Device Description
Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP Home A BT (BP3MX1-3C) is designed to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of an adult individual with arm circumference sizes ranging from 22 -42 cm 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 a resistive 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 > and > measurement modes. The > mode is selected for a regular single measurement. The > mode is selected for diagnosis or follow-up.
The device detects the appearance of atrial fibrillation during measurement and gives a warning signal with the reading once the atrial fibrillation is detected. If atrial fibrillation is detected during all readings of the triple measurements in usual mode or all four readings of one day in diagnostic mode, the Afib icon.
In addition, the memory data can be transferred to the PC (personal computer) running the WatchBP Analyzer Home 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.

6. Comparison to the 510(k) Cleared Device (Predicate Device):
Subject (Modified) Device Compared to Predicate Device WatchBP Home N (BP3MX1-4) (K100763):
Based on information from the Comparison Chart:
The subject WatchBP Home A BT (BP3MX1-3C) uses the same oscillometric method as the predicate device WatchBP Home N (BP3MX1-4) with the same algorithm to determine the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, Upper arm cuff is inflated automatically by pump, the deflation rate is controlled by factory set exhaust valve and the deflation pressures are transferred via tubing to a sensor in these two units. They both detect the appearance of atrial fibrillation during measurement and give a warning signal with the reading once the atrial fibrillation is detected.
The differences between the devices are:
-
- Measurement Mode
The subject device has two measurement modes (USUAL Mode, DIAG Mode) while the predicate device has three measurement modes (USUAL Mode, DIAG Mode,
- Measurement Mode
5
K200738
NOCTURNAL Mode). The USUAL Mode and DIAG Mode for both the subject device and predicate device are identical, the NOCTURNAL Mode is removed from the subject device. Therefore, the change will not affect the accuracy and efficacy of the use. And the change does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject device according to the safety and essential performance testing.
2) Microprocessor
The main clock of the microprocessor utilized by the subject device has higher frequency (18.432 MHz) compared with the microprocessor used by the predicate device (4 MHz). Due to the sampling rate of the devices are the same (43Hz), both the processors are capable of working well with the sampling rate and the changes will not affect the accuracy and efficacy of the devices in blood pressure measurement and atrial fibrillation detection. Therefore, the change of microprocessor does not affect the accuracy and efficacy of the use. And the change does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject device according to the safety and essential performance testing.
3) F/W reversion of Algorithm (base on the items of "Microprocessor")
For F/W reversion of algorithm, they are only different in U/I, including measurement modes, memories, medication record function and bluetooth connectivity which are not relative to clinical performance of the devices. The algorithm related specifications (#1, #2, #3, #4) are identical to the predicate device. Therefore, the change does not affect the accuracy and efficacy of the use. And the change does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject device according to the safety and essential performance testing.
The F/W revision is due to the need of different U/I design but not relative to the algorithm in blood pressure measurement and atrial fibrillation detection. U/I difference that needs F/W revision are addressed in other separated items, includes measurement modes, memories, medication record function and bluetooth connectivity.
4) Sensor
The subject device uses a resistive pressure sensor while the predicate device uses a capacitive pressure sensor. The capacitive pressure sensor used by the predicate device provides durability of 30k cycles blood pressure measurement while the resistive pressure sensor used by the subject device provides durability of 100k cycles blood pressure measurement. The difference is relative to the durability but not relative to the accuracy of blood pressure measurement and atrial fibrillation detection. Thus the difference does not affect the clinical performance of the subject device. And the change does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject device according to the safety and essential performance testing.
5) Memory Stored
The memory stored numbers under USUAL Mode and DIAG Mode for both the subject device and predicate device are identical. Due to the NOCTURNAL Mode and Medication Record Function is removed from the subject device, the Memory Stored feature of NOCTURNAL Mode and Medication Record Function is also
6
removed. Therefore, the change will not affect the accuracy and efficacy of the use. And the change does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject device according to the safety and essential performance testing.
6) Medication Record Function
The Medication Record Function is removed from the subject device. Therefore, the change will not affect the accuracy and efficacy of the use. And the change does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject device according to the safety and essential performance testing.
7) Blood Pressure Analyzer Software
The subject device and the predicate device both have Blood Pressure Analyzer Software, they are just different in the version of the Blood Pressure Analyzer Software. The change will not affect the accuracy and efficacy of the use. Therefore, the change does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject device according to the Verification and Validation Documentation of the Blood Pressure Analyzer Software.
8) Bluetooth Function
The Bluetooth Function is added to the subject device, it makes the device use Bluetooth (BT4.2) to connect with the smart mobile devices running the APP, but this function is only a way to transfer the data and will not affect the accuracy and efficacy of the use. Bluetooth is not active when the blood pressure monitor device is recording data. The blood pressure monitor device will not sound any alarm with or without Bluetooth. The Bluetooth is used only to transfer data form point A to point B. Therefore, the change does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject device according to the FCC Certification, Bluetooth RF Test Report, and Bluetooth RF Exposure Evaluation Report. The Bluetooth on the subject device is for transfer of records only. It cannot be used to start or stop the blood pressure device. Bluetooth cannot be used during blood pressure measurement. Please refer to our "Draft Instruction Manual for WatchBP Home A BT (BP3MX1-3C)". Bluetooth functionality can be classified as a medical device data system (MDDS).
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:

8. Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed:
From a clinical validation standpoint, the subject device is identical to the 510(k) cleared predicate device, WatchBP Home N (BP3MX1-4), K100763, in blood pressure measurement and atrial fibrillation detection.
Regarding clinical validation concerning the compliance of ANSI/AAMI/IEC 81060-2, the subject blood pressure monitor Model WatchBP Home A BT (BP3MX1-1C) is, from a technical point of view. identical to the predicate blood pressure monitor Model WatchBP Home N (BP3MX1-4).
8
The subject device WatchBP Home A BT (BP3MX1-1C) and the predicate device WatchBP Home N (BP3MX1-4) both intended to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressures, pulse rate for use in an adult individual with arm cuff circumference sizes ranging from 22 -42 cm. And they both detect the appearance of atrial fibrillation during measurement and give a warning signal with the reading once the atrial fibrillation is detected. The differences between the two models are addressed in the Comparison Chart. According to the information from the comparison chart, all the differences listed in the comparison chart do not affect the accuracy and normal use of this device because they use the same fundamental scientific technology. Therefore the performance of the WatchBP Home A BT (BP3MX1-3C) in terms of blood pressure measurement and atrial fibrillation detection would be essential equivalent with performance of the predicate device WatchBP Home N (BP3MX1-4). There was no repeated clinical testing required for blood pressure measurement and atrial fibrillation detection to support WatchBP Home A BT (BP3MX1-3C) as the subject device can leverage the clinical validation of WatchBP Home N (BP3MX1-4) that was proven in K100763.Repeat clinical testing in accordance with the standard AAMI / ANSI/IEC81060-2 for the subject device WatchBP Home A BT (BP3MX1-3C) reqarding blood pressure measurement and atrial fibrillation detection for use in adults is therefore not warranted.
