Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors by Samsung
Below are the 5 models of upper arm models that Samsung is offering.
-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
As you can see by the names of these 5 models some are automatic and others are manual models. The automatic model
is the preferred model for most people but tend to cost a little more than the manual model. The average price for
the BM-501S Manual Digital Blood Pressure Monitor is between 25 to 20 dollars compared to the BD-3000S Deluxe
Automatic Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor which costs on average between 35 to 40 dollars. Both the manual and
automatic blood pressure monitors will do the same job and are both accurate but obviously the automatic model is
more convenient and easier to operate.
Wrist Blood Pressure Monitors by Samsung
Below are the models of wrist blood pressure monitors.
-BT-412S Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with Touch Screen Operation
-BW-325S Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
Both of the wrist models that Samsung is offering are automatic models meaning that the monitor takes the blood
pressure reading without you having to do any work such as inflating or pumping. The only real difference between
the two wrist models is the touch screen feature offered by the BT-412S Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with
Touch Screen Operation model. Some people believe wrist monitors to be less accurate that the upper arm models but
this is simply not true. Wrist blood pressure monitors can be just as accurate as the upper arm models but the key
to an accurate reading is to rest your arm on a table at heart level.
All of the Samsung blood pressure monitors are extremely accurate but there are a few things you need to avoid and
do before taking your blood pressure reading to ensure you get an accurate reading.
Avoid drinking coffee or smoking 30min before taking your reading as it can cause a spike of 10-15 points.
Go to the bathroom before your take the reading as a full bladder can affect the reading.
Sit down 5min before you take the blood pressure reading, and definitely do not take your blood pressure after
walking up stairs or other physical activities.
Make sure to follow the directions that your Samsung blood pressure monitors comes with.
If you are in the market for an accurate and reliable blood pressure monitor than any of the Samsung models will
certainly work well for you. In terms of which one you should get that is really up to you as each person is
different and not everyone likes the upper arm models or wrist models. It is recommended that you read some reviews
on each and if you are really unsure go to the store and try then out.
