The device description explicitly states it is a "non-invasive digital blood pressure device using the oscillometric technique and an upper-arm blood pressure cuff" and uses a "resistive pressure sensor". These are hardware components, making it a hardware device with accompanying software.
Based on the provided text, the Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Screening Monitor Model WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- IVD Definition: In Vitro Diagnostic devices are used to examine specimens derived from the human body, such as blood, urine, or tissue, to provide information for diagnosis, monitoring, or screening.
- Device Function: The description clearly states that this device is a non-invasive digital blood pressure device that uses an upper-arm cuff and the oscillometric technique to measure physiological parameters like blood pressure, pulse rate, MAP, central blood pressure parameters, ABI, and baPWV. It does not analyze any specimens taken from the body.
- Intended Use: The intended use is for measuring these parameters directly on the patient's body, not for analyzing samples in a laboratory setting.
- Lack of Specimen Analysis: There is no mention of collecting or analyzing any biological specimens.
Therefore, the device falls under the category of a non-invasive medical device used for physiological measurements, not an In Vitro Diagnostic device.

Device Description
Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) 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 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 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 has two settings of measurement. One setting is for measurement on one arm or on both arms simultaneously. The measurement program of the device can be set when the measurement of one arm or both arm is selected, including Number of Measurements. Resting Time (Countdown Time), Interval Time, AFIB Detector, CBP Measurement, and Average Calculation (Discard 1st measurement or not). The other setting is for measurement on one arm with one leg, this measurement is selected when assessing brachial-ankle Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV) and Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) measurement.
In addition, the device can be used in connection with your personal computer (PC) running the WatchBP Analyzer software. The memory data can be transferred to the PC by connecting the monitor with the PC via USB cable or Bluetooth.
The device can accurately measure blood pressure in pregnant patients including those with known or suspected pre-eclampsia.

Summary of Performance Studies (study type, sample size, AUC, MRMC, standalone performance, key results)
Clinical investigation report (VOL 010.002) evaluated automated brachial-ankle PWV (baPWV) taken by the Microlife WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) versus reference cfPWV (Complior device). Total of 97 subjects were analyzed (age 58.3 ± 11.4 years, men 70%, hypertensives 76%, diabetics 17%, cardiovascular disease 10%, smokers 23%). Both the results from the baPWV of the subject device (TWIN200 VSR) and cfPWV of the gold standard were correlated with age. Automated baPWV measurement by using a professional oscillometric blood pressure monitor (TWIN200 VSR) is feasible and observer-independent. The results showed the baPWV values differ from those by cfPWV, yet they are closely correlated.

Subject (Modified) Device Compared to reference Predicate VP-1000 (K013434)
1) Device description of Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV)
The WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) is designed to perform noninvasive physiologic measurements for PWV. Pulse wave velocity is the speed at which the pulse is transmitted from the heart to the end artery when blood is expelled during contraction. The WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) uses the waveform from the cuffs. Then, PWV is calculated using the subject's body height and △T(△T, here, represents the time difference between the pulse waves that are transmitted to the brachial and ankle arteries.) derived from the cuff waveform signal on the brachial and ankle sites.
2) Intended use
Both the subject device and the VP-1000 predicate device have the common intended use, having the capability of measuring PWV. The measurement made by the predicate device VP-1000 is used for the same purposes as the subject device - having the capability of calculating PWV. Specifically, both the subject and predicate devices are intended to monitor physiologic parameters noninvasively. The subject device and predicate device are used for the patients
10
in professional settings and a medical professional is responsible for interpreting the data / determining its significance related to the patient's health.
3) Technological characteristics
In contrast to the invasive arterial line catheterization PWV technique, both the subject and predicate equipment are made to calculate PWV non-invasively. Both subject and predicate devices measure the △T, which is the time taken for the arterial pulse pressure wave to travel from the aortic valve to a peripheral site, using a pair of cuffs to detect brachial and ankle pulsations. Subject and predicate devices use the same concept- use pulse waveform from brachial and ankle cuffs to get △T data. After that, PWV is determined by dividing the corresponding estimated proximal-distal distances by the observed △T.
The subject and predicate devices both have their own automated algorithms to determine △T based on the brachial and ankle cuff waveform measurements, to compute PWV. The primary differences between the predicate and subject device are the content of the algorithm they use and the formula to calculate the distance between the brachial and ankle. WatchBP Office Vascular's Pulse Wave Velocity (PWV) feature is the same as VP-1000 (K013434) in technological characteristics and intended use. In the predicate device (K013434), a complicated measurement (using ECG as a timing reference) was required to measure the arterial signals.
The information submitted in the 510(k) application shows that, when compared to the VP-1000 predicate device, any differences in technological attributes do not raise new or different concerns about safety and efficacy. The WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) was designed to increase the convenience of baPWV measurement functionality, without altering the intended use or risk profile, relative to the VP-1000 predicate device (K013434).
The WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) has been carefully compared to the legally marketed predicate device (VP-1000, K013434) with respect to intended use/indications for use, technological characteristics, performance, safety characteristics, and labeling. The data submitted in the 510(k) application shows that, when compared to the VP-1000 predicate device, any differences in technological attributes do not raise new or different concerns about safety and efficacy.

