Yes
The summary explicitly mentions the "AfibAlert™ algorithm" and describes its clinical validation using a database and clinical trials, including metrics like sensitivity and specificity, which are common performance indicators for algorithms, including those based on AI/ML, particularly in pattern recognition tasks like detecting atrial fibrillation. The reference to a predicate device with the name "AfibAlbert™" further suggests an algorithmic component for AF detection.
No.
The device is intended to measure blood pressure and detect atrial fibrillation, providing measurements and warning signals rather than directly treating a condition.
Yes
The device detects the appearance of atrial fibrillation during measurement and provides a warning signal, which indicates a diagnostic function for a specific medical condition.
No
The device description explicitly states it is an "Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor" that uses an "inflatable cuff" and an "electronic capacitive pressure sensor," indicating it includes hardware components beyond just software.
No, this device is not an IVD (In Vitro Diagnostic).
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostics are tests performed on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections.
- Device Function: The Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3MQ1-2D, measures blood pressure and pulse rate using a non-invasive method (oscillometric technique with a cuff on the upper arm). It also detects atrial fibrillation based on the pulse pattern.
- No Sample Analysis: The device does not analyze any biological samples taken from the body. It directly interacts with the body externally to obtain measurements.
Therefore, based on the provided information, the device falls under the category of a non-invasive medical device rather than an In Vitro Diagnostic.
No
The letter does not explicitly state that the FDA has reviewed and approved or cleared a PCCP for this specific device.

Device Description
Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3MQ1-2D is designed to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of an individual by using a non-invasive MAM (Microlife Average Mode) technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the upper arm. Our method to define systolic and diastolic pressure is similar to the auscultatory method but uses an electronic capacitive pressure sensor rather than a stethoscope and mercury manometer. The sensor converts tiny alterations in cuff pressure to electrical signals, by analyzing those signals to define the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and calculating pulse rate, which is a well - known technique in the market called the "oscillometric method".
The device detects the appearance of atrial fibrillation during measurement and the atrial fibrillation symbol "~ " is displayed on the LCD screen if any atrial fibrillation signal has been detected.

4. Device Description:
Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3MQ1-2D is designed to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of an individual by using a non-invasive MAM (Microlife Average Mode) technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the upper arm. Our method to define systolic and diastolic pressure is similar to the auscultatory method but uses an electronic capacitive pressure sensor rather than a stethoscope and mercury manometer.

5. Intended Use:
The Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3MQ1-2D is a device intended to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of an adult individual by using a non-invasive oscillometric technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the upper arm.
The device detects the appearance of atrial fibrillation during measurement and gives a warning signal with the reading once the atrial fibrillation is detected.
6. Comparison to the 510(k) Cleared Device (Predicate Device):
The modified device model BP3MQ1-2D and the predicate device model BP3BT0-1 use the well-known oscillometric method within the software algorithm to determine the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate. An upper arm cuff is inflated automatically, deflate rate is controlled by a factory set bleed valve and the deflation pressures are transferred via tubing to a sensor.
The solely differences between the two models are the additional features such as atrial fibrillation detection function. However, the difference does not affect the accuracy and normal use of this device.
Atrial fibrillation detection function of BP3MQ1-2D is similar with what is used in predicate device AfibAlbert™, with 510(k) cleared number K#052767. The input data from the blood pressure signals (data) from BP3MQ1-2D will produce a substantially equivalent outcome as the predicate AfibAlert™ getting the input data from an ECG signal (data). They are processed by an algorithm and both output atrial fibrillation diagnositic information.
7. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows:
Testing information demonstrating safety and effectiveness of the Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3MQ1-2D in the intended environment of use is supported by testing that was conducted in accordance with the FDA November 1993 Draft "Reviewer Guidance for Premarket Notification Submissions", DCRND, which outlines Electrical, Mechanical and Environmental Performance requirements.

