title: The HoMedics BPA-200 and BPA-300 home blood pressure devices fail the European Society of Hypertension International Protocol and cannot be recommended for patient use.
abstract: We have tested two home blood pressure monitors made by the HoMedics, Inc., 300 Pontiac Trail, Commerce Township, Michigan 48390, USA, using the European Society of Hypertension International Protocol. Both failed and we believe it is important to get this into the literature quickly to protect patients and practitioners.
