"Blood Pressure Monitor" 2009-10-18
By George M. Naymik
This semi-automatic gives the same readings as a more costly automatic. I compared my readings on this machine with the more expensive automatic that Granny uses. Almost identical readings. It stores the latest pressure readings in memory and gives an accurate pulse. You can order it on line or possibly find it locally for less. I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 since it took a few tries to get the band set the correct way. You don't need to undo the arm band velcro once you have it set for your arm size. Stay healthy!

"Quite pleased but ......." 2010-09-27
By daytripper
I haven't had the chance to check it at the doctor's office but have compared it to the store BP testers. They are comparable as far as readings go. There's no more difference in the Panasonic's reading than to back to back readings on those store testers. I can almost predict what the reading will be after two on the store, taking that difference/drop, subtract it from the last reading and then using the Panasonic. I have a rare condition that taxes my body a bit so a lot depends on how I got to the store tester .... walking or scooter or wheelchair. If I can I'll add on the comparison once I get to the doc's office.I am displeased reading the description.

Panasonic EW3109ACW Portable Automatic Arm Blood Pressure Monitor with AC Adapter, (White)

The AC Adapter did not come with the unit!!!!


"Good monitor" 2009-12-21
By Spencer E Schultz
This blood pressure monitor is easy to use and works well for me. However the batteries don't last long. After a week of testing twice a day the motor was running significantly slower. Fortunately it came with an AC adapter and my need for batteries is rare with the adapter.Overall, it works well for me and the price was good also.

Accurate compared with calibrated devices. Compact. Easily transportable. Would recommend AC adapter making batteries unnecessary unless travelling with device abroad.

  
"Excellent - Accuracy, Battery Life, Logs Readings, Cuff" 2009-05-28
By Ed (Atlanta, GA)
I have been using the EW3109ACW since Dec. '08' 3 to 5 times per week.

- I've had Ormon's before and they're very noisy & cumbersome. This unit is much quieter & streamlined.

- I especially like the cuff which formed & easier to put on. The Ormon's is bulkier and floppy.

- The accuracy is right on (compared with Doctor's office unit).

- It will log the readings so I can enter them to my computer for record keeping.

- I've had the same batteries in the unit since purchase and they're still working. I bought this unit with the AC adaptor but I don't think anyone needs the adaptor. The same unit without the adaptor is on sale for $29 less on Amazon. Save your money.

- Keep taking your BP meds and monitor results. You can take your BP printed record to your doctors so he/she has good historical info. IT'S YOUR HEART!!!

"Don't bother....." 2010-09-15
By Hudi
I tried and and tried to make this monitor work. I really wanted it to work, however after much frustration I decided to return it. I consistently got and "error" message each and every time I tried and it didn't matter what I did. I used both the large and medium cuffs, I repositioned the cuff all over my arm. I made sure the cuff was completely deflated between attempts, I set up the date and time thinking that might make a difference. I even installed new batteries, but nothing worked. After several hours of frustration I gave up. This unit was certainly not going to help my blood pressure along!


"Great for the price but..." 2010-09-15
By Joshua Piorier (Florida)
This is a decent product, especially for the price but there is only one problem...The unit is discontinued. Samsung still offers customer support (which is sometimes difficult to get in contact with) for the Blood Pressure/Pulse Monitor which is great considering I had to troubleshoot some issues I was having with the unit upon arrival, which did get resolved. Samsung eliminated the entire "Healthy Living" line due to the economy, which a Samsung rep confirmed. I purchased this for my grandfather who needs to have his blood pressure and pulse monitored regularly. The cuffs which are included with the unit are not soft cuffs like you would find at a doctors office, they are partially formed with a flexible plastic type of material that forms around your arm to offer a more snug and precise fit. One problem, they do not work well on all arms, but do work well on most. I have tested these cuffs on my arm and some other family memebers arm and received reasonable results. After contacting Samsungs customer support they decided to send a soft cuff (which is an optional piece) free of charge as they are aware these cuffs do not work properly on all arms. I have yet to test it out next to a machine at the doctors office to compare but when I do, I will update this review with my findings to inform on the accuracy. It is very user friendly and the large display is perfect for people who cant see well or just in general.

