About this study

Official title: Validation of a Hybrid Blood Pressure Monitor to Replace the Mercury Standard for Validation Studies According to Modified Criteria of the European Society of Hypertension International Protocol 2010

Assessment of the accuracy of a Blood Pressure Measuring Device with a digital display-column, NISSEI DM 3000, according to an adaptation of the "European Society of Hypertension International Protocol Revision 2010 for the Validation of Blood Pressure Measuring Devices in Adults".

Read the detailed description

According to the "European Society of Hypertension International Protocol Revision 2010 for the Validation of Blood Pressure Measuring Devices in Adults", 33 patients have their blood pressure measured by two observers using parallel connected mercury sphygmomanometers, blinded from each other's result, and then by the supervisor using the tested device, NISSEI DM 3000. The measurements using the mercury sphygmomanometers are repeated 5 times and in between them, 4 measurements using the tested device take place. If the results of the comparison of these measurements according to the analysis required by the protocol, meet the required criteria, the device is regarded as "Pass", otherwise as "Fail".

In this study, instead of consecutive, simultaneous measurements of the two mercury sphygmomanometers and tha tested device will be taking place. This will be so to exclude any inaccuracy due to blood pressure variability and because the tested device has a controllable deflation rate and allows simultaneous measurements with the mercury sphygmomanometers. In addition, the investigators will be performing 6 set of measurements instead of 4.

What participants receive

What participants receive. In a randomised study each person is assigned to one group by chance.

  • Blood Pressure MeasurementOther

    All patients have their blood pressure measured simultaneously by two observers using parallel connected mercury sphygmomanometers and by a supervisor using the tested device, NISSEI DM 3000. Six sets of measurements are performed.

What is being measured

The primary outcome is the main question the study is designed to answer.

  1. Systolic Blood Pressure Measured by Tested Device.

    Mean Systolic Blood pressure value of all BP measurements made by the tested device in all patients included in the analysis.

    Measured: 3 months

  2. Systolic Blood Pressure Measured With Mercury Sphygmomanometer.

    Mean Systolic Blood pressure value of all BP measurements made by the two observers with mercury sphygmomanometers in all patients included in the analysis.

    Measured: 3 months

  3. Diastolic Blood Pressure Measured by Tested Device.

    Mean Diastolic Blood pressure value of all BP measurements made by the tested device in all patients included in the analysis.

    Measured: 3 months

  4. Diastolic Blood Pressure Measured With Mercury Sphygmomanometer.

    Mean Diastolic Blood pressure value of all BP measurements made by the two observers with mercury sphygmomanometers in all patients included in the analysis.

    Measured: 3 months

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A Phase 4 study testing Blood Pressure Measurement in people with Essential Hypertension, run by University of Athens at 1 site in Greece.

The full registered description is in the About this study section and the official record.

Who may be eligible to take part?

The sponsor lists 3 inclusion and 5 exclusion criteria. Eligibility is decided by the study team after screening, so read the full criteria and contact a listed site.

Is this clinical trial currently recruiting?

The record says: finished, as of the sponsor's last update on 18 Apr 2012. Status can change between updates, so confirm with the study contact before making plans.

Where is the study taking place?

The record lists 1 site in Greece. Whether a site is taking part right now should be confirmed with that site. See every site.

What are the possible benefits and risks?

They depend on the study and the treatment, and no study can promise a benefit. The study team explains the known risks during informed consent, before anyone joins; the record itself does not list them.

What does this phase mean?

Phase 4 studies take place after a treatment is approved, to learn more about its long-term benefits and risks in everyday use.

Not every study follows the same path, and some studies (observational studies, device studies) have no phase.

Are results available for this study?

Yes. Results are posted in the registry (first posted 7 Mar 2012). A summary is in the For doctors view, and the full results are on ClinicalTrials.gov.

How can a doctor refer a patient or contact the research team?

The record lists no contact. The official record names the sponsor, who can be asked directly. AzTrials does not enrol participants or take referrals.

What does the primary outcome measure?

Systolic Blood Pressure Measured by Tested Device. (time frame: 3 months). The study lists 4 primary outcomes in all. It is what the study was designed to measure, not a finding.

Where can I read the original study information?
Does a listing mean the treatment is approved or proven to work?

No. A listing means the study is registered. It does not show that the treatment is safe, works, or is approved by a regulator.

How often is this information updated?

AzTrials copies changed records from ClinicalTrials.gov every night and reloads the whole registry every week. The sponsor last updated this record on 18 Apr 2012.
