Description:
The AtCor Sphygmocor CP 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 radial artery. It is intended for professional use including central aortic pressure.
Assessment:
The technology used in the AtCor Sphygmocor CP, to measure blood pressure, has been assessed, in a general population, according to a non-standard protocol.
Recommendations:
Accuracy AssessmentRecommendationBasis
BP Medaval None When an evaluation is carried out using a non-standard protocol, no inference can be made on accuracy based on a standard protocol.
