Description:

The A&D UB-512H is an automatic 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 wrist. It is intended for self-measurement and home use.

Assessment:

The technology used in the A&D UB-512H, 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 (Previous: 2018)	Implied equivalence to the A&D UB-511 or UB-512

Device Family:

A&D UB-510J, A&D UB-511J, A&D UB-512J, A&D UB-511LJ, A&D UB-512HJ
Legend: J JHS Implied Equivalence

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.
