1. Introduction

Your new Microlife Monitor is a high quality medical device that measures your

maximum possible exhalation which is called «peak flow» (referred to in medical

terms as PEF - Peak Expiratory Flow).

Regular monitoring of your peak flow is extremely useful for controlling diseases

of the airways such as asthma or chronic bronchitis. After the peak flow result is

shown, a further value (for FEV1) will then be indicated. This value is also of interest

for your doctor.

The measurements can be performed on your own, because the Microlife Monitor

is very simple to use. It is as suitable for children in the pre-school age as for the

elderly.

Because the device has an automatic memory of 240 data entries, you do not need

to note the values down; simply take the device with you the next time you visit

your doctor. The device can be connected to a computer, and the values can be

analysed by using the Microlife Asthma analyser software program.

Read through this instruction manual carefully before using the device and then

keep it in a safe place.

PF 100 6

Please note:

• If you hold down the arrow key for more than 2 seconds it speeds up.

• Date /time can also be set easily from computer when you run the Microlife

Asthma Analyser Software.

4. Carrying out a Measurement

• When different people use this meter their individual readings cannot be

assigned to different users when the data is stored.

• If time/date is not set, measurements can not be performed.

• If another person intends to use the device permanently, all data from the

previous user should be erased as explained in this manual.

• In case another user has already used the monitor, we recommend

disinfecting the measuring tube as explained in this manual. In this case we

also recommend that each user uses a new mouthpiece. Extra mouthpieces

can be ordered through your Microlife dealer.

1. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the monitor

on. At first, the last result of the memory is

shown («0» if there are not yet data) and then

the device indicates «READY» for a measure-

ment by two short beeps and blinking arrows.

2. You can perform the measurement while

standing or sitting upright. For better compa-

rison of your data you should always perform

the measurement in a similar position.

3. Hold the monitor with both hands on the two

rubber areas (compartments).

4. Inhale completely and hold your breath for a

moment.

5. Cover the mouthpiece tightly with your lips.

6. Blow into the measuring tube as hard and as

fast as you can.

7

7. A long beep confirms that the result

is recorded. The peak flow value

is displayed for about 3 seconds,

then the FEV1 is shown. Afterwards

the monitor is ready for a new

measurement which is indicated by

two short beeps.

8. It is recommended to perform

three or more measurements

sequentially. Please note that the monitor only

saves the highest reading from switching the

device on until switching it off.

9. After each measurement, at first the actual

reading is shown in the display and then it

switches automatically to the highest reading

of your current measurement session.

10. Press the ON/OFF button to switch the

monitor off. Before the monitor switches off,

the highest value and its related memory

position «MR xx» is displayed.

11. Store the monitor in a clean and dust free place.

Traffic light indicator on the device

After the measurement, a small arrow in the display will

indicate if the reading is in the green, yellow or red range.

500 l/min is defined as reference value.

If a reading is above 80% (> 400 l/min) of the reference value, it will be indicated

in the green range. A reading in the yellow range indicates a reading between 60%

and 80% (300 l/min - 400 l/min) of the reference value. A reading in the red range

indicates a reading below 60% (< 300 l/min) of the reference value.

It would be best to determine the area limits together with your physician and when

required these ranges can be set manually within the software.

5. Important Information for Measurement and Control

of your Peak Flow Values

•

It is necessary to keep regular control of your peak flow values. Doctors generally

recommend taking one measurement in the morning and one in the evening, every

PF 100 8

day, normally before inhaling your prescribed medication. Carry out additional

measurements whenever you feel unwell or perceive shortness of breath.

• Your doctor is only interested in the highest peak flow value that you can

achieve during a measurement session. Please repeat the measurements until

you feel you have got the best possible result for the moment. Take care to

have sufficient relaxation between measurements. In case of poorer results at

each successive measurement session talk to your doctor. It may be a sign of

instable asthma.

• Please note that asthma attacks are indicated in advance by low peak

flow values before you feel it! Please contact your doctor in cases such

as these. Also do so if you have signs and symptoms such as chest

tightness, shortness of breath coughing or wheezing.

• Self-measurement means control, not diagnosis or treatment. In any

event, please be sure to discuss your measured values with your doctor.

Your doctor will also explain which values are normal for you.

• You should never alter the dosages of any medication without talking to your

doctor.

• Please note that the device stores up to 240 measured values with date and time.

When the memory is full, the oldest values are automatically erased!

Make sure you visit your doctor in time to analyse your data.

• Please confirm that date and time settings are always actual.

• The performance of the monitor can be affected by extremes of temperature

and humidity. Please refer to «technical specifications» for details.

6. Self-Assessment with the Traffic Light Scheme

The so-called «traffic light scheme» allows you to self-assess your measured

values and the course of your illness. This leads to an independent assessment of

your illness symptoms with adjustment of your medication. If you or your physician

wish to make use of this scheme, an asthma control card is enclosed with the

device, on which a green, a yellow, and a red area are marked. The area limits

should best be determined together with your physician and entered into the card.

