Worth the money!
By AO4U96ZQZV9BL on 2006-08-08
Very good item. Gives accurate reading. I took it to my doctor and compared the values with what my doctor took. Fast and easy to operate. I follow all the instruction to get reading and it always gives me right reading!

This item is easy to handle and understand.
When I brought it to the doctors office I found out that it is very accurate.
Nice product, no complaints
By AYITDWTDQMBJ on 2006-03-03
I've only had my monitor for a few weeks so I can't speak to it's long term performance. So far however, I'm very satisfied. I work in a hospital so the first thing I did was compare the results of the LifeSource monitor to the real thing. The comparative results were basically the same. I compared the results of a friend's BPs and it appears that this device is pretty reliable. It's easy to operate,easy to read and small enough to take with you to work, trips, etc. I would caution anyone who's wrist circumference is close to the upper limit (7.7 in.)... My left wrist is 6 3/8 inches and it's a very tight fit...
LifeSource UB-328 Wrist Auto Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor
By A2CLJVVJZGUPVK on 2006-03-20
The blood pressure monitor did not work properly. The size and style of monitor was fine unfortunately the readings scored approximately 40 points higher than my acutal blood pressure reading at the doctors office. Even though I felt fine, I had to go into my doctors office late one evening (which was an inconvenience) because the readings were off the chart!
Works great for the price
By A3CF1PGHB5NZ4 on 2006-03-22
It is difficult to find a wrist BP monitor at less than $50.00. This one works great. I've had it checked several times against a mercury unit and it was within 2 points. Does not have any bells and whistles, but if you are looking for an inexpensive accurate monitor this one is great.
- Garbage!! Completely inaccurate
By A2QHI2GDM0O8XK on 2006-03-29
I used it for the first month and its completey useless. I was getting readings that were twice as high/low then my usual pressure. I have changed batteries many times and used it on many people and still incorrect readings. WASTE OF MONEY!!
- Great Price, A Caution about the Battery Issue...
By A88W7ZRYDWWUD on 2006-07-08
I bought a similar monitor four years ago and paid quite a bit more for it then.
As one reviewer noted, there is a battery issue with this monitor. I put in fresh Duracells, and it did not work at all. I tried two more sets and checked for a good fit, but it failed. However, a crummy imported set of AAAs kicking around in my drawer, those worked. The imports appear to be a tad smaller than the Duracells, so they probably make contact in a different spot.
I rate it a 4 star because I'm thinking of the extra trouble it will be to get batteries that work with it. I'd still say it's a great monitor to have, but don't plan on using Duracells.
- Easy to use
By A1JCLM8QTZVPR1 on 2006-02-24
The device is small and simple to use. I recommend it. I am just not exactly how sure it 100% accurate but I trust it.
- Works as advertised - great value
By A386LWY29QCLS8 on 2006-03-09
I ordered another monitor from another dealer and it was DOA. Then I ordered this monitor and it continues to work well.
- Functional and inexpensive
By A1J7LKMZG3ZVLU on 2007-01-18
Nothing fancy about this blood pressure monitor. But, it's easy to use and its readings seem consistent with what my doctor gets. I was concerned about the size because I read a review indicating that it would not fit a large wrist. My wrist is a solid 7 inches and it works fine.
- Highly recommend this BP monitor
By A2OENJ0GT31J9I on 2007-01-31
Its small, compact, easy to use, and the most important of all it has given accurate results consistently. I have given it to my parents, and they find it very convenient to use. Matches with the BP and pulse reading taken at a doctors clinic. I have bought omnitron's arm BP monitor, which was bulky and didnt give accurate results.
- Helpful and very good product for the home user!
By A2XDUIBZ3ATLEV on 2006-02-28
I have found this to be a very useful product!! And I do think that the reading are more accurate than what my doctor always gets when she checks my blood pressure and pulse rate. She had asked me what the rates were when I took it at home and that's the reason I purchased this product. I can recommend it for anyone who wants to be able to easily check their own readings as it is very easy to use.
- Good gift
By A1YKR8SHOU1LFO on 2006-03-28
This is a good gift for parents or anyone you love. Liked it very much. Did not have any problems with its functioning whatsoever and works as described.
- Innaccurate & Inconsistent
By A2JYIDH7JIG48H on 2007-03-26
I got this when my mother's doctor said she should be checking her blood pressure at home. We tried if for about 3 weeks, and after getting wildly inconsistent results, we took it to the doctor's office to compare with their meters, and make sure we were using it right. The first time it varied more than 20% above the doctor's reading; the second time, almost 20% below! The doctor said wrist monitors are usually not as accurate, and recommended we return this and get one used on the upper arm, like his. I just wish he'd said so in the first place. Anyway, we returned this and got a HoMedics BPA-200, and so far it appears to be more consistent, with less than 8% variance from the doctor's meter. Of course it cost more.

It does not fit all wrist sizes.
Still very useful and convinient.
Because of its compact size and carry box very handy in travelling also.
- Not accurate
By A1NWR3Y1JTPT84 on 2006-11-10
The results vary a lot depending upon how you are keeping your arm. It's too sensitive to the position so you will never know if you got it right.
- Simple and Accurate
By A60NWWM9MVHKL on 2007-03-22
Very easy to use, gave accurate results (compared with manual apparatus) besides it came for a great price....overall a great product
- Easy to use
By A3TZX9CJVECQQS on 2007-04-01
Very straight-forward (but be sure to read the instructions, so you can utilize the memory features). I would recommend to anyone needing to keep track of their blood pressure.
- Readings not reliable
By A25RIY77JH9P4P on 2007-07-26
While easy to use this product does not correlate well with manual blood pressure readings. It read high on the several people I checked.
An RN
- Works well.
By A39O70DR5RQKSJ on 2007-12-26
I've had this unit for several months and I've been very pleased. I use it pretty much every day.
I have a "jumpy" heart, and at times my heart rate is too fast for no reason.., so I use this to keep track of what's going on.
Great features on this unit: the battery lasts for a long time, it reads pretty quickly, it has held up for months, the wrist band fits well and is adjustable for much smaller/larger wrists (mine is average woman's wrist size I think)
BEST FEATURE FOR ME: It has a little heart symbol at the bottom that only comes on when your heartbeat is irregular, which is very helpful in figuring out if I need to take my medication or just settle down for a few minutes.
And, if you have this issue, (or blood pressure issues), it's great to have these little gems @ home because you can use them for bio-feedback (meaning, you can see what/when your heart rate/blood pressure are not good, and what/when they are, so you can make informed lifestyle decisions, like I know I can't eat chocolate or drink caffiene, and alcohol isn't real great either)
Not so great: I use this thing a lot in my room at night, and it has no internal light.., The numbers show up fine in the daylight or normal room light, but it's very hard to read if I'm not in a normal-lighted place.., so I have to use a little flashlight or have the bedroom lights on. When I'm trying to relax to lower my heart rate, or trying to sleep.., I keep the lights down as I find this restful, and I really don't like having to get up to go to another room or fish for a light, as this raises my heart rate back up. I wish they'd make this with little lights, like many watches have.
I can't speak too much as to how exact the blood pressure reading is, as mine is low and fine. I can tell you that according to my doctor everyone's blood pressure changes often over the course of a day and home meters just give you a guideline "range." Your blood pressure will often NOT read the same, even when taken back to back at your doctors office, but should be in the same "range." With this meter, back to back readings are generally pretty close and in the same range as they are at my Dr.'s office, so I think it's fairly accurate. Good health to you!
