What is Clinical Validation?
Clinical validation is the process of testing a device’s accuracy to meet clinical standards. Clinical validation of a blood pressure monitor is done by testing a blood pressure monitor against the measurement of a trained observer using a mercury sphygmomanometer and stethoscope.
Not all Clinical Validation is Equal
While many products claim “Clinically Validated” not all products are tested against protocols that are followed to its fullest measure, it is important that clinical validation studies are conducted with the utilization of modern protocols, independently verified for accuracy, and the findings are published in a peer-reviewed journal. These standards are important to give physicians, healthcare professionals, and you at home confidence that your device is accurate and reliable.
