Number of measurements in experiment

Mean of BPs from experiment (mmHg)

Standard deviation of BPs from experiment (mmHg)

Mean of BP errors from experiment (mmHg)

Standard deviation of BP errors from experiment (mmHg)

Slope of regression line of BP errors from experiment (mmHg/mmHg)

Distribution of BPs in target population (mmHg)

For compliance to BP ranges required by ISO 81060­2:2019+A2:2024, suitable values are Systolic: 130±20, Diastolic: 80±13

Required confidence that actual proportion of measurements with tolerable error is at least the minimum tolerable proportion

Minimum tolerable proportion of measurements with tolerable error for device acceptance
