title: [Evaluation of a new ambulatory blood pressure measuring device, the Sandoz Pressure System].
abstract: The accuracy of "Sandoz Pressure System", in comparison with the mercury sphygmomanometer, was studied in 171 patients in 2 centers. The correlation, as estimated for 657 pairs of measurements, was excellent: systolic and diastolic coefficients were r = 0.986 and r = 0.940 respectively. The individual difference is less than or equal to 5 mm Hg for 90% of the systolic values and 82% of the diastolic values. The ambulatory reliability is demonstrated for 300 profiles, of which 279 (93%) are complete. Of 7902 determinations, 59 (0.75%) were deleted because considered to be incorrect.
