Does the Pangao PG-800A36 automatic wrist blood pressure monitor accurately measure blood pressure compared to a mercury sphygmomanometer?
The Pangao PG-800A36 automatic wrist blood pressure monitor meets the accuracy requirements of the ESH-IP and BHS protocols and is recommended for self-measurement in the general population.
May support self-BP monitoring with this device; leaves open validation in hypertensive or elderly subgroups.
OBJECTIVE: The aim of this study was to validate the PG-800A36 automatic wrist blood pressure monitor according to the European Society of Hypertension International Protocol (ESH-IP) revision 2010 and the British Hypertension Society (BHS) protocols. PARTICIPANTS AND METHODS: A total of 33 participants were initially included on the basis of the ESH-IP, followed by examination of 85 participants according to the BHS protocol. The procedures and analysis methods of the protocols were followed precisely with left arm/wrist sequential measurements by two trained observers using a mercury sphygmomanometer and one supervisor using the device. RESULTS: The device passed the ESH-IP with an average difference of 1.45±6.46 mmHg for systolic blood pressure and 1.25±5.10 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure. Furthermore, the A/A grade of the BHS protocol was achieved with an average difference of 1.84±6.94 mmHg for systolic blood pressure and 1.15±6.49 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure, and thus, the device also fulfilled the requirements of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation. CONCLUSION: The Pangao PG-800A36 passed the requirements of the ESH-IP revision 2010 and achieved the A/A grade of the BHS protocol, which can be recommended for self-measurement in the general population.

Zhao et al. (2017) conducted an observational in Blood pressure measurement (n=85). Pangao PG-800A36 automatic wrist blood pressure monitor vs. Mercury sphygmomanometer was evaluated on Average difference in systolic and diastolic blood pressure compared to mercury sphygmomanometer (ESH-IP SBP difference 1.45±6.46 mmHg; DBP difference 1.25±5.10 mmHg). The Pangao PG-800A36 wrist blood pressure monitor passed the ESH-IP and achieved an A/A grade in the BHS protocol, with an average BHS SBP difference of 1.84±6.94 mmHg.
