Omron HEM-432 Manual Blood Pressure Monitor

Omron is a leading manufacturer of blood pressure monitors, and is probably the leader in devices for home use. Most of its units are automatically-inflating devices, but the HEM-432 is operated manually, and thus is cheaper than the automatic models.

As many as seven million blood pressure monitors are sold annually in the US, but despite this it is very hard to find online any objective reviews.

Here’s a review from a doctor of the Omron HEM-432 blood pressure monitor, placed on the Amazon.com website:

I like this device-- it's very affordable and works well. I bought one to test and have been pleased with its accuracy and ease of use on myself and patients.

In addition, it stores 14 readings so you can take it to the doctor and let him review your last 14.

I think this is a must for anyone with borderline to high BP as they can easily test their own BP at home and avoid that "white coat" elevation that is common when the only readings are in the doctor's office.

I recommend it highly.
