Introduction – The measurement of blood pressure (BP) using automatic devices is often performed in clinical practice and self-measurement allows the acquisition of reliable information for the diagnosis, monitoring, and treatment of hypertension. However, not all of the automated devices available in the market are validated in accordance with the existing protocols for this purpose. The purpose of this study was to confirm the validation of the automatic measuring device of the BP, OMRON® M6 Comfort, according to the “European Society of Hypertension International Protocol revision 2010 for the validation of blood pressure measuring devices in adults”. Methodology – The study involved 33 subjects, in each one of them, 9 sequential measurements of BP were performed, in the left arm, with the aneroid sphygmomanometer alternating with the automatic device. Afterward, the differences in the values obtained by the different devices were evaluated, for systolic blood pressure (SBP) and diastolic (DBP), and these differences were then classified into three levels (≤ 5, ≤ 10, or ≤ 15 mmHg). The number of differences at each level was compared to the number required by the protocol (phase 1.1). For each subject, the number of differences with values ≤ 5 mmHg was also determined. At least 24 of the 33 subjects should have 2 or 3 differences with values ≤ 5 mmHg and a maximum of 3 of the 33 subjects may have all differences with values > 5 mmHg (phase 1.2). Results – The device OMRON M6 Comfort ® was approved in phases 1.1 and 1.2 for SBP and DBP. The average difference between measurements of BP, as determined by automatic and manual devices, was -0.82 ± 5.62 mmHg for SBP and 2.14 ± 5.15 mmHg for DBP. Conclusion – The device OMRON M6 Comfort® is valid for measuring BP in adults, according to the ESH International Protocol of 2010.
