Omron HEM-6121 (HEM-6121-AP)

Description:

The Omron HEM-6121 (HEM-6121-AP) 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 wrist. It is intended for self-measurement and home use.

Assessment:

While the technology used in the Omron HEM-6121 (HEM-6121-AP), to measure blood pressure, has been declared, on the manufacturer website, 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 Assessment	Recommendation	Basis
BP	Medaval	None	Although equivalence to another device is claimed, this has not been tested to MDR requirements.
