Key result
Transtek TMB-1776 upper-arm monitor successfully meets ESH-IP 2010 validation requirements for blood pressure measurement accuracy.
Why the study?
Accuracy of the Transtek TMB-1776 upper-arm blood pressure monitor in adults needed validation according to the ESH International Protocol revision 2010.
Does the Transtek TMB-1776 upper-arm blood pressure monitor provide accurate blood pressure measurements compared to a reference mercury sphygmomanometer in adult subjects?

Does the Transtek TMB-1776 upper-arm blood pressure monitor provide accurate blood pressure measurements compared to a reference mercury sphygmomanometer in adult subjects?
The Transtek TMB-1776 upper-arm blood pressure monitor meets the ESH-IP 2010 validation requirements and is suitable for self/home blood pressure measurement in adults.
May support clinical use of Transtek TMB-1776; leaves open need for independent validation in broader populations.
In the present study, accuracy of Transtek TMB-1776 upper-arm blood pressure monitor in adult subjects was determined by comparing with a non-invasive (auscultatory) reference mercury sphygmomanometer, following the European Society of Hypertension International Protocol revision 2010 (ESH-IP 2010). All the validation requirement were reached: 74, 93, and 98 of systolic blood pressure measurements and 86, 97, and 99 of diastolic blood pressure measurements were within 5, 10, and 15 mmHg of absolute difference, respectively. The mean ± SD device-observer difference was -1.2 ± 4.9 mmHg for systolic blood pressure and -0.7 ± 3.5 mmHg for diastolic blood pressure. For systolic blood pressure and diastolic blood pressure, respectively, 25 and 30 of subjects had at least two of their three difference within 5 mmHg, and three and zero subject showed no difference within 5 mmHg. In conclusion, Transtek TMB-1776 has passed all phases of ESH-IP 2010 and is suitable for self/home blood pressure measurement of adults.

Liu et al. (2019) conducted an observational in Blood pressure measurement. Transtek TMB-1776 upper-arm blood pressure monitor vs. non-invasive (auscultatory) reference mercury sphygmomanometer was evaluated on Accuracy of blood pressure measurements according to ESH-IP 2010 (MD -1.2 mmHg (SBP) and -0.7 mmHg (DBP)). The Transtek TMB-1776 upper-arm blood pressure monitor met all ESH-IP 2010 validation requirements, with a mean device-observer difference of -1.2 ± 4.9 mmHg for SBP and -0.7 ± 3.5 mmHg for DBP.
