The WatchBP Ofce Central has been validated against simultaneous recorded intra-arterial blood pressure measurement, which is the gold standard for
validation of central blood pressure measurement, and showed extreme high accuracy
1
. The WatchBP central has passed the validation protocol of the BHS
for accuracy in blood pressure measurement (A/A) and is equipped with innovative screening tools such as:
• An implemented atrial brillation (Ab) detection system that has proven excellent accuracy
2, 3
and is ofcially recommendation by the National Institute of
Clinical health and Excellence (NICE) in the UK
4
.
• Two arm cuffs that allow simultaneous blood pressure measurement of both arms for accurate determination of inter-arm blood pressure differences
5, 6
.
This mode is highly supported by the latest ESH guidelines (2013) stating that Inter-arm difference in blood pressure is only meaningful when obtained from
simultaneous arm blood pressure measurement
7
.
• Ankle-brachial index (ABI) performance that is validated against Doppler for accuracy with positive results and additionally showed that the assessment led
to a signicant time reduction as compared to Doppler
8
. Finally, the automated calculation of the ABI value guarantees uniformity and prevents errors due to
registration and calculation failures
