Global manufacturing

Over 20% of UK adults have hypertension

Hypertension increases the risk of developing other health conditions.

Hypertension puts blood vessels under constant stress and damages the artery walls, making them weaker. This makes it more likely to develop clots due to poor blood flow. It can also damage arteries to the point of bursting or tearing, which can lead to internal bleeding.

What is clinical validation?

Clinical validation is a formal study comparing the accuracy of a blood pressure monitor relative to the measurement of a clinical observer using a mercury sphygmomanometer and stethoscope on a patient.

Clinical validation is comprised of a three major components:

  • Utilisation of modern protocols
  • Independent verification of accuracy
  • Publication in a peer-reviewed journal

Ensure the cuff is the correct size

Ensure the monitor is clinically validated

30 minutes before you take your measurement, do not exercise, do not drink coffee, caffeinated drink, or alcohol, and do not smoke. Sit quietly for 5-10 minutes to relax.

  1. Sit on a chair with your back straight, your legs uncrossed, and your feet flat on the floor.
  2. Place the cuff securely on the arm. Rest your arm on a table for support and make sure the cuff is at heart level.
  3. Press start. During your measurement, do not talk or move.
