Wristech Blood Pressure Monitor
Medical statistics show that a large portion of the adult population has medical problems. The common ailments include heart and high blood pressure problems. Although the two are separate ailments, one illness can lead to the other and cause more problems. Also, these sicknesses have a high mortality rate, and high blood pressure can lead to stroke. Monitoring the blood pressure of the affected patient is necessary especially when he or she has been recently exposed to stress or emotional trauma or restricted food and activities. This is where Wristech blood pressure monitor comes in.
The accuracy of the blood pressure monitor can determine whether the patient can truly rely on it for his life. Just imagine if the monitor will indicate that the patient has high blood pressure and the patient drinks his medication, but in reality, the pressure had been within the limit. The extra medication can harm the person. Well, now imagine the other way around: the monitor indicates a normal reading, but the patient has blood pressure that already requires medication; this can cause a lot of harm to the patient.
The instruments to monitor blood pressure are mercury sphygmomanometer, digital sphygmomanometer, and compact monitors. The first two require that a caregiver or another person handle the instrument and take the patient's blood pressure. Also, the meter, also called as kiosk, must be placed on a leveled surface. For the mercury sphygmomanometer, the person taking the reading must listen to thumping sounds using a stethoscope to determine and read the systolic and diastolic readings while for the digital sphygmomanometer, the reading is flashed on screen. These factors make the pressure-taking process require more than 1 person to handle the equipment and that this person must not be hearing- or sight-impaired.
Using a Wristech blood pressure monitor is quite easy (this is just like the Omron HEM wrist monitor). The patient can sit on a chair then strap the monitor to his wrist just like a wrist watch. Then, he must raise the monitor to the heart level and press the start button. The equipment will then start to inflate, and readings will be flashed on the liquid crystal digital screen. The patient sees the final readout and determines if the blood pressure is within normal limits. There is no need for the patient to input his blood pressure data in a computer so that he can check past readings as the Wristech blood pressure monitor allows up to 99 readings to be stored in its memory. One limitation, as of the moment, is the lack of bluetooth capability, although, most likely, manufacturers are probably thinking of adding this to enhance data storage. The monitor shuts off automatically one minute after the completion of the monitoring. Other features include readout for pulse rates, which can be accurate for plus or minus 5%, automatic inflation, a measurement range of 0 to 280 mmHg, blood pressure accuracy of plus or minus 3 mmHg, and low energy requirement in that the 4 AA batteries can last for 6 months even with daily use.
