Clinical TrialValidation of two devices for self-measurement of blood pressure by elderly patients according to the revised British Hypertension Society protocol: the Omron HEM-722C and HEM-735C.
The validation of self-measurement devices for clinical use by elderly patients has been recommended. The Omron HEM-722C device has recently been validated according to the British Hypertension Society (BHS) protocol for use for general populations and the Omron HEM-735C is a new fully automatic device with a high capacity for storage of measurements that is integrated with a personal computer. ⋯ On the basis of these results, for elderly subjects both self-measurement devices (Omron HEM-722C and HEM-735C) satisfied the validation criteria of the BHS and therefore can be recommended for the clinical measurement of blood pressure in elderly patients.

Evaluation of the Schiller BR-102 ambulatory blood pressure system according to the protocols of the British Hypertension Society and the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation.
To evaluate the Schiller BR-102 monitor for ambulatory blood pressure measurement according to the protocols of the British Hypertension Society (BHS) and the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI). ⋯ On the basis of these results, the Schiller BR-102 can be recommended for ambulatory blood pressure measurement in clinical practice using the auscultatory mode, but the oscillometric mode, which operates only if the device fails in the auscultatory mode, does not provide accurate measurements.
