Microlife tonometers are a unique development of the company's leading specialists. Its main difference is that it allows not only to measure blood pressure, but also to diagnose atrial fibrillation. And as you know, it is the main risk factor for strokes and myocardial infarction, which can not always be detected at a doctor's appointment.
About company
Microlife Corporation is engaged in the manufacture, sale, research and development of digital medical measuring instruments. She specializes in digital blood pressure and a digital temperature measurement system, as well as environmentally friendly products.
Microlife products include a blood pressure monitor and a universal cuff. Microlife products help monitor the performance and performance of arrhythmias, pregnancy, and atherosclerosis.
Microlife blood pressure monitors
The main advantage of these devices is a fully automated measurement of blood pressure, made three times. After that, the average value is displayed on the screen, eliminating measurement errors and guaranteeing the accuracy of the result (triple measurement technology, or MAM technology).
These devices are simple and convenient to use, and also allow you to obtain reliable measurements. Microlife tonometers have a number of advantages due to the use of unique technologies in their development.
Tonometer Features
Microlife blood pressure monitors have the following features:
- Diagnosis of atrial fibrillation during measurements (afb-technology).
- The ability to determine any heart rhythm disturbance (PAD technology).
- Convenient display sizes, large numbers displayed on the scoreboard.
- Excellent compatibility with any personal computer, making it easy to transfer data to memory.
- The presence of its own memory, designed for 200 measurements.
- Battery indicator Highest accuracy class (class A).
- Cone-shaped cuff that accurately follows the shape of the arm and prevents the measurement error associated with this.
- Stylish design that makes tonometer an attribute of everyday life
- 560 g small weight
- A wide range of storage temperatures - from -20 to +50 degrees Celsius.
In addition, the company provides a 5-year warranty, as well as the possibility of a free warranty service for 10 years. All this once again indicates the high reliability and accuracy of this device.
Supplied Equipment
A tonometer, a photo of which can be seen above, is supplied. It includes:
- Case for storage.
- 4 batteries required for battery life.
- Universal cuff, designed for a girth of the arm, equal to 22-42 cm.
- Instructions in the native language.
- Terms of use.
To obtain true values of the pressure in the arterial system, it is necessary to adhere to the rules of operation of Microlife tonometers and measurement rules.
How to measure pressure
What is the correct arm position when measuring blood pressure with a tonometer? The photo below makes this clear.
You need to rest for 5 minutes before measuring, and also do not smoke or drink alcohol. Take off tight clothes, not roll them up. Tightly, but not squeezing, apply the cuff 2 cm upwards from the bend of the elbow.
The hose should be located on the inside of the arm. During the measurement, the hand should be relaxed. During automatic inflation, do not strain your hand and talk.
The screen displays the value of pressure at the time of cardiac contraction (systolic pressure) and its relaxation (diastolic), as well as the pulse.
The Microlife tonometer monitors important characteristics of the heart and blood vessels that affect the quality and longevity of a person. This allows you to significantly improve the diagnosis of serious cardiac diseases and take the necessary therapeutic measures as soon as possible.
Cuffs
Cuffs are just as important as a blood pressure monitor. Accuracy in measuring blood pressure can only be achieved with the appropriate shape and size of the cuff. That, whether the cuff fits snugly against the arm, will be the key link by which the accuracy in measurement is achieved.
Microlife, through a long development, invented a generation of cuffs that can accurately and quickly measure pressure, while also catering to the needs of customers. The Microlife Tonometer Cuff is available in both soft and hard forms. The cuffs are equipped with color connectors for use with all Microlife 3G blood pressure monitors.
Reviews
Buyers in reviews of Microlife tonometers characterize them only on the positive side. The main advantage that customers put in the first place is ease of use and understandability. In second place is the low price of these devices.
This is especially a good choice for older people, because the device is clear and easy to use.
