Product Description:

Blood pressure monitors measure arterial pressure non-invasively with an inflatable cuff. Automated models use the oscillometric method: a sensor reads pressure oscillations in the cuff and an algorithm estimates systolic and diastolic values and pulse rate. Manual aneroid sphygmomanometers are used with a stethoscope. This page covers upper-arm automated and manual monitors, wrist monitors and finger monitors. Upper-arm devices are the reference choice for clinics and home use. Wrist models suit people for whom an arm cuff is hard to fit, while finger devices are seldom clinically validated.

Accuracy depends on the device and on technique. Clinical guidelines favour upper-arm devices that have passed an independent validation protocol such as ISO 81060-2. Cuff size matters most: a cuff that is too narrow reads high and one too large reads low, so a choice of cuff sizes should be available. The person sits with back supported, feet flat and arm rested at heart level, after a few minutes' rest. Memory, averaging and two-user modes help clinicians review home readings.

Sourcing notes. In the US, automated non-invasive blood pressure monitors are Class II medical devices that normally need 510(k) clearance; in the EU and UK they need CE or UKCA marking. Ask for the maker's ISO 13485 certificate, test reports to IEC 80601-2-30 and IEC 60601-1, and the clinical validation report. Mercury instruments are being phased out under the Minamata Convention, so most tenders ask for mercury-free devices.
