 on opposite arms at the same time or

The calibrated reference manometers shall comply with the requirements of EN 1060-1 to EN 1060-3 but shall not exceed error limits of 1 mmHg (0,1 kPa) with dropping cuff pressure prior to the start of the clinical investigation. NOTE 2
The reference manometer should be calibrated before and after the clinical investigation. When the reference manometer is linked to the pneumatic system of the tested device (e.g. test method N2), an aneroid manometer should be used. Mercury manometer may alter pneumatic characteristics (resonant frequency, damping coefficient) and should not be used in this case. 4.2 General information on the invasive reference methods The clinical investigation shall be performed in accordance with EN ISO 14155–1 and EN ISO 14155–2. The invasive blood pressure measuring system consisting of catheter, pressure transducer, monitor and recording device shall be statically calibrated so that the indicated values do not deviate from the values indicated by the reference manometer (see 4.5.1.1 a) by more than ± 2 mmHg. Prior to and after each series of measurements the resonant frequency and damping coefficient of the system shall be determined [1]. Except for devices measuring in the neonatal mode, the comparison shall be carried out by invasive and non-invasive blood pressure measurement on the same arm. The simultaneous measurement on opposite arms is permissible if no lateral difference has been determined by additional measurements. NOTE Intra-arterial methods are invasive and should not be used for patients or subjects solely for the purpose of validating instrument performance, but conducted on clinical patients in whom an intra-arterial line has already been placed for reasons other than sphygmomanometer verification. 4.3 Selection of clinical test method The selection of the clinical test method is dependent on the measurement technique, the application of the sphygmomanometers to be tested and the intended application of the device and shall be in accordance with

is the systolic blood pressure value indicated by the sphygmomanometer under test; pSYSa
is the auscultatory mean systolic blood pressure value determined by the observers; pDIAt
is the diastolic blood pressure value indicated by the sphygmomanometer under test; pDIAa
is the auscultatory mean diastolic blood pressure value determined by the observers. The arithmetic mean values and the empirical standard deviations shall be calculated for the measurements at rest and under physical load/during exercise, if applicable. The mean values are
DIASYS,pp∆∆ and the related empirical standard deviations are s (∆pSYS), s (∆pDIA)
4.9.2.2 Blood pressure measurement on opposite arms (also ambulatory) To obtain correct result from the evaluation described below, compliance with 5.2.1.3 is required.
For the evaluation of the test methods (N2 and N6) six lateral differences ∆prl shall be determined separately for the systolic and diastolic blood pressure values as follows: ∆pSYSrl = pSYSr – pSYSl (3) ∆pDIArl = pDIAr – pDIAl (4) where pSYSr
is the systolic blood pressure value of
the right arm measured by the observer pSYSl
is the systolic blood pressure value of
the left arm measured by the observer pDIAr
is the diastolic blood pressure value of
the right arm measured by the observer pDIAl
is the diastolic blood pressure value of
the left arm measured by the observer SIST EN 1060-4:2005

rlDIAp∆≤ 15 mmHg.
and s (∆pSYSrl) ≤ 8 mmHg s (∆pDIArl) ≤ 8 mmHg The correction of the auscultatory reference blood pressure values (pSYSausc, PDIAa) of the paired measurement shall be calculated as follows: pSYSref = pSYSausc – rlSYSp (5) pDIAref = PDIAa – rlDIAp (6) where pSYSausc is the auscultatory mean systolic blood pressure value determined by the observers at the right arm PDIAa is the auscultatory mean diastolic blood pressure value determined by the observers at the right arm The arithmetic mean values and the empirical standard deviations shall be calculated for the measurements at rest and during exercise, if applicable. ∆pSYS = pSYSt – pSYSref (7) ∆pDIA = pDIAt – pDIAref (8) where pSYSt is the systolic blood pressure value indicated by the sphygmomanometer under test applied at the left arm; pDIAt is the diastolic blood pressure value indicated by the sphygmomanometer under test applied at the left arm; From these, the arithmetic mean values and the appertaining empirical standard deviations shall be calculated from the differences of the blood pressure values of all subjects and the measurements at rest and during exercise, if applicable.
