Description:
The A&D UA-731 is an automatic blood pressure monitor. Although its blood pressure measurement technology has been evaluated, it is not possible to base a determination on its accuracy from this research. Blood pressure measurements are taken from the upper arm. It is intended for self-measurement and home use. This device is now obsolete.
Assessment:
The technology used in the A&D UA-731, to measure blood pressure, has been assessed, in general and specific populations, according to non-standard protocols.
Recommendations:
