Hi whats the difference between a wrist
model and the pump model blood pressure
units? Is there a difference between
accuracy?
I curently have a omron blood pressure t5
intellisense but it shows a different
pressure every time I test it? If I do
one in one hand and do another one in
other hand it would be different if I do a
hand 2 times I will get different
readings? why is this
i also tested this on omron blood pressure
auto m5 the same thing happened??
The reading were something like this:
( 119,68 ) ( 102,48 ) ( 112, 58 ) ( 115,
52 )
i wanted to know if this is the same with
wrist ones do those have the same problem
or do they have better accuracy?
Thanks alot

I've only used the pump models so can't
tell you about the wrist version. As to
the variability in the readings, are you
waiting about 10 minutes between them?
Otherwise your system may not have calmed
down and may be giving you goofy
readings.
After a while, you get a feel for what
your blood pressure typically runs and if
you get an odd reading, take another after
about 10 minutes and average the 2.
why is this
