1. Introduction

Thank you for purchasing a Microlife XL cuff. This cuff is suitable for arm circumferences of 12.6" to 20.5", and is easy to adapt to most Microlife monitors.

2.1. Cuff

The cuff assembly consists of the cuff and the cuff hose.

2.2. Cuff Assembly & Connector Types

3. Select your connector

IMPORTANT: This replacement package includes multiple connector types. It is critical that the correct connector be used.

1. Look at your old cuff and connector. Identify the cuff connector's shape and color. The connector is used for plugging the cuff into your monitor and is located at the end of the cuff hose.
2. If your cuff has a standard connector:
   • a) Find the silver regulatory label (usually located on the back of your device).
   • b) Review the label for ANY of the following:
     • b1. A triangular "IMT" symbol [? IMT Symbol]
     • b2. Any of the model numbers listed below:
       • BP3AR1-1PASC
       • BP3BM1-3ALDR
       • BP3MS1-3BLDR
       • BP3MV1-3BHM
       • BP3NM1-3WHM
       • BP3NM1-3WSMARK
       • BP3MV1-3BSMARK
       • BP3MV1-3XCVS
       • BP3MW1-4YCVS
       • BP3NQ1-4BHEB
   • c) If any of the conditions are met, use the standard connector with your new cuff.
   • d) If you do not meet the conditions in b 1-2, use the Advanced connector 3 (All Black). DO NOT USE THE STANDARD CONNECTOR.
3. If your cuff has an advanced connector:
   • a) Select a new connector matching the tip color of your current connector (yellow or blue).
4. Attach the cuff connector to the end of the cuff hose.
5. Connect the new cuff assembly (cuff, hose & connector) to your Microlife automatic blood pressure monitor, and ensure the connection fits snugly. It should not be loose.
6. Once the cuff is properly connected to the monitor, prepare the cuff for your measurement.

4. Applying the cuff

• Ensure clothing does not interfere with the cuff. Remove any tight or bulky items which might restrict the arm.
• Slide the cuff onto the arm, positioning it as illustrated, so that the hose is closer to your lower arm. Make certain that the lower edge of the cuff lies approximately 1/2" (1 to 2 cm) above the elbow and that the hose is closer to the inner side of the arm.
• IMPORTANT: The Artery Mark Indicator must lie over the brachial artery. The artery is located closer to the inside of the upper arm (directly under the front of the armpit).
• TIP: Align artery mark to pinky finger (NOT the center of your arm).
• Tighten the cuff by pulling the end, and secure the cuff by affixing the hook & loop material.
• Make sure the cuff is tightened correctly. It should fit the arm snugly, and you should just be able to slide two fingers between the arm and the cuff.
• Once the cuff is in position and adjusted, ensure the "Sizing Seam" marking falls within the "Size Range" marking. If it does not, the cuff may not be the correct size for your arm.
• Caution: Incorrect cuff sizing / application: Incorrect sizing can cause your systolic blood pressure measurement to swing up or down by 10 mmHg. Similarly, a cuff that is applied too loosely or too tightly will result in an inaccurate reading. Please contact customer service, or visit our website, for help determining and obtaining the correct sized cuff.

Comment: If it is not possible to fit the cuff to your left arm, it can also be placed on your right arm. However, all measurements should be taken on the same arm.

Using the cuff: Follow all instructions included with your original blood pressure monitor when taking a blood pressure measurement.

5. Care and maintenance

• The cuff contains a sensitive airtight bladder. Handle this cuff carefully. Avoid applying stress which can occur if the cuff and/or hose are twisted or folded. Do not pull on the hose. Keep both away from sharp objects.
• Clean the cuff exterior with a soft, dry cloth. Spots on the cuff can be removed carefully with a damp cloth and soapsuds. Do not submerge in water, place in dishwasher, or use chemical cleaning agents/solvents.
• Do not use the device if you think it is damaged or if anything appears unusual.
