Before I bought a Microlife blood pressure monitor, I used a device from another company. Why do I get different results with the Microlife device?
• Most digital monitors work on the so called ‘oscillometric method’. Each manufacturer applies his own principles in analysing the measured signals and finding the related systolic and diastolic values. Significant accuracy differences between the monitors are shown by several clinical studies. • Microlife has many years of experience in analysing body signals and detecting the blood pressure very accurately. The high accuracy of Microlife`s detection principle is confirmed by comprehensive clinical studies which are performed by independent medical centres of the highest international standards. • Each manufacturer applies his own principles that are also optimised for the ‘standard’ population. There might be individuals for whom one device is more suitable than another.
