Automated oscillometric BP monitors must be validated according to international standards before clinical and home use. This study aimed to evaluate the accuracy of the YuWell YE680B automated upper-arm BP monitor in accordance with the ISO 81060-2:2018 Universal Standard and its amendments, Amd.1:2020 and Amd.2:2024. A validation study was conducted using the same-arm sequential measurement method in a mixed population of adults and children aged greater than or equal to 3 years. Reference BP measurements were obtained by two trained observers using a calibrated mercury sphygmomanometer and a dual-head stethoscope. Device accuracy was assessed according to ISO criteria 1 and 2, and agreement was evaluated using Bland-Altman analysis. A total of 100 participants contributed to 300 valid paired measurements. The mean difference (test - reference) was -0.3 ± 6.77 mmHg for SBP and 0.4 ± 6.08 mmHg for DBP, fulfilling the requirements of ISO criterion 1. The SD of the participant-level mean differences was 5.81 mmHg for SBP and 5.32 mmHg for DBP, meeting the thresholds of ISO criterion 2. Bland-Altman analysis demonstrated good agreement across the measured BP range, with differences evenly distributed across the supported arm circumference range (17-52 cm). The YuWell YE680B automated upper-arm BP monitor met the accuracy requirements of ISO 81060-2:2018/Amd.1:2020/Amd.2:2024 in a mixed population of adults and children aged greater than or equal to 3 years. These findings support its use for BP measurement in clinical and home settings.</p>","PeriodicalId":8950,"journal":{"name":"Blood Pressure Monitoring","volume":" ","pages":"198-203"},"PeriodicalIF":1.0,"publicationDate":"2026-08-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148155008","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"医学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Three aspects are crucial for improving the agreement between the device and the reference BP which depend on the quality of the laboratory and the experience of the investigators: (a) the choice of the most appropriate cuff in relation to the subject's arm size. As shown by Marks and Groch the measurement error gradually and remarkably increases in a linear fashion when the optimal cuff width/arm circumference ratio is not achieved. This mandates that in expert laboratories numerous cuffs should be available with progressively increasing bladder width. (b) Minimizing patient's BP variability during testing is the most challenging goal to achieve for reducing the SD of the between-method BP differences. Habituation to the medical environment can be increased by prolonging the pretest interval to 15-30 min. (c) The laboratory must be of high standard both in terms of environmental conditions and available instrumentation. A perfect harmony and interrelationship of the team members in the various stages of the test must be achieved. This condition is acquired through a long period of formal education and supervised practice. Recently, several validation studies have achieved bias and precision far below the minimum required criteria probably due to a more careful and rigorous assessment of performance.
