#### Device Description: 4.
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
{4}------------------------------------------------
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. The device can also be used in connection with smart mobile devices running the APP and via Bluetooth.
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.
| Category | Systolic<br>(mmHg) | Diastolic<br>(mmHg) |
|----------------------|--------------------|---------------------|
| Normal | <120 | and <80 |
| Pre-Hypertension | 120-139 | or 80-89 |
| Hypertension | | |
| Stage 1 Hypertension | 140-159 | or 90-99 |
| Stage 2 Hypertension | ≥160 | or ≥100 |
The following standards for assessing high blood pressure (in adults) have been established by the National Institutes of Health JNC7, 2003.
{5}------------------------------------------------
The appearance of this symbol __ indicates that certain pulse irregularities were detected during the measurement. In this case, the result may deviate from your normal basal blood pressure repeat the measurement. In most cases, this is no cause for concern. However, if the symbol appears on a regular basis (e.g., several times a week with measurements taken daily), we advise you to tell your doctor.
Image /page/5/Picture/2 description: The image shows a digital display with three numbers. The top number is 129, the middle number is 78, and the bottom number is 65. To the left of the bottom number is a symbol that looks like a heart rate monitor.
The blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic digital blood pressure measuring device for use by adults on the upper arm at home.
#### 5. Indications for Use:
The Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3MW 1-4B 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.

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.
#### 6. Comparison to the 510(k) Cleared Devices (Predicate Devices):
The modified device model BP3MW1-4B uses the same oscillometric method as the predicate BP3MW1-4X(R) 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 differ by Bluetooth function. The subject device BP3MW1-4B has been added the function of transferring the memory data to the smart phone via
{6}------------------------------------------------
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 BP3MW1-4B is changed to WRS cuff, it is the same with the one cleared in BP3AP1-3E, which was proved in K111652. The other differences also do not affect the accuracy and normal use of this device based on the clinical declaration of identity and clinical testing comparing different functions.
The modified device model BP3MW1-4B uses the same oscillometric method as the predicate device BP3NF1-2B. They have the same 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 BP3MW1-4B 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:
The following National and International Standards were utilized for testing the subject device:
- 1) IEC 60601-1 Medical electrical equipment Part 1: General requirements for basic safety and essential performance AAMI / ANSI ES60601-1:2005/(R)2012 And A1:2012., C1:2009/(R)2012 And A2:2010/(R)2012 (MISC 002)

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 BP3MW1-4B 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 BP3MW1-4B is from the technical point of view, identical to the predicate blood pressure monitor BP3MW1-4X(R). Moreover, the measurement algorithm and its program codes of BP3MW1-4X(R) remain unchanged. The fundamental scientific technology of the modified BP3MW1-4B device is the same as the predicate device BP3MW1-4X(R). Therefore the performance of the BP3MW1-4B in terms of blood pressure measurement would be identical with performance of the predicate device BP3MW1-4X(R). Repeat clinical testing in accordance with the standard ANSI/AAMI IEC81060-2 for the subject device BP3MW1-4B 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 PC-link function, we adhered to the FDA September 1999 document "Guidance for Off-The-Shelf Software Use in Medical Devices".
{8}------------------------------------------------
#### 10. Conclusions:
