Beurer BM44 blood pressure monitor (BEU65501)

The Beurer BM44 is a fully automatic blood pressure monitor that measures upper and lower blood pressure and heart rate from the upper arm. The device also warns of a possible arrhythmia and tells you if the device has not been used correctly. The risk indicator on the device screen and the accompanying table provide additional information on the measurement results.

Very easy to use - on and off with one illuminated button. An easy-to-read, large and clear LCD display shows the measurement result. The readings on the backlit screen are visible even in low light. The device has 60 memory slots for the measurement results of two people.

It is good for every adult to know their own blood pressure level. High blood pressure usually does not cause symptoms. You can only find out your blood pressure by measuring it. Measuring blood pressure with a blood pressure monitor is easy and effortless, even at home. Blood pressure is usually higher in the office than at home. When home measurements are done correctly, their results tell your blood pressure level more reliably than office measurements. Home measurement is most recommended to be done with an upper arm gauge.

It is very common for blood pressure to increase with age. One in two Finns has elevated blood pressure, while only one in five has ideal blood pressure. Even though high blood pressure without symptoms seems harmless, it's not worth just keeping an eye on it. When blood pressure is taken care of in time, the serious harm caused by it can be effectively prevented.

Before the blood pressure measurement, heavy physical exertion, smoking and alcohol, coffee, tea, cola and energy drinks are avoided for half an hour. The measurement environment should be noiseless, unhurried and warm. Blood pressure can be measured from either upper arm. It is usually easier to measure a right-handed person from the left upper arm and a left-handed person from the right.

When starting blood pressure monitoring, it is good to check that there is no significant (more than 10 mmHg) pressure difference between the hands. If the difference is significant, the hand with the higher pressure is measured.

The warranty period for the Beurer BM44 sphygmomanometer is five years.
