Implication

May warrant individual accuracy testing of home BP monitors; leaves open whether validation standards require revision.

Structured PICO

Does a proposed 3-stage sequential measurement method effectively evaluate the individual accuracy of home sphygmomanometers?

P
Population
Automated home sphygmomanometers (devices)
I
Intervention
A proposed 3-stage method using sequential blood pressure measurement taking approximately 10 min to evaluate individual accuracy
O
Outcome
Device accuracy categorization (accurate, acceptable, inaccurate, very inaccurate)surrogate

A proposed 3-stage method for evaluating home sphygmomanometers highlights that device validation does not guarantee individual accuracy, emphasizing the need for individual patient-device accuracy testing.
