Microlife WatchBP Home A Home Blood Pressure Monitor with AFIB Detection
AFIBsens AF detection, 3-reading average, 7-day diagnostic mode
The Microlife WatchBP Home A (BP3MX1-3) is a home blood pressure monitor with built-in Atrial Fibrillation (AF) detection, designed to support stroke risk prevention through reliable home blood pressure monitoring. Its AFIBsens technology detects AF with high accuracy, with 98% sensitivity and 92% specificity demonstrated in multiple comparative studies against a 12-lead ECG.
The monitor takes 3 consecutive measurements for accurate blood pressure measurement and AF detection, as recommended by doctors. Usual Mode averages 3 readings and stores up to 250 results for everyday monitoring, while Diagnostic Mode runs a 7-day self-measurement program that strictly follows ESH and AHA guidelines. Data can be transferred to a PC for review using WatchBP Analyzer (2G) software, known for its user-friendly design. It is a practical choice for clinicians recommending or supplying home blood pressure monitoring for patients with hypertension or suspected AF.
