Benutzerhandbuch für das Microlife AFIB Advanced Easy Blutdruckmessgerät

1. Einleitung

The Microlife AFIB Advanced Easy Blood Pressure Monitor is designed for accurate blood pressure measurement and early detection of Atrial Fibrillation (AF) at home. AF is a common heart arrhythmia that can lead to serious health complications, including stroke. This device utilizes patented Microlife AFIB Technology to screen for AF during routine blood pressure measurements, offering high sensitivity (97-100%) and specificity (89%) as clinically validated. Regular monitoring can assist in early diagnosis and management of hypertension and AF.

5.2. Manschettenanschluss

Connect the air tube from the cuff to the air socket located on the side of the blood pressure monitor unit. Ensure a firm connection.

6. Bedienungsanleitung

6.1. Vorbereitung zur Messung

• Essen, Rauchen und Sport sollten mindestens 30 Minuten vor der Messung vermieden werden.
• Rest in a calm environment for 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Sit comfortably with your back supported, feet flat on the floor, and legs uncrossed.
• Place your arm on a flat surface so that the cuff is at heart level.

6.2. Manschettenplatzierung

1. Ensure the cuff is placed directly on bare skin, not over clothing.
2. Wrap the cuff around your upper arm, approximately 2 cm above the elbow.
3. The artery mark on the cuff (usually an arrow) should align with your brachial artery, which runs along the inside of your arm.
4. Ziehen Sie die Manschette so fest, dass sie eng anliegt, aber nicht unangenehm eng ist. Sie sollten zwei Finger darunter schieben können.

6.3. Taking a Measurement (MAM Technology)

The Microlife AFIB Advanced Easy monitor features MAM (Microlife Average Mode) technology, which automatically takes three measurements in quick succession and calculates an average for a more reliable result. This mode is recommended for optimal accuracy.

1. Ensure the MAM switch (if present on your model) is set to the 'ON' or 'MAM' position. If no switch is present, the device may automatically operate in MAM mode.
2. Drücken Sie die START/STOP Knopf drücken. Die Manschette bläst sich automatisch auf.
3. Remain still and silent during the entire measurement process. The device will take three consecutive measurements with short pauses in between.
4. After the third measurement, the average blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and pulse rate will be displayed.

6.4. AFIB Detection

During the measurement, the device continuously screens for Atrial Fibrillation. If AF is detected, a specific AFIB symbol (e.g., a heart with irregular waves) will appear on the display after the measurement results. If this symbol appears repeatedly, consult your physician for further evaluation.

7. Wartung und Pflege

• Reinigung: Clean the monitor unit and cuff with a soft, dry cloth. Do not use abrasive cleaners, alcohol, or immerse the device in water.
• Lagerung: Store the device in its transport bag in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight, extreme temperatures, and high humidity.
