Automatic blood pressure measuring devices suitable for use in the clinic and also at home for self-monitoring

Please note that BP monitors are usually supplied with a standard cuff (see individual sizes listed below) If your upper arm circumference is outside of the standard range, you should purchase either a larger or smaller cuff as appropriate. This is important because a cuff that is too large or too small will give an inaccurate reading.

Cuff Sizes: Small 18-24cm (7-9½ inches), Standard 23-35cm (9-14 inches), Large 35-40cm (14-16½ inches)
