Maybe your blood pressure has been creeping up over time, or you’re starting treatment for hypertension. So, your doctor suggests you buy a home blood pressure monitor to help keep track between office visits. Sounds very simple, right? But there are hundreds of different models online. One of the most important considerations when home monitoring is recommended is the patient having access to accurate devices with validations performed under strict protocols. No matter if it’s used in a healthcare facility or the comfort of your living room, it can give you reliable readings.
Clinical validation verifies the accuracy of the device and performs tests among selected subjects according to certain criteria, such as blood pressure classification, age, sex, and pre-existing conditions. Essentially, this means that the blood pressure monitor has been confirmed to give accurate and reliable results. The most common validation protocols for blood pressure monitors are International Standards Organization (ISO), European Society of Hypertension (ESH), the British and Irish Hypertension Society (BIHS) and the Advanced Association of Medical Instruments (AAMI) [1].
