Key result
The A&D UA-631 blood pressure monitor satisfied ESH accuracy levels for both SBP and DBP, with mean differences from observers of 2 +/- 5 mmHg for SBP and 1 +/- 3 mmHg for DBP.

Does the A&D UA-631 blood pressure monitor provide accurate measurements compared to a mercury standard in human subjects?
The A&D UA-631 blood pressure monitor satisfies ESH accuracy levels, with better performance in subjects with stiffer arteries.
Longo et al. (2002) conducted an observational in Blood pressure monitoring (n=66). A&D UA-631 (UA-779 Life Source) blood pressure monitor vs. Mercury standard (observers) was evaluated on Accuracy according to ESH recommendations. The A&D UA-631 blood pressure monitor satisfied ESH accuracy levels for both SBP and DBP, with mean differences from observers of 2 +/- 5 mmHg for SBP and 1 +/- 3 mmHg for DBP.
