Device Description
Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP O3 (BP3SZ1-1) is designed to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, and mean arterial pressure (MAP) of the adults and pediatrics (but not neonates) populations with arm circumference sizes ranging from 14 -52 cm by using a noninvasive 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 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, mean arterial pressure (MAP), central systolic blood pressure (cSBP), central pulse pressure (cPP) and central diastolic pressure (cDBP) which is a well - known technique in the market called the "oscillometric method".
The device is a 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) .It's selected for fully programmable 24-hour patient out-of-office blood pressure measurement, the device automatically takes measurements at fixed intervals programmed by the physician.
The device can accurately measure blood pressure in pregnant patients including those with known or suspected pre-eclampsia.
The device detects the appearance of atrial fibrillation during measurement and the atrial fibrillation symbol "is displayed on the LCD screen if any atrial fibrillation signal has been detected.

ર. Comparison to the 510(k) Cleared Device (Predicate Device):
Subject (Modified) Device Compared to Primary Predicate WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B) (K200297):
Based on information from the Comparison Chart (VOL 5, 001): The subject device WatchBP O3 (BP3SZ1-1) uses the same deflationary oscillometric method as the predicate device WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B) with the same software algorithm to determine the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP),central systolic blood pressure (cSBP) and central diastolic pressure (cDBP), central pulse pressure (cPP) and Atrial Fibrillation Detection. Upper arm cuff is inflated automatically by pump, the deflation rate is controlled by electronic linear valve and the deflation pressures are transferred via tubing to a sensor in these two units. They are both intended for use in pregnant patients including those with known or suspected pre-eclampsia, adults and pediatrics (but not neonates) with arm cuff circumference sizes ranging from 14 -52 cm.
The differences between the devices are:
1) Indications for Use
The only difference is that the subject device is a 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM). It's selected for fully programmable 24-hour patient outof-office blood pressure measurement, the device automatically takes measurements at fixed intervals programmed by the healthcare providers. The ABPM function is similar with what is used in the reference predicate device WatchBP 03 (BP3MZ1-1), with 510(k) cleared number K082881.Although the description of the intended use environment is also different, it is based on the ABPM function, the subject device is intended to be used by healthcare professionals and patients in clinical and patient's environments which means the patient is given the device to take home (or any other places where the patient may
6
appear) with them for 24 hours ABPM functionality, and the intended use environment is identical with the reference predicate device WatchBP O3 (BP3MZ1-1), thus the change does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject device according to the safety and essential performance testing. And the clinical validation reports of the subject device following ISO 81060-2: 2018 for use in general population across a wide range of arm sizes (VOL 10, 002) and intended for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (VOL 10, 003) demonstrates the accuracy of the blood pressure measurement and for use on ambulatory monitoring. Therefore the changes do not affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject device.
2) Firmware: U/I related
Due to the difference of the U/I design purpose, the subject device is a non-invasive 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) without different measurement mode while the predicate device has two measurement modes (MANUAL Mode, AUTO Mode), the subject device can be programmed for taking 24 hours ambulatory measurement with selectable intervals while the predicate device allows only 1-6 consecutive measurements, the subject device has the Medication Record Function while the predicate device has not the function. And, with the different U/I design purpose, the subject device has 330 memories including measurements, medication records, errors and start/ stop events while the predicate device has memories of 1-6 measurements.
All these U/I relative changes do not cause any new or significantly modified risks according to the Risk Management File and it does not affect the clinical performance of the subject device. Therefore, the change does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject device according to the safety and essential performance testing.
3) Power Source
The subject device is powered by four dry batteries (size AAA, 1.5V) while the predicate device is powered by a rechargeable battery pack (4.8V, 2400mAh), they only differ in the battery type. 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.
4) Accessories
The only difference is that the subject device has an extra carrying pouch used for helping the patient to carry the device for ambulatory blood pressure measurement. The difference in the accessories will not affect the accuracy and efficacy of the use nor the safety or effectiveness of the subject device.
7
Based upon the aforementioned information, the two devices are substantially equivalent.
