Dear Customer,
Your new Microlife blood pressure monitor is a reliable medical
instrument for taking measurements on the upper arm. It is simple
to use, accurate and comes highly recommended for blood pres-
sure monitoring in your home. This instrument was developed in
collaboration with physicians and clinical tests proving its
measurement accuracy to be very high.*
Microlife AFIB detection is the world’s leading digital blood pres-
sure measurement technology for the early detection of atrial fibril-
lation (AFIB) and hypertension. These are the two top risk factors
of heart disease and stroke which increase the risk of getting a
stroke or heart disease in the future. It is important to detect AFIB
and hypertension at an early stage, even though you may not
experience any symptoms. Appropriate treatment can 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 inves-
tigators and showed that the device detects patients with AFIB at
97-100% certainty.
