Accuracy Of The Central Blood Pressure Parameters; Map (Mean Arterial Pressure) - Microlife WatchBP Office Instruction Manual

Accuracy of the central blood pressure parameters

The accuracy of central blood pressure parameters performed with this device can only reliably
be determined against intra-arterial blood pressure measurement. The device is a certified
equivalence with the WatchBP Office Central that has been validated against simultaneous
recorded intra-arterial blood pressure measurement in 85 subjects and showed high

accuracy .

MAP (Mean Arterial Pressure)

The device measures the true mean arterial pressure (MAP) of the patient. Each measurement
includes a single MAP value. The MAP value will always be displayed together with the systolic
and diastolic blood pressure value.
