Description

Microlife WatchBP Office ABI is a validated professional automatic office blood pressure device which can assess the ankle-brachial index (ABI)

World’s First Blood Pressure Monitors that can Detect Atrial Fibrillation (AF) & Validated for use in Pregnancy- Pre-eclampsia & End-Stage Renal Disease (ERD)

High quality and easy blood pressure monitor for doctors’ office with built-in atrial fibrillation detector. WatchBP Office Basic screens for atrial fibrillation with high accuracy at 97% – 100% sensitivity and 89% specificity during blood pressure measurement. It is easy and conveniently automated. One-touch for measuring blood pressure and screening for atrial fibrillation at the same time, two major controllable risk factors for stroke. Semi-automated Auscultatory mode for e.g. use in elderly and obese patients and those with arrhythmia.

WatchBP monitors with implemented Afib detection system allow patients to be screened for Afib during blood pressure measurement. The Afib detection system has convincingly proven its accuracy and showed that it leads to increased detection of new patients with Afib when used in general clinical practice.

WatchBP Afib detects atrial fibrillation with high accuracy (sensitivity 97-100% – specificity 89%) as demonstrated in multiple comparative studies with ECG.

Ankle Brachial Index

The Ankle Brachial Index (ABI) is the ratio of the blood pressure in the lower legs to the blood pressure in the arms. Blood pressure that is lower in the leg than in the arm indicates blocked arteries (peripheral artery disease) The ankle-brachial index represents a simple, reliable method for diagnosing peripheral arterial disease.

WatchBP Office ABI

At present, ABI is commonly determined with a Doppler device. However, measurement with a Doppler machine is very time consuming and requires skills from the observer. The WatchBP Office improves and eases the screening of peripheral vascular diseases Microlife has developed the WatchBP Office ABI. With this validated device, the ABI can be determined accurately and significantly faster than with the Doppler machine. Another advantage of the WatchBP Office ABI as compared to the Doppler Machine is that measurements are performed simultaneously and the method is much less influenced by the observer.

Ultimate cardiovascular screening device

Although the accent of the WatchBP Office ABI lies on the ankle-brachial measurement the WatchBP Office ABI has more tools for screening important cardiovascular risk factors. Like the WatchBP Office and WatchBP Office Afib, the device is delivered with double cuffs so that simultaneous double arm measurements can be performed for the screening inter-arm differences. When the device is used in the Screen mode Atrial fibrillation can be detected when present.

 Automated ABI Assessment

Accurate– A clinical validation study has shown that the WatchBP office ABI is highly accurate and that ABI values obtained with the WatchBP Office ABI are as reliable as when obtained with a Doppler device.

Reliable- Sensitivity and specificity of the WatchBP Office ABI to diagnose Peripheral arterial disease (defined as Doppler ABI <0.9) at 85% and 97% respectively

Fast and Easy- Average time for automated ABI assessment is only 4 min with the WatchBP Office ABI. It requires less than half the time compared to Doppler measurement.

PC Connectivity- Transmit all measurement data to any PC via USB connection.

Automated AFIB Detection

– Accurate Screening

– Reliable detection of AFIB during automated blood pressure measurement with 97-100% sensitivity and 89% specificity as compared to ECG diagnosis.

-Easy, convenient and screening for AFIB function which follows the stroke prevention guidelines of leading medical society.

Microlife WatchBP Office ABI Features:

* Unique dual-cuff design for convenient, simultaneous both-arm blood pressure measurement for assessing inter-arm blood pressure differences.

* With one touch the device automatically performs duplicate measurements according to guidelines while also screening for AFIB.

* Fast, easy and reliable automated ABI measurement, screening for peripheral arterial disease without Doppler.
