A comparison among oscillometric waveforms in healthy nonpregnant women, pregnancy and hypertensive disorders of pregnancy.

Objective: Understanding of how oscillometric waveforms (OMW) vary between pregnant and nonpregnant individuals remains low. An exploratory analysis was completed to assess for quantitative and qualitative changes in OMW and oscillometric envelope features in pregnancy.

Design And Methods: Eighteen pregnant individuals (over 20 weeks gestational age) and healthy, nonpregnant (HNP) women were recruited.

Validation of the BIOS BD240 home blood pressure monitor in a multi-racial, multi-morbid Canadian population according to the International Standards Organization 2018 Protocol.

Objective: Assess the accuracy of the BIOS BD240 home blood pressure (BP) monitor and wide-range cuff according to the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 2018 standard.

Methods: Eighty-five subjects (aged ≥18 y) with arm circumferences between 24 and 43 cm were studied. Blinded, two-observer, mercury-based auscultation performed using a two-piece cuff chosen for upper arm size was used for reference measurements.
