1. Introduzzjoni

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.

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. Agħfas il- BIDU/WAQQF button. The cuff will automatically inflate.
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.
