Blood pressure monitors

The cuff width should be about 40 % of the upper-arm circumference — a cuff that is too narrow gives falsely high readings and one that is too wide falsely low.

Blood pressure monitors for the clinic, home visits and the emergency bag. Manual upper-arm monitors with a Boso manometer in two cuff sizes, and automatic wrist monitors from Beurer. Chosen by anaesthetists who measure blood pressure every working day.

Manual upper-arm measurement — the cuff decides the reading

The range of manual monitors from AB Henry Eriksson comes with a cuff of 12 x 35 cm, which fits most adult upper arms, and 15 x 43 cm for a larger arm. All have a Boso manometer and an inflation bulb; one variant has the cuff integrated with the manometer so nothing loose travels in the bag.

The cuff is not a question of convenience. The bladder width should be about 40 % of the upper-arm circumference, and the bladder length should encircle around 80 % of it. A cuff that is too narrow gives falsely high pressures, one that is too wide falsely low — and the error is largest in exactly the patients where the decision matters most. Release the pressure slowly, about 2–3 mmHg per second: the systolic pressure is read when the Korotkoff sounds begin, the diastolic when they disappear. Aneroid manometers lose accuracy over time and should be checked against a reference at regular intervals.

Automatic wrist monitors

The Beurer BC28 and BC54 measure oscillometrically at the wrist, show the pulse and grade the reading against the WHO risk indicator. The BC28 fits wrists with a circumference of 14–19.5 cm, has an arrhythmia detector and stores 60 readings per user for two users. The wrist must be held at heart level during measurement, and in older people with stiff arteries wrist measurement can be misleading — upper-arm measurement is then the right choice. Our buying guide for blood pressure monitors covers the choice in more detail.

Frequently asked questions about blood pressure monitors

Which cuff size should I choose?

The bladder width should be about 40 % of the upper-arm circumference, and its length should encircle around 80 % of it. A 12 x 35 cm cuff is enough for most adults, while 15 x 43 cm is needed for a larger upper arm. Measure the arm instead of guessing — the wrong cuff is the most common cause of inaccurate blood pressure readings.

Are wrist monitors as reliable as upper-arm monitors?

For most healthy adults they give usable readings, provided the wrist is held at heart level and the arm is supported. But in older people with stiff or calcified arteries, wrist measurement can be misleading. If the reading is to form the basis for treatment, upper-arm measurement is still the first choice.

Does a manual blood pressure monitor need calibrating?

Yes. An aneroid manometer contains a spring mechanism that drifts over time, particularly if the equipment is dropped or carried around in a bag. Check it against a reference manometer at regular intervals and replace the cuff when the tubing or bladder leaks — a leaking cuff cannot be compensated for.