  
"Samsung Healthy Living" 2010-06-29
By Anibeth (San Francisco, CA USA)
Such a bulky display panel though quite useful for recording the blood pressure. The cuffs are not particularly well made and the diagram on the cuff is quite inconsistent. The readings are not entirely accurate, depending on how to align the blood pressure cuff though the fit is snug and quite comfortable. The air hose connecting the cuff itself into the port at the side of the monitor, always get tangled so it is daunting enough to keep an eye on it to prevent the display from moving too close to the edge of the bedside table. No matter how much time I try to align the cuff, the display shows the 'high' pressure reading so I was confused to what my blood pressure really is. I like the product, but I am returning it to try out some other blood pressure monitor for myself out of concern for monitoring my blood pressure accuracy. The added advantage to this product is the AC power cord which is included so you don't have to waste your time buying the batteries if the battery supply runs dry. I have yet to see how consumer's report rate this product due to accuracy and ease of usage.

"Best Blood Pressure Monitor I've Ever Used!" 2010-03-26
By J. Carl Gordon (Virginia)
My dentist used the Lifesource UB-328 Blood Pressure Monitor during a routine teeth cleaning and exam. I was very impressed with it's operation and asked for the brand information. I searched around, found it on-line, and ordered it. I've been thrilled with the monitor. It's one of the best products I've ever used. Very easy and very accurate. I've owned other BP monitors, but this is the best one I've ever owned. I'd buy it again and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a BP monitor.

  
"Unreliable" 2010-02-11
By Nara L. Watson (Barbados)
I am a young slender woman with skinny wrists, maybe that is the cause of the problem I have with this device. I have unstable blood pressure and this device has alot of difficulty reading my BP. I get alot of Err 1 or Err 2 when trying to get a reading even though I am perfectly still. When it actually CAN get a reading it is usually 10 points higher than my doctor's monitors. This is with new batteries and with the device strapped on as instructed.I do not recommend it if your BP is constantly high and you keep a close eye on it. There are times I suddenly get a headache and when I try to get a reading the machine CONSTANTLY fails over and over again, on either hand, strapped tight or loose, doesnt seem to make a difference.

"Easy to use & great design" 2009-05-20
By K. Cusson
Both my wife & I want to monitor our blood pressure, so this device gets double duty. It is very easy to use. Because of the design of the cuff it is very easy to put on with just one hand. Operation is a cinch - just one button. You can also download a free week journal for keeping track of your blood pressure at [...]. The device comes with a hard carrying case and is small enough to go anywhere with you. Very highly recommended!

Omron HEM-609 Portable Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with IntelliSense


Product By OMRON(2 customers reviews)
Lowest Price : $86.19

Product Description
The Omron HEM-609 Portable Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with IntelliSense is a compact wrist unit that is designed to go anywhere. This monitor is incredibly easy to use -- simply wrap the cuff around your wrist and press start. The built-in cuff fits wrist sizes 5.25 to 8.5 inches in circumference. In seconds, your blood pressure and pulse readings are displayed on the large digital panel. Proven time and time again, Omron's IntelliSense technology ensures accurate, clinically-proven, and comfortable readings. And with a 14 memory recall you can track your blood pressure and pulse progress as you work towards a healthier lifestyle.There are several easy steps to taking your blood pressure with this monitor.

Also, measurements should be taken in a quiet place. You should be in a relaxed, seated position with your feet flat on the floor. Before you take your measurement, rest comfortably in a relaxed environment for at least 15 minutes. Place the cuff over your left wrist with your left thumb facing upwards. Position the unit leaving approximately 0.5-inches of space between the edge of the cuff and your palm. Pull the cuff upward while holding the edge of the wrist cuff and wrap snugly. Make sure to lightly press the Velcro closure with your fingers so that it is fastened tightly.

