Disappointed
*** UPDATE *** : After our third attempt with customer service they were willing to send us a small cuff to correct the issue. Although we received a cuff that works I wouldn’t count on that happening again so your better off ordering a different monitor or also ordering a small cuff at the same time if 9.4″ is too big for you.
We purchased this blood pressure monitor because it’s the only one that advertised a cuff that would fit my me and my wife (7.5″-12.2″). When we received the monitor we were disappointed to find that the medium cuff fits arm sizes 9.4″-14.2″ and is printed clearly on the box. Do NOT buy this cuff if you have a smaller arm (less than 9.4″).
We did a lot of research to find a good monitor and even looked on the Lifesource site. All of their product literature says the medium cuff will fit a 7.5″-12.2″ inch arm. I called the Lifesource customer service and they said we’re out of luck but of course we can purchase another cuff from them. I also tried emailing them twice, hoping for a better response, but they never responded.
A previous reviewer was able to get a free cuff but we weren’t so lucky. Now, we’ll look for another brand. Lifesource may be a good brand but they didn’t seem to care that all of the literature is out of date and weren’t willing to do anything to fix it. We’re returning the monitor and will try to get Amazon to at least update their product description.
Ideal BP Monitoring Product for Small Children
After hours of searching for a BP monitor that would accurately take my seven year old’s BP, I stumbled into this product on Amazon. It works wonderfully and the best part is that it is digital and inflates on it’s own. Simple/Easy to use.

An excellent product
My old Lifesource BP monitor was, I thought, a bit worse for wear and so I ordered anothert blood pressure monitor made by another company. (Prevention DS-1902PV Auto-Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor) A warning: do not ever purchase anything under the Prevention or Mark of Fitness brand. The Prevention unit was horrible. The first one gave wildly inflated and inconsistent readings and constantly warned me of heart irregularities. A replacement unit did the same. The company has offered to provide a third replacement, but I grew tired of the obviously poor Prevention and Mark of Fitness products, so I ordered a new Lifesource unit.
The readings are dead-on accurate. The Lifesource unit also has an irregular heartbeat feature. I tried this and the Prevention unit apart. The Lifesource unit did not show an irregular heartbeat, while the Prevention unit once again did – as well as a vastly higher BP reading.
The Lifesource unit no longer comes packed with a carrying case, which I consider to be a minus, but it does include an AC adapter, which is a plus. There’s a little scale on the side to indicate the level of your hypertension, which is useless, I think since you wouldn’t be monitoring your blood pressure if you didn’t already know you were somewhere on the hypertensive scale. So the scale neither adds nor detracts from the unit.
Lifesource offers everything you could ask for in a blood pressure monitor. It is easy to use. It is very accurate. And it is covered by a lifetime warranty, a fact that I had forgotten with regard to my old unit.
Lifesource customer service is responsive and helpful.
Altogether a wonderful package and far better than the units distributed by Mark of Fitness under the Prevention brand.

Good item, but how old is it really?
Well I turned down a cheaper listing on Ebay, because I thought the stuff on Amazon was FRESH and NEW. The Ebay listing (for about half the price) had an expiration date of 10/07. I have found vitamins in stores with expiration dates 5 years or more from todays date.
I was happy to pay extra to get here, since I like Amazon and they have never done me wrong. EVERY transaction was ABOVE my expectations.
UNTIL this one. The date is 10/07, so I would say they were probably “new” 2 or 3 years ago. This is similar to buying bread at the store. It is fresh and new about 8 days before the date on the bread. It is about a week old by the time you reach the date.
Just writing this to tell others to make sure they confirm the expiration date before ordering “NEW” from here.
Sorry Amazon, you lost your perfect record! I will probably still buy books and dvds from you, but vitamins need to be fresh and new!

Reads too high.
Exchanging for third unit. Previous units read 15 points too high compared to Dr’s and drug store readings. Very sensitive to position relative to heart. All other features as advertised.
Very sensitive device
Unfortunately, this monitor is very sensitive. You have to be very careful of position of your hand and monitor when measuring. If you change it just a little higher or lower than instructed the results become quite different.

The EW3039S works very well but is not “Ultra Slim”.
Panasonic EW3039s Ultra Slim Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor
My experience with “J&R Music and Computer World” was good but the dimensions for EW3039S are the same than for EW3006S so I would suggest removing the words “Ultra Slim” from its publicity.
You can verify the dimensions at:

The blood pressure monitor is working very well. The three-color light system let me know the status of my blood pressure without having the need of turning on the light at night and I can continue sleeping as a baby so I like this feature, enjoy !.
Excellent Product
Seems accurate and easy to use. I bought 2, one for mom and one for grandma. Both of them love it.
