BP A150 AFIB
Dear Customer,
Your new Microlife blood pressure monitor is a reliable medical
device for taking measurements on the upper arm. It is simple to
use, accurate and comes highly recommended for blood pressure
monitoring in your home. This device was developed in collabora-
tion with physicians and clinical tests carried out prove its
measurement accuracy to be of a very high standard.*
Microlife AFIB detection is the world's leading digital blood pressure
measurement technology for the detection of atrial fibrillation (AF)
and hypertension. These are the two top risk factors of getting a
stroke or heart disease in the future. It is important to detect AF and
hypertension at an early stage, even though you may not experience
any symptoms. Appropriate treatment will reduce your risk of
suffering a stroke. 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 investigators and
showed that the device detects patients with AFIB at a certainty of
97-100%.
