Omron S1 (НЕМ-4030-E)

To a simple layman, the name of the Omron brand is familiar from medical devices for home use. In order not to be considered unfounded, let's break down the ins and outs of the S1 semi-automatic tonometer.

semi-automatic

The main mission of measuring the level of blood pressure in Omron S1 is performed by automation. But without complicity, she still can not do it manually. At the beginning of the procedure, the user must inflate the cuff with a rubber pump. To achieve uniform coverage of the forearm and minimize pain when squeezing the arm, the cuff of the device has a fan-shaped shape.

Informative screen

The device broadcasts the results of measurements of blood pressure and pulse on a three-line monochrome screen. The characters on it are clearly visible even to visually impaired users. But the device does not give sound prompts, nor does it signal a sound about a high level of pressure. The high pressure icon is displayed on the screen of the tonometer if the measured values exceed the norm of 135/85 mm Hg. Art.

Balance of price and quality

Another pebble in the garden of the model is the lack of an icon for indicating the remaining battery charge. By the way, a tandem of AAA batteries is assigned to their role. But these are all trifles against the background of high measurement accuracy, a “camping” size of the device and a tasty price. The Omron S1 is easy to use, gives minimal measurement error, and will last for many years without breakdowns.
