Mam Technology (Microlife Average Mode) - Microlife BP RM 100 Manual De Instrucciones

WHO guidelines (1999) give the following recommendations:
L – Low Risk: Doctor should observe the patient over a significant period of time before deciding weather
to institute drug treatment.
M – Medium Risk: Blood pressure and other risk factors should be monitored for several weeks and
obtain further information before doctor decides weather to institute drug treatment.
H – High Risk / VH – Very High Risk: Doctor should institute immediate drug treatment for the hyper-
tension and the other risk factors or conditions present.

2.5. MAM technology (Microlife Average Mode)

• «MAM technology» is a new type of concept for optimum reliability in self-measurement of blood
pressure.
• An advanced measurement accuracy is achieved by the automatic analysis of three successive
measurements.
• The new system provides reliable values for the doctor and can be used as the basis for reliable
diagnostics and medication therapy for high blood pressure.
A) Why MAM?
• Human blood pressure is not stable and can vary
considerably within a short period of time.
B) Key advantages
Reduction of:
• Insufficient rest prior to measurement
• Movement artefacts (talking or moving during
measurement)
• Cuff positioning influences
C) Medical benefits
• Improved accuracy
• Reliable patient self-measurement data for the doctor
• Safe hypertension diagnosis
• Reliable therapy control
D) Measurement sequence
• With the full measurement cycles, the total
measurement time remains less than 3 minutes,
compared to a single measurement time of 1.5 minute.
• Single results are not displayed.
• The display counts down the time remaining until the
next reading.
• Due to the «Data Analysis» result, a 4th measurement
may be applied.
• Only the final analysed data reading is displayed.
