Collection: Best Blood Pressure Monitors for Home Use

Blood pressure monitors used at home for self-monitoring can help determine your “real average” blood pressure and assist your doctor in diagnosing your blood pressure correctly. Hypertension Canada approved all blood pressure machines manufactured by BIOS Medical.

Our blood pressure monitors are digital, and you can measure your blood pressure with the standard upper arm cuff or a wrist blood pressure machine. Hypertension Canada states in their guidelines that patients with large arm circumference, or those that cannot use upper arm cuffs, may use validated wrist devices. 

As a blood pressure monitor manufacturer, BIOS Medical is mindful of the fact that people need to use our products when they are travelling as well. We offer products that are compact and fits easily into luggage, briefcases and handbags.  

How To Determine Your “real average” Blood Pressure

Take measurements in the morning and evening for seven days to get the most accurate reading of your “real average” blood pressure. Do this early in the morning and at least two hours after dinner.

When using blood pressure monitors with cuffs, do the following for the best results: 

• Use the same arm each time.
• Remove tight or bulky clothing from the arm you are going to use for the measurement.
• Sit quietly with your back resting against the back of a chair or firm surface, with your feet flat on the floor. 
• Place your arm on a firm surface and wrap the blood pressure cuff around your upper arm at the level of your heart.
• The blood pressure cuff must end three centimeters above your elbow. If two fingers fit between the cuff and your arm, the fit is good. 
• Rest quietly for at least five minutes before you start the measurement.
• Take the reading and record it in your logbook. Take the logbook with you when visiting your doctor.
