The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation develops voluntary standards for medical devices so that manufacturers might provide information on their product and basic safety and performance criteria that should be considered in qualifying the instrument for clinical use. American national standards are generated through a consensus process by committees consisting of experts in research, development, and design from user, industry, and government communities. Draft standards are made available for public review and may become American national standards after review by the American National Standards Institute. The first American national standard for electronic and automated sphygmomanometers was published in monograph form in 1987. The objective of the revised 1992 standard for electronic and automated sphygmomanometers is to provide updated labeling, safety, and performance requirements that help ensure that consumers and health care professionals are supplied with safe, accurate devices for the indirect measurement of blood pressure, including ambulatory blood pressure recorders. This standard permits validation of the automatic or electronic device by comparison with either direct, intra-arterial blood pressure measurements or the noninvasive cuff/ stethoscope technique, based on Korotkoff sounds identified by individuals trained in auscultation. This summary report of the 1992 American national standard for automatic sphygmomanometers provides recommendations for the methods of comparison, statistical analysis of the data, presentation of the results, and criteria for acceptability. Users, researchers, and instrument designers should refer to the American national standard monograph for detailed requirements.

The Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation develops voluntary standards for medical devices so that manufacturers might provide information on their product and basic safety and performance criteria that should be considered in qualifying the instrument for clinical use. American National Standards are generated through a consensus process by committees of experts in research, development, and design from user, industry, and government communities. Draft standards are made available for public review and become American National Standards after review by the American National Standards Institute. This report is a summary of the American National Standard that establishes both the safety and performance requirements of pneumatic and other nonautomated sphygmomanometers (especially mercury gravity and aneroid sphygmomanometers) used in the indirect measurement of blood pressure. This standard was developed by a consensus panel from academia, industry, and government; it updates the previous standard approved by the American National Standards Institute in 1986. This summary report does not cover all of the provisions of the revised 1994 American National Standard, thus users, researchers, and instrument designers should refer to the standard for detailed requirements.

Background: Community engagement is an emerging form of pedagogy in nursing education that requires students and faculty to go beyond the traditional classroom setting to generate meaningful community-based experiences. Service-learning and volunteering are strategies nurse educators use for community service work. There is a gap in specific guidance for the faculty role in facilitating community-engaged volunteer service. Method: A case study describes collaboration between two faculty members and a community RN to develop volunteer service weekend trips requested by undergraduate nursing students. They shared responsibilities for planning and offering the trips through a co-facilitator role based on community engagement principles. Results: The trip facilitators' collaboration resulted in a positive and productive community volunteer service experience for undergraduate nursing students. Conclusion: The community-engaged pedagogy provided a framework for building capacity between an academic and a community organization for student volunteer service.
