Great, Fast, Accurate. Sends results to my Iphone.
I did a a lot of research before buying the A&D Medical Deluxe.... My Prior BP monitor was from Microlife bought at Costco, Microlife was very inconsistent in its readings within the same sitting forced me take measurements 1/2 dozen times to get what i thought was accurate... Naturally all our BP very greatly with stress and taking them at different times but this was just bad. This time I spent a lot of time looking prior to making the purchase. ** The A&D Medical BP monitor is fast, accurate, and successfully sends the results to my Iphone 6 (currently running IOS 9.2). The BP cuff just slips over your arm and is easy to tighten *** It also does not get too tight as some cuffs do, its pretty gentle. Info and Research for others: As your probably aware one should avoid wrist monitors as they are much less accurate. Now a days you can get BP monitors that simply measure BP and Heart Rate. Ones that can be manually hooked up to a computer to download results (too much trouble at least for me). And of course now there are ones with bluetooth that can send results to your phone for review by yourself or your doctor. I found that the highest rated units on Amazon did not have Smart phone connectivity.... Not because ones that send data to smart phones are worse at BP monitoring, but because of course companies vary in their ability to provide the capability and users the savvy to take advantage of this functionality so that it works across all phones and users. I fond BP monitors without connectivity had up to a 98 percent approval rating. Ones with smart phone connectivity topped out around 85 percent approval (4 and 5 star reviews [ I personally take 4 and 5 star + 1/2 the 3 star reviews for Approval and 1 and 2 star reviews + 1/2 the 3 star reviews for disapproval]) for all my research. When looking, most important of course is that BP is measured accurately. You will find people giving 1 star reviews because of issues with connecting to their phone brand/model even if they admit the BP is measured accurately. Sometimes its IOS versus Android compatibility or merely the model of the phone or its OS. The connectivity for smart devices depends on Blue tooth versions which change over the years, as does the operating systems on the phones that support it. And of course the Software from the BP Monitor manufacturer. Remember as well generally Blue tooth connectivity is never going to connect with any device of any type 100 percent of the time without occasional re-paring or issues. So far I have not had issues. Brands: There are much bigger brands like Omron that have devices that start around $72. Prices for smart BP monitors range from $45 to $200. I almost bought one of the Omron smart BP monitors though the reviews were mixed as was the customer service reports. The nail in the coffin for Omron for me was Amazon dropped the device for direct sales because of complaints (you will see this when you try to check out with Omron from an Amazon partner). There are also a number of "new" $100 to $200 monitors that have cropped up that strictly toot their blue tooth connectivity to a smart phone. I looked up all of these I could find like from Withings, Pyle, QardioArm, ihealth and they all had very mixed reviews and in a number of cases these were for accuracy, not just sending the data to your phone. I then came across the A&D Medical BP monitor and read every single review since there were only 72 at the time. Most were 4 and 5 star reviews. Most of the negative ones for issues with Android connectivity though there were some issues with IOS as well. Worked great for me though. At $45 dollars its in the same range as many dumb BP monitors. As A&D is sold by Amazon you can not loose with their generous return policy if you find your experience different then mine. Good Luck and Good Health. Just an update some tips as I have been using this for a while now. You should remember to have your Phone on/unlocked, A&D medical software opened as the foreground application. Doing this and you should have no connectivity issues. Read more
