Description:

The Riester ri-medic Desk is a desk (tabletop) patient monitor. The accuracy of its blood pressure measurement technology has yet to be proven to MDR requirements. Blood pressure measurements are taken from the upper arm. It is intended for bedside patient monitoring.

Assessment:

While the technology used in the Riester ri-medic Desk, to measure blood pressure, has been declared 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.
BP	BIHS (UK and IRL)	Hospital use	Manufacturer declaration of equivalence to the SunTech 247
BP	ESH (Europe)	Professional use	The BIHS recommendation, despite the absence, at the time, of the scientific evidence required by the same authors' criteria.
