AND tonometer: which is better and how to choose? Blood pressure monitors AND How much will it cost to repair a blood pressure monitor.

The history of the Japanese corporation AND began in 1977 - at the dawn of the digital era. The reputation of a manufacturer of first-class analog and digital equipment, the company has earned due to its advanced technology and high reliability. The name itself indicates the scope of the brand - it is a derivative of the words Analog and Digital.

Initially, the company specialized in the development of components for the automation of production processes. Now the AED is also a leading player in the market of measuring equipment, in particular medical blood pressure monitors, along with its eternal competitor, Omron. The range includes blood pressure monitors for both home and professional use. The company's headquarters is located in Tokyo, and there are representative offices in many countries of the world, including Russia.

The main types of AED blood pressure monitors

The corporation's extensive catalog of models includes pressure gauges of various types, covering a wide range of potential buyers. Regardless of the price and class of the selected device, the company guarantees the accuracy of the readings, ease of use and durability. There are 4 categories of AND blood pressure monitors for the home:

	Mechanical - a classic inexpensive option, well suited for doctors. A key deterrent is the difficulty of self-using such devices at home.
	Semi-automatic - an intermediate link that includes the properties of two adjacent classes of devices. The cuff is inflated manually using a special pear, and decompression occurs automatically. They are characterized by low cost and compactness.
	Automatic on the shoulder is the pinnacle of development of blood pressure monitors, and the most popular models on the market according to user reviews. They have a high speed of operation, simple operation, maximum reliability of indicators and are stuffed with innovative technologies. Of the minuses - limited mobility and high price, which is offset by functionality. It is justified to buy such a device for use by the whole family.
	Automatic on the wrist - neat small models for active people who prefer to carry the device always with them, as well as for those who experience pain when fixing the cuff on the forearm.

Innovative manufacturer technology

The brand is known for its innovative developments, embodied in finished products. So AND was the first in the world to create a tonometer specifically for women, taking into account the characteristics of the body of the weaker sex. Modern models of the manufacturer are equipped with such unique functions as: data transfer to a smartphone via bluetooth, calculation of the average value for three parameters, advanced arrhythmia detection system. One of the latest is a talking assistant that allows you to receive all instructions in real time for the correct procedure and signals in case of errors.

The third type is more expensive than mechanical and semi-automatic, as it excludes human influence. The package includes a scoreboard and a cuff for the shoulder or wrist. Model AnD UA-888 is modern and high-tech. The device is easy to take with you on trips, to work or a long walk.

Characteristics

The AnD UA-888 tonometer is a combination of simplicity and quality. Management is carried out with just one button. You just need to fasten the cuff on your shoulder and press "Start". The cuff is as comfortable as possible, has an optimal size, does not squeeze the hand, does not cause pain. Due to the fact that it fits snugly against the skin, the likelihood of errors is reduced.

Thirty measurements are stored in the memory of the device with the possibility of calculating the average value. This allows you to monitor the pressure for a specific period, and report the results to your doctor for a consultation. The arrhythmia indicator reports a violation of the heart.

How to use?

It is easy to measure pressure using the UA-888 "Automatic Economy" tonometer.

1. Place the cuff on your left shoulder so that it fits snugly around your arm, but does not overstretch it.
2. Click on the "Start" button. Many symbols will appear on the screen of the tonometer, and then the number 0 will be displayed. After that, the device will automatically inflate the cuff to the desired pressure. The display shows the maximum value, which corresponds to six segments.
3. When the pressure in the cuff is maximum, the tonometer will automatically release air, and the "heart" sign will flash on the display. This means that the measurement process has started. Try not to talk or move.
4. When the measurement is completed, the air remaining in the cuff will be released automatically. The screen will display information about blood pressure (systolic and diastolic) and pulse.
5. Remove the cuff, turn off the device with one press of the "Start" button.

It is very important to sit up straight and be completely relaxed during the pressure measurement. Before turning on the device, take a few deep breaths and exhale, calm down. If you climbed stairs, sit down on a chair and wait until the pulse returns to normal. The back should rest on the back, breathing should be calm, and the pulse should be stable.

Please note that blood pressure readings before and after meals may be different. The same applies to physical activity and the state of rest. Nervous excitement, an excess of negative emotions, food poisoning, toxicosis, elevated body temperature - all this affects the readings of the device. It is possible to make repeated measurements using the A D UA-888 tonometer only after a few minutes due to the high probability of errors.

Pros and cons

What are the advantages of the UA-888 "Economy" tonometer? User reviews are divided. Someone thinks that the automatic model does not accurately determine the pressure, others like the device. The model appeared in Russia four years ago. Thanks to modern technologies, the company has combined functionality and affordable price. The advantages of an automatic tonometer include:

• durable cuff material and its hypoallergenicity;
• increased in length from 23 to 27 centimeters;
• attractive price of the device, in comparison with other multifunctional models;

Remember: if the batteries are discharged in the tonometer, it may give an unreliable result.

Price

The AnD UA-888 tonometer, like all automatic models, is not cheap. Its price is 2100 rubles. The device is sold in the pharmacy network. The "Economy" option with batteries and a network adapter is available to the buyer. Model with charger costs more than a thousand.

In specialized stores of medical equipment, a wide range of tonometers for home use is presented, in which it is easy to get confused by an unprepared buyer. For those who do not know which device to prefer, it is recommended to pay attention to devices from well-known manufacturers, for example, an AND tonometer. The devices of this Japanese company are distinguished high quality manufacturing, measurement accuracy and reliability.

