Validated Blood Pressure Monitors List

Validated Blood Pressure Monitors

Below are links to the blood pressure measuring devices that have been tested according to the revised BHS protocol (1993) and/or the International Protocol and/or the AAMI Protocol, that have met the BHS criteria and that are currently available in the UK. To meet these criteria, devices must achieve a minimum B grade for both systolic and diastolic measurements for the revised BHS protocol or pass the accepted criteria of the International Protocol or the AAMI Protocol. The references for each of these protocols can be found on the 'Publications' page of this website.

We have not listed devices that have not been tested by these protocols or those that have been tested and failed to meet the criteria. A major step forward would be the establishment of an independent agency to test blood pressure devices to set standards.
