Frequently Asked Questions - BP A3 Plus MICROLIFE

How to use my Microlife BP A3 Plus blood pressure monitor?

1. Install the batteries or plug in the adapter. 2. Place the cuff around the left arm, at heart level. 3. Sit up straight, feet flat, arm resting on a table. 4. Press the START button. The device inflates and measures automatically. 5. Read the results on the screen. For the MAM function, press the MAM button to perform 3 consecutive measurements.

What does the AFIB symbol mean?

The AFIB (Atrial Fibrillation) symbol appears if the device detects an irregular heartbeat during measurement. It does not replace a medical diagnosis. Consult your doctor if this symbol appears regularly.

Why are my measurements different each time?

Blood pressure naturally varies. To obtain a reliable value, use the MAM function which takes 3 measurements and averages them. Follow measurement conditions: rest for 5 minutes beforehand, no coffee or tobacco, arm at heart level.

How to clean and maintain the device?

Clean the device and cuff with a soft, slightly damp cloth. Do not use solvents or abrasive products. Never immerse the device in water. Store it in its case away from humidity and extreme temperatures.

When should I replace the batteries?

Replace the 4 AAA batteries when the low battery symbol appears on the screen. Use quality alkaline batteries. Remove the batteries if the device is not used for several weeks to avoid leaks.

Can I use an AC adapter?

Yes, you can use a Microlife AC adapter (not included) with an output of 6 V DC/600 mA. Plug it into the socket on the side of the device. Make sure the adapter meets safety standards.

How to interpret the results?

The screen displays systolic pressure (top), diastolic pressure (middle), and pulse (bottom). A color indicator (green, orange, red) gives a quick assessment according to WHO recommendations. Consult your doctor for a personalized interpretation.

What to do if the device displays an error code like 'EE'?

The 'EE' error indicates a problem with inflation or detection. Check that the cuff is properly connected and positioned, that you are not moving during measurement, and that the batteries are sufficiently charged. If the error persists, contact customer service.

Is the cuff suitable for my arm circumference?

The standard cuff fits arm circumferences of 22 to 32 cm. If your arm is larger (up to 42 cm), you can order an optional XL cuff. Measure your bare arm circumference at mid-biceps to check.

Where to find the complete manual?

The complete manual is available in PDF format on notice-facile.com for the Microlife BP A3 Plus model. You can also download it from the official Microlife website or contact customer service.

1. Important facts about blood pressure and self-measurement

- Blood pressure is the pressure of the blood flowing in the arteries generated by the pumping of the heart. Two values, the systolic (upper) value and the diastolic (lower) value, are always measured.

- The device indicates the pulse rate (the number of times the heart beats in a minute).

- Permanently high blood pressure values can damage your health and must be treated by your doctor!

- Always discuss your values with your doctor and tell them if you have noticed anything unusual or feel unsure. Never rely on single blood pressure readings.

- There are several causes of excessively high blood pressure values. Your doctor will explain them in more detail and offer treatment where appropriate.

- Under no circumstances should you alter the dosages of drugs or initiate a treatment without consulting your doctor.

- Depending on physical exertion and condition, blood pressure is subject to wide fluctuations as the day progresses. You should therefore take your measurements in the same quiet conditions and when you feel relaxed! Take at least two readings every time (in the morning: before taking medications and eating / in the evening: before going to bed, bathing or taking medication) and average the measurements.

- It is quite normal for two measurements taken in quick succession to produce significantly different results.

- 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 irregular heartbeat (IHB) symbol» 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.

A number of factors can affect the accuracy of measurements taken on the wrist. In some cases, the result may differ from the measurement taken on the upper arm. We therefore advise you to compare these values with those produced by the upper arm measurement and discuss them with your doctor.

How do I evaluate my blood pressure

Table for classifying home blood pressure values in adults in accordance with the international Guidelines (ESH, ESC, JSH). Data in mmHg.

Range Systolic Diastolic Recommendation
1. blood pressure normal	< 120 < 74 Self-check
2. blood pressure optimum	120 - 129 74 - 79 Self-check
3. blood pressure elevated	130 - 134 80 - 84 Self-check
4. blood pressure too high	135 - 159 85 - 99 Seek medical advice
5. blood pressure dangerously high	≥ 160 ≥ 100 Urgently seek medical advice!

2. Using the device for the first time

Inserting the batteries

After you have unpacked your device, first insert the batteries. The battery compartment ④ is on the bottom of the device. Insert the batteries (4 x 1.5 V, size AA), thereby observing the indicated polarity.

Setting the date and time

1. After the new batteries are fitted, the year number flashes in the display. You can set the year by pressing the M-button ⑩. To confirm and then set the month, press the time button ⑧.
2. Press the M-button to set the month. Press the time button to confirm and then set the day.
3. Follow the instructions above to set the day, hour and minutes.
4. Once you have set the minutes and pressed the time button, the date and time are set and the time is displayed.
5. If you want to change the date and time, press and hold the time button for approx. 3 seconds until the year number starts to flash. Now you can enter the new values as described above.

Selecting the correct cuff

Microlife offers different cuff sizes. Select the cuff size to match the circumference of your upper arms (measured by close fitting in the centre of the upper arm).

