Objective:
To assure the accuracy and reliability of blood pressure measurement by non-invasive blood pressure monitor using Datascope Accutorr Plus™ (Paramus, NJ, USA) against mercury manometer, among adult male participants.
Method:
Eighty participants from a family physician's office at a teaching hospital were recruited. One hundred and sixty measurements of blood pressure were performed according to BHS technique protocol.
Statistical Analysis:
Descriptive analysis was done according to the AAMI and BHS protocol guidelines. The limits of agreement between the device and the standard were plotted using the method of Bland and Altman plot.
Results:
The mean difference ± SD between the Datascope Acutorr Plus™ and observer was 2.7 ± 5.2 mm Hg and 1.5 ± 3.26 mm Hg for systolic and diastolic blood pressure, respectively. Datascope Acutorr Plus™ obtained A/A grading for both systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Conclusion:
Datascope Accutorr Plus™ (Paramus, NJ, USA) satisfies BHS and AAMI validation protocols for both systolic and diastolic BP and may be recommended for everyday use for BP monitoring at home and in clinical use for adult population.

This invasive approach involves cannulating a peripheral artery. During each cardiac contraction, pressure generates mechanical motion within the catheter, transmitted through rigid, fluid-filled tubing to a transducer. This transducer converts mechanical motion into electrical signals displayed as waveforms on a monitor. An automatic flushing system prevents blood backflow. Due to the potential risk of unexpected arterial blood loss, this method is primarily used in intensive...
