Intended Use
The Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Dizital Blood Pressure Monitor. Model BP3MW1-4B is a device intended to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate of an adult individual by using a non-invasive oscillometric technique in one 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. This device can accurately measure blood pressure in pregnant patients including those with known or suspected preeclampsia. The memory data can be transferred to the PC (personal computer) running the Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer (BPA) software by connecting the monitor via cable. The device can also be used in connection with smart mobile devices running the APP and via Bluetooth. The blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic digital blood pressure measuring device for use by adults on the upper arm at home.
Device Description
Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3MW 1-4B 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". This device can accurately measure blood pressure in pregnant patients including those with known or suspected preeclampsia. The device detects the appearance of irreqular heartbeat during measurement. and the symbol " memory data can be transferred to the PC (personal computer) running the Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer (BPA) software by connecting the monitor via cable.

More Information

No
The document describes a standard oscillometric blood pressure monitor and does not mention AI or ML in its description, intended use, or performance studies. The technology described is based on analyzing electrical signals from pressure sensors, which is a well-established, non-AI/ML technique.

No
The device is intended to measure blood pressure and pulse rate, and detect irregular heartbeats, but it does not provide treatment or therapy.

Yes
The device is described as "intended to measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate" and "detects the appearance of irregular heartbeat during measurement". Monitoring blood pressure and detecting irregular heartbeats are diagnostic functions.

No

The device is described as a "Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor" and utilizes physical components like an inflatable cuff and pressure sensors to measure blood pressure. While it includes software for data transfer and analysis, it is fundamentally a hardware device with integrated 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 such as blood, urine, or tissue that have been taken from the human body to detect diseases or other conditions.
  • Device Function: The description clearly states that this device measures blood pressure and pulse rate using a non-invasive oscillometric technique on the upper arm. It does not analyze samples taken from the body.
  • Intended Use: The intended use is for measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in adults at home. This is a physiological measurement, not an in vitro diagnostic test.

Therefore, the Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3MW1-4B, is a medical device for physiological measurement, not an IVD.

The patient's level of blood pressure is determined in the circulatory center of the brain and adjusts to a variety of situations through feedback from the nervous system. To adjust blood pressure, the strength and frequency of the heart (pulse), as well as the width of circulatory blood vessels is altered. Blood vessel width is affected by fine muscles in he blood vessel walls.

The patient's level of arterial blood pressure changes periodically during heart activity. During the "blood ejection" (Systole), the value is highest (systolic blood pressure value). At the end of the heart's "rest period" (Diastole), pressure is lowest (diastolic blood pressure value).Blood pressure values must lie within certain normal ranges in order to prevent particular diseases.
