OMRON SEM-2 is the first Blood Pressure Monitor in my house and am quite happy with it. A very handy device. A gift from my fastidious husband to my in-laws. Thinking of presenting one to my parents as well.
It uses the oscillometric method of BP measurement and displays it in digital format. It’s very easy to use. Just insert the cuff. Press the STAR/STOP button and the cuff inflates automatically. When measurement is complete, the cuff deflates automatically and the blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed.
If the systolic or diastolic pressure is outside the normal limits then the heartbeat symbol flashes when result is displayed – this is the hypertension indicator feature.
