Intended Use
The Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP O3 (BP3MZ1-1) 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 can be used in connection with your personal computer (PC) running the WatchBP 03 software .The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the monitor with the PC via USB cable.
Device Description
Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP 03 (BP3MZ1-1) is designed to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate of an individual by using a non-invasive technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the upper arm. Our method to define systolic and diastolic pressure is similar to the auscuitatory method but uses an electronic 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 has << AMBULATORY >>. << HOME >> and << CASUAL >> measurement modes and has a medication record function. In addition, the device can be used in connection with your personal computer (PC) running the WatchBP O3 software. The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the monitor with the PC via USB cable.
More Information

No
The description focuses on the oscillometric method and standard blood pressure measurement techniques, with no mention of AI or ML.

No.
The device measures blood pressure and pulse rate, which is a diagnostic function, not a therapeutic intervention.

Yes

The device measures physiological parameters (blood pressure and pulse rate) and can be used in a clinical setting (physician's office) to provide information that can aid in diagnosis, even though it doesn't directly diagnose a disease.

No

The device description clearly states it is a "Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor" which is a physical device with an inflatable cuff and electronic pressure sensor. While it includes software for data transfer and analysis, it is not solely software.

Based on the provided text, 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 description clearly states that this device measures blood pressure and pulse rate using a non-invasive technique involving a cuff wrapped around the upper arm. This is a physical measurement taken directly from the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Lack of mention of samples: There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any biological samples.

Therefore, the Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP O3 (BP3MZ1-1) is a medical device, but it falls under the category of a non-invasive physiological monitoring device, not an in vitro diagnostic device.

The > mode is selected for patient home blood pressure measurement. The patient should carry out two sets of measurements on 7 consecutive working days (or normal week days). Then the patient returns to the physician's office with the subiect device for an evaluation of their home blood pressure measurement data.

The > mode is selected to function like a regular blood pressure monitor - single measurements are automatically stored and can be reviewed by the physician at a later date.

5. Intended Use:

The Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP O3 (BP3MZ1-1) 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 can be used in connection with your personal computer (PC) running the WatchBP 03 software .The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the monitor with the PC via USB cable.

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

The modified device model WatchBP O3 (BP3MZ1-1) 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 is inflated automatically, deflation rate is controlled by one factory set exhaust valve and the deflation pressures are transferred via tubing to one sensor.

The major differences between the two models are the additional features such as an AMBULATORY measurement mode and medication record function. However. the differences do not affect the accuracy and normal use of this device.

AMBULATORY measurement mode is similar with what is used in predicate device Welch Allyn ABPM 6100, with 510(k) cleared number K021756.

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 WatchBP 03 (BP3MZ1-1) 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.

The following testing was conducted:

  • a. Reliability Test Storage test
  • b. Reliability Test Operating test
  • C. Reliability Test - Vibration test
  • d. Reliability Test Drop test
  • Reliability Test Life test e.
  • ﮩﺖ EMC Test
  • g. IEC 60601-1 Safety Test

None of the testing demonstrated any design characteristics that violated the requirements of the Reviewer Guidance or resulted in any safety hazards. It was our conclusion that Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor. Model WatchBP O3 (BP3MZ1-1) tested met all relevant requirements of the aforementioned tests.

8. Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed:

ANSI/AAMI SP10: 2002 "National Standard for Manual, Electronic or Automated Sphygmomanometers" testing was performed. All relevant sections were addressed and testing conducted. The WatchBP O3 (BP3MZ1-1) met all relevant requirements of this standard, as applicable to our modified device.

The WatchBP O3 (BP3MZ1-1) is, from a technical point of view, identical to the predicate device, Model WatchBP Home (BP3MX1-1). Moreover, the measurement algorithm and its program codes of the WatchBP O3 (BP3MZ1-1) remain unchanged. The fundamental scientific technology of the modified WatchBP O3 (BP3MZ1-1) device is the same as the predicate WatchBP Home (BP3MX1-1) device. Therefore the performance of the WatchBP O3 (BP3MZ1-1) in terms of blood pressure measurement would be identical with performance of the predicate WatchBP Home (BP3MX1-1) device. Repeat clinical testing in accordance with the standard ANSI/AAMI SP10 for the subject WatchBP O3 (BP3MZ1-1) device is therefore not necessary as clinical testing results were not affected by the changes to the subject modified device.

ഗ് Software information:

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". In addition, since our device requires the use of off-the-shelf software to operate the PC-link function, we adhered to the FDA September 1999 document "Guidance for Off-The-Shelf Software Use in Medical Devices".

10. Conclusions:

We have demonstrated that there are no significant differences between the Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor Model WatchBP O3 (BP3MZ1-1) and the predicate devices, Model WatchBP Home (BP3MX1-1) and the Welch Allyn ABPN (6100), in terms of safety and effectiveness based on electrical. mechanical and environmental test results per the FDA DCRND November 1993
