Electromagnetic Emission Compliance

The BPM-100 complies with following Electromagnetic Em mission tests:

Test Compliance Guidance
RF emissions
CISPR 11: 2003
Group 1 The BPM-100 uses RF energy only for their internal function.
Therefore, their RF emissions are very low and are not likely to cause
any interference in nearby electronic equipment.
RF emissions
CISPR 11: 2003
Class A The BPM-100 is suitable for use in all establishments other than
domestic and those directly connected to the public low-voltage power
supply network that supplies buildings used for domestic purposes.

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
