I've been using an Omron blood pressure monitor for a while now, but it's a older model and doesn't even have Bluetooth. How can I upgrade it?

Due to regulatory and safety concerns, upgrading Omron blood pressure monitor components like Bluetooth is not possible. To ensure measurement accuracy and reliability, blood pressure monitors must be complete, certified systems.

• Exchange your older Omron monitor for one with Bluetooth and data tracking if you want to add them to your blood pressure monitoring routine. You can trade in your old monitor for credit toward a new one at some retailers. Selling your old monitor secondhand could help you afford a new one with the features you want.

• A newer Omron blood pressure monitor with Bluetooth allows you to wirelessly transfer and track your blood pressure data, improving your monitoring experience and possibly revealing your cardiovascular health.
