How to buy a reliable electronic blood pressure monitor for the elderly

For the elderly, you can choose an electronic blood pressure monitor for the elderly, such as Omron's electronic blood pressure monitor, which can be equipped with a battery and plugged in 220V AC power, this kind of blood pressure monitor is more durable, I have bought it for five or six years, and there is no problem.

How to buy a reliable electronic sphygmomanometer for the elderly:

1.You can go to your local medical device store and buy it. You can also check out your local pharmacy.

2.It's the age of online shopping. You can also go to Jingdong or ** Tmall to have a look. Choose a store with a high praise rate.

After buying, read the manual and learn how to use it as soon as possible.

What do you think? The purchase of electronic blood pressure monitors for our ordinary consumers is not too much reference indicators, because we do not understand a lot of this aspect, so if you do not understand the purchase of electronic blood pressure monitors, you must pay attention to two points, one is the purchase channel, the other is the brand you buy, compared to the purchase channel, you had better go to the local large entity state-owned chain pharmacy to buy, so that the quality of the goods and after-sales are guaranteed, anyway? He doesn't sell fakes, does he?

If you choose to shop online, it is best to choose to buy in Jingdong's self-operated store, or Tmall official ***, so that the goods should also be ***, secondly, you must pay attention to electronic blood pressure monitors, this kind of products are also in line with the principle of a penny price and a penny, so if you want to ensure the quality and accuracy of electronic sphygmomanometers, you must buy them, relatively more expensive, it may be better, and secondly, it depends on the brand, for electronic sphygmomanometer brands, foreign ones are Omron, needless to say, this brand The quality is leveraged, very, very good, many large hospitals are using Omron's electronic blood pressure monitor, it can be seen from this point that his quality is very good, if you want to choose a more cost-effective one, then the domestic pleasure is also possible, among the domestic brands, Yuyue is the first in this class of medical device products, it is compared to Omron, the cost performance is also very high, but what about the quality of Urumrubi? I feel that the female dragon will be better, of course, we should also support the domestic ones, after all, there are many people who choose and buy, it should be good, and one more point to explain is that the elderly buy electronic blood pressure monitors, but to buy that, but the font is loud, fools, it is the kind of operation that can measure blood pressure in one thing, now it is like this, it is very convenient, don't buy those very outdated styles, which is not conducive to the elderly to measure blood pressure at home.

There are two main types of measurement methods for home electronic sphygmomanometers, one is arm type and the other is wrist type. Both electronic blood pressure monitors are suitable for healthy people. However, it should be noted that wrist-based electronic blood pressure monitors are not suitable for patients with blood circulation disorders.

Diseases such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, and hypertension can accelerate arteriosclerosis, which can cause peripheral circulation disorders in patients, and the blood pressure in these patients is quite different from the blood pressure measurement in the upper arm. Arm electronic blood pressure monitors are recommended for these patients and the elderly. In addition, you should take a field measurement before buying, and choose the one that is closest to your usual blood pressure value.

First of all, you should choose a blood pressure monitor that has been tested and identified by the National Quality and Technical Monitoring Bureau and has reliable quality. Second, choose the appropriate form of electronic blood pressure monitor for your physical condition. There are three forms of electronic blood pressure monitors currently on the market:

Arm, wrist, finger. All three are suitable for home blood pressure monitoring in healthy people. However, the wrist and finger pose are not suitable for patients with hypertension, diabetes, hyperlipidemia, atherosclerosis and peripheral circulatory disorders.

Because of the difference in arterial pulse and elasticity, the blood pressure measurements of the wrist, fingers, and upper arm vary greatly. The elderly and the above patients should choose an arm-type electronic blood pressure monitor. Third, you should choose the appropriate cuff according to your arm circumference, that is, the average person should choose a standard cuff of 12 13 cm and 35 cm; Larger cuffs can be used for thicker arms; For children, a smaller cuff should be used.

Because the cuff is too short, the blood pressure measurement is low, and vice versa. Fourth, you should go to the hospital to measure your blood pressure with a mercury blood pressure monitor before buying. This is because there is an upper limit for measuring blood pressure with an electronic sphygmomanometer, and when the systolic blood pressure exceeds 200 mm Hg, the electronic sphygmomanometer is powerless.

So, once you've purchased an electronic blood pressure monitor, don't forget to calibrate it regularly with a standard blood pressure monitor.

I think this kind of electronic class is more assured to choose the brand, and the quality can also pass. So I helped you look at the following brands for your reference! 1. Omron's.

If there are people in the family who can measure the blood pressure of the elderly, choose a mercury sphygmomanometer.

If there is no one at home and you can measure the blood pressure of the elderly, choose an electronic blood pressure monitor.

When choosing an electronic sphygmomanometer, you should measure it many times to see if it is accurate, you can choose it with other blood pressure monitors at the same time, if it is the same value, it means that it is accurate.

If you want to buy an electronic blood pressure monitor for the elderly, you must first choose a blood pressure monitor with good quality produced by a big brand, which can ensure that the elderly can accurately grasp their blood pressure and avoid data deviations. In addition, choose a large enough screen and numbers, so that it is convenient for the elderly to read the data.