9

Significance of the Traffic Light Scheme

Green area - OK

The lung disease is well under control. A higher medication dosage is not required.

Yellow area - Caution

Should your measured values frequently be located in this area, increase your

medication dosage as discussed with your physician.

Red area - Danger

It is dangerous if your measured values are in this area! Act as discussed with your

physician or seek emergency medical treatment.

7. Cleaning and Disinfecting

7.1. Cleaning / Disinfecting the Mouthpiece

We recommend disinfecting the mouthpiece

before your first use and at least once a week

using the following procedure:

1. Disconnect the mouthpiece from the

measuring tube and put it for at least

10 minutes into continuously boiling water.

2. Afterwards, put the mouthpiece on a fresh

paper towel and let it air dry.

3. Reassemble the mouthpiece on the

measuring tube.

• Alternatively, you can disinfect the mouthpiece by putting it into commonly

available disinfecting solutions. Please carefully follow the instructions for the

disinfecting solution! Make sure that it is suitable for a mouthpiece.

7.2. Cleaning / Disinfecting the Measuring Tube

• The performance of the monitor can be affected

by spitting or coughing into the measuring tube.

In this case please rinse the tube with distilled

water (available at a pharmacy or drugstore).

Please do not use tapwater.

PF 100 10

1. Disconnect the measuring tube from the main

unit by moving it in a forward direction.

2. Disconnect the mouthpiece from the

measuring tube.

3. Rinse the tube in distilled water, afterwards

please shake off the water and put it on a

fresh paper towel for complete drying.

• In case another user has already used

the monitor the measuring tube should be

disinfected:

1. Disconnect the tube as explained above and

put it into a commonly available disinfecting

solution. Please carefully follow the

instructions for the disinfecting solution!

2. Never put the measuring tube into boiling

water!

3. Reconnect the mouthpiece to the measuring

tube and reassemble it back to the main unit as

shown. Make sure that the tube finally

«clicks» into the fixed position.

4. Please make sure that the mea-

surement tube and the device stay

together by confirming that the

identification on tube and device is

the same.

7.3. Cleaning the Main Unit

Clean the main unit once a day with a clean,

8. Memory Handling

The 240 measuring data can be reviewed on the display:

1. Switch the monitor on and press the memory

scroll buttons.

2. By pressing the «<» button, you can see the

latest value stored in the memory with date and

time; pressing this button once at a time shows

all stored data. If you keep pressing the button

you can move quickly through the memory.

3. The «>» button works in the opposite direction.

• Memory Capacity Low

When the memory covers 230 or more

data, «MR XX» is blinks after the monitor is

switched on to indicate that the remaining

memory capacity is low.

• Memory Full

When the memory is full with 240 data,

the monitor gives a warning «beep»

when switching on and «MR 240»

is blinks. From now on, data is still

memorised but the oldest values are

automatically erased!

• Memory Clear

Please note: the memory is automatically

cleared after data transfer to computer.

Clearing all data from the memory manually should be done when you intend

to give the monitor to another person. To clear all data press the «<» and the

«>» buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds, and then release the buttons. «clr»

starts blinking in the display for about 3 seconds. If you really want to erase all

data from memory you need to press the ON/OFF button during these seconds.

Otherwise the monitor moves back to normal operation and the data remains.

• Clear the last measurement

You can erase the last memory reading by pressing both memory scroll

buttons simultaneously for 5 seconds. After releasing the buttons «clr» will

flash on the screen for 3 seconds. To erase the last reading you need to press

both buttons again while the screen is flashing.

1. Introduction

Votre nouveau moniteur Microlife est un appareil médical de haute qualité pour la

mesure de votre expiration maximum, dénommée «débit de pointe» (en termes

médicaux «DEP» - Débit expiratoire de pointe).

Surtout dans les maladies des bronches, telles que l’asthme ou la bronchite chronique,

une surveillance régulière de votre débit de pointe est très utile pour le contrôle des

troubles. Après l’indication du débit de pointe, une autre valeur (volume expiré forcé -

FEV1) s’affiche. Cette valeur est également intéressante pour votre médecin.

Vous pouvez effectuer les mesures vous-même, car le moniteur Microlife est très facile

à utiliser. Il convient aussi bien aux enfants en phase pré-scolaire qu’aux personnes

âgées.

Comme l’appareil a une mémoire automatique de jusqu’à 240 entrées, vous n’avez

pas besoin de noter les valeurs: emportez tout simplement l’appareil chez le

médecin lors de la prochaine visite. L’appareil peut être connecté à un ordinateur,

et les valeurs peuvent être analysées à l’aide du logiciel Microlife Asthma Analyser

(Analyse d’asthme Microlife).

Lisez ce manuel attentivement avant d’utiliser l’appareil et conservez-le dans un

endroit sûr.
