Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Capable of storing 60 readings by date and time, this battery- operated device makes it easy to monitor both blood pressure and pulse and to track trends over time. Two people can make use of the monitor's memory, with up to 30 past readings stored for each and displayed either as a chronological list or a graph. Or one person can use both memory banks to save past morning and evening readings. The large digital display (1-5/8 by 1-1/4 inches) is easy to read, showing systolic, diastolic, and pulse readings when the cuff is strapped on and automatically inflated by pressing the monitor's power button. When the measurement is complete, the cuff (fits wrists from 4-7/8 to 8-1/16 inches) automatically deflates. The monitor can be turned off manually, or it automatically shuts off in 30 seconds to preserve the two AAA batteries (included) operating the device.

On-screen instructions (in English, Spanish, French, German, or Italian) guide a user through the process. A menu button selects from a list of six features: memory select (for choosing between the two memory banks), preset pressure (for adjusting cuff pressure), memory clear (for deleting a stored reading), language, clock set, and contrast (of the screen face). Another button permits scrolling through stored readings, displaying their average, or viewing the chronological list or graph. The monitor comes in a sturdy plastic storage case, is accompanied by a detailed instruction booklet, and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

5.0 out of 5 stars A lot of bang for the buck - tons of features, great display, February 3, 2004

By A Customer

This review is from: Mabis 04-255-001 Dot Matrix Digital Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor (Health and Beauty)

I just bought this after being worried that my resting heartrate was too fast. Turns out I am doing just fine. But with this unit I will take my blood pressure everyday and then look at my on screen graph after up to 30 days and see how it looks over time.

I was happily suprised at the quality of the unit. 4 simple buttons (any one of which will activate the appropriate feature from the off condition) make it easy to operate and figure out. It comes with batteries - a nice touch - and a study case with a clear cover. Here are three levels of help in the included documentation. A Get Started sheet, a FAQ fold out, and a thorough booklet (in 4 languages) with the important details.

On screen instructions help you through the process of actually getting your BP. You get systolic and diatolic (most only give you the former) as well as pulse readings. The on screen graph is unique to this unit and especially in this price range.

...

Bottom line: I am very happy with the purchase. The only other one I would purchase is the one at Wal-Mart that comes with a printer to give you a hard copy graph of your readings over time. But it costs $89.99 and gives you more components to worry about.

I have purchased several instruments of this type and this is by far the most accurate, the easiest to read and is very comfortable.

I have compared the results with the standard arm cuff monitor and this one produces identical results.

It is easy to set up and very easy to use.

5.0 out of 5 stars B/P Cuff, January 28, 2007

This review is from: Mabis 04-255-001 Dot Matrix Digital Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor (Health and Beauty)

Easy to use and as accurate as an 'old fashioned' cuff. This was a reorder for me, my 1st one checked my client B/P's (about 25/day) for over a year. The only reason I had to purchase another was because the door that holds in the batteries fell off and got steped on. Doesn't look so professional with scotch tape, but still worked as well!!!!
