Intended Use
The Microlife Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP Office (Twin200) is a device intended to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, pulse pressure (PP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) of an adult individual by using a noninvasive oscillometric technique in which one (or two) inflatable cuff(s) is (are) wrapped around the single (or dual) upper arm(s). The device can be used in connection with your personal computer (PC) running the WatchBP Office software .The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the monitor with the PC via bluetooth.
Device Description
Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP Office (Twin200) is designed to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, pulse pressure (PP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) of an individual by using a non-invasive technique in which one (or two) inflatable cuff(s) is (are) wrapped around the single (or dual) upper arm(s). Our method to define systolic and diastolic pressure is similar to the auscultatory method but use two electronic pressure sensors rather than a stethoscope and mercury manometer. The sensors convert tiny alterations in cuff pressure to electrical signals, by analyzing those signals to define the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and calculating pulse rate, pulse pressure (PP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP), which is a well - known technique in the market called the "oscillometric method". The device has << AUSCULTATION>>, << 1st VISIT>> and << FOLLOW-UP>> measurement modes and has inflation pressure setting function, measurement intervals setting function etc. In additional, the device can be used in connection with your personal computer (PC) running the WatchBP Office software. The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the monitor with the PC via bluetooth.
More Information

Not Found

No
The description details a standard oscillometric blood pressure measurement technique and data transfer via Bluetooth, with no mention of AI or ML algorithms for data analysis or interpretation.

No
The device is intended to measure blood pressure and related parameters, not to treat a condition.

Yes

Explanation: The device measures various physiological parameters (systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, pulse pressure, and mean arterial pressure) which are used in the diagnosis of various conditions, such as hypertension. While it doesn't make a diagnosis itself, the measurements it provides are critical inputs for diagnostic decisions made by healthcare professionals.

No

The device description clearly states it is an "Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor" that uses inflatable cuffs and electronic pressure sensors, indicating it is a hardware device with accompanying software.

Based on the provided information, 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 Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP Office (Twin200) measures blood pressure and pulse rate non-invasively by using a cuff wrapped around the upper arm. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it measures blood pressure and pulse rate of an adult individual using a non-invasive technique.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a non-invasive medical device used for physiological measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

Device Description

Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP Office (Twin200) is designed to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, pulse pressure (PP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) of an individual by using a non-invasive technique in which one (or two) inflatable cuff(s) is (are) wrapped around the single (or dual) upper arm(s). Our method to define systolic and diastolic pressure is similar to the auscultatory method but use two electronic pressure sensors rather than a stethoscope and mercury manometer. The sensors convert tiny alterations in cuff pressure to electrical signals, by analyzing those signals to define the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and calculating pulse rate, pulse pressure (PP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP), which is a well - known technique in the market called the "oscillometric method".

The device has >, > and > measurement modes and has inflation pressure setting function, measurement intervals setting function etc. In additional, the device can be used in connection with your personal computer (PC) running the WatchBP Office software. The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the monitor with the PC via bluetooth.

The > mode is selected for blood pressure measurement of patients with arrhythmia, and, in need, to confirm if a patient is suitable for the oscillometric method using a digital blood pressure monitor. The subject device in this mode serves only as a pressure gauge. No oscillometric measurements will be taken and a mental note must be made of the systolic and diastolic values.

The > mode is selected to complete a fully-automated three consecutive measurements on both arms simultaneously, the result of these three measurements are averaged to produce the 18 visit blood pressure measurement. This mode is helpful to determine the preferred measurement arm and reveal other cardiovascular risks for a patient's first office visit.

The > mode is selected to complete a fully-automated three consecutive measurements on the preferred arm, the result of these three measurements are averaged to produce the follow-up visit blood pressure measurement.

5. Intended Use:

The Microlife Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP Office (Twin200) is a device intended to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, pulse pressure (PP) and mean arterial pressure (MAP) of an adult individual by using a non-invasive oscillometric technique in which one (or two) inflatable cuff(s) is (are) wrapped around the single (or dual) upper arm(s).

The device can be used in connection with your personal computer (PC) running the WatchBP Office software .The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the monitor with the PC via bluetooth.

6. Comparison to the 510(k) Cleared Device (Predicate Device):

The modified device model WatchBP Office (Twin200) and the predicate device model WatchBP Home (BP3MX1-1) use the well-known oscillometric method within the software algorithm to determine the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate. Upper arm cuff(s) is (are) inflated automatically, deflation rate is controlled by one (or two) factory set exhaust valve(s) and the defiation pressures are transferred via tubing to one (or two) sensor(s).

The solely differences between the two models are the additional features such as measuring location (single-arm or dual-arm), PP & MAP automatically calculation function. However, the differences do not affect the accuracy and normal use of this device.

Measuring on dual-arm and PP & MAP automatically calculation function are similar with what are used in predicate device VP-2000/1000, with 510(k) cleared number K013434.
