Description:
The BpTru BPM-200 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 professional use. This device is now obsolete.
Assessment:
While the technology used in the BpTru BPM-200, 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:

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 BpTRU BPM-100
BP ESH (Europe) Professional use for adults and children The BIHS recommendation, despite the absence, at the time, of the scientific evidence required by the same authors' criteria.

Measurements from the BpTru BPM-200 are compared to those from the Microlife Watch BP Office, though not in a formal validation.

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.
