BACKGROUND Two devices for self-measurement of blood pressure at the brachial artery-the Omron M5-I and the Omron 705IT-were evaluated according to the international protocol of the European Society of Hypertension. DESIGN The international validation protocol is divided into two phases: the first phase is performed on 15 selected subjects and if the device passes this phase, 18 supplementary...

BACKGROUND To investigate the accuracy of the SphygmoCor and Omron HEM9000-AI devices in the estimation of central blood pressure (BP) in comparison with the simultaneous invasive catheter measurement. METHODS The radial arterial pulse was sequentially recorded by the use of the Omron and SphygmoCor devices in 33 patients, with the calibration of the brachial oscillometric BP, to derive centr...

BACKGROUND Four oscillometric devices, including the Omron M6 Comfort, Omron HEM-7420, Withings BP-800, and Polygreen KP-7670, designed for self-blood pressure measurement (SBPM) were evaluated according to the European Society of Hypertension (ESH) International Protocol Revision 2010 in four separate studies. METHODS The four devices measure brachial blood pressure (BP) using the oscillomet...

Background Following the European Society of Hypertension International Protocol (ESH-IP) Revision 2010, QardioArm® and Omron M6 Comfort IT® oscillometric devices were evaluated in the general population and in patients with type II diabetes, respectively, for self-blood pressure (BP) measurement. Methods Both devices, QardioArm® and Omron M6 Comfort®, measure BP at the brachial level. The ES...

BACKGROUND Allowing patients to measure their blood pressure (BP) at home will be the standard for evaluating the disease state as the process of clinical diagnosis, and it is recognized as having great clinical utility. To measure BP as accurately as possible, innovative techniques have been incorporated into home BP measurement devices. OBJECTIVE The present study aimed to evaluate the perf...

Abstract—The management of high blood pressure (BP) is particularly inadequate in low-income countries, where the unavailability of a reliable, durable, and affordable BP-measurement device is a major obstacle to accurate diagnosis. Recognizing this, a World Health Organization committee was established to correct this deficiency by influencing manufacturers to produce a device according to pre...

Self-monitoring of blood pressure may give a truer estimate of usual blood pressure than readings by a doctor in the surgery, and may save time for health professionals. This study aimed to determine the accuracy of self-monitoring in the surgery using a wrist oscillometric sphygmomanometer (Omron RX). One hundred and seventy-three patients were taught to record their own blood pressure with th...

OBJECTIVES The mercury sphygmomanometer has been the gold standard used for obtaining blood pressure (BP) for the National Health and Nutrition Examination Survey (NHANES) from 1960 to the present. However, due to environmental concerns and an increased use of automated oscillometric BP devices, NHANES has been exploring an alternative to using the standard mercury sphygmomanometer (mercury) to...
