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. Alternatively,
the values can be printed out with the small Microlife Diagnostic Printer (optional
accessory).
Read through this instruction manual carefully before using the device and then
keep it in a safe place.

3.1. Inserting the Batteries
1. Please open the Battery Compartment from
underneath and insert the two batteries (1.5V,
size AAA).
2. Please watch the polarity as indicated by the
symbols in the compartment.
3.2. Setting Date and Time
The monitor automatically records the time and
date of each measurement. After new batteries
have been inserted, the time/date display shows
the following setting: year: 2002; day 01, month 01
and time 00:00 o’clock.
You must then re-enter the date and current time.
To do this, proceed as follows (Example: Entering
15th June 2002, 09:50 o’clock):
1. Please open the Data Compartment from
underneath at the position of the data symbol
indication.
2. Press the small time switch next to the clock
symbol with a pen and «2002» starts blinking;
release the switch.
3. Using the two arrow keys on the front of
the monitor you can decrease (left arrow button)
or increase (right arrow button) the number.
Release the arrow button when the correct
number is reached.

4. Press the time switch again to confirm the
year setting and move to the month setting.
The month digits blink.
5. The current month can now be entered by
pressing the arrow button. (Example: pressing
5 times the right arrow button advances to 06
for June)
6. Press the time switch again to confirm the
month setting and move to the day setting.
The day digits blink.
7. The current day can now be entered by
pressing the arrow button. (Example: pressing
14 times the right arrow button advances to
15 for 15th June)
8. Press the time switch again to confirm the
day setting and move to the hour setting. The
hour digits blink.
9. The current hour can now be entered by the
arrow button. (Example: pressing 9 times the
right arrow button moves to 09 for 09 o’clock)
10. Press the time switch again to confirm the
hour setting and move to the minute setting.
The minute digits will now blink.
11. The current minutes can now be entered by
pressing the arrow button. (Example: pressing
9 times on the left arrow button moves to 50
for 09:50 o’clock).
12. Press the time switch again to confirm all
settings. Date and time are now stored, the
clock starts running and the monitor switches
to «ready» state condition which enable your
first measurement.
13. Close the data compartment.

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 FEV1is 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 values
•It is necessary to keep regular control of your peak flow values. Doctors generally
8
recommend taking one measurement in the morning and one in the evening, every
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.
