This device has been discontinued by the manufacturer but may be available through certain outlets.

Assessment:

The technology used in the Braun BP-4900, to measure blood pressure, has been compared to a clinically validated device, but not according to a protocol compliant 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	ESH (Europe)	Self-measurement	Published evidence