Subject (Modified) Device Compared to Reference Predicate WatchBP 03 (BP3MZ1-1) (K082881):
Based on information from the Comparison Chart (VOL 5, 001): The subject WatchBP 03 (BP3SZ1-1) uses the same oscillometric method as the predicate WatchBP 03 (BP3MZ1-1) with the same software 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 are both the 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM) which is selected for fully programmable 24-hour patient out-of-office blood pressure measurement, the device automatically takes measurements at fixed intervals programmed by the healthcare providers. Therefore, the two devices are substantially equivalent regarding the ABPM function.
The differences between the subject modified device and the reference WatchBP O3 (BP3MZ1-1) (K082881) device are Indications for Use Statement, Microprocessor, Firmware: Algorithm related, Firmware: U/I related, Atrial Fibrillation Detection Function, Measuring Range, Blood Pressure Analyzer Software, Bluetooth Function, MAP Automatically Calculation Function, CBP&CPP (Central Blood Pressure& Central Pulse Pressure) Measurement Function, Validated in preeclampsia, Cuffs and Accessories, however, the aforementioned differences do not cause any new or significantly modified risks according to the Risk Management File and it does not affect the clinical performance of the subject device. Therefore, the changes does not affect the safety or effectiveness of the subject device according to the safety and essential performance testing.
Based upon the aforementioned information and the supporting documentation the two devices are substantially equivalent.
7. Discussion of Non-Clinical Tests Performed for Determination of Substantial Equivalence are as follows:

It was our conclusion that Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP 03 (BP3SZ1-1) tested met all relevant requirements of the aforementioned tests.
9
Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed: 8.
From a clinical validation standpoint, the subject device is identical to the 510(k) cleared predicate device, WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B), K200297, in brachial blood pressure measurement in pregnant patients including those with known or suspected pre-eclampsia and pediatrics (but not neonates),atrial fibrillation detection and central blood pressure measurement.
Regarding clinical validation concerning the compliance of ANSI/AAMI/IEC 81060-2, the subject blood pressure monitor Model WatchBP O3 (BP3SZ1-1) is, from a technical point of view, identical to the predicate blood pressure monitor Model WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B).
The subject device WatchBP O3 (BP3SZ1-1) and the predicate device WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B) both intended to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressures, pulse rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP) for use in adults and pediatrics (but not neonates) with arm cuff circumference sizes ranging from 14 -52 cm. And they can both accurately measure blood pressure in pregnant patients including those with known or suspected pre-eclampsia, detect the appearance of atrial fibrillation during measurement and provides central blood pressure measurement including central systolic blood pressure (cSBP), central pulse pressure (cPP) and central diastolic blood pressure (cDBP).
The differences between the two models are addressed in VOL 5, 001 Comparison Chart. According to the information from the comparison chart, the major difference between the two models is that the subject device is a 24 hour ambulatory blood pressure monitor (ABPM), the device automatically takes measurements at fixed intervals programmed by the healthcare providers. The clinical validation reports of the subject device following ISO 81060-2: 2018 for use in general population across a wide range of arm sizes (VOL 10, 002) and intended for ambulatory blood pressure monitoring (VOL 10, 003) demonstrates the accuracy of the blood pressure measurement and for use on ambulatory monitoring. The other 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 O3 (BP3SZ1-1) in terms of brachial blood pressure measurement in pregnant patients including those with known or suspected preeclampsia and pediatrics (but not neonates),atrial fibrillation detection and central blood pressure measurement would be essential equivalent with performance of the predicate device WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B). There was no repeated clinical testing required for brachial blood pressure measurement in pregnant patients including those with known or suspected pre-eclampsia and pediatrics (but not neonates),atrial fibrillation detection and central blood pressure measurement to support WatchBP O3 (BP3SZ1-1) as the subject device can leverage the clinical validation of WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B) that was proven in K200297.Repeat clinical testing in accordance with the standard AAMI / ANSI/IEC81060-2 for the subject device WatchBP O3 (BP3SZ1-1) regarding brachial blood pressure
10
measurement in pregnant patients including those with known or suspected preeclampsia and pediatrics (but not neonates),atrial fibrillation detection and central blood pressure measurement is therefore not warranted.
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 PC-link function, we adhered to the FDA September 2019 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 devices.
