LifeSource UA-100 Home Aneroid Blood Pressure Monitor Review

I own several different electronic blood pressure testers, and each of them gives a different value when I test my blood pressure. Some register higher and others lower. It can be confusing and cause problems.

Some time back I rushed off to an emergency hospital thinking my blood pressure had gone through the roof, because my expensive new electronic tester showed my blood pressure kept going up every few minutes.

All that had gone up was my systolic pressure because of the panic and fear caused by the wrong diastolic reading on the machine.

With the old fashioned sphygmomanometer I can always see very quickly where my blood pressure is at. I can soon tell when it has gone excessively high, and I don't have the fear of waiting while the electronic tester pumps and repumps and slowly ticks down to reveal a high blood pressure.

Talk about white coat hypertension? I think these electronic testers cause it more than sitting in a doctors office.

If your bp fluctuates a lot I highly recommend you get this simple tester. It comes with the stethoscope connected making it really easy to test your pressure any time.

It takes a bit of practice to use it, but you need to go slow and not be in a hurry to let the air out too quickly, or you miss the readings. But the great thing is you can very quickly pump up and find the top reading, and very quickly let it out to find the bottom reading, without waiting through the painful beeping of the other electronic monitors until the final reading shows.

Try using it on both arms also to compare readings. And you will soon get to know your body and your regular blood pressure readings. Then you can confirm with the other monitors and see how accurate or inaccurate they are.

LifeSource Mini Manual Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor Review

I'm happy with this product because it's accurate (compared to Dr.'s office) and easy to use.I think it's superior to many other blood pressure cuffs in that it's batteries last very long compared to those with an automatic pump.I've owned the type with the automatic pump in the past and the readings tend to lose their accuracy as battery power wanes (which is on the order of 10-50 times faster for the automatic pumps).

The instruction booklet was helpful in interpreting the results and taking single readings with an ounce of skepticism, since readings can be temporarily off due to stress or other factors.One thing that I didn't find in the instruction booklet but should have been in there is that one should make it a point not to stare at the blood pressure monitor while it is in its countdown and instead think about something else, other than blood pressure, entirely.This simple exercise (which is realistic unless you are usually thinking about blood pressure throughout the day) tends to lower the diastolic number by as much as 10-15 points if you are normally inclined to get stressed about the readings even while taking them.

This monitor has been clinically validated for accuracy (+/- 3mmHg and Pulse +/- 5%), so you can be confident that your readings are consistently correct. The measurement range is 20 mmHg to 280 mmHg and Pulse: 40 to 200 pulses/minute. Included with this hand-held monitor is the A&D Medical Irregular Heartbeat feature that alerts the user and provides an accurate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs.

In addition, this energy efficient monitor can perform approximately 2,000 measurements with just one "AA" battery (included). To obtain an accurate reading, it is important to use the correct cuff size. A cuff that is too small will result in a higher than expected reading and a cuff that is too large will result in a lower than expected reading.
