Panasonic Blood Pressure Monitor - A Look at the Best Devices on the Market

High blood pressure is an important medical concern and can be deadly if not dealt with quickly. Of course, many people ask the question: How do I know if I have hypertension in the first place? One of the best ways to keep an eye on your blood pressure is with a blood pressure monitor.

There are many brands that make excellent products that provide accurate readings of blood levels, although with so many on the market, it can sometimes be hard to know where to start looking. Panasonic is one of the most accomplished blood pressure monitor manufacturers out there with a vast range of quality products.

The Panasonic EW3122S Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor is an excellent product in the Panasonic range. Priced at around $90, the model comes with the ability to record 84 separate measurements (or 42 if it is used by two people) and auto-inflate technology, where the cuff of the monitor automatically secures itself around the arm of the user.

People who have compared this Panasonic monitor with readings that their doctor have taken have found that the displays of pressure are exactly the same, highlighting the accuracy of the model. It is also a quiet monitor, whereas other products out there can have noisy motors and can become annoying.

The Panasonic EW3152W Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor is another great product from Panasonic, although priced slightly higher at around $120. The model comes with a hypertension warning system which alerts the user when their regular readings are increasing, thus highlighting when additional medical action needs to be taken. The EW3152W also has a larger memory than the EW3122S, capable of holding 180 readings.

As well as being both compact and accurate, the monitor is also beneficially for people as it does not require a velcro arm band that has to be wrapped around the arm. Elderly patients often buy this Panasonic monitor due to its ease of use, as well as many doctors who want an accurate machine in their surgeries.

The Panasonic EW3039S Easy-to-Use Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor is also a popular option that many people opt for. The device comes with a 'reading averaging' function, which automatically measures the last three readings against each other and provide the user with an average blood pressure figure. It also boasts an LCD screen and a time / date stamp, allowing you to easily keep track of your readings.

The Panasonic EW3039S also comes with a three-colour light display, allowing you to use it easily in the middle of the night without having to get up and turn a light on to see the output. However, many people find that the device can be inaccurate as the user has to position their arm in exactly the right place to get a proper reading.
