There are more than bells and whistles to a blood pressure monitor. Accuracy is a top priority, but it can get confusing since many devices promise accurate results. One method some devices use is averaging, which takes multiple readings and gives you the average of all. Some monitors also use AM/PM averaging to help you keep an eye on your overall daily blood pressure readings. Dr. Sonpal also recommends getting it calibrated for accuracy at your doctor’s office. No two arms are the same size, so it’s important to determine the size of your bicep with a tape measure before buying. Blood pressure cuffs are adjustable within a certain range, so it likely won’t have to be correct down to the centimeter. Most cuffs are measured in inches.

With all OMRON blood pressure monitors, the recommended time between calibration depends on the use of the product. If the monitor is being used in a home or personal environment, we recommend they are re-calibrated every 2 years. If the monitor is being used in a clinical environment such as a doctors surgery, we recommend that this is done annually to ensure the accuracy of the results.

Some monitors link up to smartphone apps that store your information. Unfortunately, this means you have to sync your data every time if you want to maintain an up-to-date history of each of your readings.

Additionally, the user's technique is very important for reliable measurement results. Listed below are some of the common reasons you may see an inconsistent or inaccurate reading: To determine your arm size, use a cloth tape measure and place the tape measure midway between your elbow and your shoulder around the circumference of your upper arm. Wrap the tape measure evenly around your arm. Do not pull the tape tight. Note the precise measurement in centimetres.

The arm cuff plays an important role in accuracy. Look for easy-wrap cuffs with a snug fit. This keeps the cuff firmly positioned in place, further ensuring the accuracy of results. A brief note stating that your machine requires servicing & explaining the issues you are having with obtaining readings, if any. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes and rest for 15 before starting the measurement. Avoid taking a measurement during stressful times. Take the measurement in a quiet place.Although many blood pressure monitors are automatic, you’ll find some that require you to press on a bulb repeatedly to manually inflate the cuff. You can save money by opting for one of these models, and you’ll likely also find they’re more durable than their mechanically inclined counterparts. They also tend to be less expensive, although blood pressure monitors are fairly inexpensive to begin with, so you might find it’s worth it to pay a little more for an automatic device. Ease of use is another factor when you’re choosing a blood pressure monitor. You’ll need to consider how easy it is to slip the blood pressure cuff on and off your arm, as well as the screen that comes with the device. Some monitors have large, easily readable digital screens that clearly reveal your reading to take away the guesswork. Secure the cuff around your arm using the cloth closure. Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are tightened evenly around your arm.