our conclusion that Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3MQ1-2D tested met all relevant requirements of the aforementioned tests.
8. Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed:
For clinical validation the atrial fibrillation function, AfibAlert™ algorithm was tested using published available annotated MIT-BIH AFIB database, which showed a 92% sensitivity value and a 96% specificity value.
The BP3MQ1-2D was tested in two clinical trials which compared the atrial fibrillation (AF) readings from the BP3MQ1-2D to the rhythm determined by an electrocardiogram(ECG). The studies, Trial of Regular versus Irregular Pulse to Prevent Stroke (TRIPPS) 1.0 and 1.1, enrolled 205 and 157 subjects, respectively. All subjects in TRIPPS 1.0 and all, but one subject, in TRIPPS 1.1 had three atrial fibrillation readings performed with the BP3MQ1-2D. The results comparing the BP3MQ1-2D readings to the ECG readings read in a blinded fashion are shown in the table 1. The BP3MQ1-2D detected atrial fibrillation with a sensitivity ranging from 93% to 98% and a specificity ranging from 82-88%.
| BP3MQ1-2D reading | ECG reading | Sensitivity | Specificity | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AF | Non-AF | |||
| TRIPPS 1.0 | 98.1% | 88.2% | ||
| AF | 156 | 54 | (96-99%) | (85-91%) |
| Non-AF | 3 | 402 | ||
| TRIPPS 1.1 | 92.9% | 81.7% | ||
| AF | 92 | 68 | (88-98%) | (78-86%) |
| Non-AF | 7 | 303 | ||
| Combined | 96.1% | 85.2% | ||
| AF | 248 | 122 | (94-98%) | (83-88%) |
| Non-AF | 10 | 705 |
Table 1. Results for individual readings by the device compared to ECG. The last two columns show the sensitivity and specificity and the 95% confidence intervals in parentheses.
In a second analysis of these results, the three sequential readings done in each subject were used to determine a single final reading based on which reading was most frequent. Thus if two or all three of the readings for a given patient showed atrial fibrillation then the combined final reading was atrial fibrillation. If none or only one of the three readings showed atrial fibrillation then the combined final reading
PAGE 3 OF 4

was not atrial fibrillation. The results of this analysis is shown in the table 2. Using the combined three sequential readings, the BP3MQ1-2D detected atrial fibrillation with a sensitivity ranging from 94% to 100% and a specificity ranging from 85-90%.
| BP3MQ1-2D reading | ECG reading | Sensitivity | Specificity | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| AF | Non-AF | |||
| TRIPPS 1.0 | 100.0% | 89.5% | ||
| AF | 53 | 16 | (92-100%) | (83-94%) |
| Non-AF | 0 | 136 | ||
| TRIPPS 1.1 | 93.9% | 85.4% | ||
| AF | 31 | 18 | (78-99%) | (78-91%) |
| Non-AF | 2 | 106 | ||
| Combined | 97.7% | 87.7% | ||
| AF | 84 | 34 | (91-100%) | (83-91%) |
| Non-AF | 2 | 242 |
Table 2. Results for the three sequential readings combined compared to the ECG. The last two columns show the sensitivity and specificity and the 95% confidence intervals in parentheses.
Based upon the aforementioned information, the requirement to develop an atrial fibrillation detection module for the BP3MQ1-2D to detect atrial fibrillation that is added to the existing firmware included in the BP3BT0-1 has been met.
Software information: a.
Software validation was conducted in accordance with a moderate level of concern designation in accordance with the FDA November 2005 document, "Guidance for the Content of Premarket Submissions for Software Contained in Medical Devices".
10. Conclusions:
It has been demonstrated that there is no difference between the Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor Model BP3MQ1-2D and the predicate model BP3BT0-1 in terms of safety and effectiveness based on electrical, mechanical and environmental test results, the FDA DCRND November 1993 Draft "Reviewer Guidance for Premarket Notification Submissions", and the ANSI/AAMI Voluntary Standard, SP10: 2002 test results.
