Although many blood pressure monitors are automatic, you’ll find some that require you to press on a bulb repeatedly to manually inflate the cuff. You can save money by opting for one of these models, and you’ll likely also find they’re more durable than their mechanically inclined counterparts. They also tend to be less expensive, although blood pressure monitors are fairly inexpensive to begin with, so you might find it’s worth it to pay a little more for an automatic device.Relax your arm and place your elbow on the table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.

It's a shame but those inserts are essential to the device's precision measurements. Although you may know your desired numbers, having a little help can come in handy. Models with multicolored lights can show how your reading compares to normal results.If you choose a monitor with manual inflation, you’ll have to squeeze the bulb repeatedly, similarly to the way you’ve seen medical professionals do it. Other home blood pressure monitors do this work for you.
