Product Description

Amazon.com Review

For patients with hypertension, home monitoring can help detect dangerous blood-pressure spikes before they cause problems. Tracking blood pressure over time also gives a better overall picture of health than a single reading at a hospital or clinic, where nervousness can often distort results. The easier the measurement process, the easier it is to commit to this small daily routine--and there's no simpler model to use than a wrist blood-pressure monitor, especially if you travel frequently or need to take the readings yourself. The Lumiscope 1092 wristwatch-style monitor comes with quick-start instructions printed on the back of the cover, so that it's ready to go out of the box. The soft preformed cuff is easy and quick to fit with one hand, and it inflates to the correct pressurization with the touch of a button. (Those with smaller wrists might find the cuff a bit loose; it's best for those with a wrist circumference from 5.4 to 7.8 inches.) It runs on only 2 AAA batteries and automatically switches off after use. With its one-touch operation and compact, slim lines, the Lumiscope 1092 makes measuring your blood pressure as easy as telling the time. Its only downside: wrist blood pressure monitors are more sensitive than arm cuff models to variables like position and temperature. It's not a bad idea to back up your own readings with regular visits to your doctor's office, and be sure to check your monitor's accuracy while you're there. --Mary Park

This review is from: Lumiscope 1092 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor (Health and Beauty)

I bought my Lumiscope1092 and could not wait to try it out. I followed all the enclosed instructions to the letter and away we went to check my BP. Wow!! 202/62...Am I comatose?? I took another one 192/92..whoa! I better get to a hospital Fast!! Wait I'll try it again 185/60 with a 40 pulse. I am Doomed!! Are you getting my point. I brought this product with me to 3, Yes 3 of my Doctors to get it calibrated. Whoops cannot do. no way to correct it. I am stuck with a new toy for myself. These numbers are all over the place. Totally useless I was told by all of my doctors. Only get the mercury upper arm one the doctors use for a true reading. Stay away from this one!!

1.0 out of 5 stars VERY INACCURATE, March 29, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Lumiscope 1092 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor (Health and Beauty)

At the lower range of blood pressure the device is accurate. BUT- as blood pressure goes higher, it is very, VERY inaccurate. My Doctor says it is not safe to use. If you have one, DON'T TRUST IT !!! Using the device has resulted in very misleading info.

1.0 out of 5 stars Very Inaccurate Monitor, May 24, 2005

By 

Green "Red" (NYC) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Lumiscope 1092 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor (Health and Beauty)

Higher blood pressures from 130-150 systolic, and 90-95
diastolic, were wrong. Also if one takes beta blockers for
hypertension, this model gives wrong readings.
The monitor's month, & date stops working 1 year after purchase, despite inserting new batteries correctly.
