The iHealth View Wireless Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor Kit is a clinically tested and FDA-approved device that provides reliable blood pressure readings at home or on-the-go.
Wireless Blood Pressure Wrist Monitor
The iHealth View Wireless Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor is a wireless blood pressure monitor that automatically detects and directs optimal arm position for precise results. It stores blood pressure readings on a secure, HIPAA-compliant cloud and allows users to share data with their doctor in PDF or spreadsheet format.
To monitor blood pressure, simply wear the wrist monitor and follow the on-screen instructions.
The monitor uses oscillometric technology to automatically inflate and measure blood pressure.
Monitoring blood glucose level is important since it gives a valuable information to the individual so that he can manage his blood glucose level on daily basis.
Yes, this device is reliable for self-monitoring of blood glucose level in the body. The range of internationally accepted standard error for blood sugar values estimated by glucometer is 10-15% i.e about 10mg/dl up or down from standard value.
Usually, the glucose test strip comes with a unique code so the first step should be to turn the meter on and check whether the code on the test strip and that on the glucometer is same. If codes do not match it indicates that the glucometer is not calibrated.
If the code mentioned on the test strip does not match with the code mentioned on the glucometer then it should be calibrated using the following procedure...
The glucometer value gives an estimate of blood sugar in capillary blood while the lab value gives an estimate of blood sugar in the venous blood. In capillary blood, the amount of glucose is less as compared to the venous blood so the difference is slightly elevated for a glucometer reading.
In a diabetic patient, such problems may get complicated easily, in that case, the anti-diabetic regimen should not be discontinued. Blood glucose level should be tested more often and if serious problems like recurrent vomiting, problem in taking food orally or unstable blood glucose level (high or less than 70mg/dl) starts to occur then immediately visit a doctor.
After an increased dose, the monitoring should be done more frequently to avoid facing any critical situation. Especially in case of new drug initiation or multi-drug therapy with insulin.
It is recommended that always a new test strip should be used for the test.
The battery of the glucometer needs to be replaced.
