Pro And Cons Of Fingertip Blood Pressure Monitors

Pros

• These are all lightweight, portable, mercury free and easy to use digital devices.
• Good if you travel a lot to keep up with your systolic and diastolic readings.
• Since they do not contain arm cuffs children are really comfortable with them.

Cons

• Less accurate than other digital blood pressure monitors.
• Body temperature and finger positioning can cause fluctuation in the readings.
• Being new in the market, not all finger blood pressure monitors are FDA approved.
• These monitors cannot be washed so chances are that contagious materials may grow in the unit. So I highly recommend you purchase your own monitor.

When looking closely at finger blood pressure monitors and how they function, I observed that fingertip blood pressure monitors are good for monitoring blood oxygen but for systolic and diastolic readings it is recommended that you stick to conventional monitors.

If you absolutely have to use one, I recommend that you get your doctor's advice first.
