Withings BPM Connect Pro (WPM06)

Description:

The Withings BPM Connect Pro (WPM06) is an automatic blood pressure monitor. The accuracy of its blood pressure measurement technology has yet to be proven to MDR requirements. Blood pressure measurements are taken from the upper arm. It is intended for self-measurement and home use.

Assessment:

The technology used in the Withings BPM Connect Pro (WPM06), to measure blood pressure, has been compared to a clinically validated device, but the results of the equivalence study have not been published and cannot be verified; nor can the protocol be checked for compliance with (EU) 2017/745 and MEDDEV 2.7/1 rev 4.

Recommendations:

	Accuracy Assessment	Recommendation	Basis
BP	Medaval	None	Although equivalence to another device is claimed, this has not been tested to MDR requirements.
BP	BIHS (UK and IRL)	Self-measurement and professional use for adults and pregnancy	Manufacturer declaration of equivalence
BP	Stride BP	Self-measurement for adults and pregnancy (Preferred)	Equivalence claim without published evidence
BP	AMA VDL (US)	Self-measurement for general use and pregnancy	Equivalence claim without published evidence
