Abstract
BackgroudTo determine whether the professional Omron HBP-1300 blood pressure (BP) monitor meets American Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) accuracy standards in Chinese children and adults.MethodAccording to the AAMI protocol, simultaneous auscultatory measurements by two observers using a mercury manometer were obtained in participants using the Omron HBP-1300. Triple measurements were obtained after a minimum 5-min rest with a 1-min interval between adjacent measurements.ResultsA total of 85 participants submitted to 255 doctor-measured BP and 255 successful professional monitor readings. The initial auscultation systolic BP was <100 mmHg in 25 participants (29.4 %), 100–160 mmHg in 53 participants (62.4 %), and >160 mmHg in seven participants (8.2 %). All of the simultaneous measurements agreed to within ±10 mmHg, while 95 % agreed to within ±4 mmHg for both systolic and diastolic BP, and the consistency between two observers was satisfactory. The difference between the devices was -1.3 ± 3.6 mmHg for systolic BP and 0.7 ± 3.8 mmHg for diastolic BP and by AAMI method 1, which met this guideline. The average difference between two devices by AAMI method 2 was 1.4 ± 3.2 mmHg for systolic BP and 1.0 ± 3.9 mmHg for diastolic BP, which met this guideline.ConclusionThe professional BP monitor Omron HBP-1300 is desirable for measuring the BP for Chinese children and adults.Electronic supplementary materialThe online version of this article (doi:10.1186/s12872-015-0177-z) contains supplementary material, which is available to authorized users.
Highlights
Many hypertension survey protocols use automatic digital devices for measurements since they have no observer error and require no strict training
Trial evidence indicates that even small differences of 2–4 mmHg in systolic blood pressure (BP) (SBP) are clinically important, accurate measurements are vital
There were 5 size cuffs provided to Omron HBP-1300 Professional Blood Pressure Monitor in the market
Summary
Many hypertension survey protocols use automatic digital devices for measurements since they have no observer error and require no strict training. Clinicians are increasingly developing confidence that automated blood pressure (BP) device readings are comparable to those of auscultatory manual devices [1, 2]. Trial evidence indicates that even small differences of 2–4 mmHg in systolic BP (SBP) are clinically important, accurate measurements are vital. A BP-measuring device that can pass the American Association of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) standard testing [3] with reliable accuracy would be a
