Blood Pressure Monitor Upper Arm Fully Automatic

A digital BP machine for checking blood pressure and pulse at home. Wrap the cuff around your upper arm, press one button, and it shows your top and bottom numbers and your pulse in under a minute. It is made in Germany.

Features

• Fully automatic: one button inflates the cuff, reads and switches off
• Shows systolic (top) and diastolic (bottom) pressure and pulse
• Two users, with 99 saved readings each, so two people can share it
• Irregular heartbeat sign, which flags an uneven pulse during a reading
• Voice read-out of the result and a backlit screen that is easy to read
• Large cuff for adults, batteries and a storage bag included

How to get an accurate reading

1. Sit quietly for 5 minutes first. No tea, coffee, smoking or exercise in the 30 minutes before.
2. Sit with your back supported, feet flat on the floor and legs uncrossed.
3. Put the cuff on bare skin, about two fingers above the elbow, with the arm resting at heart level.
4. Stay still and do not talk while it measures.
5. Take two readings a minute apart and note both. Measure at the same times each day.

What the numbers mean

Reading	What it usually means
Below 120 / 80	Normal
120 to 139 / 80 to 89	Higher than ideal: check regularly
140 / 90 or higher on several days	High: see a doctor
180 / 120 or higher	Very high: get medical help now, especially with chest pain, headache or breathlessness

A home monitor helps you and your doctor see the pattern over time. It does not replace a check-up, and you should never change your medicine based on one reading.

Questions people ask

Who is it for? Anyone told to watch their blood pressure, people on BP medicine, older family members and pregnant women whose doctor asked for home readings.

Why do my readings change? Blood pressure moves with stress, activity, salt and time of day. That is normal; look at your average over a week.
