Key result
The Omron M6 upper-arm blood pressure monitor passed the International Protocol criteria in elderly patients, with mean discrepancies of 1.4±5.3 mmHg for SBP and -1.4±4.5 mmHg for DBP.

Does the Omron M6 upper-arm blood pressure device provide accurate measurements compared to a mercury sphygmomanometer in elderly patients?
Effect estimate: 1.4+/-5.3 mmHg for SBP and -1.4+/-4.5 mmHg for DBP
The Omron M6 upper-arm blood pressure monitor is accurate and reliable for use in elderly patients according to the International Protocol.
Altunkan et al. (2008) conducted an observational in Blood pressure measurement (n=33). Omron M6 (HEM-7001-E) upper-arm blood pressure device vs. Mercury sphygmomanometer was evaluated on Mean discrepancies and standard deviations of the device versus mercury sphygmomanometer (1.4+/-5.3 mmHg for SBP and -1.4+/-4.5 mmHg for DBP). The Omron M6 upper-arm blood pressure monitor passed the International Protocol criteria in elderly patients, with mean discrepancies of 1.4±5.3 mmHg for SBP and -1.4±4.5 mmHg for DBP.