Technical Details
  • Automatic wrist monitor is the simplest way to take blood pressure readings at home
  • IntelliSense monitor inflates cuff to the ideal level with each use
  • Large digital panel displays blood pressure and pulse readings

"useful item that is quite reliable" 2007-11-04
By Janice M. Hansen (California United States)
We use these products in a prison system. Larger cuffs do not fit through the bars, nor do many of the inmate's arms. These units are very handy to obtain relaible vital signs (I spent alot of time comparing the reading to routine BP cuffs. They were very compatible in the range as long as you followed instructions) It also beats holding out someone's arm and have an inmate try to get it close to your breast as you try to help him hold a stable position. That doesn't happen with these cuffs. I expect to see more of these in the future..they are less painfull and much easier to haul around with you. Try one and see what you thnk.

"Accurate Cuff for a Big Arm" 2010-05-15
By FlySWAGuy (Weatherford, Tx, US)
As a big man with a large bicep, it is difficult to get a good accurate blood pressure reading at home with a normal sized blood pressure cuff. This unit does the job! It is easy to operate. The cuff is easily installed on the arm and my readings are very close to those I get at my doctor's office. The unit appears to be well made and I expect to get years of use from the unit. One note, the cuff is advertised as large and is actually almost extra large. I thought the cuff was going to be too big the first time I tried it. If your arms are not very large, I suggest you use a tape measure and get an exact reading before ordering.

"BP Cuff - Large adult" 2010-07-30
By Intention
This blood pressure cuff is easy to use, and is made of good materials with a couple provisos:

1. The fit of the hose to the gauge head is too loose, and the gauge can drop off and fall in handling. This is not a good thing, as that is the most breakable part.

2. The tail end of the cuff that fits through the flat ring does not have a large enough retainer and will slip loose too easily, making the cuff awkward to apply one-handed for self-monitoring.
3. The fabric of the cuff also slips too easily in the flat ring, twisting the cuff on the arm.

4. The pressure screw on the pump bulb is very touchy, though usable.

While this item was exactly as advertised, and is a very good value, I think the seller is in apathy regarding shipping.They seemed to have absolutely NO idea of when the product would arrive and gave a time frame of four weeks for it to get here. Their method of wrapping it for shipping also showed an appalling lack of professionalism.In short, while the product gets an ok the seller gets an I-don't-think-I'll take-a-chance-on-them-again

  
"Just what I wanted to take blood pressure" 2009-12-09
By D. Foster (Waynesburg, PA USA)
I am very well pleased with this product. I would recommend this blood pressure cuff, aneroid sphygmomanometer with stethoscope to anyone. My physician wanted me to have my blood pressure taken on a daily basis for a couple of weeks because my blood pressure was elevated so I ordered this product and I'm glad I did. It is well worth the money and so far works just fine and I've had this product for over a month and use it almost daily.

  
"Not worth much" 2008-09-07
By J. Ewing (Missouri)
This broke within the first 2 weeks and it was not mishandled or dropped. The dial stopped returning to zero and wouldn't function correctly. I didn't bother sending it back, just bought a better one. Buyer beware.


"Howto for cheapskates" 2008-06-06
By C. Kollars (Ipswich, Massachusetts USA)
Most recommendations for self-test blood pressure devices these days suggest a digital meter, probably because the aneroid ones are just a little bit tricky to use. The cheaper simpler aneroid devices like this one will work well for self-test so long as they have a 'D Ring' (which this one does) ...but figuring it out isn't always drop-dead simple. I was initially flummoxed, and had to refer to other sources of instruction on the web before I got the whole picture. The addition of something as simple as a line drawing (better yet a picture) would help a lot. The instructions say "Slip the cuff up your...arm, placing the bottom edge..." Turns out the 'bottom edge' is the one with the tubes. The instructions say "...position the marking..." Turns out the correct 'mark' is the 'left arm' arrow or the 'right arm' arrow, not the one that says 'index' and not the one that says 'range'. The instructions say "Slip the chest piece of the stethoscope under the cuff...". Expand this very literally to mean the stethoscope should stay under the cuff by itself (else you won't have enough hands). And obviously pump with the _other_hand -not the one with the cuff around it- even though that's not explicitly stated."

"This was exactly what I wanted!" 2010-02-03
By Lavonna
I ordered this based on seeing a nurse use it with a family member. I really liked all the information it gave you. It tells you within standards if the blood pressure is too high and you don't have to remember. Also it is much easier to use than the arm type and that is important when the patient is having difficulty. I would recommend.

