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 Lifesource may be a good brand but they didn’t seem to care that all of the literature is out of date and weren’t willing to do anything to fix it.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.
