The Microlife Upper Arm Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor, Model BP3MW1-4Y is a device intended to
measure the systolic and diastolic blood pressure, pulse rate of an adult individual with arm circumference sizes ranging
from 22 -42 cm by using a non-invasive oscillometric technique which an inflatable cuff is wrapped around the single
upper arm.
The device detects the appearance of irregular heartbeat during measurement, and gives a warning signal with the reading
once the irregular heartbeat is detected.
The memory data can be transferred to the PC (personal computer) running the Microlife Blood Pressure Analyzer (BPA)
software by connecting the monitor via cable. The device can also be used in connection with smart mobile devices
running the APP and via Bluetooth.
The blood pressure monitor is a fully automatic digital blood pressure measuring device used by adults on the upper arm
at home.
