Hypertension has almost become a common disease, and now most households have electronic blood pressure monitors. Electronic blood pressure pulse meter are simple to operate, but there are also many brands. How to choose an electronic blood pressure pulse meter?
1. Choose a Mercury sphygmomanometer or an electronic blood pressure pulse meter?
Mercury sphygmomanometer have high measurement accuracy and stability, and have high technical requirements for users. If the technology is not in place and the operation is improper, it is easy to cause errors in the measured blood pressure. The electronic blood pressure pulse meter is simple to use and convenient to measure. However, many electronic blood pressure pulse meter currently on the market have not been certified. Therefore, pay attention to purchasing an electronic blood pressure monitor certified by international standards.
2. Choose arm type or wrist type for electronic blood pressure pulse meter?
When choosing a blood pressure pulse meter, consider the user’s situation. For the general population, either arm style or wrist style is acceptable. For middle-aged and elderly people, due to the high blood viscosity and poor microcirculation, it is recommended to use the arm pose, such as those with diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension. Compared with the results measured by the arm-type blood pressure pulse meter, the measurement value of the wrist-type blood pressure will have a large error.
3. Is the measurement method selected for automatic pressure or semi-automatic pressure?
A fully automatic blood pressure pulse meter is to automatically control the air intake. Press a button to automatically pressurize.
Semi-automatic means manual pressure (pressing the rubber ball by hand), manual operation is more troublesome, mainly because the air volume is not well controlled, and the pulse rate tested is not accurate if the air is too low.
4. Do I need to purchase a memory function?
The memory function of the blood pressure pulse meter means to save the blood pressure records (high pressure, low pressure, pulse, etc.) of the measured person in the machine, so that the measured person who uses it for a long time can know his blood pressure value over a period of time. Not a good feature. However, this type of electronic blood pressure pulse meter is expensive, because it depends on the economic conditions of the family.
