Key result
OMRON-MIT meets AAMI accuracy criteria with ~2 mmHg mean difference versus standard mercury sphygmomanometry.
Why the study?
The accuracy of the OMRON-MIT automated inflationary oscillometric blood pressure device needed evaluation against standard auscultatory mercury sphygmomanometry in the general population.
Does the OMRON-MIT automated inflationary oscillometric blood pressure monitor provide accurate measurements compared to standard auscultatory mercury sphygmomanometry in the general adult population?

Does the OMRON-MIT automated inflationary oscillometric blood pressure monitor provide accurate measurements compared to standard auscultatory mercury sphygmomanometry in the general adult population?
Mean Difference: -2
The OMRON-MIT inflationary oscillometric blood pressure monitor is accurate and meets standard validation criteria for clinical use in adults.
Golara et al. (2002) conducted a cross-sectional in Blood pressure measurement. OMRON-MIT automated inflationary oscillometric blood pressure monitoring device vs. Standard auscultatory mercury sphygmomanometry was evaluated on Accuracy of systolic and diastolic blood pressure measurement (MD -2.0 +/- 7 mmHg for SBP and -2.0 +/- 6 mmHg for DBP). The OMRON-MIT device met AAMI criteria with a mean difference of -2.0 ± 7 mmHg for SBP and -2.0 ± 6 mmHg for DBP compared to standard mercury sphygmomanometry.
