Validation of the Welch Allyn Pro BP 2000, a professional-grade inflation-based automated sphygmomanometer with arrhythmia detection in a combined pediatric and adult population by ANSI/AAMI/ISO standard testing

Conclusion The Pro BP 2000 uses an accurate inflationary algorithm. The time for each inflation/deflation cycle is short, thus improving patient comfort. There is also arrhythmia detection to caution the use of BP values obtained during irregular heart rhythms. The algorithm for the professional-grade Pro BP 2000 is also contained in the Home BP 1700, targeted for home use. This encourages out-of-office self-measurement. The healthcare professional can be confident that the values obtained at different sites are comparable.
