This is a cuff designed to measure your blood pressure and pulse that attaches to the forearm instead of the upper arm like most. It is very small and light weight which makes it super easy to carry along. It is easy to use and put on for testing purposes.
For starters this monitor will show your Systolic, Diastolic, and Pulse. It will also provides advanced 5 level blood pressure classification and irregular heartbeat (arrhythmia) indicator alert the user of any abnormality. For more understanding of the classification please go to here: http://hyper.ahajournals.org/content/40/6/817.full.pdf
Now lets go into the display. I am very impressed with the display screen that this unit has. It has a well lit blue backlit that makes the results of the test pop out at you. Being able to see these numbers clearly is an absolute must and this unit passes that with flying colors. The results are large as well making it easy for those that might be struggling with their vision in one form or another.
The cuff needs to be placed on the forearm properly or it will not give a good reading. It has to be placed about an inch from the base of the hand. The cuff attaches with some Velcro around the arm much like any other blood pressure cuff. Now make sure that the display is facing out from the underside of the arm. Next you tap the power button once on and it will power up and go straight into taking the reading.
Now for the results showing on the screen you should hold the monitor somewhat close to the heart with your arm relaxed. I have noticed that if you have your arm extended and away from your heart more it seems to be extremely inaccurate. My normal blood pressure runs between 120-130/74-88 from my doctor visits. With this extended from my arm it was reading at 212 and 227 over 130ish both times.
The unit also fits people that have larger arms then normal like mine. For me to use a normal blood pressure cuff I have to have an extra large cuff for my upper arm. With the wrist cuff I can use a standard size comfortably. If you are in the market for a blood pressure cuff that is super compact with great visilibity of the display this cuff maybe exactly what you are looking for. I would like to thank Easy At Home Medical LLC and affiliates for sending me this blood pressure cuff to try out and leave my opinion.
