The work of this group may just be targeting stand-alone BP monitors and not actually be of significant use to the likes of us when it comes to evaluation and selection of Vital Signs Monitoring that incorporates NIBP capability. If the study involves the BHS then this is likely to be the case in my opinion. I would find out before you read too much into it but previous posts imply that individuals are particularly interested in automated NIBP devices used in VSM.
Most of the BHS evaluations have concerned devices that are capable of BP measurements only and seem to be predominantly targeted by home users, clinics and GP surgeries. Thus any findings may not be of much value to us, in the acute healthcare setting, especially if multi-parameter vital signs monitors with NIBP used for vigilance or peri-operative monitoring, for example, are not included in the study.
