A&D UM-101 - Medaval

Description:

The A&D UM-101 is a desk (tabletop) manually-operated mercury-free sphygmomanometer. 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 professional use.

Assessment:

The technology used in the A&D UM-101, to measure blood pressure, has passed in four clinical validation studies, between general and pregnancy populations, according to recognised standard protocols, as published in peer-reviewed publications.

Recommendations:

	Accuracy Assessment	Recommendation	Basis
BP	Medaval	★ Recommendation	Older clinical validation; older protocol; multiple clinical validations
