First clinically validated blood pressure monitor for use during pregnancy

• Common electronic BP monitors have significant difficulties in measuring during pregnancy and especially during pre-eclampsia.
• They underestimate the pressure by up to 50 mmHg!
• This means that, even when measurements are taken with these devices, pre-eclampsia may NOT be detected.
• Currently, the only reliable monitor which can be used for the measurement of BP during pregnancy and pre-eclampsia is the Microlife BP 3BTO-A(2). It has been successfully validated with a sample of 105 pregnant woman.

"Microlife has produced today's only monitor with appropriate cuff sizes that can be recommended for use during pregnancy."
