Microlife WatchBP Home T is the world’s first digital blood pressure measurement device that strictly follows European Society of
Hypertension (ESH)1, 2 and American Heart Association (AHA) recommendations for home blood pressure measurement. Using the
WatchBP Home T device helps you collect accurate home blood pressure measurements your doctor can trust. This WatchBP Home T
device has been clinically validated according to the ESH protocol 3.
Indications For Use
The Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, M o d el W a t chB P H o m e T ( B P 3MX 1- 3T ) i s a d e vi ce i nt e nd ed t o
measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure and pulse rate of an adult individual with arm cuff circumference sizes ranging
from 22 -42 cm by using a non-invasive oscillometric technique in one inflatable cuff being wrapped around the upper arm.
The memory data can be transferred to the PC (personal computer) running the WatchBP Analyzer Home 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 device detects the appearance of atrial fibrillation during measurement and gives a warning signal with the reading once
atrial fibrillation is detected. It is intended for use in individuals previously diagnosed with AFib. The feature has not been tested
for and is not intended for use in people under 22 years of age.

Atrial Fibrillation Detector
The Watch BP home T can screen for atrial
fibrillation during blood pressure measurement.
The device displays the Afib icon if atrial
fibrillation is detected at the time of the blood
pressure measurement.
People with a history of atrial fibrillation may have
atrial fibrillation on occasion or they may have it all
the time. Using the device regularly can help people
keep track of how often they are in atrial fibrillation. If
the device detects atrial fibrillation in someone who is
not on a blood thinner, that person should contact
their doctor to determine if they need to be on a
blood thinner.
Sometimes the device might detect atrial fibrillation
when it is not there. This is usually caused by other
rhythm abnormalities. Occasionally, the device might
not detect atrial fibrillation even when it is there. On
a repeat reading the device should detect atrial
fibrillation.
The device may not detect atrial fibrillation in people
with pacemakers or defibrillators. It is not
recommended to use for detecting atrial fibrillation in
people with pacemakers or defibrillators.
