Getting Blood Pressure machine recalibrated?

Hi All

As far as I understand Omron are not offering a recalibration service at the moment for their blood pressure machines, because of Covid and not working where they can carry out the work.

Anyone know of any other good places in the country offering this service wbere I could send the machine?

Mine is now over three years old and as I understand should be recalibrated.

Thanks.

Might be cheaper to buy a new machine.

I am sure the machines used by health providers are checked for accuracy but I have never heard of domestic ones being calibrated, I would doubt any slight inaccuracy is going to make much difference really? In my experience they are more likely to just fail altogether eventually, I have been using them for 30+ years.

I bought a Boots own label cuff monitor, manufuctured by Omron a few months ago, it was only £30
