Description:
The A&D TM-2656VPW is a waiting-room blood pressure monitor. The accuracy of its blood pressure measurement technology has yet to be proven to MDR requirements. Blood pressure measurements are taken from the upper arm. It is intended for use as a public facility. This device has been discontinued by the manufacturer but may be available through certain outlets.
Assessment:
The technology used in the A&D TM-2656VPW, to measure blood pressure, has been compared to a clinically validated device, but the results of the equivalence study have not been published and cannot be verified; nor can the protocol be checked for compliance with (EU) 2017/745 and MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4.
Recommendations:
| Accuracy Assessment | Recommendation | Basis | |
| BP | Medaval | None | Although equivalence to another device is claimed, this has not been tested to MDR requirements. |
| BP | Japanese Society of Hypertension | Self-measurement and professional use (Previous: 2016-2022) | Implied equivalence to the A&D TM-2656 |
