OBJECTIVE: To compare readings obtained using two automated blood pressure (BP) recording devices, BpTRU and Omron 907, in a clinical setting. METHODS: Two series of 50 patients attending a hypertension unit for 24-h ambulatory BP monitoring had BP recorded either every 1 or every 2 min using BpTRU and Omron 907 devices with the order of the measurements being randomized. RESULTS: No significant differences for systolic BP between the mean readings taken using the BpTRU or Omron 907 recorders at either 1 or 2 min were observed. Diastolic BP readings were similar using the 1-min interval setting but were 5.0 mmHg lower for the Omron 907 (P<0.001) when readings were taken at 2-min intervals. CONCLUSION: BP measurements can be made in the clinical setting using either the BpTRU or Omron 907 automated sphygmomanometers.
