Visomat® Double Comfort blood pressure monitor

The Visomat® Double Comfort is an upper arm blood pressure monitor from the German brand UEBO Visomat®. The blood pressure monitor has been clinically validated in accordance with the ESH2010 protocol and also especially for diabetics. In addition, the blood pressure monitor is listed on the international StrideBP list. You can therefore assume that the measurements are very accurate. The blood pressure monitor is therefore also recommended by the Dutch Heart Foundation.

The blood pressure monitor has a digital screen and clearly shows the upper pressure, lower pressure and the average heart rate. In addition to the blood pressure values, you will find a WHO indicator on the right side of the screen, which indicates whether the blood pressure is normal or elevated. During the measurement, it is also checked whether atrial fibrillation (AFib) and an irregular heartbeat have been detected. If these are detected, this will be indicated by a symbol on the screen.

The Visomat Double Comfort Blood Pressure Monitor combines two professional measurement technologies: the oscillometric method and the auscultatory method (Korotkoff method). Most digital blood pressure monitors only use the oscillometric method, but the Visomat Double Comfort also uses the highly accurate Korotkoff method, which is also used by doctors for measuring blood pressure. This means that this blood pressure monitor uses a built-in microphone in the cuff, which picks up the sounds like a doctor does with his stethoscope when he/she measures your blood pressure readings.

Visomat's Double Comfort also measures pulse pressure (PP). The pulse pressure (not to be confused with pulse rate) gives an indication of the elasticity of the blood vessels. This can be important, because a stiff vascular system can have a negative effect on the cardiovascular system. Research has shown that cardiovascular risk increases if the pulse pressure is permanently above 65 mmHg.

The blood pressure monitor is suitable for 2 people. Each user has 120 memory locations at his disposal. From the memory you can manually calculate the average blood pressure values ​​over the last 3 measurements. The Visomat Double comfort also has a USB connection to connect the blood pressure monitor to a Windows PC. Using the Visomat Double Comfort software, you can analyze your measurements in detail on your PC.

The Visomat Double Comfort also features a Cuff Detection system. This checks whether the cuff is positioned correctly. In addition, there is a motion sensor, which indicates whether there is movement during the measurement.
