BHS Clinical Validation

The British Hypertension Society (BHS) recommends that only properly validated BP monitors are used in both the clinic and the home.

Monitors that are BHS Validated have been tested according to the revised BHS protocol and/or the International Protocol and/or the AAMI protocol and that have met the BHS criteria according to the opinion of the BHS Blood Pressure Measurement Working Parts based on information obtained from published validation reports. To meet these criteria, devices must achieve at least a B grade for both systolic and diastolic measurements for the revised BHS protocol or pass the accepted criteria of the International protocol or the AAMI protocol. The references for these protocols can be found here.
