Description:
The Boots 56-90-404 (HEM-7041-BS) 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 upper arm. It is intended for self-measurement and home use. This device is now obsolete.
Assessment:
While the technology used in the Boots 56-90-404 (HEM-7041-BS), to measure blood pressure, has been declared as being equivalent to that used in a clinically validated device, no evidence has been published to show that the devices have been compared according to a protocol compliant with (EU) 2017/745 and MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4.
Recommendations:
Accuracy AssessmentRecommendationBasis
BP Medaval None Although equivalence to another device is claimed, this has not been tested to MDR requirements.
BP BIHS (UK and IRL) Previous recommendation, now archived (Archived) Manufacturer declaration of equivalence to the Omron M3-I (HEM-7051-E)
BP ESH (Europe) Self-measurement The BIHS recommendation, despite the absence, at the time, of the scientific evidence required by the same authors' criteria.
