Omron HEM-9600T

Description:

The Omron HEM-9600T is an automatic blood pressure monitor. Its blood pressure measurement technology has been proven to be accurate, with a 2-star Medaval rating. Blood pressure measurements are taken from the wrist. It is intended for self-measurement and home use.

Assessment:

The technology used in the Omron HEM-9600T, to measure blood pressure, has passed in a clinical validation study, in a general population, according to a recognised standard protocol, as published in a peer-reviewed publication.

Recommendations:

	Accuracy Assessment	Recommendation	Basis
BP	Medaval	★★ Recommendation	Recent clinical validation; recent protocol
BP	Stride BP	Self-measurement for adults (Unavailable)	Published evidence

Validation of a wrist-type home nocturnal blood pressure monitor in the sitting and supine position according to the ANSI/AAMI/ISO81060-2:2013 guidelines: Omron HEM-9600T. J Clin Hypertens (Greenwich). 2019 Apr;21(4):463-469. Epub: 2019 Jan 4. doi: 10.1111/jch.13464. PMID: 30609129. Available from: onlinelibrary.wiley.com.

81060-2:2013 - Pass Sitting position

81060-2:2013 - Fail Supine position, palm sideways

81060-2:2013 - Fail Supine position, palm upwards

81060-2:2013 - Pass Supine position, palm downwards

This study indicates that the Omron HEM-9600T is suitable for blood pressure measurement in the seated position, with the wrist positioned correctly. However, it is not suitable for its intended use in measuring nocturnal pressure.
