| Panasonic EW3109 Portable Blood Pressure Monitor is compact but mighty!
Technology and design have come together in the Panasonic EW3109 portable electronic arm blood pressure monitor to
create an accurate and durable machine in a much smaller package.
Using digital filter technology, the EW3109 is able to obtain a blood pressure that isolates only sounds needed
from the artery without being skewed by other noises. This results in an exceedingly accurate blood pressure and
avoids painful over-tightening of the cuff.
Up to 90 blood pressure/pulse readings are stored in the monitor's memory, which helps when keeping track of
readings that you may want to share with your physician. The Panasonic EW3109 will also flash when readings exceed
normal limits.
Very easy to apply alone, the cuff has a unique c-shaped spring that keeps the cuff in position as it is put on,
and only one large button needs to be pushed in order to measure the blood pressure and heart rate.
Consumer reviewers of this model have praised the strength and durability of the Panasonic EW3109 monitor. Nurse
consumers have mentioned comparing readings by the EW3109 to those done on a traditional manual machine using a
stethoscope, and have found them nearly identical.
Pros:
*uses 4 AA alkaline batteries (included with product that last for 500 readings
*very portable (comes with carrying pouch)
*2 year warranty
*clear well-illustrated manual that covers not only how to use machine, but the
basics of blood pressure and what to do to get the most accurate readings
*buttons are large and easily used,to push
*cuff wraps around the wand-like monitor for tidy storage
*bright read-out screen with large numbers
Cons:
*A/C adapter needs to be purchased separately
*extra large cuff for bigger upper arms needs to be purchased separately
*stores only a long list of readings, no way record readings for individual family members
*some what pricier than other models, but well worth it for accuracy of readings and
durability
