How do I know if the device is still accurate after
long usage or after being dropped?
● Generally, the monitor gives accurate results if it is working. If for
example. the device has been dropped but you cannot detect any
malfunction when operating it, there is no need to worry about
the accuracy. The main component that mainly influences the
accuracy is stored in the computer program. This software either
works or doesn’t. Other parts which affect the accuracy such as
the deflation valve and the pressure sensor are very well
protected against modifications by accidents or ageing.
● In any case and in accordance with international standards we
recommed that you ask your authorised Microlife dealer to
perform an accuracy check every two years.
Why and when should send the device in for an
accuracy check?
● MICROLIFE’S blood pressure monitors are developed to remain
accurate for a long product life. To guarantee this accuarcy we
recommend-in accordance with international standards -that you
ask your authorised Microlife dealer to perform an accuracy check
every 2 years.
The systolic pressure measured by the MICROLIFE
blood pressure monitor is similar to what my doctor
measures but why is the diastolic pressure about 10
mmHg higher with the electronic monitor?
● The diastolic pressure is very difficult to detect with the
stethoscope and depend very much on the observer capabilities.
The correlation of the diastolic pressure is therefore typically
more difficult more difficult than the systolic.
