4. Taking a blood pressure measurement

1. Slide the lock switch 3 down to the »unlock« position.
2. Select standard (single measurement) or AFIB/MAM mode
(automatic triple measurement): see details in chapter 2.«
3. Press the START/STOP button 1 to start the measurement.
4. 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.
5. 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.
6. During the measurement, the pulse indicator BR flashes in the
display.
7. The result, comprising the systolic AP and the diastolic AQ blood
pressure and the pulse rate AR are displayed. Note also the
explanations on further display symbols in this booklet.
8. When the device has finished measuring, remove the cuff.
9. Switch off the device. (The monitor does switch off automati-
cally after approx. 1 min.).
AF detection is only activated in AFIB/MAM mode.
You can stop the measurement at any time by pressing the
ON/OFF button (e.g. if you feel uneasy or an unpleasant
pressure sensation).
This monitor is specially tested for use in pregnancy and
pre-eclampsia. When you detect unusual high readings in
pregnancy, you should measure after a short while again
(eg. 1 hour). If the reading is still too high, consult your
doctor or gynecologist.
In pregnancy the AFIB symbol can be ignored.
How not to store a reading
As soon as the reading is displayed press and hold the START/
STOP button 1 until «M» AO is flashing. Confirm to delete the
reading by pressing the M-button AO.
«CL» is displayed when the reading is deleted from the
memory successfully.
How do I evaluate my blood pressure
The LED traffic light indicator on the left-hand side of the display
AP indicates within which range the measured blood pressure lies.
The value is either within the optimum (green), elevated (yellow) or
high (red) range. The classification corresponds to the following
Microlife BP A7 Touch BT
ranges defined by international guidelines (ESH, ESC, JSH). Data
in mmHg.
Range
Systolic Diastolic Recommendation
1. blood pressure
≥135
too high
130 - 134 80 - 84
2. blood pressure
elevated
<130
3. blood pressure
normal
The higher value is the one that determines the evaluation.
Example: a blood pressure value of 140/80 mmHg or a value of
130/90 mmHg indicates »blood pressure too high«.

5. Data memory

This device automatically stores up to 99 measurement values for
each of the 2 users and guest mode.
Viewing the stored values
Switch the lock switch 3 to »unlock« position. Select either user
1 or 2 with the user indicator BM. 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.
Memory full
Pay attention that the maximum memory capacity of 99 me-
mories 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 befor
the memory capacity is reached – otherwise data will be lost.
Clearing all values
Make sure the correct user is activated.
1. Firstly unlock the device 3, then select either 1 or 2 with the
user indicator BM.
2. Hold down the M-button AO 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 START/STOP button 1 while
«CL» is flashing.
Individual values cannot be cleared.
