Product Description

A&D Medical has developed state-of-the-art measurement technology to monitor blood pressure readings in the morning and afternoon. The AM/PM memory lets both patient and health care provider monitor spikes between morning and afternoon, allowing physicians to properly prescribe medication. This wrist monitor is smaller, lighter and more compact than other wrist monitors and is ideal for travel. Unlike other monitors that measure blood pressure during deflation of the cuff, the Advanced Memory Wrist monitor measures blood pressure during cuff inflation for a faster, more comfortable reading. This monitor stores the last 60 readings, 30 AM and 30 PM. The Advanced Memory Wrist monitor also offers the Pressure Rating Indicator and Irregular Heartbeat detection. The Pressure Rating Indicator provides a snapshot of your blood pressure classification based on your measurements. In addition, this monitor alerts the user of the presence of an Irregular Heartbeat and provides accurate blood pressure and pulse rate measurements even when an Irregular Heartbeat occurs.

3.0 out of 5 stars Very sensitive device, February 27, 2006

By	GD "GD" (NJ) - See all my reviews

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.

1.0 out of 5 stars LifeSource UB-512 qualified initial assessment, August 27, 2007

By	B. Huff - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I have for some time been using an Omron HEM-704C at home to track my blood pressure, but purchased the UB-512 so I'd have something more mobile. I subsequently have been appalled by the contrasting disparity in the readings of these two devices, with the HEM-704C giving readings such as 110/60 while the UB-512 virtually simultaneous readings vary from 152/66 to 220/75. It is well understood that blood pressure readings can vary, but when it is to this degree then the readings must be considered suspect.

I tend to regard the Omron as more accurate since its readings in past have not been that different from readings I've gotten when I'm at the doctor's office, and because its separate readings vary so much less than those of the LifeSource monitor. Nevertheless, as indicated above this is a qualified initial assessment as I can no longer be positive what my pressure is (unless I'm in a doctor's office).

The UB-512 appears to function well mechanically, but if you purchase this item you might want to verify its accuracy by comparing it with another instrument you know to be accurate.

1.0 out of 5 stars The monitor gives erratic readings, January 29, 2009

By	P. Bhowmick (CA, USA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I recently purchased this Lifesource BP monitor and had to return it immediately because the readings were erratic and the product isn't reliable at all. I tried it on my wife and myself and the device wouldn't give reasonable readings. We followed all the instructions as per the manual and also tried fitting the monitor in different places on the wrist, it still couldn't give accurate readings.
I wouldn't recommend buying this product unless you have tried it before making the purchase and compared the readings with the readings at your doctor's office.
