Intended Use
The Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3NF 1-2B is a device intended to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulserate of an adult individual by using a non-invasive oscillometric technique in which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the single upper arm. The device detects the appearance of irregular heartbeat during measurement, and gives a warning signal with the reading once the irregular heartbeat is detected. The device can be used in connection with your personal computer (PC) running the Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer (BPA) software. The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the monitor via cable. The device can also be used in connection with smart phone running the APP. The memory data can be transferred to the smart phone via Bluetooth.
Device Description
Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3NF1-2B is designed to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate of an individual by using a non-invasive technique in which one inflatable cuff is wrapped around the single upper arm. Our method to define systolic and diastolic pressure is similar to the auscultatory method but use two resistive 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, which is a well - known technique in the market called the "oscillometric method". The device detects the appearance of irregular heartbeat during measurement, and the symbol " " is displayed with the reading. The device can be used in connection with your personal computer (PC) running the software. The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the monitor with the PC via cable. The device can also be used in connection with smart phone running the APP. The memory data can be transferred to the smart phone via Bluetooth.
More Information

No
The document describes a standard oscillometric blood pressure monitor with irregular heartbeat detection and data transfer capabilities. There is no mention of AI, ML, or any advanced algorithms that would suggest their use. The performance studies rely on equivalence to a predicate device using the same algorithm, which is described as a "well-known technique" (oscillometric method).

No
The device is described as a monitor that measures blood pressure and heart rate; it does not mention any therapeutic function.

Yes
The device is intended to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate, and it also detects the appearance of irregular heartbeat, which are all diagnostic functions.

No

The device description clearly states it is a physical blood pressure monitor that uses an inflatable cuff and pressure sensors to measure blood pressure, 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 medical devices used to perform tests on samples taken from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to detect diseases, conditions, or infections. These tests are performed outside of the body.
  • Device Function: The Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3NF 1-2B, measures blood pressure and pulse rate using a non-invasive technique (oscillometric method) by wrapping a cuff around the upper arm. This is a measurement taken on the body, not a test performed on a sample taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use clearly states it's for measuring blood pressure and pulse rate of an adult individual using a non-invasive technique.
  • Device Description: The description reinforces the non-invasive nature of the measurement.

Therefore, this device falls under the category of a non-invasive medical device for physiological measurement, not an In Vitro Diagnostic.

      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 BP3NF1-2B tested met all relevant requirements of the aforementioned tests.

Clinical Tests:
Clinical Validation Concerning the Compliance of ANSI/AAMI ISO 81060-2: The subject device Model BP3NF1-2B is from the technical point of view. identical to the predicate blood pressure monitor BP3MC1-PC. Moreover, the measurement algorithm and its program codes of BP3MC1-PC remain unchanged. The fundamental scientific technology of the modified BP3NF1-2B device is the same as the predicate device BP3MC1-PC. Therefore the performance of the BP3NF1-2B in terms of blood pressure measurement would be identical with performance of the predicate device BP3MC1-PC. Repeat clinical testing in accordance with the standard ANSI/AAMI IEC81060-2 for the subject device BP3NF1-2B is therefore not necessary as clinical testing results were not affected by the changes to the subject modified device.

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

The modified device model BP3NF1-2B and the predicate device model BP3MC1-PC 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.

They differ by Bluetooth function. The subject device BP3NF1-2B is added the function of transferring the memory data to the smart phone via Bluetooth. However, this function is only a way to transfer the data and will not affect the clinical accuracy.

Although the cuff used with the subject BP3NF1-2B is changed to WRR conical cuff, it is the same with the one cleared in BP3AP1-3E, which was cleared in K111652.

The modified device model BP3NF1-2B uses the same oscillometric method as the predicate device WatchBP Office (Twin200). The have the function of transferring

the memory data via Bluetooth. Based upon the aforementioned information, the two devices are substantially equivalent.

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 BP3NF1-2B 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 to prove safety and effectiveness as well as substantial equivalence to the predicate devices:

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 BP3NF1-2B tested met all relevant requirements of the aforementioned tests.

8. Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed:

Clinical Validation Concerning the Compliance of ANSI/AAMI ISO 81060-2: The subject device Model BP3NF1-2B is from the technical point of view. identical to the predicate blood pressure monitor BP3MC1-PC. Moreover, the measurement algorithm and its program codes of BP3MC1-PC remain unchanged. The fundamental scientific technology of the modified BP3NF1-2B device is the same as the predicate device BP3MC1-PC. Therefore the performance of the BP3NF1-2B in terms of blood pressure measurement would be identical with performance of the predicate device BP3MC1-PC. Repeat clinical testing in accordance with the standard ANSI/AAMI IEC81060-2 for the subject device BP3NF1-2B is therefore not necessary as clinical testing results were not affected by the changes to the subject modified device.

9. 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 PClink function, we adhered to the FDA September 1999 document "Guidance for Off-The-Shelf Software Use in Medical Devices".

10. Conclusions:

Conclusions drawn from the non-clinical and clinical tests demonstrate that the subject device is as safe, effective, and performs as well as the predicate device.
