I have to buy BP machine for my father and take it to India.I have no idea what to keep in mind while buying one.What is the price range....

My brother said may be you can get BP and pulse monitoring in one machine.

Any suggestions will be helpful as in what to keep in mind and from where to buy.

Thanks in advance!

These are excellent machines and are also very popular. My parents have been using HEM 741 for couple of years now.

Yes, Omron has the patent of BP Machines. However, Digital machines are not 100% accurate, but OMRON brand is the closest.
I was looking it for my Father and I found it cheapest at Costco.
It was about 79 Dollars. Even in Omron there are various models but go with the largest one.

Largest means which comprised of all the features. Some important are like largest cuff size which is flexible enough to adjust regular and large shoulder. It also detects irregular pulse. And the most important which comes with AC adaptor as the perfection is greater compared to which run by batteries.

When using these electronic blood pressure machines in India, keep in mind that there is a difference in reading between the traditional mercury based machines still used in India and the newer digital machines.

My parents were confused for several months when they first starting using the electronic machines, until we confirmed with the doctor and did research online and found substantial studies and evidence on the Internet about the difference in readings.
