 totally inconsistent readings every time July 25, 2010

3 out of 3 found this review helpful
I ordered it because its convenient to use. but the readings are like random number generator: I always did 3 readings at the same time i nthe hopes to get some average. But first time would be 116/78, then immediately afterwards (same position of course) another reading would say 97/58, then the 3rd reading would say 258/178. I gave it a full week thinking maybe this is user error. Most of the time it would give me "good" readings such as 109/61, even though at the doctor's office that day I was 158/97. I am left to think it's gotta be around the upper arm to produce good readings. Ah well, i guess I have to pay more to get something useful.
Horrible and unreliable July 24, 2010
Lilly St. James (Phoenix, AZ United States)
I wanted a little BP monitor and the price on this was good. I guess you get what you pay for. You have to keep your arm in exactly the position shown to get an "accurate" reading. Unfortunately based on the diagram, this position is somewhat up for interpretation. For example, I took my BP and it was 189/101, I took it again right away and it was 134/90 and then again and it was 113/64 and again and it was 150/80. My normal BP at the doctors is 110/80. Each time I thought I was in position but I was just a little off. I found by adjusting my arm up or down just an inch or two I could create a HUGE fluctuation in my BP reading. The problem with this of course is that there is no way to determine what is actually an accurate reading.
I returned it.
Quit working July 21, 2010

Bought this for my mother when she was diagnosed with high blood pressure. It worked for a few weeks and now it quit. Tried all different kinds of batteries, nothing works, we just get all kinds of weird and inconsistent readings. I can't seem to find anything about warranties so I guess I'm stuck with it now.
 Works fine July 13, 2010

I used it very often and it worked very well so far. Just read the instruction before using.

Posted for friend: Being a Dialysis patient I must monitor my blood pressure. I have a top rated Blood Pressure Monitor that I use at home but was looking for something to take on the road. Easy use but accurate. When I first used this unit it gave me a very low reading and then a very high reading. I had others try it and it did the same thing. I then sat down and followed instructions to the letter and received a very close reading in comparison to my high end calibrated cuff. I had others sit and use the calibrated cuff and then this wrist monitor. They received almost exact numbers on both 122/80 on cuff and 120/78 on wrist a few min. later. I then used the same testing method of calibrated cuff and a few min. later the wristech following instructions to the letter this time and it worked great. Others who followed the instructions to the letter found the same results. I don't know if the unit must be used 5-10 times as a break in period or what caused the crazy readings in the beginning for everyone but it works fine now. This is the only reason I took the time to write review, give the wristech a chance by testing 20 times and then follow instructions to the letter and compare to calibrated cuff. I think for the money you should be very happy if yours works like mine does now.
I am in no way connected to Amazon or wristech. I only wanted to make sure others understood the break in experience I had and now unit works fine.
Good Luck!
