WatchBP Home S makes screening
for AFIB and hypertension simple
and convenient.

Microlife WatchBP Home S is the world’s leading digital blood pressure measurement device for the early detection
of atrial fibrillation (AFIB) and hypertension. These are the two top risk factors of heart disease and stroke which
increase the risk of getting a stroke or heart disease in the future. It is important to detect AFIB and hypertension at
an early stage, even though you may not experience any symptoms. Appropriate treatment can reduce your risk of
suffering a stroke. For this reason, it is recommended taht you to visit your doctor when the WatchBP Home S gives an
AFIB signal during your blood pressure measurement. The AFIB algorithm of Microlife has been clinically investigated
by several prominent clinical investigators and showed that the device detects patients with AFIB at 97-100%
certainty. 1,2

measurements directly after eating, drinking
or smoking. Prepare a chair and table for the
measurement. The chair should have a vertical back-
rest and the table should allow for your upper arm to
rest at the same height as your heart. Sit down and
relax for at least 5 minutes before the measurement.
2) Applying the cuff – Remove all clothing covering or
constricting the arm to be measured. Fit the cuff closely
around the arm, but not too tight, and be placed 2~3cm
above the elbow with the tube on the inside of the arm.
