This product has proven very satisfactory. It enbles you to track blood pressure and average out your results. A very good tool for those with fluctuating blood pressure. The wireless feature has a limited range so device must be used near computer.

I use this device and the wirless scale on a daily basis. Once the software is downloaded (which is how most software is delvered these days) results are automatically captured for viewing on your computer. I found that using the devices in conjunction with the software gave me the ability to better manage my health.

I had ordered this product from Amazon and when I went back to the LifeSouce web site to download the FREE program that goes with it I found that it will NOT work with a Vista OS, anyother OS would be fine. I was unable to purchase this item due to the fact that I have a Vista OS. I wrote to LifeSource and they were unsure when a new program will become available for a Vista OS.I currently have a LifeSource B/P system but wanted to upgrade to this new one that will keep track of my B/P on my computer, so as far as rating LifeSource products I have to be fair and give it 5 stars.LifeSource UA-851THW Wireless Blood Pressure Monitor. The reviews given for the product may be totally inaccurate as far as the product is concerned. Any electronic B/P monitoring system is GENERALLY for one person only and usually for adults unless you special order a pediatric cuff or you need a larger cuff. The readings are automatically entered into the memory, so giving this product a 1 star is not a fair rating on the item itself.
Hint: if you use a larger cuff on a smaller arm (such as a very small boned person or child) it will give you a higher reading, thus a false reading. If you use a small or regular size cuff on a person that is large it will give you a lower reading, thus a false reading. So, if you are going to purchase an electronic B/P monitoring system or non-electronic B/P system make sure that you also obtain the right size cuff for the person that you need to use it on.
I hope that this information is helpful to you.

This is a one person device, if that is all you're looking for then it will meet your needs, but if you want to use it for the family/wife/husband then you have to purchase one for each user. Not worth the cost. I just wish somone had submitted a review like this before I purchased and I wouldn't have bought this item.

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.
