We present the rating of tonometers AND 2021. The best 7 models that were selected by our experts based on user reviews and ratings.

There are contraindications, be sure to consult your doctor!

Which tonometer AND is better to choose

The choice of tonometer model depends on the conditions in which it will be used and the frequency of use. Some physical parameters of the user and the presence of cardiovascular diseases should also be taken into account.

• For periodic blood pressure monitoring, that is, infrequent use of the device, you can choose a semi-automatic model. If it is not physically difficult to pump air using a bulb yourself, position 6 is suitable. The advantages of this choice are cost and minimal costs for batteries in the future.
• For daily self-measurement, an automatic model will be more comfortable. This also applies to the case of use by older people, so that the measurement process is as simple and convenient as possible.
• If there is a history of arrhythmia, it is necessary to take into account the presence of an appropriate indicator. All devices from our review are equipped with it. Model 5, in addition to indicating arrhythmia, makes it possible to monitor the dynamics of indicators.
• If the accuracy of the readings and the correctness of the measurement are especially important to the user, a device with indicators of cuff position and movement, positions 5,2,1 is required.
• Some people with hypertension experience persistently high blood pressure. In order to speed up the inflation of the air in the cuff to high values, a convenient measurement function is used to set the expected systolic pressure (1-5).
• If you need to use the device not only at home, but also take it on trips or to work, the best option would be a wrist tonometer, position 7.
• To monitor the dynamics of indicators, a memory, clock and calendar function is required. The ability to synchronize the operation of the device with a mobile application (3) can provide remote medical monitoring by the attending physician.
• When purchasing, you must take into account the size of the cuff by measuring the circumference of your shoulder or wrist. For people with low vision, it is worth choosing a model with a large screen or voice assistant.

What to look for when choosing an AND tonometer

1. Varieties.
   The company produces devices for measuring arterial blood pressure for all categories. Classic mechanical ones with a cuff and a stethoscope are the least suitable for home use, since it is inconvenient for a person to simultaneously pump the bulb, follow the needle and listen to the pulse. Semi-automatic ones are easier to use, since the measurements are made independently, but the user still has to pump the bulb. The most popular blood pressure monitors are considered to be fully automated. To get the result, just put on the shoulder cuff and press the button. Such models are especially suitable for older people. For those leading an active lifestyle, there are wrist blood pressure monitors that allow you to monitor blood pressure, pulse, etc. while playing sports.
2. Accuracy of measurements.
   All tonometers have errors, but devices from AND are more reliable than many analogues. Information about the error limit is indicated on the packaging, so read it carefully before purchasing.
3. Additional functionality
   . For people with arrhythmia, it is necessary to purchase equipment with a special indicator showing a rapid heartbeat. The WHO scale will allow you to assess the degree of hypertension and, if you receive poor readings, consult a doctor.
4. Modern devices
   have built-in memory, thanks to which the latest measurements are saved. Some models have several cells so that different family members do not get confused and have individual storage.
5. Nutrition.
   AND tonometers can be powered from the mains or from batteries/accumulators. For home use, we recommend purchasing one with the first type of power supply, but if you often have to take the device with you on the road and need mobility, then prefer a battery-powered device or one with a built-in battery.

Tonometers

Tonometer: apparatus for measuring pressure

What is a tonometer:

A tonometer
is the most accurate device for measuring blood pressure. It is used not only in medical institutions, but also at home. The device allows you to timely predict and monitor your health status, determine an increase in blood pressure and prevent a possible heart attack or stroke. A tonometer is an indispensable device for people suffering from hypertension. Various factors influence blood pressure. This includes physical activity, psycho-emotional state, consumption of caffeine-containing products, sudden changes in weather, stress and much more. These factors lead to sharp fluctuations in blood pressure levels and distort information about the true level of blood pressure. A more accurate and informative indicator of the true level of blood pressure is the value of Average Pressure. Averaged values ​​of pressure measurements on different days provide more accurate information about the load on the circulatory system than the values ​​of single measurements.

Our online store offers tonometers in the following categories: automatic tonometers, semi-automatic tonometers and mechanical tonometers.

Automatic blood pressure monitor

Automatic blood pressure monitors
are divided into two classes, such as:
automatic shoulder blood pressure monitors
and
automatic wrist blood pressure monitors
. Automatic shoulder blood pressure monitors are suitable for all age groups, and automatic wrist blood pressure monitors are most recommended for young and middle-aged people with symptoms of hypertension. All modern automatic blood pressure monitors have a memory for several dozen recent measurements with date and time registration. In addition to measuring blood pressure, automatic blood pressure monitors record the pulse and diagnose arrhythmia.

Semi-automatic blood pressure monitor

To use a semi-automatic pressure meter,
you do not need AC power or an adapter. The function of a compressor that forces air into the cuff is performed by a silicone blower (bulb).

Mechanical tonometer

Inexpensive mechanical blood pressure monitors
consist of a pressure gauge, a pump (bulb), a cuff and a stethoscope. Most suitable for specialists - cardiologists, therapists and general practitioners.

Omron tonometer

One of the most popular manufacturers of tonometers is OMRON Healthcare, Japan. OMRON tonometers are presented in our store in two dozen models. A distinctive feature of OMRON tonometers
is the Intellisense intelligent measurement technology. Intellisense is a unique cuff technology that controls the measurement process and allows you to take into account the individual characteristics of each user. A tonometer with Intellisense measures pressure while the cuff is being inflated.

B.Well tonometer

The second popular manufacturer of tonometers is B.Well Swiss, Switzerland. We offer several dozen tonometers from this manufacturer. B.Well tonometers
have the Intellect Active function - measurement when air is pumped into the cuff.

AND (A&D) tonometer

Japanese AND blood pressure monitors have the Intellitronics function; the AND UA-1300 model is capable of communicating information by voice during the measurement process.
One of the most popular tonometers AND UA-777 - low price and high quality made UA-777 a truly popular tonometer. When choosing a tonometer, a buyer usually asks the question: which tonometer is the most reliable and accurate
