Which blood pressure monitor is more accurate

As the development trend of science and technology is getting better and better, many technological products have brought a lot of convenience to people. A blood pressure monitor is one of them. A long time ago, people had to go to the hospital to measure their blood pressure, which was time-consuming and inconvenient. Moreover, hospitals also use the oldest method to measure blood pressure, which has a large error. Since the advent of the sphygmomanometer, people can measure their blood pressure and understand their health status without leaving their homes. There are many types of blood pressure monitors. Let’s take a closer look at them.

1. Choose the appropriate type of electronic blood pressure monitor according to your physical condition. There are three types of electronic blood pressure monitors currently on the market: arm type, wrist type, and finger type. All three are suitable for home blood pressure monitoring in healthy people.

2. Brand manufacturers with formal national qualifications for production and sales. There are many brands of electronic blood pressure monitors on the market, and formal and informal electronic blood pressure monitors are mixed among them. China has strict regulations on medical devices. Production must have a medical device production license, and sales must have a medical device registration certificate number. Therefore, before purchasing an electronic blood pressure monitor, we need to check the relevant qualifications of the purchased electronic blood pressure monitor to exclude informal and shoddy electronic blood pressure monitors. This is the basis for ensuring the quality of electronic blood pressure monitors. Repeatedly comparing the manufacturing processes of different electronic blood pressure monitors, the differences in production technology will also affect the accuracy of the electronic blood pressure monitors. Moreover, in the production of electronic blood pressure monitors, there will inevitably be a certain probability that unqualified products will flow into qualified products.

Therefore, we can measure the electronic blood pressure monitor repeatedly at different time periods, observe the detected data results, and compare the test stability, accuracy, and floating range of the electronic blood pressure monitor. The prerequisite for this method is that you need to have a certain understanding of your own blood pressure. If conditions permit, you can take it to a doctor and have it tested electronically and then with mercury. The upper electronic reading should be reduced or increased by that much, and the lower reading should be reduced or increased by that much to be the same as the mercury reading. After four or five tests, you will have two values, so measuring at home will be accurate.
