Accurate
BpTRU monitors are designed to provide consistently accurate measurements. Without an operator's assistance, BpTRU monitors take 6 readings, discard the first one and automatically compute the average of 5 readings. This patented method allows BpTRU machines to minimize the white coat response and provide readings that more accurately represent the patient's true blood pressure.
Our displays have large colored LED displays that are easy to read from any angle - reducing transcription errors. The control buttons, which are large, color-coded, and easy to understand, allow the operator to start the measurement cycle with just one button push - reducing operator errors.
BPM monitors have been independently validated in a controlled clinical trial against two trained observers performing the auscultation method using the 5th Korotkoff sound for the diastolic measurements.

Clinically Proven Accuracy
"The use of a single measurement to define
a patient's blood pressure would over diagnose
hypertension in 20% - 30% of the population
and miss a third who are truly hypertensive."
Mcalister, F.A. et al,
BMJ 2001; 322; 908-911
"The BpTRU ... increases the accuracy of BP measurements by reducing the observer
errors
such as digit bias, zero preference, incorrect deflation rates and failure to perform multiple BP measurements."
Graves, J.W. et al,
journal of Human Hypertension 2003, 17 823-827
Choosing the BpTRU over Mercury
Studies have shown that:
| » |
Both aneroid and Mercury devices are often significantly out of calibration |
| » |
Many are used in situations without a maintenance or calibration protocol |
| » |
Observer bias remains a general problem |
| » |
Mercury is a known environmental risk that is being phased out in most jurisdictions |