Cuff size	for circumference of upper arm
S	17 - 22 cm
M	22 - 32 cm
M - L	22 - 42 cm
L	32 - 42 cm
L - XL	32 - 52 cm

Pre-shaped cuffs are optionally available.

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.

Selecting the user

This device allows to store the results for 2 individual users.

Before each measurement, set the user switch ⑨ for the intended user: user 1 or user 2.
▶ User 1: slide the user switch ⑨ upwards to the user 1 icon.
▶ User 2: slide the user switch ⑨ downwards to the user 2 icon.
The first person to measure should select user 1.

Selecting standard or MAM mode

This device enables you to select either standard (standard single measurement) or MAM mode (automatic triple measurement). To select standard mode, slide the MAM switch ⑧ on the side of the device downwards to position «1» and to select MAM mode, slide this switch upwards to position «3».

MAM mode (highly recommended)

• In 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 MAM-symbol ²² 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.

3. Taking a blood pressure measurement

Checklist for taking a reliable measurement

1. Avoid activity, eating or smoking immediately before the measurement.
2. Sit down on a back-supported chair and relax for 5 minutes. Keep your feet flat on the floor and do not cross your legs.
3. Always measure on the same arm (normally left). It is recommended that doctors perform double arm measurements on a patients first visit in order to determine which arm to measure in the future. The arm with the higher blood pressure should be measured.
4. Remove close-fitting garments from the upper arm. To avoid constriction, shirt sleeves should not be rolled up - they do not interfere with the cuff if they are laid flat.
5. Always ensure that the cuff is positioned correctly, as shown in the pictures illustrated on the short instruction card.

• Fit the cuff closely, but not too tight.
- Make sure that the cuff is positioned 1-2 cm above the elbow.
- The artery mark on the cuff (ca.3 cm long bar) must lie over the artery which runs down the inner side of the arm.
• Support your arm so it is relaxed.
- Ensure that the cuff is at the same height as your heart.

1. Press the ON/OFF button ① to start the measurement.

2. The cuff will now pump up automatically. Relax, do not move and do not tense your arm muscles until the measurement result is displayed. Breathe normally and do not talk.

3. When the correct pressure is reached, the pumping stops and the pressure falls gradually. If the required pressure was not reached, the device will automatically pump some more air into the cuff.

4. During the measurement, the heart symbol ⑳ flashes in the display and a beep sounds every time a heartbeat is detected.

5. The result, comprising the systolic ¹⁵ and the diastolic ¹⁶ blood pressure and the pulse rate ¹⁷ is displayed and a long beep is heard. Note also the explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.

6. Remove and switch off the monitor and enter the result in the enclosed blood pressure pass. (The monitor does switch off automatically after approx. 1 min.).

How not to store a reading

As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the ON/OFF button ① until «M»②5 is flashing. Confirm to delete the reading by pressing the M-button ⑩.

You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the ON/OFF button or open the cuff (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 ON/OFF 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.

4. Appearance of the irregular heartbeat (IHB) symbol

This symbol ② indicates that an irregular heartbeat was detected. In this case, the measured blood pressure may deviate from your actual blood pressure values. It is recommended to repeat the measurement.

Information for the doctor in case of repeated appearance of the IHB symbol:

This device is an oscillometric blood pressure monitor that also measures the pulse during blood pressure measurement and indicates when the heart rate is irregular.

5. Traffic light indicator in the display

The bars on the left-hand edge of the display ⑱ 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.».

6. Data memory

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

Viewing the stored values

Select either user 1 or 2 with the user switch ⑨.

Press the M-button ⑩ briefly, when the device is switched off. The display first shows «M» ⑲, and «28A» which stands for the average of all stored values.

Pressing the M-button again displays the previous value. Pressing the M-button repeatedly enables you to move from one stored value to another.

Memory full

Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 99 memories per user is not exceeded. When the 99 memory is full, the oldest value is automatically overwritten with the 100th value. Values should be evaluated by a doctor before the memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.

Clearing all values

Make sure the correct user is activated.

1. Select either user 1 or 2 with the user switch ⑨, when the device is switched off.
2. Hold down the M-button ⑩ until «CL» appears and then release the button.
3. Press the M-button while «CL» is flashing to permanently clear all values of the selected user.

Cancel deletion: press ON/OFF button ① while «CL» is flashing.

Individual values cannot be cleared.

7. Battery indicator and battery change

Low battery

When the batteries are approximately 3/4 empty the battery symbol ⑬ will flash as soon as the device is switched on (partly filled battery displayed). Although the device will continue to measure reliably, you should obtain replacement batteries.

Flat battery - replacement

When the batteries are flat, the battery symbol ⑬ will flash as soon as the device is switched on (flat battery displayed). You cannot take any further measurements and must replace the batteries.

1. Open the battery compartment ④ on the bottom of the device.
2. Replace the batteries – ensure correct polarity as shown by the symbols in the compartment.
3. To set date and time, follow the procedure described in Section 《2. Using the device for the first time》.
   The memory retains all values although date and time must be reset – the year number therefore flashes automatically after the batteries are replaced.

Which batteries and which procedure?

Use 4 new, long-life 1.5 V, size AA alkaline batteries.
Do not use batteries beyond their date of expiry.
Remove batteries if the device is not going to be used for a prolonged period.
