Measurements from the Omron R2 (HEM-6113-FR) are compared to those from the Omron PA-350 (BPM tester), though not in a formal validation.
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.