"Terrible Shopping Experience" 2008-11-25
By H. Tseng (Richmond, VA)
I purchased this product from a market place vendor called AOTOline Company. This company shipped me a wrong product and charged me $6.50 shipping and handling fee. On the top of that, they asked me to ship back to product to them at my own cost, $5.00, to get my money refund. I totally spent $11.50 for the shipping experience for nothing, but a terrible experience. When I talked to the customer rep, they promised me to give me postage money back if they found it is their mistake. Nothing is communicated back. I asked them to re-ship a product to me over night because I need this product in two days for birthday gift. They said that they do not do exchange, but refund. What a terrible business operation model without consideration of customer service especially they are the one made mistake. I will not to puchase anything from this vendor.

"Great Combo Pak With A Great Price!!" 2010-09-17
By Learn4Less (Southern California)
I bought this when I started doing Mobile Medical Examinations/Phlebotomy. My business associate had one similar to it and I liked hers so I jumped on the internet and started doing my search for the best deal for the best product. This "Combo Pak" was the Best value. I'm happy with the it! Easy to use, great look, very professional product! Glad I found it. Maybe my only 'curiosity' is, the method of my squeeze pump, sometimes seems to be a little 'spongie'? Maybe that's standard & I'm just not use to it because of my first purchase of this type of B.P. pump?? But, I would have to say that, if I needed to buy a new 'combo pak' I still would buy this one all over again. :D

There is less tubing to deal with, which means less noise is being made while you're using the steth. The stethoscope is a good quality steth. I've noticed that it picks up light sounds, even in a noisy clinic (this steth is being used for BP only), and it feels much more substantial than some of the steths that come with combo kits. The kit includes 3 types of earpieces, a couple bells and diaphrams, and a nice nylon case with a name tag.

"Product Not As Specified" 2010-07-11
By Norman Vickers (MIAMI, FL, US)
Product that was sent was Ecoline not Samsung. I would have appreciated being notified if the original product purchased Samsung was no longer available to have had the option to receive a refund or to be asked first before sending a substitute. I know Samsung makes good product, I don't know the manufacturer Ecoline. Was disappointed so I haven't even tried them to find out if they work well.

"Large error in readings" 2006-05-19
By T. North (New Jersey)
This product consistently read my diastolic reading approximately 30 mm too low, although it was very consistent, always giving about the same reading. I took it to my Dr's office and checked it against their readings. The systolic was about right, but the diastolic was 30 low. Several readings were taken to confirm this. I have carefully read the instructions for cuff placement and could find nothing wrong with the way I was using the product.I gave this 2 rather than 1 stars since it was consistently giving the same reading. Maybe this particular unit was bad and others might do better. I think I'm going to give up an digital measurement and go with a completely manual product where you use a stethoscope.

"Simple and Effective" 2010-08-07
By SewElegant
I was looking for a less expensive, less bells and whistles, yet accurate blood pressure monitor. This one fits the bill. It is an old fashioned stethoscope and blood pressure cuff and gauge so you are the one listening for the reading and able to follow the needle on the gauge instead of only being given a digital readout. It's a little like having an actual oil gauge for your car instead of just having a light that is either on or off. The gauge has an automatic airflow valve that lets the air release from the cuff at an even pace without having to adjust a screw while trying to manipulate the rest of the equipment. The cuff has both a right and left arm adjustable velcro closure with an indicator line drawn for the needed fit. Great product.

  
"A good manually operated instrument" 2010-04-09
By Kasy Aiyar (Seattle, WA. USA)
The ADC Advantage Manual BP instrument is easy to use and gives consistent readings. I have moderate hearing loss - yet the stethoscope integrated with the handcuff sounded crisp and loud enough to get a precise reading. I find the dial to be smaller and more difficult to read than a Japanese made instrument I had earlier. It would have made the instrument even more convenient to use and read. Overall, I would rate the instrument - Good.


"Decent BPM for the price" 2010-02-19
By K. Honeyager (San Antonio, TX)
It's fairly inexpensive, and does what it's supposed to do. The stethoscope isn't the greatest quality (I've used much better), but it does pick up the Korotkoff sounds just fine. My only gripe is that I wish the carrying case were larger - it's difficult to get the cuff in the case once all of the pieces are assembled. Just look at the size of the stethoscope earpiece and the size of the case it's laying on and you'll see why it's difficult.

