help Microlife BP B4 AFIB BT FAQ
How does the Microlife BP B4 AFIB BT detect atrial fibrillation?
The device uses an advanced algorithm called AFIB technology to detect irregular heart rhythms during standard blood pressure measurements. If an irregular pulse is detected that indicates potential atrial fibrillation, the device displays a specific warning symbol on its screen.
Is the Microlife BP B4 AFIB BT an upper arm or wrist monitor?
The BP B4 AFIB BT is designed as a wrist-worn device, making it highly portable and easy to use without wrapping a bulky cuff around the bicep. Users simply slide the device onto their wrist and hold it at heart level during the measurement.
What does the "BT" stand for in the Microlife BP B4 model name?
"BT" indicates that the device is equipped with Bluetooth technology to automatically sync data to the Microlife BP Companion smartphone app. This allows users to easily track their historical blood pressure data and share it directly with their cardiologists.
How accurate is the Microlife AFIB technology compared to an ECG?
While it is highly sensitive, the AFIB screening on the Microlife BP B4 is not a substitute for a diagnostic electrocardiogram (ECG) performed in a clinical setting. It is intended strictly as an early warning system to prompt users to seek medical evaluation from a physician.
