HoMedics Smart Sense Technology
By using an advanced air control system to delicately control the deflation rate of the monitor, Smart Sense technology efficiently analyzes and detects pulse signals while adjusting the cuff pressure accordingly. This advanced system offers highly accurate and comfortable blood pressure and pulse readings. Smart Inflate technology determines both the systolic and diastolic pressure during the inflation time, which results in a dramatically shorter measurement time. Best of all, the HoMedics BPA-200 gives you all of these measurements with one-touch operation: You simply strap the cuff onto your arm, push a button, and Smart Sense does the rest.

When you take your blood pressure, the HoMedics BPA-200 automatically compares your results with the standards set by the World Health Organization. The monitor also averages the results with your last three readings, giving you an excellent measure of your progress. Each measurement comes with a date and time stamp, and the built-in memory has the capacity for up to 120 readings for up to two individual users.

Comfortable, Secure Fit and Compact Design
A home monitoring system is only as effective and useful as its design. You don't want to have large, bulky monitors filling up your living space and your suitcases when you go on vacation. The HoMedics BPA-200 is about the size of a bedside alarm clock and comes with its own hard-plastic case and vinyl carrying bag for easy transportability. The monitor's Smart Fit, one-size-fits-all arm cuff is pre-formed for quick, comfortable, and easy fitting. (The cuff fits adult arms between 8.7 and 18.1 inches in diameter.) Supersize digits make it easy to read the results on the display. The monitor runs on four AAA batteries or with an AC adapter, both of which are included. An informative, detailed instruction manual that tells you everything you need to know about the HoMedics BPA-200, in English and Spanish, is also included. The HoMedics BPA-200 TheraP Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor is backed by a lifetime warranty.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great looks and ease of use, but very inaccurate and inconsistant!!, September 2, 2007

This review is from: HoMedics BPA-200 TheraP Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor (Health and Beauty)

I bought this blood pressure monitor (HoMedics BPA-200)for my in-laws at the same time I bought a different model for me and my husband (the Panasonic EW3122S Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor). I bought the HoMedics because my mother-in-law has vision problems, and I felt the large screen would be a benefit. The large screen was great and the way the product operated was very user friendly, however the readings were very inaccurate and inconsistant. We were getting readings that were ridiculously high, like 205 over 165, then a repeat check would get a reading like 60 over 45, and we followed all the instructions on how to place the arm band and not to move or talk while taking a reading, etc. We then compared the HoMedics with the Panasonic. The Panasonic was much more accurate and consistant. The Panasonic readings were very close or the same as readings we took at pharmacies and doctors. Maybe I just got a defective monitor from HoMedics - I'm not sure, but I wouldn't buy another one from them. I was so embarrassed that I gave my in-laws my Panasonic and then I sent the HoMedics back to Amazon. They were wonderful by giving me a label to cover shipping back, but I sent it back a month ago and still haven't received my refund. When I emailed them, they said they have no record of my return yet.

1.0 out of 5 stars inaccurate readings!, August 6, 2007

By

This review is from: HoMedics BPA-200 TheraP Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor (Health and Beauty)

Bought one based on previous reviews. This machine will not accurately read blood pressure (some of the numbers that i got would suggest that I could not possibly be conscious, let alone sitting here typing a review!) Successive readings would yield totally different numbers, and you would expect the numbers to be in close range of one another. Sent it back for an exchange -- same thing on the second machine. Returned the second one as well. Save your time and look elsewhere!

5.0 out of 5 stars I give it an A!, July 4, 2006

This review is from: HoMedics BPA-200 TheraP Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor (Health and Beauty)

This is the best arm monitor I have used. I check my pressure often, and sometimes it can actually be uncomfortable to take a reading. This monitor came with clear instructions, took a quick reading, and was not uncomfortable at all. The armband fits well and it is east to take the whole case around with me. I plan to bring it to my next doctor's appointment so I can compare the readings, but I have not had anything out of the ordinary for me using this monitor. I definitely give this product an A!
