Intended use:
This oscillometric blood pressure monitor is intended for
measuring non-invasive blood pressure in people aged 12 years or
older.
It is clinically validated in patients with hypertension, hypotension,
diabetes, pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, atherosclerosis, end-stage
renal disease, obesity and the elderly.
The device can detect an irregular pulse suggestive of Atrial Fibril-
lation (AF). Please note that the device is not intended to diagnose
AF. A diagnosis of AF can only be confirmed by ECG. The patient
is advised to see a physician.
Dear Customer,
This device was developed in collaboration with physicians and
clinical tests carried out prove its measurement accuracy to be of
a very high standard.*
Microlife AFIBsens is the world's leading digital blood pressure
measurement technology for the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF)
and arterial hypertension. These are the two top risk factors of
getting a stroke or heart disease. It is important to detect AF and
hypertension at an early stage, even though you may not experi-
ence any symptoms. AF screening in general and thus also with
the Microlife AFIB algorithm, is recommended for people of 65
years and older. The AFIB algorithm indicates that atrial fibrillation
may be present. For this reason, it is recommended that you visit
your doctor when the device gives an AFIB signal during your
blood pressure measurement. The AFIB algorithm of Microlife has
been clinically investigated by several prominent clinical investiga-
tors and showed that the device detects patients with AFIB at a
1,2
certainty of 97-100%.
