MEASUREMENT PROCEDURE
• Position the monitor at the same level as your heart during measurement to ensure accurate readings
• Blood pressure changes with every heartbeat and is in constant fluctuation throughout the day
• Blood pressure measurement can be affected by the position of the user, his or her physiologic condition, and other factors. For the greatest accuracy, wait 1 hour after exercising bathing, eating, drinking beverages with alcohol or caffeine, or smoking to measure blood pressure
• Before measurement, it is suggested that you sit quietly for 15 minutes as measurements taken during a relaxed state will have greater accuracy. You should not be physically tired or exhausted while taking a measurement
• During the measurement, do not talk or move your arm or hand muscles
• With the cuff wrapped around your wrist, press the START/STOP button. Sit quietly and let the monitor do the rest
Homedics BPW-040 Blood Pressure Monitor This is a wrist monitor which is automatic and has a memory for reading previous measurements. It also averages the readings. I replaced another monitor which had become unreliable with this one. I then took it to my doctor’s office to have it compared to the manual sphymomonometer and the accuracy was within about 2%. So, I conclude that this is an accurate and affordable unit which is simple to operate and has useful features.
like 186/56. We took this to the hospital when … Calibration is not accurate at all. It is always giving a very high reading. like 186/56 . We took this to the hospital when we went for regular checkups to compare the readings. The readings were way off. Wish we checked this abnormalities the moment we bought this product.
Great for the money!! I had a cuff sphygmomanometer that was at least 15 years old, so I needed a new one. Technology has changed so much since then, I thought that I would upgrade to the wrist variety. This has so many great functions and is very easy to use. Just place it on and press the button. I work in a hospital, so I made sure to test its accuracy with the ones there, so I can attest that it is accurate as well. The most important feature to me, which I don’t think is in the product description, is the case.
