Microlife WatchBP Office ABI Blood Pressure Monitor

The Microlife WatchBP Office ABI Blood Pressure Monitor is a high-quality, professional automatic office blood pressure device which can assess the ankle brachial index (ABI) quickly and accurately. It features a broad suite of cardiovascular diagnostics, making it a great choice for any hospital or medical facility dealing with heart health.

What’s Included?

• 1 x Microlife WatchBP Office Blood Pressure Device
• 1 x Standard Adult Arm Cuff
• 1 x Conical Shape Ankle Cuff
• 1 x Power Adaptor

What Is the 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.

Is This Only an ABI Screening Device?

While the Microlife WatchBP Office ABI is primarily an ABI diagnostic device, it also holds a range of tools for screening important cardiovascular risk factors. The device is delivered with double cuffs so that simultaneous double arm measurements can be performed for the screening inter-arm-difference (IAD). In the Screen mode, the device can also be used to detect atrial fibrillation (AF).

Who Can Use This Device?

This blood pressure monitor is suitable for use with a wide range of patients, including the following groups with particular needs:

• Pregnant patients
• Patients with end stage renal disease
• Patients with diabetes
• Patients who require ankle measurements (using the conical cuff)
• Children over three years old

What Are the Features of the Microlife Watch BP ABI Blood Pressure Device?

• Unique dual-cuff design allows for simultaneous blood pressure measurements on both arms, assessing inter-arm blood pressure differences
• User friendly software is especially designed for easy data transfer and analysis via mini-usb, with free PC software
• With one touch the device automatically performs duplicate measurements according to guidelines while also screening for AFIB
• Rechargeable battery holds 400 to 500 measurement cycles per charge
• Automated office blood pressure measurement (AOBPM) allows a five minute countdown before three measurements are taken. This helps to ensure results are accurate without the need for direct medical oversight.
• Fast, easy and reliable automated ABI measurement which allows for screening for peripheral arterial disease without Doppler
• Offers readings of mean arterial pressure (MAP) and pulse pressure (PP).

How Does Automated Office Blood Pressure Measurement Work?

Automated office blood pressure measurement (AOBPM) runs an automated sequence of diagnostics without the need for close management. It features a five minute countdown period, before taking three measurements, each a minute apart. A mean value is taken from these three measurements to produce a highly accurate result.
