Microlife WatchBP Home A BT
Code: MD06251
Bluetooth® home blood pressure monitor with AFIB* technology for stroke risk prevention
Recommended by NICE (UK)
"WatchBP Home A should be used for hypertension monitoring in primary care”
The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence (NICE) officially recommends using the WatchBP Home A during routine blood pressure measurement for all GP’s in the United Kingdom.
WatchBP AFIB
WatchBP monitors with Atrial Fibrillation (AF) detection system.
AF is the most common sustained cardiac arrhythmia occurring in 5% of the population older than 65 years of age and in 14% among those older than 85 years. AF leads to a 5-fold higher risk of stroke and is responsible for 20% of all strokes. Many people have no symptoms from AF and therefore remain undiagnosed, whereas early treatment can reduce the risk of stroke by 68%.
WatchBP AFIB monitors allow AF screening during blood pressure measurement. The AF detection system has proven its accuracy, and leads to detection of more new patients with AF when used in general clinical practice.
WatchBP Average
Three consecutive measurements in a row.
Guidelines recommend taking at least two blood pressure readings each time and average the measurements.
Advantages of taking 3 consecutive measurements:
- More accurate blood pressure measurement.
- Three sequential measurements diminishes the influence of a single deviating (high) reading.
ESH / AHA / BIHS guidelines embedded
The 7-days-measurement program.
Helps patients to perform 7-day self-measurement according to international well-known blood pressure measurement guidelines (ESH / AHA / BIHS).
PC connection
Transmit measurement data to PC via USB connection.
The software for all WatchBP devices is user friendly and allows easy data transfer and analysis. WatchBP software is free of charge to download direct from our website onto your computer.
For use in End-Stage Renal Disease (ESRD)
Validated blood pressure monitors for patients with end-stage renal disease.
Patients with renal disease have a very high incidence of hypertension, paired with stiff (calcified) arteries. As automated measurements are often inaccurate in patients with stiff arteries, a special validation is required.
For use in Diabetes
Accurate measurement for patients with Diabetes.
Microlife blood pressure monitors are validated for blood pressure measurement in patients with diabetes. Patients with Diabetes Mellitus type 1 and 2 may have stiff arteries that can affect the blood pressure measurement. A recent validation study in diabetes patients type 1 and 2 showed that the Microlife monitor is accurate when used in this patient group.
