10 best semi-automatic blood pressure monitors

The choice of tonometers in pharmacies is now large, and hospitable pharmacists are always ready to help and recommend a successful model. But it is much more reasonable to listen before buying not the opinion of one person, but to carefully study the characteristics of tonometers and the feedback about them. Manufacturers are now offering three types of devices - standard mechanical, more comfortable semi-automatic and the most modern automatic.

Mechanical are considered the most accurate, but they are inconvenient for independent use. Automatic extremely easy to operate, but quality models are not cheap. The middle center is semi-automatic tonometers with an electronic unit and a manual injection of pressure with a rubber bulb. They differ in democratic price and convenience of self-measurement. Having studied the demand and user reviews, we have prepared for you a rating of the top ten semi-automatic blood pressure monitors.

Top 10 best semi-automatic blood pressure monitors

10 Little Doctor LD2

Inexpensive, but reliable tonometer. As in many models of this brand, Fuzzy algorithm is used. It helps the user to determine to which level the cuff needs to be pumped. Otherwise, the device is not very functional - it will calculate the pulse, but it will not show the arrhythmia and the results of previous measurements.

This tonometer is often chosen for the elderly instead of the standard mechanical models, since it is much easier and more convenient to use it. The lack of additional options in this case becomes a plus - device control is reduced to pressing a single button. The cuff is quite comfortable, the pear is pumped easily - it is not necessary to apply excessive effort.

9 B.Well WA-22h

A good model with a universal cuff length of 22-42 cm - it is equally suitable for people with a large or small shoulder circumference. Powered by 4 finger-type batteries, you can connect to the outlet, but the adapter will have to be bought separately - it is not included in the box. Functionality at a high level for a semi-automatic tonometer - you can monitor the regularity of the pulse, determine the level of pressure deviation from normal readings on the WHO scale, see in memory the result of the last measurement.

Large, contrasting numbers on the screen are perfectly readable even by people with poor eyesight. The button is only one, which simplifies the task for older people. The disadvantage is that the device can hardly be called compact. Its weight is 480 grams.

8 Omron M1 Eco

The cost of this model from the Japanese manufacturer is higher compared to other semi-automatic devices. For the same amount you can buy a simple, but fully automatic blood pressure monitor. But a slightly higher price is justified by the economy of the device and a good set of functions. He is able to calculate the average pressure on the basis of several consecutive measurements, recognize arrhythmia and memorize indicators, bringing them into one of the 42 cells. Among the models included in the rating, this tonometer is distinguished by the most capacious magazine - a record for semi-automatic devices.

The rest of the specifications are standard - it works on four little pinky batteries, power is not provided from the outlet. The cuff has a classic size - 22-32 cm. It measures the pulse and pressure with a slight error. Reviews indicate that the device is reliable, easy to use. Some users talk about the convenient form of pears. Of the shortcomings - only a small cuff.

7 AND UA-705 with a large cuff

Superior device for large or stout people. It features a large cuff - 32-45cm. Due to the special shape of the internal chamber, the pressure is evenly distributed, painful and unpleasant sensations are minimized. In terms of functionality, it is one of the best semi-automatic devices - the manufacturer has provided a WHO scale, a 30-cell magazine for daily pressure monitoring, arrhythmia recognition. The screen is three-line with large characters.

The model has one-button control. Accuracy within tolerances - the error does not exceed 3 mm Hg. Art. To work you need one battery, it lasts a long time. The device is reliable, it is convenient to use it yourself.

6 Tensoval compact

Not the most famous producer among Russian buyers. But the tonometer is of high quality, durable, does not give failures in work. It is distinguished by extreme simplicity. To control there is only one button and no additional options. The tonometer is designed for two users, but each of them has only one memory cell.

The device is economical - two batteries, included in the package, last almost a year with regular pressure measurements. The cuff has a standard size, the accuracy of the indicators is similar to most semi-automatic blood pressure monitors - an error of about 3 mm Hg. Art. Also worth noting is a soft, comfortable pear and a nice product design. Of the shortcomings - only limited functionality.

5 Little Doctor LD22

Known and popular manufacturer of medical equipment. The specific feature of this model is the use of the Fuzzy algorithm. The tonometer shows to what level the pressure in the cuff is inflated, determining the limit according to the individual characteristics of the person. In semi-automatic models, this feature is very rare. At the same time, the tonometer is very easy to use - to measure the pressure, just press one button.

It works on four finger-type batteries, but they are rarely required because the main work (inflating the cuff) is done with a pear. Batteries are already included. The usual cuff length is 25-36 cm. Additional advantages are neat dimensions, accuracy, nice design and low cost.

4 Microlife BP N1 Basic

High-quality semi-automatic tonometer with advanced functionality. The amount of memory is quite sufficient - 30 cells, recognizes and shows arrhythmia, the compliance of blood pressure with the norms of the World Health Organization. Standard cuff length 22-32 cm - for full and large people will not work. This can be attributed to the shortcomings.

The error is not more than 3 mm Hg. Art., heart rate readings are also quite accurate. Works from three mizinchikovy batteries - they are enough for a long time. The pear is soft, it is pumped easily, the cuff does not pinch the shoulder. There are only two buttons on the device - power on and memory. Even an elderly person can deal with the management. A big plus is the large and contrasting numbers on the display.

3 Omron s1

Tonometers of this Japanese company have long earned a reputation as reliable instruments. Despite the appearance of more modern devices, semi-automatic models still continue to be in demand. Specifically, this company can be attributed to the category of the optimal ratio of cost and quality. The device is not the most functional, but practical - it measures the pulse, stores up to 14 measurements in memory. In addition to the standard, there is the possibility of using a small and large cuff.

The measurement error is small. It works only on batteries, the manufacturer does not have a network adapter for this model. But the batteries last for a long time due to the fact that the pressure is pumped by hand with a pear. The reviews are good - simplicity and comfort of use, low price, compactness. Disadvantages - there is no pulse sound and arrhythmia detection function.

2 B.Well PRO-30 (M)

Successful and inexpensive model from the English manufacturer of medical equipment. Device weight - 50 gr. Very comfortable anatomically shaped cone cuff - the shoulder does not squeeze when inflating, it does not leave bruises. The set of functions for a semi-automatic tonometer is quite good - the WHO scale, memorization of the last (but only one) measurement, recognition of arrhythmia. The scale of the World Health Organization shows the generally accepted standard of blood pressure and the deviation of real indicators from it.

The device has only one button, all readings are displayed on a small LCD display. Cuff base length 22-32 cm will suit people of normal build. The margin of error is minimal. Analysis of the reviews shows that the tonometer is of high quality, practical, accurate and elementary in operation. At the same time it is cheaper than similar models from the same category.

1 AND UA-604

We decided to give the first place to the most popular and purchased model. Users in it are attracted by the democratic price and a painless cuff. To make the measurement as comfortable as possible, it uses an internal cylindrical chamber, due to which the pressure is distributed more evenly. The tonometer is very light - only 76 g., Takes up little space.

Management is carried out with the help of just one button - even an elderly person will deal with it. To work you need only one battery and it lasts a very long time. Pleases a good service life - according to some buyers, the device has been working properly for more than ten years. Indications have a slight error. Disadvantages of the model - remembers only one last dimension and has a standard cuff along the length.
