Blood Pressure Monitor

pressure cuff

I was very happy with the pressure cuff I purchased. It was the exact one I was looking for and was much cheaper from Amazon than from the manufacturer. I received my purchase faster than expected. So, I’m pleased with my Amazon purchase once again.

It’s wider than the pre-formed cuff and took a little getting used to. It doesn’t pinch like the other cuff and can be used on other members of the household since it’s adjustable.

I’m glad I made the switch. The cuff arrived quickly. I ordered a new cuff. I would order from this seller again.LifeSource UA-281 Blood Pressure Monitor Cuff, Large (14.2″ – 17.7″)

Easy, inexpensive way to keep up on your health

I was told by my doctor to keep track of my blood pressure. Being a gadget guy I wanted it to also report to my computer. However, I am trying to be goof with money and only spend cash so I was a little restricted witht he money. This little unit stroes so much data that I can just carry it in to the doc and she can read it. The fact that it allows you to test at the forearm and not the bicept makes testing yopurself a lot easier.

readings are not accurate

Last week my father took his meter to the doctors office and they were getting manual cuff readings of 100/60 but the talking blood pressure cuff kept reading 130’s/90’s. This is too big of a difference to ignore.

Microlife 3AC1-PC Software Quirk
I learned the hard way that the software will only work if your C: drive is your system partition. If not, it will fail when you start it up. Unfortunately, unlike more than 99% of the software available for PCs, this software won’t let you choose where to install it; instead, it automatically installs itself on your system partition.

While this won’t be an issue for most home PC users, it was for me. Hopefully this review will help others who have the same problem.

Nice BP Meter, Software Need Work
The meter is very nice and seems reliable. The software is ok but lacks some features. There’s no way to input readings taken manually using another meter. You can only import this unit’s patient files. You can export to CSV, but you can’t import a CSV. Installing on a Vista system was problematic.

Blood Pressure cuff

this is an awful product, I sent it back to the manufacturer. Not only the readings are way off (I checked it against 3 other Blood pressure monitors), but it comes in a plastic pouch that reeks of a toxic plastic smell.

I would give it a 0 if I could. do not waste your time or money.

RN review

I used this sphygmomanometer only 10 times and it blew the needle off inside the controls. I found it difficult to self apply and impossible to hold the stethescope in place and pump and see the readings at the same time. I am a nurse and would not recomend this kit for montitoring your own pressure.