"Because it is a cool equipment" 2010-06-14
By Darlington Mochaa-uchefuna (Baltimore USA)
This equipment is very reliable. In my work place, they tested the machine before it could be used on resident, so that tere would accurate reading. Surprisingly, the machine get get 95% passing mark, and the doctors allow the techs and the Nurses to use them on patients too. I have already order three more of the machines , after i hav purchased mine.

  
"Used Unit Sold as New" 2010-04-07
By Cary (NC USA)
The unit seems ok and accurate. But the one I recieved is going back it was obviously used and returned. The glue sealing the box was broken and the box almost fell open.The cuffs were not clean, the screen had a scratch and the batteries were still in the unit. The manual had a corner turned up from the previous user.

NOT HAPPY WIH REFURB OR USED STUFF SOLD AS NEW.

  
"Good Unit" 2010-03-09
By M. Carroll (Las Vegas)
I bought this to substitute a defective hospital unit. I researched Sony rechargable batteries and found BOTH thier batteries and rechargher unit to be the best buy for this unit. This unit takes very accurate measurements and stores many readings. DRAWBACK. It needs a lighted display. Other than that, great product. The cuffs are sturdy and the connection to to main pump unit is solid and dosen't leak. I take between 20-40 readings per day.

Overall the product is easy to use. You get a nice digital readout that is very easy to read. My only concern is how accurate this is compared to a standard mercury unit.

LifeSource UA-767T Talking Auto Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor



Product By LifeSource(4 customers reviews)
Lowest Price : $92.91

Product Description

The UA-767T Talking Auto-Inflation is an innovative monitor that incorporates digital blood pressure technology and advanced features in a simple design. A&D Medical adds the convenience of an audio announcement of measurement results to the popular One Step Auto-Inflation monitor. When the measurement is complete, blood pressure and pulse are clearly heard as they are displayed, offering independent monitoring to those who prefer audio results in addition to digitally displayed results. The unit shuts off automatically after four announcements of the measurement or may be stopped at any time by pressing the start button. This monitor has been clinically validated for accuracy (+/- 3mmHg and Pulse +/- 5%), so you can be confident that your readings are consistently correct. The measurement range is 20 mmHg to 280 mmHg and Pulse: 40 to 200 pulses/minute. To obtain an accurate reading, it is important to use the correct cuff size. A cuff that is too small will result in a higher than expected reading and a cuff that is too large will result in a lower than expected reading. The UA-767T includes a medium arm cuff size which has a range of 7.5" to 12.3". Also included are a trilingual instruction manual, quick start card, four week blood pressure logbook and warranty card. Both the monitor and the cuff contain a Lifetime warranty and is supported by a consumer friendly Customer Service Dept. which can be contacted at 1-888-726-9966.

Technical Details
  • Voice readout of measurement results
  • Simultaneous readout of systolic/diastolic pressure and pulse rate
  • Large easy to read digital display

"A HEAVENSENT PRODUCT" 2010-07-09
By Virginiasandymoylan (Rahway, NJ)
In times of stress & emergencies no one has time to fool around with an old fashioned blood pressure cuff waiting for a reading (which might be inaccurate). A family member had purchased this item & told me it was a godsend. He was right. It actually "talks" to you & gives complete blood pressure info (reading & pulse). I would never go back to using the cuff. It was a bit tricky to set up the machine but if one follows the directions it can be working immediately. The price was also very reasonable but you also have to have batteries. We use it frequently. Even our family doctor likes this machine. It is especially excellent for a person with poor eyesight.

"easy to use, right size" 2010-03-04

"Best blood pressure monitor" 2009-10-09
By Ajay Bhatia (San Jose, CA)
Best fully automatic blood pressure monitor. Just press button and get the reading. I like the ac adaptor port. This gives an option to use electic outlet rather than batteries. You can use batteries. Easy to use and jumbo LCD is really useful for folks who want to see big reading. Memory function is very handy for average readings and history.
