This launch guide maps the topic, the source base and the practical questions. Check the linked official authority before acting on a rule, deadline, price or safety requirement.
What this guide covers
A CE mark means a device is legal to sell, not that it has ever been tested against a reference standard, and for home blood-pressure monitors most models on sale have not been. A page per device family explains what validation actually requires (ISO 81060-2, the ESH procedure, ISO 15197 for glucose meters), which independent lists exist and how to search them, why the wrong cuff size biases every single reading, where wrist and cuffless devices stand, and what to do when a model appears on no list at all.
Twelve pages that link out to the public device lists rather than copying a table that would go stale.
How to use it
Use Is your monitor clinically validated? as a structured learning path: begin with the vocabulary, follow the evidence map, and keep the uncertainty labels attached to claims as you compare sources.
The page keeps the main question, its evidence base and its limits together in one canonical place. That makes it useful as a quick orientation and avoids splitting a broad subject into shallow pages before each narrower answer has enough verified material of its own.
Search vocabulary in four languages
Terminology changes across borders. These are example phrases people use for the same subject in Estonian, Finnish, Russian and English; they are included as a practical vocabulary aid, not as hidden keywords.
| Language | Example phrase |
|---|---|
| Estonian | kas minu vererõhuaparaat on valideeritud |
| Finnish | onko verenpainemittarini validoitu lista |
| Russian | как выбрать точный тонометр валидация |
| English | validated blood pressure monitor list |
Evidence and provenance
The evidence map below records the primary, official or openly licensed material chosen for this guide. It is deliberately visible so a reader can tell the difference between a rule published by an authority, a measured dataset and an editorial explanation.
Source: the public validated-device lists (STRIDE BP, Medaval) linked and cited; ISO 81060-2 and the ESH validation procedure described, not reproduced. · checked 2026-09-09
Source names are preserved even where an authority changes its web address. No figure is added to this launch page unless it is already present in the cited source description or can be computed from a named dataset.
Scope and boundaries
