If you are setting a client up for home blood pressure monitoring and their upper arm sits outside the usual adult cuff range, the UA-767S-W is worth a look. It comes with a wide range cuff, so one device covers a broad span of arm circumferences without having to order a separate accessory first.
Measurement is fully automatic. The client presses a single button and the monitor inflates, measures, deflates and displays systolic, diastolic and pulse together on one screen. An irregular heartbeat indicator flags a rhythm that falls outside the average during the reading, which gives you something concrete to follow up at the next appointment.
Stored readings mean the client does not have to keep a paper diary, and the results are there for you when you review progress. It runs on batteries, so nothing needs to be near a power point, and it is light enough to move between rooms or take to an appointment.
