AI Article Synopsis

  • A study was conducted to evaluate the accuracy of the Omron RS6 wrist blood pressure monitor in obese Sudanese patients, following guidelines for clinical validation.
  • Out of 90 participants, 33 were chosen, and their blood pressure was measured using both the Omron device and a traditional mercury sphygmomanometer.
  • The results showed a strong correlation between the two methods, with mean differences for systolic and diastolic pressures within acceptable limits, confirming the Omron RS6 as a valid device for measuring blood pressure.

Article Abstract

Electronic devices for measuring blood pressure (BP) need to go through independent clinical validation as recommended by different authorities, both in general and specific populations. The aim of this study was to assess the validity of the Omron RS6 (HEM-6221-E) wrist oscillometric devices in obese Sudanese patients. Of 90 obese individuals invited for recruitment, 33 were included in the study, and had their BP at the level of the wrist measured using Omron RS6 and standard mercury sphygmomanometer. Two observations were made and the mean was taken. BP differences between the two methods for the 33 participants were classified into three categories (≤5, ≤10, and ≤15 mmHg), according to the European Society of Hypertension-International Protocol revision 2010 (ESH-IP2) criteria. This was then used to assess the validity of the tested Omron RS6 device. Participants had a mean age of 56.97 years (standard deviation (SD), 8.75; range, 36-79). Average systolic blood pressure (SBP) was 146.21 mmHg (SD, 23.07; range, 107-182), and average diastolic blood pressure (DBP) was 93.82 mmHg (SD, 16.06; range, 67-128). There was a good agreement between the two observations using the OMRON RS6 and the standard sphygmomanometer: -4 to + 3 mmHg for SBP and -4 to +4 mmHg for DBP, with the mean difference of 1.73±1.11 mmHg for SBP and 1.49±1.02 mmHg for DBP. Thus, the Omron RS6 (HEM-6221-E) is a valid and suitable measure of BP according to ESH-IP2.

Objective: Two oscillometric devices, the Microlife WatchBP O3 and the Omron RS6, designed for self-blood pressure measurement were evaluated according to the European Society of Hypertension (ESH)-International Protocol (IP) Revision 2010 in the obese population.

Methods: The Microlife WatchBP O3 measures blood pressure (BP) at the brachial level and the Omron RS6 measures BP at the wrist level. The ESH-IP revision 2010 includes a total of 33 subjects.

Article Synopsis
  • The study aimed to assess the accuracy of the Omron RS6 blood pressure monitor with a positioning sensor (PSON) compared to when the sensor was off (PSOFF).
  • A total of 85 adult participants were measured for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, showing that readings with the positioning sensor on had smaller deviations from a standard mercury reference sphygmomanometer.
  • The results indicated that the PSON significantly improved measurement accuracy, with a higher percentage of participants showing minimal difference from the standard device compared to PSOFF.

Background: Allowing patients to measure their blood pressure at home is recognized as being of clinical value. However, it is not known how often these measurements are taken correctly. Blood pressure monitors for home use fall into two types based on the position of the cuff, ie, at the upper arm or the wrist.
