Key result
The Omron HBP-1300 blood pressure device was accurate in pregnant women, with mean device-observer differences of 3±6 and 1±6 mmHg for systolic BP in medium and large cuffs, respectively.

The Omron HBP-1300 automated blood pressure device provides accurate measurements in pregnant women with medium or large arm circumferences, meeting the British Hypertension Society protocol.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to validate the Omron HBP-1300 oscillometric blood pressure (BP) device according to the British Hypertension Society validation protocol, in pregnant women of both medium-arm and large-arm circumferences. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: BP was measured sequentially in 72 women of any gestation requiring the use of a large-size (N=36, arm circumference ≥33 cm) or medium-size cuff (N=36, arm circumference <33 cm) alternating between a mercury sphygmomanometer and the Omron HBP-1300 device. RESULTS: The Omron HBP-1300 is accurate in pregnancy with a mean device-observer difference of 3±6 and 1±6 mmHg for systolic BP and 2±5 and 3±6 mmHg for diastolic BP in women requiring the use of the medium and large cuff, respectively. CONCLUSION: The Omron HBP-1300-automated BP device can be recommended for use in pregnant women with medium-arm or large-arm circumferences.

Abbud et al. (2018) conducted a cross-sectional in Pregnancy (n=72). Omron HBP-1300 oscillometric blood pressure device vs. Mercury sphygmomanometer was evaluated on Mean device-observer difference for systolic and diastolic BP (Mean difference 3±6 and 1±6 mmHg (systolic) and 2±5 and 3±6 mmHg (diastolic) for medium and large cuffs). The Omron HBP-1300 blood pressure device was accurate in pregnant women, with mean device-observer differences of 3±6 and 1±6 mmHg for systolic BP in medium and large cuffs, respectively.
