Does this monitor save readings for reviewing with doctor at a later time? If so, how many different use will it save for?

Hi! Yes - the memory function is one of the features of this unit. It holds 120 readings in memory in 2 groups with date and time. Another feature is that it can provide the average of the last 3 readings if desired.

No in that it only displays info as it changes and is not recorded. I use it with my True treadmill to monitor my heart rate and allows treadmill to maintain desired heart rate during workout.

Yes, it can continously display the readings on your computer. I use the sleepyhead software, more stable.

My understanding and experience is that the Omron unit takes a SERIES of 3 readings and averages them at the end. Mine is set for 15-seconds between readings. My physician checked it with me and stated that the series of 3 readings and an average may not be necessary but probably good, especially for home use. Again, this is my understanding of the unit and I hope it is helpful for you.

I have never actually used it. Waiting to get a monitor for the desktop (previous monitor disappeared when moving).

No, You need to press the button in order to get a reading...It does not monitor constantly...

When I compare it to the Treadmill reading they are about the same while in exercise mode. I think for the most part the hear monitor is as accurate as most...don't think it could be considered medical grade, but seems pretty accurate for everyday use.

I hope so, my doctor's office uses them. One of the reasons I bought this for home use. It gives consistent readings. It also gives accurate readings (sigh).

I used mine to watch my Mom during her illness, I had no need for additional monitors. Check with the manufacturer to see if you purchase 2 sets they could be connected.

Yes, it does read systolic, diastolic, pulse, and your pressure rating. It detects irregular heartbeat, too.

Cannot help you, if still under return timeframe, return it. I have two units, one used for three years, one still new in box, even un-opened--was going to sell it so did not want to open the box, but decided to keep it since now discontinued. Your post reminds me--I should take it out of the box and check it. Question--are you sure it is the monitor and not your video card in the computer, or interference from some other device? Check online for like symptoms.Love this monitor. If you can find a fix, and otherwise in good condition, worth fixing yourself.

Not in my experience. I haven't seen it operate a display with the duration you'd need.

I cannot quantify the accuracy. There are several factors that can change a reading. I did spend time with a nurse, and found that her reading was fairly close to the reading from this device, but changing the position of the monitor can make the readings off my more or less. Funny thing is, even at the doctor's office, they take my pressure twice, and they are never the same.

This depends on so many things, including how much load the computer/monitors/etc. are taking, and how old the battery is. A nice thing about this model is that it has a digital readout which will tell you how many minutes. Generally, it will be a few minutes only.

The computer feature needs work. It doesnt work for windows 7. They do have downloads for several computer systems on their website. I had issues it converting from my monitor to my computer. Overall, this is an excellent monitor had accurate readings.

I would check the back of the monitor too, making sure that nothing got changed there. I've had mine for over 2 1/2 years and it still works perfectly! I love it!!! If you check the back and everything is as it should be, definately contact the manufacturer and get it replaced!

I have an older monitor upstairs that's not portable.....plug in type & side by side, they both give the same readings. So I take it that either both are wrong....or....both are correct. The readings fall in line with the governments upper normal values for my area. Hope this helps. Sorry I couldn't give you a better answer.
