MeasuPro BPM-80A Blood Pressure Monitor Review




Some of the attributes of this BP cuff are: 1) It measures BP and pulse, 2) Easy one step monitoring, 3) Has a graph to measure hypertension, 4) stores up to 60 recorded tests to memory, 5) It is designed for 2 separate users. The BP cuff comes with 4 AAA batteries (included), medium to large sized arm cuff, carrying bag, and user manual.
The write up from the company: Using advanced technology, the MeasuPro Digital Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor provides accurate measurements of your blood pressure and pulse rate. You'll find that it is compact, comfortable, and simple to use. Using a highly advanced mechanism, it offers state of the art technology to provide the highest grade accuracy. Measurements are taken through a fast and easy process using Measure and Inflate technology. The pressurized arm cuff auto-inflates with the touch of a button and automatically releases the pressure when the measurement is complete. Graphical readings are classified in five different levels according to the guidelines of the American Heart Association: Normal, Pre-hypertension, Hypertension Stage 1, Hypertension Stage 2, and Hypertensive crisis. It also calculates and averages your blood pressure based on the last 3 readings and detects irregular heartbeats and any arrhythmias.


Personally I am extremely satisfied with this unit. It is very easy to use and record your readings. With the very bright and large LCD screen it makes it difficult for those that have some vision troubles. Now as far as the unit, it is very light weight and easy to transport in its carrying case. It can be taken anywhere that you are going because it works on batteries. I took this unit to my doctor's office to check it against their units they had in their office to check the accuracy of this unit. To my surprise it was only off by a couple on the readings, but that can be due to any number of things, say for instance turning you head to fast during the reading or moving the arm slightly. So I find that this unit is accurate in its recordings. Now with the ease of use, my father can use this without any problems and he is technologically challenged. All it requires is slipping it onto your upper arm and hitting the number that is for your profile. For him he is set as profile 1, so he hits the little figure that has an human icon with the letter 1 on it. This will record his last 60 tests. Once he hits the button the cuff starts inflating and takes the BP and pulse, and once it is done it gives the read out on the LCD screen. From there it deflates and the test is over.
Now for me this unit does not work so well since I am larger then most people. For me the medium to large cuff was not large enough for my upper are. I could barely get the Velcro to lock in around my arm and had to hold it with my hand or it would pop off of my arm. I could use it on my forearm but that is not as accurate.  So my parents now have this unit, and it does work great for them. Dad is profile one and Mom is profile two and it works out perfectly. Since my dad has a lot of medical problems he now uses this cuff to track his BP and Pulse daily. He then takes his results to the doctor as he sees him on his regular check ups. Before he didn't track it and now with this the doctors have a great record to monitor incase something is starting to go south.
I would like to thank MeasuPro and affiliates for sending me this BP cuff for me to try out and leave my opinion. It is great to have around with any type of sports that do not have medical staff present, or if you are traveling and need to closely monitor your vitals. Having this on hand is great regardless incase of any emergency situations. These vital signs help greatly in assisting in treatments that might be needed in that emergency.
