AND is the first manufacturer in the world to use digital technology in pressure measuring instruments. Its modern devices allow not only measuring blood pressure, but also detecting arrhythmia.
Features
Devices save performance and perform many other functions. They are used both at home and in medical institutions. The price of the tonometer "AND-777 & raquo; and other models fully justifies their functionality.
Among the features of the devices can be noted:
- high accuracy of measurement;
- affordable cost;
- variety of models;
- long warranty period.
Mechanical tonometers
The mechanical tonometer "AND" is a classic model to which an air blower connected to the cuff is attached using a tube. A stethoscope should be used to measure blood pressure. It is installed over the artery at the elbow, after which the air is pumped into the cuff. When the cuff for the “AND” tonometer fills and squeezes the artery, you can hear the heartbeat. Then the exhaust valve is released and the position of the arrows of the device is monitored. A mechanical device is the most reliable and accurate, but not convenient for home use due to the nature of the actions performed. It’s hard for the patient to immediately pump up the pear, and follow the arrows, listening to the pulse. You can measure pressure with a mechanical tonometer using another person. The manufacturer offers two models - “UA-200” and “UA-100”.
The UA-100 model is positioned as a device for home use, as it has a built-in stethoscope. Included is a convenient case for storing the device. The characteristics of the UA-100 device include:
- weight - 900 grams;
- built-in stethoscope;
- smooth regulation of air release;
- Warranty - 3 years;
- classic nylon cuff - 22-32 cm.
The UA-200 model is a professional device of medical workers. The kit has a special case in which you can store and carry the device. Among its features can be identified:
- calibration capability;
- Warranty - 3 years;
- Rappoport's highly sensitive stethoscope;
- Professional cuff of the usual configuration and size - 22-32 cm.
Semi-automatic blood pressure monitors
Such "AND" tonometers are ideal for home use. When measuring pressure, they use a pear and independently pump air. However, heart rate determination and measurement are performed automatically. The devices have a compact body with a large display, to which a pear and cuff are attached.
There are several models of semi-automatic tonometers "AND":
- UA-604 The device is controlled by one button and is powered by 1 battery. It has a standard cuff - 22-32 cm.
- "UA-705". The device is equipped with a large display and a standard cuff. There is a color scale for indicating pressure deviations and an arrhythmia indicator. Power is supplied from one battery, and the memory stores up to 30 measurements.
- UA-705L The device has an oversized cuff that does not squeeze the hand. It has a memory for 30 measurements and the calculation of the average pressure for a certain period.
Automatic blood pressure monitors on the wrist
Wrist devices are recommended for those who lead an active lifestyle. They are distinguished by high measurement accuracy and compact dimensions. These “AND” tonometers need to be used correctly, because the correct result directly depends on this.
The manufacturer offers several models:
- "UB-202". The device has a convenient cuff, a large screen, an arrhythmia indicator. It is possible to save up to 90 measurement results. With one set of batteries, 400 measurements can be made.
- "UB-403". The device has a large display with backlight, 2 memory blocks and a built-in indicator for determining arrhythmia. It is powered by 3 batteries.
- "UB-201". This model has no built-in memory and an arrhythmia indicator. But there is a large display.
Instruments with a wrist cuff are characterized by light weight, and their service life is 10 years. Among the shortcomings, one can note a short period of operation from one set of batteries - about 400 measurements. In the event of a failure, you can always contact the service centers that perform the repair of the “AND” tonometers.
Automatic tonometers with a cuff on a shoulder
Automatic blood pressure monitors are the most popular devices, because they do not require the participation of the user in measuring pressure. To perform the procedure, you only need to put on the cuff and press the special button. The tonometer will do the rest on its own. The automatic tonometer "AND" is equipped with a large screen and is ideal for older people. Devices are characterized by affordable cost and a variety of models. All devices differ in combined power supply, respectively, can operate on batteries and mains. But in the set of budget models there is no network adapter, you need to buy it separately.
Users have the opportunity to purchase the following models:
- "UA-888". The device has an Opti Cuff cuff and an intelligent control system, a built-in arrhythmia indicator and the ability to save 30 results. The device is powered from the mains with the help of a power adapter and from batteries.
- "UA-777". The device has a standard Slim Fit comfortable cuff and the saving of 30 measurements. There is also a calculation of the average value, a network adapter, built-in indicators of arm movement and arrhythmia. The price of the tonometer "AND 777" starts from 1500 rubles.
- UA-888E The product is characterized by the presence of a large display, a universal cuff, an arrhythmia indicator. The memory is designed for 30 measurements. The food is combined, but the network adapter needs to be bought separately.
- "UA-669". Women will like this model, as the case is made in the shape of a pink heart. It has a universal cuff, a network adapter and an arrhythmia indicator. 90 measurements can be stored in memory.
- "UA-1300". This unique model is equipped with a talking assistant, Opti Cuff cuff, network adapter. She has built-in indicators of arm movement, indicators of arrhythmia and the correct location of the cuff. The user can save 90 measurements in memory.
Reviews
Reviews of the “AND” tonometer show that the models of devices are high-quality, compact and convenient. They can be easily taken with you on the road, they will not take up much space and will help to measure pressure in any situation. Tonometers combine ease of use and practicality, functionality and accuracy. The cost of devices varies from 800 to 6000 rubles.
