indicator In The Display; Pc-Link Functions - Microlife BP A7 Touch Manual De Instrucciones

10.The result, comprising the systolic AQ and the diastolic AR
blood pressure and the pulse rate AS is displayed. Note also the
explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.
11.When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
12.Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automati-
cally after approx. 1 min.).

How not to store a reading

As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the START/
STOP button AM until «M» AO is flashing. Confirm to delete the
reading by pressing the M-button AO.

You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
START/STOP button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an
unpleasant pressure sensation).

If the systolic blood pressure is known to be very high,
it can be an advantage to set the pressure individually.
Press the START/STOP button after the monitor has been
pumped up to a level of approx. 30 mmHg (shown on the
display). Keep the button pressed until the pressure is
about 40 mmHg above the expected systolic value – then
release the button.
5. Appearance of the Atrial Fibrillation Indicator for
early Detection (Active only in AFIB/MAM mode)
This device is able to detect atrial fibrillation (AF). This symbol BM
indicates that atrial fibrillation was detected during the measure-
ment. Please refer to the next paragraph for information regarding
the consultation with your doctor.
Information for the doctor on frequent appearance of the
atrial fibrillation indicator
This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also
analyses pulse irregularity during measurement. The device is
clinically tested.
The AFIB symbol is displayed after the measurement, if atrial
fibrillation occurred during measuring. If the AFIB symbol
appears after having performed a full blood pressure measure-
ment episode (triplicate measurements), the patient is advised to
perform another measurement episode (triplicate measure-
ments). If the AFIB symbol appears again, we recommend the
patient to seek medical advice.
If the AFIB-symbol appears on the screen of the blood pressure
monitor, it indicates the possible presence of atrial fibrillation.
The atrial fibrillation diagnosis however, must be made by a
cardiologist based on ECG interpretation.


Keep the arm still during measuring to avoid false readings.

This device may not or wrongly detect atrial fibrillation in
people with pacemakers or defibrillators.

6. Traffic Light Indicator in the Display

The bars on the left-hand edge of the display BK show you the
range within which the indicated blood pressure value lies.
Depending on the height of the bar, the readout value is either
within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow), too high (orange) or
dangerously high (red) range. The classification corresponds to
the 4 ranges in the table as defined by the international guidelines
(ESH, ESC, JSH), as described in «Section 1.».

7. PC-Link Functions

This device can be used in conjunction with a personal computer
(PC) running the Microlife Blood Pressure Analyser (BPA) software.
The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the
monitor via a cable.
If no CD and cable is included download the BPA software from
www.microlife.com and use a USB cable with a Mini-B 5 pin connector.

Installation and data transmission

1. Insert CD into the CD ROM drive of your PC. The installation
will start automatically. If not, please click on «SETUP.EXE».
2. Connect the monitor via the cable to the PC; there is no need to
switch the device on. 3 horizontal bars will appear on the
display and last for 3 seconds.
3. The bars will then flash to indicate that the connection between
PC and device is successful. As long as the cable is plugged in,
the bars will keep flashing and the buttons are disabled.

During the connection, the device is completely controlled
by the computer. Please refer to the «help» file for software
instructions.

8. Data Memory

This device automatically stores up to 99 measurement values for
each of the 2 users.

Viewing the stored values

Switch the lock switch AK to «unlock» position. Select either user
1 or 2 with the user indicator AP. Press the M-button AO briefly. The
display shows an average value.
Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing
the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored
value to another.
