Objectives:
to characterize oscillometric blood pressure measurement devices for sale in the virtual market and identify which ones have undergone a validation study.
Methods:
this was a cross sectional study. The search for devices for sale was conducted on websites, and the sample was composed of 137 devices obtained from 644 ads. We conducted a bibliographic survey in five databases and web pages enlisting devices submitted for validation. The Kolmogorov-Smirnov test was used to check data distribution, followed by Mann-Whitney and Kruskal-Wallis tests for comparisons, using the SAS 9.4 program.
Results:
only 16.7% of the devices were validated. The home devices ranged from USD 10.57 to USD 275.67. Only 102 ads informed the cuff size, with different nomenclatures.
Conclusions:
most ads contained non-validated devices, which were cheaper. We identified some ads falsely informing validation.

Objective:
to compare blood pressure values obtained by auscultatory and oscillometric methods in different gestational periods, considering cuff width.
Method:
it is a cross-sectional and quasi-experimental study approved by the Research Ethics Committee. The sample consisted of 108 low-risk pregnant women. Blood pressure measurements were performed in gestational periods of 10-14, 19-22 and 27-30 weeks.
Results:
The oscillometric device presented values similar to the auscultatory method in systolic blood pressure, but overestimated diastolic blood pressure. Underestimation of blood pressure occurred when using the standard width cuff rather than the correct width cuff in both measuring methods.
Conclusion:
Verification of brachial circumference and use of adequate cuffs in both methods are indispensable to obtain reliable blood pressure values in pregnant women. We recommend performance of additional studies to evaluate diastolic blood pressure overestimation by the Microlife 3BTO-A.
