I have a pacemaker – can I use a Microlife monitor to measure my blood pressure?
• Pacemakers stabilise heart frequency (pulse) of patients, so the heart pumps blood with corresponding systolic and diastolic blood pressure. If the pulse is provided or supported by pacemakers, blood pressure monitors are able to measure blood pressure reliably (within the accuracy limits indicated). • Blood pressure monitors can therefore be used by patients with pacemakers. The accuracy of the pacemaker should however be controlled by a doctor and not by the pulse indication on the blood pressure monitor. (Refer to the corresponding information in the instructions). If the user has any queries or concerns in regards to blood pressure, especially in relation to pacemakers, he/she should always consult a doctor.
