BpTRU machines' accuracy has been confirmed my clinical trials. Here are some of the relevant research papers:

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 |
