Background: Two electronic devices for self-measurement of blood pressure - a brachial monitor, the Omron M6, and a wrist monitor, the Omron R7 - were evaluated in two separate studies 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 participants (45 pairs of blood pressure measurements); if the device passes this phase, 18 supplementary participants are included (54 pairs of blood pressure measurements) making a total number of 33 participants (99 pairs of blood pressure measurements) on whom the final validation is performed.
Methods: The same methodology recommended by the European Society of Hypertension protocol was applied for both studies.
Background: Two electronic devices for self-measurement of blood pressure at the brachial artery -- the Seinex SE-9400 and the Microlife BP 3AC1-1 -- were evaluated in two separate studies according to the International Protocol of the European Society of Hypertension.

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 subjects are included making a total number of 33 subjects on which the final validation is performed.
Methods: For each subject, four blood pressure (BP) measurements were performed simultaneously by two trained observers using mercury sphygmomanometers alternately with three measurements by the tested device.
Background: The aim of this study was to validate the Omron HEM-907 blood pressure (BP) measuring device according to the international validation protocol.
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 more subjects are selected making a total number of 33 subjects on which the final validation is performed.
Methods: For each subject, BP measurements were performed simultaneously by two trained observers using mercury sphygmomanometers alternately with the Omron HEM-907 device.
