Samsung Manual Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor Review

Samsung Manual Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
Bought it recently from a Target store about a week ago. Once you figure out how and exactly where on your arm you need to wrap it, it gives a fairly stable reading (~10% error between tries). The trickier part is to decide when to stop pumping. The instrument gives almost an inaduible beep when you're supposed to stop, but unless you pump slowly, you will miss it, and end up hurting your patient. So, pump slowly.

My mom purchased this item from Walgreens in January. After several uses, the fabric covering on the band started to pull away from the stitching. Now one side is totally ripped out and the inflatable tube is out of place. The velcro is not compatible with the fabric band. Very poor construction. Do not buy this product!

Microlife Premium Upper Arm Auto Blood Pressure Monitor Review

Microlife Premium Upper Arm Auto Blood Pressure Monitor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
First let me say that I've owned a similar product, WatchBP Home for over three years. So my review is of the company that manufactures and should be supporting their products.
As far as the physical product goes (the BP device), I have no complaints. The concern I wish to pass on to any potential user of this product is to be cautious of buying it, if you intend to monitor your blood pressure using the Microlife product software. The main reason I bought this product was because it purported to allow you to connect and download your results onto your computer, to track and share with your doctor. Sadly, MicroLife were very unclear about exactly which computer systems would work when I made my purchase. On their website the details still aren't much better documented, you'll have to dig.
Because this product has poorly supported software development and tech support, you should be careful. It reflects poorly on the manufacture. I would say in fact that product support actually doesn't exist, only email reply. After numerous email exchanges and phone calls, the promises made to me, still after three years, have never materialized. There have been no attempts to support any software platform besides outdated Windows/Vista. Macintosh/Apple users are completely out of luck. Even the promise to have a web-based product, never happened. I imagine that this is because any R&D goes into product development, not software support. Twice, I was told by different people at Microlife, that their software engineer was working on a native Mac version, and it would be out in a few months. Nothing ever materialized. The lame excuses of "very few people use Macintosh / Apple products" is fallacious and unsupported these days. Any product that requires you to run a Windows software emulator just to function, is primitive and should be avoided.
So please be cautious, if your intentions for this product go beyond just taking your BP measurement. There may be better products, and at a cheaper price, that work just fine.

Homedics Bpa-201 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor, Gray Review

Homedics Bpa-201 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor, Gray
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This blood pressure monitor was ordered for use in both a professional and home setting. The monitor provides great visuals and is highly useful in specific medical situations where someone may have an irregular heartbeat, which can affect accurate BP readings. This unit detects irregular beats and compensates for it in BP recording. It also comes with both a regular cuff and a large cuff to increase accuracy of readings in individuals of larger proportion. This manufacturer was chosen because of its close geographic proximity to our home location, with repair options in mind. The monitor worked well for about a week. Unfortunately, and suddenly, it consistently malfunctioned with error messages that could not be corrected by any means. After a call to the manufacturer, we were forced to return the item to Amazon per instructions from the manufacturer because we had it less than 30 days. We have not reordered this or any similar item to the date of this review. We are disappointed, but not thoroughly discouraged. Other products from this manufacturer have served us well.

LifeSource UA-851THW Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor Review

LifeSource UA-851THW Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
LifeSource UA-851THW Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor
Pros:
- For a single user, software and device work great
Cons:
- Software is not included in the box, and it needs to be downloaded.
- Once installed, software has limitations and the limitations are not printed either on the box or in the attached 19 pages manual.
- Customer support does not work on weekends.
- For four family members, you need to buy four blood pressure monitors. Once you try to create a second user in the software, and to enter the blood pressure monitor serial #, you get prompted with: "Please remember that each device can only be registered to one account. If a device is registered to another account you will need to remove it from that account before adding it to a new account".
I'm going to return mine.

Average Reviews:

I had a cuff sphygmomanometer that was at least 15 years old, so I needed a new one. Technology has changed so much since then, I thought that I would upgrade to the wrist variety. This has so many great functions and is very easy to use. Just place it on and press the button. I work in a hospital, so I made sure to test its accuracy with the ones there, so I can attest that it is accurate as well. The most important feature to me, which I don't think is in the product description, is the case.

Homedics BPA-060 Digital Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
This is a good unit for the money. It is easy to use, has easy to follow intructions and has all the features I was looking for. However, the instruction manual DOES NOT tell you how to connect it to your computer to download stored data and that was one of the primary features I was interested in. (With the use of a USB cable you can download info to a program like Health Vault.) The other thing is that this is a digital unit. Great for ease of use, but not clinic accurate and Homedics states that fact right in the owners manual. My Doctor has often told me that "if it is digital, it is lieing." My unit consistantly reads about 10 points higher than a traditional BP reading taken with a cuff and stethascope. I knew this before making my purchase and my Doctor is okay with the readings. He is more interested in spotting trends between visits and this unit delivers those results.