8. Discussion of Clinical Tests Performed:
Clinical Validation Concerning the Compliance of ANSI/AAMI/ ISO 81060-2: The subject device Model WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) is from the technical point of view, identical to the predicate blood pressure monitor WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B). They both intended to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressures, pulse rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP) 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, and both intended to detect AFIB and measure CBP&CPP (Central Blood Pressure& Central Pulse. Although they are different in some features of F/W reversion of algorithm, the different features are all U/I related features which are not relative to clinical performance of the devices and all feature related to brachial blood pressure algorithm, atrial fibrillation detection algorithm and central blood pressure indices algorithm are identical. The fundamental scientific technology of the modified WatchBP Office

Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) device is the same as the predicate device WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B). Therefore the brachial blood pressure measurement algorithm detection in pregnant patients including those with known or suspected preeclampsia, "adults and pediatrics (but not neonates)" with arm cuff circumference sizes ranging from 14 -52 cm of WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) and atrial fibrillation detection algorithm detects AFIB and central blood pressure indices algorithm that measures CBP&CPP are substantially equivalent with the predicate device WatchBP Office (BP3SK1-3B) and repeated clinical testing for aforementioned parameters is not required. There was no repeated clinical testing required for brachial blood pressure 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, detect AFIB and measure CBP&CPP to support WatchBP Office Vascular as the subject device WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) 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 //SO81060-2 for the subject device WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) regarding brachial blood pressure measurement 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, detect AFIB and measure CBP&CPP are therefore not necessary.
Moreover, the subject device Model WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) is also intended to perform ankle-arm measurements to assess the ankle-brachial index (ABI). The subject device Model WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) is from the technical point of view, identical to the predicate blood pressure monitor WatchBP Office ABI (TWIN200 ABI).Although they are different in some features of F/W reversion of algorithm, the different features are all U/I related features which are not relative to clinical performance of the devices and all features related to brachial blood pressure algorithm, atrial fibrillation detection and ankle-brachial index algorithm are identical. The fundamental scientific technology of the modified WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) device is the same as the predicate device WatchBP Office ABI (TWIN200 ABI). Therefore the performance of the WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) in terms of brachial blood pressure measurement, atrial fibrillation detection and perform ankle-arm measurements to assess the ankle-brachial index (ABI) would be essential equivalent with performance of the predicate device WatchBP Office ABI (TWIN200 ABI). There was no repeated clinical testing required for brachial blood pressure measurement, atrial fibrillation detection and perform ankle-arm measurements to assess the ankle-brachial index (ABI) to support WatchBP Office Vascular as the subject device WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) can leverage the clinical validation of WatchBP Office ABI (TWIN200 ABI) that was proven in K112845. Repeat clinical testing in accordance with the standard AAMI / ANSI/IEC81060-2 for the subject device WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) regarding brachial blood pressure measurement, atrial fibrillation detection and perform ankle-arm measurements to assess the ankle-brachial index (ABI) is therefore not necessary.
Besides, the subject device Model WatchBP Office Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) has an additional feature: brachial-ankle Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV) assessment, which is taken with simultaneously double cuffs measurement in an arm and an ankle. The subiect device's PWV feature is the same as predicate device. VP-1000 (K013434), in terms of technological characteristic.
The clinical performance and feasibility of using the subject device for

Brachial-ankle Pulse Wave Velocity (baPWV) assessment is validated by the clinical investigation report (VOL 010.002). Briefly, this study evaluated automated brachialankle PWV (baPWV) taken by the Microlife WatchBP Office Vascular(TWIN200 VSR) versus reference cfPWV (Complior device). Total of 97 subjects were analyzed (age 58.3 ± 11.4 years, men 70%, hypertensives 76%, diabetics 17%, cardiovascular disease 10%, smokers 23%) in the study. Both the results from the baPWV of the subiect device (TWIN200 VSR) and cfPWV of the gold standard were correlated with age. Automated baPWV measurement by using a professional oscillometric blood pressure monitor (TWIN200 VSR) is feasible and observer-independent. The results showed the baPWV values differ from those by cfPWV, yet they are closely correlated.
Therefore, the subject device could provide with a numerical value of baPWV for blood flow inside the intended blood vessel for the healthcare professionals in diagnosing the increased arterial stiffness.
