subject: Why I Chose A Wristech Blood Pressure Monitor [print this page] A few months ago, I bought myself a WrisTech blood pressure monitor for my own personal use. My doctor told my I was suffering from pre-hypertension and I needed to know how to lower blood pressure quickly. The only way I could do that is by taking my own readings everyday at home.
As the name implies, the WrisTech blood pressure monitor straps onto the wrist with its fully automated wrist cuff. After it inflates and deflates by itself, the systolic and diastolic BP levels and the pulse rate are clearly indicated on its large-sized readout screen. This monitor is clearly made for the elderly since it is able to record 120 total measurements, creating a log of its own with a date and time indicated as well.
Of course I read the reviews before I decided to plunk down my money. I expected a few negative comments but there were so many more people satisfied with the product that I thought there wouldn't be much to lose. I especially liked it that people were saying it gave accurate results when properly used. That's to be expected, right? It's a machine, after all. Instructions should be followed to the letter and the machine has to be set up properly. As they say, "garbage in, garbage out."
I like the features in it, too. I always hate it when a machine just dies on you, so the battery power indicator on the WrisTech blood pressure monitor was a plus for me. And since I don't like complications, I really appreciate the error sign that tells me I've put it on wrong. I don't want to fiddle with anything when I've got a tight schedule in the mornings! When the blinking heart shows up on its screen, I know I've gotten it right and it should start immediately.
The date and time the readings are taken are easily programmed into the machine to make a log for the month. Obviously, if the batteries are removed, all the information logged will be lost, so that is the default method for clearing the log. And to work around patients that may be forgetful, the machine shuts itself off after about a minute.
Considering the really affordable price, I don't regret buying my WrisTech blood pressure monitor at all. My doctor is happy with the way it's working, and that's the best part for me. I'd recommend the WrisTech blood pressure monitor to anyone who asks my opinion.
