A&D Medical Blood Pressure Monitor for Home Use, UA787EJ Preformed Upper Arm Cuff (9.0-17" / 22-43cm), Easy to Use, One Touch Operation, Avg Memory, 3 Custom Reminders, Carrying Case, AC Adapter

Does the job

This is our second A&D Blood Pressure Machine. Our first one has lasted for years and was very accurate (tested at the doctor's office more than once). Glad to find the identical make and model that we had originally. Our first one is still working, but with my husband's health problems, we thought we might need a backup in case the original finally quit working.

I would like to know why this monitor is not HSA eligible, when it is manufactured by A&D like so many others. I planned to use my HSA account but bit the bullet and paid for it directly anyway because it had features I liked better than those approved. I can't understand why this one is note covered. This has a really clear display, memory for a single user (which is all I need and makes it less confusing to use). It appears to be accurate but I haven't had it very long yet. The features I was wanting were the preformed cuff (this one is super easy), and a multiple power source. It has a battery option, but no batteries were included (4 AAs are required). It also has a power cord with USB. A big negative for me is that it is not back-lit so in order to read it I have to have good lighting. I had difficulty finding the preformed cuff with the other desired features so I chose the cuff over other features. I'm basically happy with this purchase. Be sure to read the set-up instructions for date and time in order to view memory accurately.

I finally have a BP home monitor that I can use by myself because the cuff is already formed. (Make sure that your arm measurement fits within the range given in the product description.) This brand has a very good reputation for accuracy and their Easy Fit cuff is the only model of any brand that I've found with a cuff that I can just slip on. I've struggled to wrap ordinary cuffs around my arm using one clumsy hand. This cuff is much easier to use.

KvDid not work properly.

I've had it for one day and it seems to be accurate. I calibrated the UA-787EJ against the manual setup (stethiscope, gauge and cuff) that I purchased last week and the readings are consistant. I read the first review that stated their disatisfaction b/c the readings were "high". I would recommend calibrating the unit yourself and if it is off, return it for another or a refund.For the last week I've tested several monitors in the local stores (Omron, ReliOn, LifeSource) and I felt that all of them reported low BP readings. I even ordered one that was very eratic in its readings but was always 10 to 12 points lower than the readings taken w/a stethiscope (sometimes I used the BP machine at Wal-Mart, which seemed to be consistent). I returned it for a refund.I work at a hospital, and a co-worker used the new UA-787EJ this morning, found that his blood pressure was very high, went down to ER and indeed it was extremely high. If you have doubts about the accuracy, I suggest purchasing the manual stethoscope., gauge and cuff to do your own calibration. It was the only way I could be confident the automatic unit was accurate and reliable. The manual setup only costs about $16.00 from Wal-Mart (maybe less from Amazon) and taking your BP is easy.

The Pre-Formed Cuff did it for me. I bought another Blood Pressure Monitor and could not securely wrap the cuff around my arm - it was very frustrating - retuned it immediately. I ordered this one because I previously owned a Life Source Pre-Formed Blood Pressure monitor years ago and realized I missed the Pre-Formed Cuff ease of use. I just got it today - and I am so glad and relieved on how easy it is to use. I would recommend this BP monitor to anyone. Easy to use, large read-outs, well made -- very happy with it.

Cuff is preformed, so easy to self apply
