Customer Reviews of Lifesource UA-853ACP Premium Stand-Up Blood Pressure Monitor
Customer Review: A pretty good monitor
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an easy to use blood pressure monitor and unlike most others, it comes with two cuffs one medium and one large. The only draw backs that I have found are the memory and clock are a pain to set and use.
Overall, it is a good monitor, for the price

Summary: 2 Stars
I bought this monitor after much research on the net of BP monitors. The No#1 complaint I read about electronic monitors is their lack of accuracy. I bought the Lifesource Mod# UA-853ACP based on the reviews I read of it here and else where.
I had mine four days and took it to my Doctor to compair it's readings in a SbS test with the Doctors manual BP monitor. In a space of 90 minuets the nurse took six reading and much to my compleate disapointment the Lifesource BP monitor was consistantly of average 15 points to high. The manual BP monitor was reading my BP at around 128/30 and the Lifesource would read a BP of 145/90. I then had a family friend who is also a RN do a second SbS test same as above, and again the Lifesource gave consistantly high measurements. I will add one thing my doctor
as well as my friend the nurse both said. This model Lifesource monitor comes with two different sized arm cuffs. One for SM-MD sized arms and one for LG-XL sized arms. As it turned out the SM-MD cuff was dead on the line of being to small and the LG-XL cuff was also dead on the line for being to large. Both my Dr. and my friend the nurse said the fit problem was most likely the sorce of my problem as my arm measures 15.5" around as it did give accurate BP readings of my wife who the SM-LG cuff fit perfectly. So bottom line if your arm measures in the 15-16" range you might want to consider a different BP monitor or at least try a BP monitor on for size if you can before you buy.
Customer Review: Oh no!!

Delivery from Amazon was extremely quick to Australia (4 days). Excitedly unpacked the unit, read the instructions and tested on both my wife and myself. I must be near dead because I have a reading no higher than 105/70 and my wife had 110/75. Now you might say that that is good, however, my wife suffers from Hypertension and is on medication. I have not had a blood pressure reading from the Doctor lower than 129/70 (normally around 134/75) for the last two years!! The cuff is the right size. Maybe damaged in transit although the box was is good condition when it arrived. I will chalk this up to another dud I am afraid.