OMRON H003D Large Adult Accessory Cuff Review

OMRON H003D Large Adult Accessory Cuff
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
My husband has pretty large arms and was unable to share my Omron digital blood pressure monitor until now. This cuff accommodates his MIGHTY PYTHONS and allows him to keep track of his blood pressure. Really great for anyone who does not have the average size arm. I would recommend that you measure your arm first before buying it to ensure that you are within 13-17'. This cuff should not be used by anyone who has a smaller arm since you will not obtain accurate bp readings.

LifeSource Blood Pressure Monitor Review

LifeSource Blood Pressure Monitor
Average Reviews:

I bought this product after a good amount of research among leading manufacturers of home blood pressure monitors including Omron and Microlife. I also currently own an Omrom and wasn't particularly impressed with the accuracy of the readings.
The BHS (British Hypertensive Society) publishes ratings and I carefully evaluated the ones that received the highest A/A rating as well as some of the newer offerings from these manufacturers that hadn't as yet been rated.
I went with this product primarily because it seems to be the only one with the extra large cuff (also offers a regular cuff option UA-280) and seemed accurate. After having had it for some time now I couldn't be more pleased. Readings are quick, machine is quiet and most important very consistent and accurate.
Highly recommend this monitor.

Omron HEM-670IT Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with APS (Advanced Positioning Sensor) and Advanced Omron Health Management Software Review

Omron HEM-670IT Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with APS (Advanced Positioning Sensor) and Advanced Omron Health Management Software
Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
I got this monitor to keep track of my blood pressure so that I could give the printed reports to my doctor. I have one that I got from Sharper Image that is easy to use but you can't upload readings to a computer. The one from Sharper Image was also not very accurate when compared to using a regular doctor grade cuff with a stethoscope. The Omron monitor is much easier to use than the Sharper Image one, is easier to ensure the proper position and the uploading of the readings is very easy. I took the Omron monitor to my doctor to have her calibrate it against her measurements and the Omron monitor was nearly identical. Based on that and the printed reports, I was taken off my blood pressure medication!

Wrist blood pressure monitors are portable, accurate and simple to use. They provide a convenient choice for those who want a second unit for away from home or who have trouble placing a cuff on their arm. The Omron HEM-670IT Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor uses Omron's patented IntelliSense technology, which inflates the wrist cuff to the ideal level with each use and offers fast, personalized, and automatic inflation for maximum comfort. No adjustments are required to select an inflation level--especially convenient for hypertensive users and for people with certain arrhythmia or heart disorders, because their blood pressure is more likely to fluctuate. And with the HEM-670IT's 100-memory recall with date and time stamp, as well as averaging capabilities for the last three readings, you can track your blood pressure and pulse progress as your work towards a healthier lifestyle. The HEM-670IT also features a system that detects an irregular heartbeat as well as morning hypertension, giving you an even better understanding of your heart's health. A built-in hypertension indicator lets you know if your readings indicate a high-blood pressure condition. Plus, you'll have additional peace of mind knowing that the HEM-670IT comes with a 5-year warranty.
Because the HEM-670IT has a wrist cuff, it is particularly helpful if you have a larger than average sized arm. The monitor fits those with a wrist size of 5.25 to 8.5 inches, and it ensures easier and more comfortable use. Note, however, that a wrist monitor does require proper positioning of the device at the heart level. Correct cuff positioning is critical when monitoring blood pressure, fortunately, the HEM-670IT features an advanced positioning sensor that automatically confirms that the cuff is level with the user's heart, thereby ensuring an accurate reading.
It is critical that when using a blood pressure monitor the cuff is the appropriate size and is properly applied. An ill-fitting cuff or an incorrectly-applied cuff can result in inaccurate readings. Consult your doctor or the included instructions for the proper application of the cuff.
Omron Health Management Software Take your health to the next level with the included Omron Health Management Software. This PC software provides a blood pressure and pulse graph that lets you see how your values are trending over time. A morning/evening comparison graph tracks your morning and evening systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. You can also view your most common values and identify variations by time frame with the frequency distribution graph. The software is simple to use, and it supports multiple users. With just one click, you can download data via the HEM-670IT's USB connection and see graphically displayed measurements on your computer screen in seconds.
What's in the Box HEM-670IT, 2 "AAA" batteries, software CD-ROM, carrying case, and user manual.

Q&A - Wrist Blood Pressure Monitors What is the Advanced Position Sensor (APS)? APS ensures an accurate reading. Correct cuff positioning is critical when monitoring blood pressure. Only Omron Wrist Blood Pressure Monitors with APS have a unique positioning sensor that automatically confirms the cuff is level with the user's heart. This helps ensure that each and every reading is accurate. What is Important to know about your Blood Pressure Monitor?
