“…Adolescents older than 12 years are considered as general population and are evaluated within an 85-population sample. Transfer functions and in-built algorithms for the calculation of systolic and diastolic BP are not usually available by the manufacturer ( 13 ). The algorithms differ between devices, are considered proprietary for the manufacturer, and are, therefore, confidential.…”

“…The same concerns about the transfer functions and in-built algorithms may apply for children 3–12 years. Again, given all the above considerations, it is unclear if the sample of 35 children would be adequate for this age range with low oscillation and different vascular functions for moderate accuracy devices ( 13 ).…”

Accuracy of blood pressure (BP) measurement is important for the evaluation of hypertension in children and adolescents, and it is critically dependent upon the accuracy of the BP measuring device. A device that could pass validated protocols with reliable accuracy would be desirable in clinical and research settings. Several scientific organizations have published recommendations on the validation of different BP measuring devices. Most of them focus on adults but separate recommendations and validation criteria for BP devices intended for use in children and adolescents are included in some validation protocols. In this review, we compare the validation criteria for BP measuring devices among consensus documents from different scientific organizations focusing on the pediatric population and we discuss the evidence gaps targeting the needs for validated BP measuring devices in children and adolescents. We also highlight common pitfalls in the validation studies of BP measuring devices in children and adolescents using the example of office BP devices.
