Intended Use
Measuring systolic and diastolic blood pressures and pulse rates in adult patients with arm circumference between 5 and 15 inches.
Device Story
The BZ-576 is an automatic, non-invasive wrist blood pressure monitor designed for home, work, or travel use. It utilizes an oscillometric method with fuzzy arithmetic to measure systolic/diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate. The device consists of a cuff, integrated silicon pressure sensor, electronic pump, electronic valve, microcontroller, and LCD display. The user operates the device via buttons to initiate automated inflation and controlled deflation cycles. The silicon sensor detects cuff pressure and pulse wave components during deflation. The microcontroller processes these signals to calculate blood pressure and pulse values, which are displayed in mmHg or kPa. The device provides a portable, user-friendly solution for frequent self-monitoring of blood pressure, enabling patients to track their cardiovascular health outside of clinical settings.
Clinical Evidence
Bench and user/clinical testing were performed to validate the device. Results indicate the BZ-576 is as safe and effective as the predicate device.
Technological Characteristics
Oscillometric measurement principle; integrated silicon pressure sensor; electronic pump and valve for automated inflation/deflation; microcontroller-based processing; LCD display; battery-powered (4-AA); wrist-worn form factor.
Indications for Use
Indicated for adult patients with arm circumference between 5 and 15 inches for the measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate.
Regulatory Classification
Identification
A noninvasive blood pressure measurement system is a device that provides a signal from which systolic, diastolic, mean, or any combination of the three pressures can be derived through the use of tranducers placed on the surface of the body.

### 1. Identification of the device Proprietary-Trade Name: Model BZ-576 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor Classification Names: DXN, SYSTEM, MEASUREMENT, BLOOD-PRESSURE, NON-INVASIVE, Common/Usual Name: Wrist blood pressure monitor/Body fat meter
#### Equivalent legally marketed devices 2.
This product is similar in function and design to the Omron HEM-757 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor, K001670
#### 3. Indications for Use (intended use)
Measuring systolic and diastolic blood pressures and pulse rates in adult patients with arm circumference between 5 and 15 inches.
#### Description of the Device 4.
The Model BZ-576 Digital Blood Pressure Monitor uses the oscillometric method with Fuzzy arithmetic for measuring blood pressure, and the high accuracy and repeatability are achieved. The device is ideal for people who frequently monitor their own blood pressure, for its easy way to use at home, at work and during travel. The main components include a cuff, an integrated silicon pressure sensor, an electronic pump, an electronic valve, two buttons, a microcontroller and LCD display. The integrated silicon pressure sensor is used for detecting pressure within the cuff and the pulse wave component during the course of cuff pressure deflation, and guarantees the long period stability. The air pressure of inflation, deflation and rapid release are fully automatic by using an electronic pump and an electronic valve, and a constant deflation speed is controlled in the process of measurement for increasing the accuracy and reducing the measurement time. The blood pressure and pulse values are calculated, and are displayed with "mmHg" or "kPa" on LCD alternatively.
#### Safety and Effectiveness, comparison to predicate device క.
The results of bench and user/clinical testing indicate that the new device is as safe and effective as the predicate devices.
