Key result
The UA-704 semi-automatic device achieved a British Hypertension Society grade A/A, with an average difference from mercury sphygmomanometer of -1.85±4.26 mmHg for systolic blood pressure.

Does the UA-704 semi-automatic device accurately measure blood pressure compared to a mercury sphygmomanometer in adults?
Effect estimate: Average difference -1.85±4.26 mmHg for SBP and -1.44±3.97 mmHg for DBP
The UA-704 semi-automatic blood pressure device achieved an A/A grade according to the British Hypertension Society protocol and is recommended for home blood pressure monitoring.
Kobalava et al. (2005) conducted an observational in Blood pressure measurement (n=85). UA-704 semi-automatic arm-type device vs. Mercury calibrated sphygmomanometer was evaluated on Difference between mercury sphygmomanometer and UA-704 readings (British Hypertension Society protocol) (Average difference -1.85±4.26 mmHg for SBP and -1.44±3.97 mmHg for DBP). The UA-704 semi-automatic device achieved a British Hypertension Society grade A/A, with an average difference from mercury sphygmomanometer of -1.85±4.26 mmHg for systolic blood pressure.
