Key Points

To evaluate the measurement accuracy of the Omron 637IT wrist blood pressure monitor equipped with a position sensor against a standard mercury sphygmomanometer in adults and obese adults under the International Protocol.
Screened 131 participants to assess device performance in 33 adults with standard arm circumferences and 33 obese adults with arm circumferences ≥ 34 cm.
Conducted nine sequential blood pressure measurements per participant (yielding 99 paired comparisons per group) comparing the wrist device with two trained observers using a mercury sphygmomanometer across phase 1 and phase 2 validation.
In the standard adult group (N=33), mean discrepancy between the device and sphygmomanometer was 0.5 ± 6.2 mmHg for systolic BP and 0.1 ± 3.7 mmHg for diastolic BP, passing phases 1 and 2.
In the obese adult group (N=33), mean discrepancy was 1.8 ± 6.6 mmHg for systolic BP and 1.6 ± 4.7 mmHg for diastolic BP, successfully meeting the pass criteria for phases 1 and 2.

Does the Omron 637IT wrist blood pressure device accurately measure blood pressure compared to a mercury sphygmomanometer in adults and obese adults?

Population

131 adult and obese adult participants, including a subgroup with arm circumferences ≥34 cm

Intervention

Blood pressure measurement using the Omron 637IT wrist blood pressure device

Comparator

Blood pressure measurement using a mercury sphygmomanometer by two trained observers

Outcome

Accuracy of blood pressure measurement according to the International Protocol criteria (mean discrepancies and standard deviations)surrogate

The Omron 637IT wrist blood pressure device meets International Protocol criteria for accuracy and can be recommended for use in both general and obese adult populations.
