About A&D Medical Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor
Overall Feedback:
73% positive
78% appreciated the memory, however 22% were disappointed
The blood pressure arm cuff can store the last 60 measurements of up to 4 users in memory.
I value the memory function of my blood pressure monitor. It is simple to access and saves all the data by date and time, numbering all the readings with the highest number, such as 38 being the last of 38 readings.
The machine can track readings for up to 4 users separately.
I have not been able to figure out the storage comparisons day to day nor the multiple people users. However, I keep track of it on paper and it works for me.

I compared my monitor with an accurate manual device calibrated by the doctor and found it consistently 20 points too high.
I have found that the readings on this BP monitor are consistently lower than my normal BP, which is a huge problem. I tested the accuracy of the machine against my normal reading and found that the systolic is running at least 20 points low and the diastolic 10 points low. The accuracy and precision of this blood-pressure-monitor is a major concern for me.
