monitor your blood pressure regularly, and maintain a record of your blood pressure measurements. You can then
use this record to assist your physician in diagnosing and maintaining a healthy blood pressure level.
1.1 Features
The 3MS1-4K is a fully automatic, digital, blood pressure measuring device with a unique fuzzy logic technology as
well as patented MAM and AFIB technologies. It can store up to 200 blood pressure readings.
It provides a fast and reliable measurement of systolic and diastolic blood pressure as well as heart rate using the
oscillometric measurement method.
AFIB detection is the world’s leading digital blood pressure measurement technology for the early detection of atrial
fibrillation (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 has been clinically investigated by several prominent clinical
investigators and showed that the device detects patients with AFIB at 97-100% certainty.
MAM - Averaging Mode
technology used in the device provides accurate measurements. Using three
consecutive measurements, your result is calculated and displayed as a single averaged measurement on
the display screen.
AFIB -Atrial Fibrillation Detector
technology icon is displayed when atrial fibrillation is detected during
a blood pressure reading.
