What is a blood pressure monitor?


A blood pressure monitor is used to measure blood pressure. It can be an upper arm blood pressure monitor or a wrist blood pressure monitor. Today, the vast majority of blood pressure monitors are electronic. The principle is the same as with a manual blood pressure monitor: the cuff inflates and deflates to measure blood pressure. This is expressed by two values, the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.

Where to buy a blood pressure monitor?


You can buy a blood pressure monitor in pharmacies, as well as in many shops, but these are usually medical equipment stores. In pharmacies and other stores, you can find wrist and cuff blood pressure monitors.

The price of a blood pressure monitor


The price of a blood pressure monitor in a pharmacy varies from about €30 to €250. A professional medical blood pressure monitor costs more. If you are looking for a cheap blood pressure monitor, there are some available for less than €30. At this price, the device can already calculate the average of the last measurements, for one or two users, keeping the measurements in memory. If you want to buy a blood pressure monitor with more options, or a connected blood pressure monitor, you should expect to pay between €50 and €100.

Tips for taking blood pressure with a blood pressure monitor


Whether you use an upper arm or wrist monitor, it is important to put it on the skin and not on clothing . Even if you find the best blood pressure monitor on the market, it will not give you reliable results unless you use it correctly. And to do this, two or three measurements over several days are essential, preferably on waking ! You should also be seated. Your doctor needs these measurements. Consider that you can send them to him quickly with a connected blood pressure monitor.

How to read your blood pressure on a blood pressure monitor?


Reading your blood pressure on a blood pressure monitor consists of recording the SYS and DIA measurements. You can average several readings, but most electronic blood pressure monitors do this for you. The numbers on the screen are in mmHg (millimetres of mercury). SYS is the systolic pressure, when the heart is contracting. DIA is the diastolic pressure, when the heart relaxes.
Interpreting the result of a blood pressure monitor depends on several factors, including gender and age. However, 120/80 (SYS/DIA) is considered normal. Above this, the blood pressure is too high, but only 140/90 (if this result is shown repeatedly and over several days) is considered hypertension.

Reading a blood pressure monitor is easy with electronic blood pressure monitors, and so is calculating your blood pressure.

Find the most reliable blood pressure monitor


Blood pressure monitors have an accuracy of about 3 mmHg. To find a reliable blood pressure monitor, you can simply buy it in a pharmacy or from medical equipment professionals like Identités. For information, there is a list of blood pressure monitors validated by the health authorities (Afssaps) which is regularly updated. If you are looking for a good quality automatic blood pressure monitor, you may want to look at reputable brands such as Omron, Terraillon, Beurer, Hartmann, Tensoval or Spengler.
 

Wrist or arm blood pressure monitor?


A professional blood pressure monitor can be a wrist blood pressure monitor, which proves its reliability. Today, the choice depends mainly on practical reasons or personal habits. Wrist monitors are more compact and easy to carry. Some people still prefer to use an upper arm monitor. It may not be as easy to take everywhere with you, but there are smaller models available.
