The best automatic blood pressure monitors: manufacturer rating, review - Setafi

It can be very difficult and inconvenient to use a mechanical tonometer - you need to put everything on correctly, and even measure the pressure yourself. For our convenience, automatic models were specially developed, with the help of which the usual procedure takes place 2 or even 3 times faster than usual. Why? The whole process is completely automatic, you just need to fix the cuff on your arm and wait for the results. Easier nowhere!

The best automatic blood pressure monitors have a number of additional "highlights" that give a complete picture of the state of human health. Among users, devices with arrhythmia indicators and internal memory are in active demand. There are dozens of such devices in the store, but how to choose the right one? We will talk about this in the framework of this article.

Top automatic blood pressure monitors - which one to buy?

To find the perfect option for your needs, pay attention to several important characteristics:

1. Cuff type, which is presented in the carpal and shoulder versions. The first one is small in size, functional and characterized by speed of measurement. Since the blood pressure monitor is mounted on the wrist, you get results not only about blood pressure, but also about the pulse. The shoulder cuff is large and differs in the pneumatic chamber, which should be much larger than the volume of the arm.
2. Cuff Volumes. The best option is to buy a device with a universal cuff that will fit most average hands. If you actively visit the gym and have pumped up your arms a lot or are genetically large, blood pressure monitors with large cuffs have been invented for you. Small straps are used for children. The best option for fixing the device on the arm is a tight Velcro that does not tear when the camera is inflated. A good pneumatic chamber is made of latex and should not have seams and joints - this way it will last longer.
3. Power type. When used 2-3 times a day, a model with ordinary batteries is enough - just one set is enough for six months of use. A clear plus will be the ability to connect the tonometer to a power outlet using the power cord. One minus - only shoulder tonometers are equipped with an output for a wire for power supply.

Our top automatic blood pressure monitors include models with additional features, such as:

• Screen. It must be large enough to see all the information. Users note that the most convenient arrangement of indicators on the screen is in several bands. Also, it will not be superfluous to additionally illuminate the screen so that you can see the indicators in poor lighting conditions.
• What technology is used to measure the indicators. Over the past 10 years, tonometers have acquired innovations in the field of health diagnostics. Among the technologies it is worth noting the most striking:

MAM - gives calculations of the average value. The device measures 3 indicators at once, on the basis of which it gives an average result - a guarantee of high-quality measurement.

PAD - it is used to diagnose an arrhythmia. If you have it, then the corresponding symbol or signal will appear on the display.

Intellisense - allows you to improve the procedure, removing unpleasant and painful sensations when pumping air.

IQ System - reduces measurement time and gives more stable readings in case of accidental twitching of the hand or braking.
