Objective To validate the ANDON KD-595 automated upper-arm blood pressure monitor for clinical use and self-measurement blood pressure measurement according to the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation/European Society of Hypertension/International Organization for Standardization (AAMI/ESH/ISO) Universal Standard. Methods Same left-arm blood pressure was sequentially measured in 90 qualified adult participants and compared with a standard mercury sphygmomanometer. A total of 270 comparison pairs were obtained and analyzed according to the universal standard. Results For the validation Criterion 1 of the universal standard, the mean ± SD of the differences between the test device and reference blood pressure readings was 0.96 ± 5.35 and 0.82 ± 5.08 mmHg for SBP and DBP, respectively. For Criterion 2, the SDs of the averaged blood pressure differences between the test device and reference blood pressure per subject were 4.84 and 4.64 mmHg (with maximum allowed SDs of 6.87 and 6.89 mmHg) for SBP and DBP, respectively. Conclusion The ANDON KD-595 automated upper-arm blood pressure monitor passed all the validation requirements according to the AAMI/ESH/ISO Universal Standard and can be recommended for clinical use and self-measurement blood pressure measurement in the general population.
