Omron R7 wrist blood pressure monitor
Blood pressure monitors worn on the wrist can give inaccurate results because of poor positioning and distance from the heart (a wrist blood pressure monitor must be kept at heart level throughout the measurement). The Omron R7 monitor has a patented APS (advanced positioning system) which eliminates questionable results and only shows valid ones. The monitor can be used with either wrist, operates on two AAA batteries (batteries are included).
This fully automatic wrist blood pressure monitor from Omron boasts:
- Intellisense® technology for fast readings
- a cuff to fit 13.5 to 21.5cm wrists
- memory capacity for 90 blood pressure readings
- a large display showing blood pressure and pulse
- a hard case to protect the monitor in transport and storage
- alarm function to remind you to take regular readings
The Omron R7 can connect to the Omron printer (also available from the Bupa Shop) to print out the results.
