Description:

The Omron HEM-400C 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 upper arm. It is intended for self-measurement and home use. This device is now obsolete.

Assessment:

The technology used in the Omron HEM-400C, to measure blood pressure, has been assessed, in a general population, according to a non-standard protocol.

Recommendations:

	Accuracy Assessment	Recommendation	Basis
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.
