92.2. What is blood pressure?Blood pressure is the pressure created in the blood vessels by each heart beat. Whenthe heart contracts (= systole) and pumps blood into the arteries, it brings about a risein pressure. The highest value is known as the systolic pressure and is the first valueto be measured. When the cardiac muscle relaxes to take in fresh blood, the pressurein the arteries also falls. Once the arteries are relaxed, a second reading is taken – thediastolic pressure.2.3. How is blood pressure measured?The 3NF1-2B is a blood pressure unit which is used to measure blood pressure at theupper arm. The measurement is carried out by a microprocessor, which, via a pressuresensor, measures the vibrations resulting from the inflation and deflation of the cuffover the artery.2.4. Why should you take your blood pressure at home?Microlife has had many years of experience in the field of blood pressure measure-ment. The high precision of Microlife devices has been confirmed by extensive clinicaltests, carried out according to strict international standards. One strong argument infavour of taking blood pressure at home is the fact that the readings are taken infamiliar surroundings under relaxed conditions. The most important reading is thesocalled „baseline value“, the one taken before breakfast, directly after getting up inthe morning. As far as it is possible, you should always try to take your blood pressureat the same time and under the same conditions each day.This ensures comparable results and helps in detecting the first signs of high bloodpressure. If high blood pressure remains undetected, it increases the risk of furthercardiovascular diseases.THEREFORE WE RECOMMEND:Take a blood pressure reading daily and on a regular basis, even if you are experienc-ing no apparent complaints.2.5. Blood pressure classificationThe following standards for assessing high blood pressure (in adults) have beenestablished by the National Institutes of Health JNC7, 2003. Category Systolic Diastolic(mmHg) (mmHg)Normal <120 and <80Pre-Hypertension 120-139 or 80-89HypertensionStage 1 Hypertension 140-159 or 90-99Stage 2 Hypertension ≥160 or ≥1002G-IB-edit for NF1-2B_rev_2.3:MLU3AC1-JAN05-2 14-11-20 10:25 Page 9
10+Further information• If your values are mostly normal under resting conditions but exceptionally highunder conditions of physical or psychological stress, it is possible that you aresuffering from so-called "labile hypertension." Consult your doctor.• Correctly measured diastolic blood pressure values above 120 mmHg requireimmediate medical treatment.Hypertension risk indicatorThe bars on the left-hand edge of the display show you the range within which theindicated blood pressure value lies. Depending on the height of the bar, the readoutvalue is either within the normal (green), borderline (yellow) or danger (orange, red)range.The classification is based on standards established by the National Institutes ofHealth JNC7, 2003.The traffic light bar illuminates according to your measurement.• If your measurement has only the green bar,your measurement is "Normal," accordingto NIH standards.• If your measurement shows the yellow bar, your measurement is "Pre-Hypertension."• If your measurement shows the orange bar, it is "Stage 1 Hypertension."• If your measurement shows the red bar, it is "Stage 2 Hypertension."Indication of a"Normal" BloodPressureIndication of a "Pre-Hypertension" BloodPressureIndication of a "Stage 1Hypertension" BloodPressureIndication of a "Stage 2Hypertension" BloodPressure2G-IB-edit for NF1-2B_rev_2.3:MLU3AC1-JAN05-2 14-11-20 10:25 Page 10
11WARNINGBlood pressure that is too low represents just as great a health risk as blood pressurethat is too high! Fits of dizziness may lead to dangerous situations arising (e.g. onstairs or in traffic)!2.6. Fluctuations in blood pressureThere are many factors that can influence blood pressure. Readings can be affectedseriously by stress, fear, heavy physical exertion or the time of day at which themeasurements are taken. Your personal blood pressure values are subject to consider-able fluctuation during the course of the day and the year. These fluctuations areparticularly pronounced in the case of patients suffering from hypertension. Bloodpressure is usually at its highest during physical exertion and at its lowest at nightwhen you are asleep.2.7. Influencing and evaluating readings• Measure your blood pressure several times, then record and compare the results. Donot draw any conclusions from a single reading.• Your blood pressure readings should always be evaluated by a doctor who is alsofamiliar with your personal medical history. When using the unit regularly andrecording the values for your doctor, you should visit the doctor from time to time tokeep him updated.• When taking readings, remember that the daily values are influenced by severalfactors. Smoking, consumption of alcohol, drugs and physical exertion influence themeasured values in various ways.• Measure your blood pressure before meals.• Before taking readings, allow yourself at least five minutes rest.• If the systolic and diastolic readings seem unusual (too high or too low) on severaloccasions, despite correct use of the unit, please inform your doctor. This alsoapplies to the rare occasions when an irregular or very weak pulse prevents youfrom taking readings.3. Getting Started3.1. Inserting / removing batteriesInsertion: Open the battery compartment on the underside of the unit by exertinggentle pressure in the direction indicated by the arrow, and insert the four batteriesincluded with the unit (alkaline batteries, AA type, LR 6). Remember to insert thebatteries as indicated in the diagram in the battery compartment. Once the batteriesare inserted correctly (or once the power unit is plugged in), you should hear 2 beeps. 2G-IB-edit for NF1-2B_rev_2.3:MLU3AC1-JAN05-2 14-11-20 10:25 Page 11
12When the ON/OFF switch is activatedV, you will hear 2 beeps and all the symbolsappear on the display for one second. Then the following appears: “ - : - - “. Replacethe lid, pressing it until it snaps into place.Removal:If the voltage in the batteries drops below 5 - 4.5 V, the display shows the batterysymbol as. Switch the device off using the ON/OFF switch V and insert new batter-ies. Should the used batteries be jammed in the compartment, use a pointed instru-ment, such as a ballpoint pen, to carefully prise them out.As soon as the voltage in the batteries drops below 4.25 - 0.25 V, the display showsthe battery symbolas . The device automatically switches off immediately after thissymbol appears. The device will not function until new batteries are inserted.Note that you have to reset the date and time each time you replace the batteries,unless this is set automatically via the radio clock when the device is switched onusing the ON/OFF switch V. The previous measuring results are saved.WARNINGBATTERY SAFETY INFORMATION• Do not disassemble batteries!• Clean the battery and device contacts if necessary before putting in the batteries!• Remove discharged batteries from the device immediately!• Increased risk of leakage, avoid contact with skin, eyes and mucous membranes!

There is a danger of explosion!• Keep unused batteries in their packaging away from metal objects in order toprevent short circuiting!• Do not throw used batteries into the household refuse; put them in a hazardouswaste container or take them to a battery collection point, at the shop where theywere purchased!3.2. Using a mains adaptorAlternatively, you can also run the device using a special power supply unit. Connect itto at on the back ofthe device. In this case the batteries remain in the unit.Inserting the connector into the back of the blood pressure monitor switches the batter-ies off mechanically. It is necessary, therefore, to plug the mains adaptor into the mainssocket first of all and then to connect it to the blood pressure monitor. If the bloodpressure monitor is no longer being used, first remove the connector from the bloodpressure monitor and then pull the mains adaptor out of the mains socket. Doing thismeans that the date and time will not have to be reset each time.3.3. Setting time and dateSwitch the device to standby mode.
