Blood Pressure Monitors in Ontario

Monitoring blood pressure should be done regularly in order to identify potential cardiovascular issues, and other potential health concerns. To do this, healthcare professionals and individuals rely on accurate and reliable digital blood pressure monitors. BIOS Medical is a trusted retailer for high-quality blood pressure monitors in Ontario and cuffs.

Types of Blood Pressure Monitors

When it comes to measuring blood pressure, digital blood pressure monitors are the gold standard. Digital blood pressure monitors, also known as automatic or digital sphygmomanometers, measure blood pressure without the need for a stethoscope or manual inflation. These devices use a cuff that wraps around the upper arm, a sensor that detects the brachial artery, and a display that shows systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings. Digital blood pressure monitors are quick and easy to use, often providing readings in just a few seconds. Many models also come equipped with advanced features such as multiple user profiles and data storage.

Common Patient Questions About Blood Pressure Monitors

How often should I check my blood pressure?

It's important to check your blood pressure regularly and to know your numbers. We recommend the 7 Day protocol approximately once every 3 months along with daily/frequent spot checking. For people at a higher risk of heart complications, it’s recommended to check their blood pressure daily. For example, if they’ve been diagnosed with high blood pressure, started taking a blood pressure medication, or if they have risk factors for high blood pressure or conditions related to it. 

What do the numbers in a blood pressure reading mean?

The top number (systolic pressure) measures the pressure in your arteries when your heart beats, while the bottom number (diastolic pressure) measures the pressure between beats (when at rest). In order to learn more about what is considered a high, low or normal blood pressure, visit our blog.

How do I know if my blood pressure monitor is accurate?

To ensure your blood pressure monitor is accurate, it is first recommended to follow all proper instructions for using your blood pressure monitor (as outlined in the instruction manual). Next, take your blood pressure twice daily for seven days. Singular readings at the doctors office might be somewhat skewed or inaccurate, as these readings are taken in a context different from everyday life. If numbers are still concerning after testing the accuracy of your blood pressure monitor with at-home-monitoring, consult your doctor.

What should I do if my blood pressure readings are consistently high or low?

If your blood pressure readings are consistently high or low, consult your healthcare provider to determine if lifestyle changes or medication may be necessary to manage your blood pressure effectively.
