Omron HEM-7156 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Intelli Wrap Cuff
Editorial verdict
Grounded in published specifications
Summary verdict: The difference between this and the Rs1,499 monitor in this department is not build quality, it is evidence. This one has been measured against a reference standard by independent researchers and appears on STRIDE BP; the cheaper one has a CE mark, which is permission to sell rather than proof of accuracy. The 22-42 cm cuff matters almost as much -- a cuff too small for the arm is the most common cause of a falsely high reading anywhere.
Who should buy this
Anyone whose treatment decisions rest on home readings. This is the one to buy.
Who should avoid this
Anyone who only wants a rough occasional check and will not pay for validation.
