AB  - OBJECTIVES: To estimate accuracy and reliability of pharmacy-based fixed-location 
      automated blood pressure devices (ABPDs) and to test the hypothesis that an ABPD 
      is less accurate with more variable results than a home blood pressure device 
      (HBPD). METHODS: Randomized study comparing 99 ABPDs with an Omron Digital HBPD 
      in Indiana pharmacies. Each site was visited by one of five study investigators. 
      A questionnaire was used to collect information about ABPDs. To test the ABPD 
      against the HBPD, investigators measured their own blood pressure with each 
      device three times in random order. RESULTS: No significant differences were 
      observed between HBPD and ABPD diastolic readings, whereas a statistically 
      significant difference between HBPD and ABPD systolic readings was found. ABPD 
      measurements are as reliable as HBPD measurements when comparing single 
      measurements from each, but reliability differs with more than one reading. 
      CONCLUSION: Compared with a valid HBPD, the ABPD produces inaccurate systolic 
      blood pressure values but similar reliability. Regular blood pressure measurement 
      by health professionals remains optimal for managing hypertensive individuals.
