This study validated the RisingSun RS-651 blood pressure (BP) monitor based on auscultation in adults according to the American National Standards Institute/Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation/International Organization for Standardization (ANSI/AAMI/ISO) 81060-2:2013 standard. The RS-651 device was evaluated in a study of 97 participants. The same arm simultaneous method...

208 January 2015 The systematic review and meta-analysis by Kim et al.1 raise important questions regarding the correct way to technically evaluate the new generation of continuous noninvasive arterial pressure monitors (CNBP). Continuous noninvasive arterial pressure monitors devices have been designed to extend the physiological information available regarding a patient’s hemodynamic status. ...

As the clinical applications for 24-h ambulatory blood pressure monitoring expand, market demands increase, and there are now at least 13 manufacturers producing elaborate and expensive systems for recording 24-h ambulatory pressures. It is often difficult to assess the accuracy and performance characteristics of these devices and failure to standardize validation makes it difficult to compare ...

background: hemodialysis is a life-saving process used as a treatment for many patients sufferimg from renal failure. because of the large amount of water used in this process, contamination of hemodialysis water with microbial and harmful chemical pollutants is possible. therefore, considering standards of dialysis water is critical. the aim of this study was to investigate the microbiological...

BACKGROUND Experience with the original protocols of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) and the British Hypertension Society (BHS) for validating blood pressure has provided valuable insight into the methodological problems associated with device validation and has influenced both the BHS and the AAMI in revising their protocols. OBJECTIVES To review the rev...

The SpaceLabs 90202, a non-invasive ambulatory blood pressure recorder for the measurement of 24 hr blood pressure, was assessed according to the standard of the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI) and the grading criteria of the British Hypertension Society (BHS) protocol were applied to the results. Two observers measured BP simultaneously in the same arm with th...

Arterial blood pressure is not only an important index that must be measured in routine physical examination but also a key monitoring parameter of the cardiovascular system cardiac surgery, drug testing, and intensive care. To improve measurement accuracy continuous pressure, this paper uses photoplethysmography (PPG) signals to estimate diastolic systolic based on ensemble empirical mode deco...
