Device Manual:
Description:
The Omron M6 (HEM-7001-E) is an automatic blood pressure monitor. Its blood pressure measurement technology has been proven to be accurate, with a 1-star Medaval rating. Blood pressure measurements are taken from the upper arm. It is intended for self-measurement and home use. This device has been discontinued by the manufacturer but may be available through certain outlets.
Assessment:
The technology used in the Omron M6 (HEM-7001-E), to measure blood pressure, has passed in four clinical validation studies, between general, young and other specific populations, according to recognised standard protocols, as published in peer-reviewed publications.

Measurements from the Omron M6 (HEM-7001-E) (device without "MaM" technology) are compared to those from the Microlife BP 3AC1-1 (a device with "MaM" technology), though not in a formal validation.

Validation Publications for Equivalent Devices:

Note: This is a provisional list, as equivalence according to EU Regulation 2017/745 (e.g. MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4) is not proven. Accordingly, these publications are not used in the assessment of star-ratings.
