Accuracy of patient-owned blood pressure monitors compared to Omron PA350 monitor checker

This is a primary care based cross sectional survey, testing patients’ blood pressure (BP) monitors using the OMRON PA350 digital BP tester. Monitors will be inflated following a standard process as recommended by each monitor manufacturer and the British Hypertension Society, with a pass rate of +/- 3mmHg or less from the PA350 reading.
