This simple, fully automatic upper arm blood pressure monitor gives you comfortable, quick and accurate blood pressure monitoring. Intellisense technology ensures that the arm cuff reaches the correct inflation and doesn't pump up too high.

The clinically validated M2 Basic also features a hypertension indicator that displays a symbol on screen if a reading is higher than the recommended blood pressure level of 135/85 mmHg. With a clinically validated monitor, you can be assured that it has undergone tests conducted by independent doctors according to a predetermined protocol, which includes ensuring the accuracy of the measurements (algorithm) of the blood pressure monitor.

Hypertension – what is blood pressure?

• The heart is a very powerful pump that beats steadily
• The pressure created by the heart to pump the blood through the blood vessels is called blood pressure
• When the heart muscle contracts the blood surges through the arteries – this is when the systolic (upper) blood pressure value occurs
• The diastolic (lower) value is the resting pressure before the heart contracts again
• Ideally your blood pressure should be below 140/85 mmHg

There are approximately 16 million people in the UK with high blood pressure, however nearly two thirds are not aware of the fact, which is understandable when there are no symptoms. However, if left, high blood pressure can lead to strokes and heart problems.
