Abstract:
18 years of age were enrolled. The blood pressure measurements at the wrist were compared with the results obtained by auscultatory measurement on left upper arm. Both measurements were taken 3 times in each person. A total 273 measurements were obtained in 91 participants. The evaluation of the accuracy was assessed by 2 statistical methods. (1)The differences between the 2 devices for a given measurement. (2) The differences between the 2 devices for a given person. Results Method 1 showed the sample mean errors and standard deviation of errors were 0.5?7.1 mm Hg for systolic blood pressure(SBP) and -1.6?6.1 mm Hg for diastolic blood pressure(DBP). Method 2 showed they were 0.5?6.1 mm Hg for SBP and -1.6?5.3 mm Hg for DBP. Blood pressure level and the wrist circumferences had no influence on the measurement errors. Conclusion The HEM-6000 wrist blood pressure device apparently met the AAMI criteria and is valid for patient self-measurement.
