• Cuff size. The selection covers upper arm sizes within the 22–42 cm range. Check the exact cuff or cuffs included. If you need another size, look for a monitor with a compatible cuff that fits you. American Heart Association
• Model number. Check the model number on the listing and box against ValidateBP. For a child or for use during pregnancy, ask a clinician about validation for that population. ValidateBP · American Heart Association
• Home records. If you plan to use a paper log, prioritize ease of use. If you want to share or export readings, check that the app works on your phone and makes the history easy to find.

How to measure blood pressure at home

Sit quietly for five minutes. Support your back and keep your feet flat on the floor. Put the cuff on your bare arm, support your arm at heart level, and stay quiet. Take two readings a minute apart and record both. Bring the monitor to your next visit to check the fit and your technique.
