ModPG3 Adult/Ped ISO 81060-2:2018 Study Protocol

ModPG3 Adult and Pediatric AAMI (Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation) 2018 ISO Clinical Investigation Protocol of SureBP and StepBP Algorithms

Automated blood pressure cuff measurements taken by an "oscillometric device" is the standard in numerous medical settings today.

Studies show that oscillometric devices using algorithms are more accurate and consistent than devices using other non-invasive measuring techniques, especially in critical cases.

SureBP algorithm estimates BP during cuff inflation; the second, StepBP algorithm does so during deflation.

The purpose of this study is to test the algorithms contained in the ModPG3 on Adult and Pediatric subjects to determine if they meet the requirements of ISO 81060-2:2018/Amd 1:2020 Non-invasive sphygmomanometers - Part 2: Clinical investigation of intermittent automated measurement type

Inclusion Criteria:

• Subjects must be able to provide an informed consent or have legally authorized representative consent to participate.
• Subject must be willing and able to comply with the study procedures.
• Subject must be ≥ 3 years of age
• Subjects that are between 7 and 17 years of age must provide assent to participate in the study.
• Subject or legally authorized representative must be able to read, write, speak in English, French or Italian.
• Subjects must have an arm circumference in the range of 12-55 cm and fit into the usable range for the reference cuffs.
• Subject must be able to have blood pressures measured on the Left arm.

Exclusion Criteria:

• Lack of Informed consent.
• Subjects with deformities or abnormalities that may prevent proper application of the device under test.
• Subject is evaluated by the investigator or clinician and found to be medically unsuitable for participation in this study.
• Subjects with known heart dysrhythmias.
• The subject is in acute distress, i.e., severe pain or, severe emotional distress or agitation that would inhibit him/her from participating in the study.
• The subject has any known contraindication to blood pressure measurement.
• Subjects with compromised circulation or peripheral vascular disease.

• Subject with a blood pressure demographic that has already been filled.
• Subjects with a severe contact allergy to cuff material.
• Subjects with a history of skin fragility or breakdown, such as ecchymosis or lacerations, affecting the upper extremities that would affect the application of noninvasive blood pressure cuff.
