Blood pressure monitoring · Oct 2000
A simulation-based evaluation of nine oscillometric blood pressure monitors for self-measurement.
To evaluate the performance of nine self-measurement oscillometric blood pressure monitors using a simulator. ⋯ The nine monitors in general performed differently with respect to the simulator. The results cannot be used fully to reflect the monitors' performance on human subjects because they were not based on clinical evaluation. Studies that lead to a more realistic simulation of oscillometric blood pressure are needed. Protocols integrating both clinical and simulation-based evaluations need to be developed.
