RÉSUMÉ
Objective:To develop a continuous non-invasive blood pressure measurement device(NC-BPM)and verify the accuracy of that in monitoring blood pressure.Methods:A NC-BPM type of non-invasively continuous blood pressure measurement device(NC-BPM for short)was developed.The entire system consisted of four modules included one sensor which shape was finger cot,one unit of signal acquisition and pressure control,one calibration system for height and one host.The Omron J760 electronic sphygmomanometer(J760)and the CNAP Monitor500 continuous non-invasive blood pressure monitoring system(CNAP Monitor500)were used as the reference sphygmomanometer of verifying accuracy of the monitored blood pressure.The blood pressures of 25 subjects at three stages included static stage,blood pressure change stage and stage post calibration were respectively measured according to the standard test procedure of wearable sleeveless blood pressure measurement device of Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers(IEEE).Results:Both NC-BPM and CNAP Monitor500 collected 13753 data points,and there were high correlation in systolic blood pressure(SBP),diastolic blood pressure(DBP)and mean blood pressure(MAP)between the two devices(r=0.96,0.97,0.98,P<0.05).A total of 379 data points were collected by Omron J760,and there were high correlation in SBP and DBP between NC-BPM and Omron J760(r=0.98,0.95,P<0.05).According to the standards of British Hypertension Society(BHS)and the American Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation(AAMI)to conduct grade evaluation,and the proportions of the SBP differences between NC-BPM and CNAP Monitor500 within the ranges of 0～5 mmHg,0～10 mmHg and 0～15 mmHg were respectively 85.01%,97.60%and 99.47%,and the proportions of the DBP differences between them within the three ranges were respectively 84.34%,99.85%and 100%,and the proportions of the MAP differences were respectively 92.66%,99.72%and 99.96%,all of which belonged to BHS grade A.The pressure difference values of measured SBP,DBP and MAP between the two devices were respectively(0.67±5.07)mmHg,(2.43±2.87)mmHg and(1.43±2.89)mmHg,which were within the(5±8)mmHg of AAMI standard range.The proportions of the SBP differences between NC-BPM and Omron J76 within the ranges of 0～5 mmHg,0～10 mmHg and 0～15 mmHg were respectively 79.95%,97.36%and 100%,and the proportions of the DBP differences between them within the three ranges were respectively 89.71%,99.74%and 100%,all of which belonged to BHS grade A.The difference values of systolic and diastolic blood pressures of brachial artery between the two devices were respectively(1.57±4.18)mmHg and(0.57±5.20)mmHg,which were within the(5±8)mmHg of AAMI standard range.Conclusion:The NC-BPM device has passed the first stage of clinical trials in accordance with IEEE standards,which can proceed to the next stage of clinical verification trials.
