Do the Omron RS8, RS6, and RS3 wrist-type blood pressure monitors provide accurate measurements compared to a standard mercury sphygmomanometer?
The Omron RS8, RS6, and RS3 wrist-type blood pressure monitors are accurate and suitable for home blood pressure monitoring.
Takahashi et al. (2013) conducted an observational in Blood pressure monitoring. Omron RS8, RS6, and RS3 wrist-type blood pressure monitors vs. Standard mercury sphygmomanometer was evaluated on Difference in blood pressure readings compared to standard mercury sphygmomanometer. The Omron RS8, RS6, and RS3 wrist-type blood pressure monitors produced readings within 3 mmHg of a standard mercury sphygmomanometer, fulfilling European Society of Hypertension guidelines.
