## Indications for Use

The KLOCK Blood Pressure Monitor is to be used by adults as a Home Health Care device to monitor Blood Pressure (systolic and diastolic) and the Pulse rate at home. The Blood Pressure Measurement is obtained by the use of the oscillometric method, meaning that the monitor detects the blood's movement through the artery in the wrist and converts the movements into digital readings. The KLOCK is not intended to be used by people who have circulatory problems, such as arrhythmia, or if pregnant.

## Device Story

Watch-style wrist-worn digital blood pressure monitor; utilizes oscillometric method to detect arterial blood movement in wrist; converts detected oscillations into digital systolic/diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate readings; intended for adult home self-use; provides immediate digital display of measurements to user; assists in routine health monitoring; device operation requires no specialized medical training.

## Clinical Evidence

No clinical data provided; substantial equivalence based on technological characteristics and intended use.

## Technological Characteristics

Wrist-worn digital monitor; oscillometric sensing principle; battery-powered; digital display; standalone operation.

## Regulatory Identification

A blood pressure cuff is a device that has an inflatable bladder in an inelastic sleeve (cuff) with a mechanism for inflating and deflating the bladder. The cuff is used in conjunction with another device to determine a subject's blood pressure.
