What Is a Pulsometer?
The accuracy of the blood pressure measurement of the pulse sphygmomanometer has a lot to do with the fit of the armband and the arm. The pulse sphygmomanometer uses a three-dimensional design, which can closely fit the arm shape, which is convenient to wear and roll, and the measurement results are more accurate.

- The accuracy of the blood pressure measurement of the pulse sphygmomanometer has a lot to do with the fit of the armband and the arm. The pulse sphygmomanometer uses a three-dimensional design, which can closely fit the arm shape, which is convenient to wear and roll, and the measurement results are more accurate.
- 1. Due to the relationship of blood flow, the blood pressure measured by the left hand and the right hand will be slightly different; usually the blood pressure value of the right hand will be slightly higher than the left hand, but the difference is normal between 10 ~ 20mmHg. The measurement data shall prevail. If the difference between the two hands is more than 40-50mmHg, the blood vessel may be blocked. It is best to ask the doctor to find out the cause.
- 2. It is not advisable to measure blood pressure only once. It should be measured several times a day and recorded in order to understand the change of blood pressure within one day.
- 3. Most commercially available sphygmomanometers are mainly electronic, and their measurement results are usually slightly higher than traditional mercury sphygmomanometers. Electronic sphygmomanometers are divided into wrist and arm types. Although the wrist type is more convenient to use, it is usually farther away from the heart and the greater the difference in measurement results; it is recommended to test it on the spot when buying There is not much difference in the results measured by the formula, and both can be used; if the difference is large, it is better to choose the arm type.
- 4. It is best to measure blood pressure in a relaxed mood in your own home. When some people take blood pressure in a medical hospital, they will be nervous because of the medical staff wearing white clothes, which will increase blood pressure. "Hypertension," which can be overcome by measuring blood pressure at home.
- 5. Traditional mercury sphygmomanometers will be affected by thermal expansion and contraction, and should be corrected to zero every six months on average.
