Purpose:
The performance of Omron HEM-1026 (HCR-1901T2 / HCR-1902T2) for monitoring blood pressure (BP) in the upper arm was validated in accordance with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 81060-2:2018+amendment (Amd)1:2020 protocol.
Methods:
The device was assessed in 101 participants who fulfilled the inclusion criteria, including arm circumference range and systolic and diastolic BP provided by the protocol. Data validation and analysis were performed according to the manufacturer's instructions.
Results:
In the ISO 81060-2:2018+Amd 1:2020 validation procedure (criterion 1), the mean ± standard deviation (SD) of the differences between the test device and reference BP was -2.1 ± 7.24/-0.6 ± 5.63 mmHg (systolic/diastolic). These data fulfilled the ISO81060-2:2018+Amd1:2020 requirement of ≤5±≤8 mmHg. The mean differences between the two observers and Omron HEM-1026 were -2.1 ± 5.71 mmHg for systolic BP and -0.6 ± 4.81 mmHg for diastolic BP, fulfilling criterion 2 with an SD of ≤ 6.62 for systolic BP and ≤ 6.91 for diastolic BP. The two ISO criteria were fulfilled.
Conclusion:
The Omron HEM-1026 BP monitor fulfilled the requirements of the ISO 81060-2:2018+Amd 1:2020 validation standard and can be recommended for home BP measurements in the general 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...
