The Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure and Cardiovascular Screening Monitor Model WatchBP Ofce
Vascular (TWIN200 VSR) is a non-invasive digital blood pressure device using the oscillometric technique and an upper-
arm blood pressure cuff to measure systolic and diastolic blood pressures, pulse rate, mean arterial pressure (MAP) for use
in adults and paediatrics (but not neonates) with arm cuff circumference sizes ranging from 14-52 cm (5.5-20.5 inches).
The device screens for the presence of atrial brillation during measurement.
The device can accurately measure blood pressure in patients with end-stage renal disease, diabetes, and pregnancy
(including those with known or suspected pre-eclampsia).
A recommended test for diagnosing Peripheral Artery Disease (PAD) is performing ankle-arm measurements to assess the
ankle-brachial index (ABI). The device has proven to be a fast, easy, and reliable alternative for PAD screening and has been
clinically validated when compared against a manual Doppler device [1].
The device also provides a user-friendly and more reproducible cuff-based brachial-ankle pulse wave velocity (PWV)
measurement method to evaluate arterial stiffness in clinical practice [2].
The device provides aortic blood pressure parameters, including central systolic blood pressure (cSBP), central pulse
pressure (cPP) and central diastolic blood pressure (cDBP), non-invasively through the use of a brachial cuff. This was
validated against invasive blood pressure measurement and showed that the device determines central blood pressure
measurement with high accuracy [3].
The memory data can be transferred to the PC running the WatchBP Analyzer software by connecting the monitor via USB
cable or Bluetooth.
The device is meant for use by healthcare professionals in clinical practice.

• The device measures brachial blood pressure using pressured cuff over upper arm. If the arm or leg to be
measured have any injuries (e.g. open wounds) or conditions (e.g. intravenous drip) or has stents implanted
making it unsuitable for surface contact or pressurization, do not use the device.
• The device is not intended to measure pulse rate to check the frequency of a pacemaker.
• The application of the cuff and its pressurization on any limb where intravascular access or therapy, or an
arterio-venous (A-V) shunt is present because of temporary interference with blood ow could result in injury to
the patient.
• Avoid taking measurements on the arm on the side of a mastectomy or lymph node clearance.
• Avoid taking measurements of patients with diseases and environmental conditions that lead to incontrollable
motions (e.g. trembling or shivering), or it may cause inaccurate measurements.
Precautions
• Remove the cuff or disconnect the cuff connector to release the cuff pressure if the device is not working
properly or the cuff keeps inflating.
• Avoid situations of extended cuff pressurization beyond normal measurements.

Fitting the arm cuff properly
1 Measure the patient’s upper-arm circumference to
select the appropriate cuff.
2 Place the cuff over the upper arm so that the air
tube and artery mark arrow point towards the lower
arm. The artery mark on the cuff must be placed
over the brachial artery.
3Lay the cuff on the arm. Make sure that the lower
edge of the cuff lies approximately 2 to 3 cm ( ¾ to 1
inch) above the elbow.
4Wrap and tighten the cuff around the arm.
5Leave free space with the size of 2 fingers between
the arm of the patient and the cuff. Excessive
tightness may cause venous congestion and
discoloration of the limb. If the cuff is wrapped
too loosely, it cannot be inflated properly, and the
measured values may be inaccurate. Remove all
clothing covering or constricting the measurement
arm. Clothing may interfere with measurement
accuracy.
6Cuffs that do not fit properly may lead to inaccurate
readings. Use a different size cuff if the range index
at the end of the cuff does not fall into the range
specified by the range stripes.

Blood pressure is a dynamic vital sign and its level is influenced by many factors.
Individual blood pressure reading can be affected by measurement site, patient’s body
position, and patient’s physiological conditions (e.g. exercise). The patient should
be reminded to remain still, refrain from talking, and to breathe normally during the
measurement. If the patient is occupied at the start of a measurement, the patient
should, where possible, try to relax the measurement arm and leg.
Taking measurement simultaneously in one arm and one ankle (for
simultaneous ankle-arm measurement)
Properly fit the arm cuff to the upper arm
and the ankle cuff to the leg of the preferred

one ankle measurement selected, press
the button to start a measurement. The
device automatically takes two consecutive
measurements with 60 seconds resting time
and 60 seconds interval time. The device
shows the setting of Height and then starts
counting down 60 seconds Resting Time before the first measurement. During both
measurements, the cuff pressure is held at around 60 mmHg for around 10 seconds
to collect sufficient pulse waves. The average measurement reading is displayed and
saved after the measurements are complete.
Make sure the upper arm cuff is connected to the right cuff socket and the ankle cuff is
connected to the left cuff socket.

Safety, care, accuracy test and disposal
Safety and protection
This device may only be used for the purposes as described in these instructions. The
device comprises of sensitive components and must be treated with caution. The
manufacturer cannot be held liable for damage caused by incorrect application.
Carefully read the information in this section, and additional safety information marked by
with “Warning” and “Caution” in other sections of this Instructions for Use.
Usage and storage of the device in conditions outside ranges given in the Technical
Description may affect device functionalities and produce inaccurate results.
Warnings
• Avoid kinking, compression, and moving of the cuff tube during device operation to ensure the safety
of the patient and reliability of the device performance. If the connected tube is kinking, it may cause
continuously elevation of the cuff pressure and interference of the blood ow, then might result in
harmful injury to the PATIENT.
• Overly frequent measurement within a short time (e.g. 5 – 10 minutes) may reduce peripheral perfusion
and cause injury. After a measurement is completed, loosen the cuff and rest the arm for a few minutes
to restore limb perfusion, before taking another measurement.
• Interruption of blood ow during measurement may temporarily affect the operations of other medical
equipment used on the same limb (e.g. pulse oximeter).
• Blood ow of the arm is temporarily interrupted during measurement. Extended interruption of
blood ow reduces peripheral circulation and may cause tissue injury. Beware of signs (e.g. tissue
discoloration) of impeded peripheral circulation if taking measurements continuously or for an
extended period of time.
