Description:
The Omron 637IT (HEM-637IT-E) is an automatic blood pressure monitor. Its blood pressure measurement technology has been proven to be accurate, with a 1-star Medaval rating. Blood pressure measurements are taken from the wrist. It is intended for self-measurement and home use. This device has been discontinued by the manufacturer but may be available through certain outlets.
Assessment:
The technology used in the Omron 637IT (HEM-637IT-E), to measure blood pressure, has passed in three clinical validation studies, between general and specific populations, according to recognised standard protocols, as published in peer-reviewed publications.
Recommendations:
Accuracy AssessmentRecommendationBasis
BP Medaval ★ Recommendation Older clinical validation; older protocol; multiple clinical validations
BP BIHS (UK and IRL) Previous recommendation, now archived for adults, obese adults and the elderly Published evidence
BP ESH (Europe) Self-measurement Published evidence
BP Stride BP Self-measurement for adults, obese adults and the elderly Published evidence, but the device validated was the R7 (HEM 637-IT).
