Description
Check whether recorded blood-pressure arm labels consistently identify one allowed arm.
Personal health logs distinguish observed events, unknown entries, device/source identifiers and chosen day or streak boundaries. A numerical activity duration or recorded symptom label organizes supplied data rather than diagnosing a condition. Fixed 86400-second days differ from civil days affected by timezone and daylight-saving changes.
Check whether recorded blood-pressure arm labels consistently identify one allowed arm.
When to use this tool
Use Blood Pressure Reading Arm Consistency when checking the stated personal-log, missingness, time or streak convention.
How to use the tool and how it works
- Enter armLabels, allowedArmLabels. Follow any array-alignment requirements below. Use the units and conventions below.
- Run the tool. Correct any format, range, or cross-field input error before interpreting the output.
- Read consistent, unknownLabels, distinctRecordedLabels. Inspect consistent before interpreting the associated values.
Deduplicate armLabels in first-appearance order. consistent means exactly one distinct recorded label and that label is in allowedArmLabels; return unknown distinct labels separately.1
| Input field | Meaning and units | Accepted input |
|---|---|---|
| armLabels | Arm Labels | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| allowedArmLabels | Allowed Arm Labels | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| Output field | Interpretation | Returned shape |
|---|---|---|
| consistent | Exactly one distinct recorded arm label and that label is allowed; false for an empty list. | Required. Boolean. |
| unknownLabels | Unknown Labels | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |
| distinctRecordedLabels | Distinct Recorded Labels | Required. Array of text; maximum UTF-16 length 8192; maximum items 256. |

}Limitations and assumptions
- An empty list is inconsistent; supplied labels do not prove actual arm use, proper measurement technique or interpretable blood-pressure results.
- Inputs must satisfy both the field types and the cross-field conditions above. Invalid input causes an error; a successful false flag or documented placeholder is a different result.
Alternative or Complementary methods
Review original records and calibrated devices; consult qualified health professionals for symptoms, interpretation or actual care decisions.
