Assessment:
The technology used in the Microlife BP B2 Basic (BP 3KA1-3N), to measure blood pressure, has been compared to a clinically validated device, but the results of the equivalence study have not been published and cannot be verified; nor can the protocol be checked for compliance with (EU) 2017/745 and MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4.
Recommendations:
| Accuracy Assessment | Recommendation | Basis | |
| BP | Medaval | None | Although equivalence to another device is claimed, this has not been tested to MDR requirements. |
| BP | BIHS (UK and IRL) | Self-measurement (Previous) | Manufacturer declaration of equivalence to the Microlife BP B3 AFib |
| BP | Stride BP | Self-measurement for adults (Preferred) | Equivalence claim without published evidence |
