need a new blood pressure device
My husband recently was diagnosed with hbp. We have concluded that the old blood pressure monitor is broken due to the fascinating variation in his values. Does anyone have positive comments about what kind of unit to buy? Thanks.

Re: need a new blood pressure device
helen,

OMRON auto-inflate arm- cuff monitors are very good and rated highly (up there with LUMISCOPE, LIFESOURCE, and RELiON (Walmart's brand of Omron)) in Consumer Reports. Those were the top four brands rated for consistency and accuracy. I have a 2 yr old OMRON HEM 711AC and it's flawless.

I love my Lumiscope...cheap, accurate, easy-to-use, and kind to batteries! Bought at CVS...wait for a sale!
