Question to the Department of Health and Social Care:

To ask the Secretary of State for Health, what plans he has to make the coupler to reduce high blood pressure available on the NHS.


This question was answered on 28th February 2017

There are no current plans to make the coupler device, manufactured by ROX Medical, California, United States of America, available on the National Health Service. This device is at the research stage and has not received a CE mark that would allow it to be made available for general use in patients in the United Kingdom. The National Institute for Health and Care Excellence has no current plans to develop guidance on this technology.
