Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor specifications

The A&D Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor is a cutting-edge device designed for the accurate measurement of blood pressure over an extended period. This innovative tool is particularly beneficial for diagnosing hypertension and evaluating blood pressure variability, making it essential for both healthcare professionals and patients.

One of the main features of the A&D Ambulatory Blood Pressure Monitor is its ability to perform measurements during the patient’s normal daily activities.
