Blood pressure reading 150/76. Manual Blo...

Please let me know if this OMRON machine needs to be calibrated. Why the difference in blood pressures between both devices. I am a nurse who took my dad's BP manually, after he was sitting for 10 minutes. We took the digital BP right after the manual blood pressure was taken.

Is there a calibration option for this machine.

A monitor using Hg is only a valid monitor reading. Most electronic devices produce approximate results and are mostly good for taking several readings daily and obtaining a mean daily BP. Device calibration appears to be not accessible to the the user.Also, depending on age & condition of your dad, sequential reading must take place after elapse of enough time for circulation to be at steady state in the arm again, or if you immediately after a measurement make another, even with the same monitor you will obtain a different result.
