Trial summary

The A\&D automatic blood pressure device is a new kiosk that can measure blood pressure in the general population. The investigators plan to use the existing International Standards Organization validation protocol to determine whether this device measures blood pressure accurately. Read more about this study

Methods and Analysis

Study methodology will follow the ISO protocol:

  • 85 adult (age 18 years or greater) subjects will be included (it is estimated that approximately 140 subjects will need to be screened as some will be ineligible). 85 is the recommended sample size for validation studies using the ISO protocol.
  • Subjects will be recruited via an existing registry of over 250 individuals that have participated in past measurement studies, through advertisements, and from the University of Alberta Hypertension Clinic.
  • Specific requirements for a certain percentage of subjects with specific age, sex, upper arm circumference, and baseline blood pressure levels will be observed to ensure that a representative sample is studied (according to the ISO standards).
  • Subjects that are pregnant or with atrial fibrillation will be excluded. Blood pressure measurements will be taken using recommended, optimal technique.
  • Nine measurements will be taken in each subject, alternating between blinded two-observer auscultation with a mercury-based sphygmomanometer (the reference standard) and the TM-2657. Careful attention will be paid to ensuring proper cuffing. The first two measurements will be discarded and the latter seven measurements (4 auscultatory and TM-2657 measurements) will be used in the analysis, which will be conducted according to ISO standards.
  • Accuracy will be assessed according to Criterion 1 and 2 of the ISO standard. Bland-Altman plots will be generated. A plot of measurement error versus arm circumference will be generated as well.

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

  • A&D TM-2657W oscillometric deviceDevice

    Assessing the accuracy of the A\&D TM-2657W oscillometric device using International Standards Organization validation protocol. This involves comparing the accuracy of the A\&D device to 2 observer mercury auscultation (gold standard).

Questions about this trial

What is this clinical trial studying?

A study testing A&D TM-2657W oscillometric device in people with Blood Pressure, run by University of Alberta at 1 site in Canada.

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 4 inclusion and 2 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 10 Apr 2020. 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 Canada. 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.

Are results available for this study?

The study is completed, but results are not available in the source record. That does not mean the treatment did or did not work.

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?

Accuracy per International Standards Organization Protocol (time frame: 3 months). 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 10 Apr 2020.
