Blood pressure?


I have a omron Hem-815f blood pressure monitor using your finger, and i was wondering if someone could help me with how you use it exactly and what is normal for it.

the device is with batteries

hi, first of all the answer you just recieved from TinaO was really dumb. From my experience as a home care nurse, these bp cuffs are not accurate at all. You are better off returning it and using the blood pressure machines at the stores. Best to check approx same time each day and keep a record for your doctor. Good luck.

Is it battery driven or plug in? Turn it on and when the monitor starts beeping really alot of times, count the beeps and you should get a beep count of 80/107 lets say and that's normal.

Or low actually which is good. but if you miss a beep count and have not taken beep counting classes this machine is useless to you.

I also got a blood pressure monitor.Mines is the wrist kind.What you mean useing you fingers?A button or something.It should show you on the instructions how to use it.120/70 for some people.I got heart problems so mines should be a little lower.
