How to choose the Best Blood Pressure Monitor.

At Home Blood Pressure Monitors come in two formats: Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors and Wrist Blood Pressure Monitors.

Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors: All of the Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors we stock are Omron. How you choose between them is based on the features you require from your BP monitor:

• Omron MX2: fully automatic, this basic BP monitor provides quick and accurate readings when monitoring blood pressure at home yourself.

• Omron M6: this blood pressure monitor features the largest display on the market, and 90 memories with date and time. Also uses Intellisence. One set of batteries will last for 1500 BP measurements.
