A hospital implements a new automated blood pressure device. They conduct two studies:

Study 1 (Reliability Test): Each of 80 patients is measured twice by the device within 5 minutes (no actual BP change expected). Measurements correlate at r=0.94r = 0.94r=0.94; the mean difference is 1.2 mmHg with SD of 2.1 mmHg.

Study 2 (Validity Test): The same 80 patients are measured once by the new device and once by a trained nurse using a gold-standard manual cuff (within 30 minutes). Device and manual readings correlate at r=0.81r = 0.81r=0.81.

Which statement is most accurate?
