Blood Pressure Monitor Reviews

Samsung Blood Pressure Monitors

The giant Samsung conglomerate of Korea is developing a growing range of blood product monitors. According to the company website, it currently markets five upper-arm models and two wrist units. However, not all models are available at all retailers. 

Upper Arm Models

* BSP-4007 Premium Deluxe Blood Pressure Monitor

* BT-9000HL Deluxe Thinline Blood Pressure Monitor

* BD-3000S Deluxe Automatic Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor

* BA-508AC Automatic Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor

* BM-501S Manual Digital Blood Pressure Monitor

Wrist Models

* BT-412S Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with Touch Screen Operation

* BW-325S Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor (picture)

Samsung was one of half-a-dozen companies rated as "producing high-quality, clinically tested monitors" in an excellent article in US Pharmacist journal titled "Home Blood Pressure Monitoring - A Technology That Has Come of Age".

Otherwise, however, it is difficult to find online objective and independent evaluations of the company and its products. For most potential buyers, the best guidance will be the consumer reviews at sales sites like Amazon.com. These are hardly scientific, but they often provide valuable insights into how well (or badly) a product actually works in a real home setting.

Here are a couple of customer reviews of the BW-325S wrist blood pressure monitor:

* You have to position the unit correctly to get an accurate reading, this takes a little bit of practice. The unit is easy to use and small enough to take with me almost everywhere I go. Handy for checking my BP when I think I may be stressing out.

* I found this tensiometer is very accurate, the mistake range is never over 5 mmHg up or down when you use it the right way, but you have to be clear that this is just for home use, electronic tensiometer can never replace a manual one.
