Automatic BP

Digital monitors measure blood pressure using the Oscillometric method rather than by Auscultation. In Auscultation the method typically used by healthcare professionals, a combination of a stethoscope and an arm cuff is used to take blood pressure reading by listening for the sounds which correspond to Systolic and Diastolic pressures (called Korotkoff sound). To take accurate blood pressure readings using this method requires training and practice. Oscillometric technology measures the vibration of blood travelling through the arteries and converts the movement into digital readings. OMRON Blood Pressure Monitors use the Oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. An Oscillometric monitor does not require a stethoscope thus creating a simple to use device