In fact, if you buy a blood pressure monitor, it is basically no problem to go to some pharmacies to buy some well-known brands, and some pharmacies can try this kind of blood pressure monitor, if you feel that you are suitable for your own convenience, then you can buy it, if the quality is not good or does not meet your requirements, then buy other types of blood pressure monitors.

The key to the purchase of electronic sphygmomanometer is the accuracy of measurement, and an accurate electronic sphygmomanometer should be: an upper arm model certified by three major institutions (ESH, BHS, AAMI), and also have the function of wearing self-test and malfunction reminder and memorizing the measured value.

Let's take a closer look at these points.

1. Why do you need to pass the certification of the three major institutions?

At present, there is no relevant standard for electronic sphygmomanometer in China, and in the "Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Hypertension in China", the Chinese Hypertension Alliance and the National Center for Cardiovascular Disease recommend the use of the upper arm electronic sphygmomanometer certified by the three major international standards, because their certification standards are very strict, and the certified products are enough to ensure the accuracy of measurement.

Three international bodies: ESH (European Society of Hypertension), BHS (British Hypertension Society), AAMI (American National Standards Body).

In the case of ESH, for example, the test requires 9 consecutive blood pressure measurements within half an hour, first auscultation, then with an electronic sphygmomanometer, and so on.

The test requires a total of 33 patients, whose blood pressure is evenly distributed in each blood pressure segment, and finally according to the blood pressure measurement values of all people after 7 times, the deviation between the tested electronic blood pressure monitor and the mercury blood pressure monitor must be in the range of 5mmHg-10mmHg to pass the certification.

2. Why should I buy an upper arm model?

Electronic blood pressure monitors are divided into arm type and wrist type (finger type has been considered completely useless!). ）。

The arm type measures the great arteries, which is not much different from the traditional mercury sphygmomanometer, and the measurement accuracy is good.

The wrist pose is useful but very limited, because of the problem of aging of wrist blood vessels in middle-aged and elderly people, the measurement error is large; At the same time, it is not suitable for people with blood circulation disorders, such as diabetes, hyperlipidemia, high blood pressure, etc.

So it is recommended to choose the upper arm pose!

3. Why should there be three functions: wearing self-check, malfunction prompt, and memory value?

The electronic sphygmomanometer is not allowed to be caused by improper operation of the user, and the average blood pressure value of 4-5 times a day is the best reference value, so it is very important to wear self-test, malfunction prompt, and memory value.

Wear self-test function: the user will be prompted if the user wears it irregularly to avoid inaccurate measurement results.

Misoperation reminder function: Prompt you will receive a reminder if there is an irregular action in the measurement to avoid inaccurate measurement results.

Memory value function: the blood pressure value measured by the user can be recorded, some products can record 30 times, some 60 times, some 90 times, 120 times.

Electronic sphygmomanometers have been widely used in foreign countries, and China has only begun to apply them for a short time. When purchasing, you should know more about relevant product knowledge in order to compare and choose.

1.Appearance inspection China's metrology law clearly stipulates: "The work measuring instruments used for medical and health care shall be subject to compulsory verification".

The sphygmomanometer is listed as a measuring instrument managed by law in China. The sphygmomanometer produced by the manufacturer shall be marked in a conspicuous position, including the name, model number, upper limit of measurement, name of the manufacturer and date of manufacture, and the standard document number and type approval number shall also be indicated.

2.Accuracy check The error of a sphygmomanometer generally ranges from 2 to 3 mm Hg. If you buy an electronic blood pressure monitor, you may wish to operate according to the manual, measure your blood pressure value, and repeat the test several times to see if its repeatability is good, and you can compare it with the value measured with a mercury sphygmomanometer.

In addition, when taking a blood pressure measurement, check whether the displayed number is missing.

3.Comparative check When purchasing, you can compare the performance of different models of products, **, after the model has been determined, you can also choose from several products of the same model.

4.Alternate Measurement This is an easy way to determine whether an electronic sphygmomanometer is accurate. Here's how it works:

The first time the blood pressure was measured with a mercury column sphygmomanometer, after a 3-minute rest, the second time was measured with an electronic blood pressure monitor, then a 3-minute rest, and finally a third time with a mercury column blood pressure monitor. The average of the first and third measurements should generally be less than 5 mm Hg compared to the second measurement with an electronic blood pressure monitor. If you meet this requirement, you can use it with confidence.

I think it's best to choose the upper arm type, because the elderly are older, the blood vessels are not as healthy as before, and the blood pressure measurement site should be close to the heart position to be more accurate, so the wrist type is not suitable, especially if you have cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases or other rich diseases, second, you can buy a model with arrhythmia detection function to prevent just in case, three, the memory function is dispensable, the best is to copy it down by hand, because I always feel that the so-called memory function is actually dispensable, this function is more suitable for forgetfulness, There are also people who choose a blood pressure monitor with a language** function, or who need the help of a third party.
