Arm Blood Pressure Monitor

An arm blood pressure monitor is a device used to check your blood pressure by wrapping a cuff around your upper arm. Here’s a simple way to understand it:

1. Cuff: Wrap it around your upper arm.
2. Inflate: The cuff tightens to stop blood flow temporarily.
3. Deflate and Measure: As the cuff deflates, it measures how hard your heart is pumping (systolic pressure) and the pressure when your heart relaxes (diastolic pressure).
4. Readings: The device shows two numbers, like 120/80, which helps us understand your heart health.

Using this monitor at home can help you keep track of your blood pressure and manage conditions like high blood pressure.
