• Indicators & Features:
  • Irregular Heartbeat Detection (IHD): Alerts the user if an irregular heartbeat is detected.

  • Power Source: Usually operates on AAA or AA batteries, with some models also offering an AC adapter or USB port for power options.

  • Auto Shut-Off: A feature to preserve battery life.

Manual/Aneroid Blood Pressure Monitors (like the Pressure Guard Sphygmomanometer) are also offered, which require manual inflation and a stethoscope (often included or sold separately) to listen for the pulse sounds.