AND is one of the largest electronics manufacturers specializing in appliances for home and professional use, including electronic scales and blood pressure monitors. The brand is headquartered in Tokyo. AND is a Japanese manufacturer whose product reliability has been proven over time. The company began its activity back in 1977, quickly entered the world market, and today is one of the most famous manufacturers of home pressure meters.

To navigate the prices, you must first decide which AED tonometer is preferable to use for a particular buyer, since the company produces home meters of all types.

Mechanical tonometer AND: characteristics and prices

The mechanical sphygmomanometer is the so-called "timeless classic" in the world of blood pressure monitors. They are a pressure gauge to which an air blower is attached to a cuff. To measure blood pressure, you must use a stethoscope. It is placed over the artery in the crook of the elbow and the process of inflating air into the cuff begins. When the cuff fills up, compresses the artery and the person hears the beating of his own heart, it is necessary to release the exhaust valve and monitor the position of the device arrow.

A mechanical tonometer is the most accurate and reliable, but due to the peculiarities of the action algorithm, it is not suitable for home use.

It is difficult for a person to pump up a pear on his own, monitor the position of the arrow and listen to the pulse, therefore, for home use of a mechanical tonometer, it is necessary to enlist the help of a third-party person.

Today, only two AND mechanical blood pressure monitors are presented in medical equipment stores - UA-100 and UA-200.

Characteristics of the UA-100 model:

• built-in stethoscope;
• standard nylon cuff (22-32 cm);
• smooth adjustment of air release;
• 3 year warranty;
• cost - about 900 rubles.

This tonometer model is positioned as a device for home use, thanks to the built-in stethoscope. The weight of the device is about 900 g. The package includes a convenient case for storing the structure.

A feature of the mechanical model is a built-in stethoscope, which makes it easier to measure

Model UA-200 is a professional mechanical blood pressure monitor designed for healthcare professionals. Its features:

• professional cuff of standard size and configuration (22-32 cm);
• pressure gauge with the possibility of calibration;
• highly sensitive Rappoport stethoscope;
• 3 year warranty;
• the cost is 1100 rubles.

Included with each mechanical device is a special case that allows you to store and transport the tonometer.

Semi-automatic AND models

"Semi-automatic" is the best choice for home use. When measuring pressure, it is necessary to use a pear and pump air on your own, but the determination of the pulse rate and the measurement itself take place automatically. Such devices are a small case with a large display, to which a cuff and a pear are attached to the tubes for pumping air.

Today, in large pharmacies and medical equipment stores, you can find three models of semi-automatic blood pressure monitors.

Semi-automatic blood pressure monitors AND
Model	Functions	Price
	one button control; standard cuff 22-32 cm; Unit warranty is 10 years.	1500 rubles
	large display; standard cuff; color scale for indication of pressure deviation; arrhythmia indicator; memory for 30 measurements; powered by 1 battery (2000 measurements); 10 year guarantee.	2400 rubles
	oversized cuff that does not pinch the hand; arrhythmia indicator; memory for 30 measurements; calculation of average pressure for the specified period; powered by 1 battery; 10 year guarantee.	2700 rubles

To select the best device, it is necessary to determine which AED blood pressure monitor will meet the needs of the user. The most affordable model of semi-automatic blood pressure monitors UA-604 is suitable for a person without any health problems. This device does not have an arrhythmia indicator, so if the heart rhythm is disturbed, the device simply will not be able to take pressure measurements and will turn off or reset the results.

With arrhythmias, it is recommended to pay attention to more expensive models of semi-automatic tonometers. The built-in arrhythmia indicator allows you to accurately determine the pressure based on a series of measurements and displaying the average value on the display.

The main drawback of the listed semi-automatic models is that they are powered only by batteries. With a low charge, measurement results may be distorted, which must be taken into account when using the device.

If the tonometer is powered only by AA batteries, it is recommended to keep a new set ready at all times in order to be able to replace them when the batteries suddenly fail.

The manufacturer claims that the tonometer can make 2000 measurements from one set of batteries.

Automatic blood pressure monitors AND with arm cuff

Automatic blood pressure monitors are perhaps the most popular and in demand. They do not require user participation in the measurement process. To start the procedure, you just need to put on the cuff and press the button - the tonometer will do the rest. AND automatic blood pressure monitors are equipped with a large display and are the best choice for the elderly.

Automatic blood pressure monitors AND

AND automatic blood pressure monitors are distinguished by affordable prices and a large selection of models. All devices are characterized by a combined type of power supply, that is, they can work both from the mains and from batteries, however, the AC adapter is not included in the package of delivery of more affordable models, and you will have to purchase it separately.

The warranty for the main unit of all automatic blood pressure monitors is 10 years.

The UA-1300 blood pressure monitor is the best choice for visually impaired people. It contains a fully Russified speaking assistant who will voice the results of pressure measurements. Control is exercised by means of one button.

Automatic blood pressure monitors AND on the wrist

Carpal tonometers are recommended for all people who lead an active lifestyle. They are distinguished by their compact dimensions and high measurement accuracy, which, however, depends on the position of the hand. Carpal sphygmomanometers must be used correctly in order to obtain a reliable result.

Blood pressure monitors with a cuff on the wrist are lightweight and compact in size. The warranty period of the main unit is 10 years. The downside of such devices is the short life of one set of batteries - only 400 measurements.

Blood pressure (BP) should be regularly measured not only in medical institutions, but also at home. AND blood pressure monitors, which you can buy in Moscow in the Bodreya.ru store, are designed to control the level of blood pressure and pulse. Blood pressure monitors from Japan are of high accuracy, workmanship, ease of use and reliability.
