Is there a BP monitor that is the most accurate?

I purchased the Omron 785 and it is very accurate. Omron BP785 10 Series Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor, Black/white

I find this one to be very accurate. I take it to my many appointments and compare readngs. I even had a tech intraining place the regular cuff wrong and I tried to tell him. He got a High readng so I did it with mine and showed the difference. the nurse took it again and it was the same as my reading.

The iHealth BP7 Wireless Blood Pressure unit does not require any wires at the time that blood pressure is measured. I really wanted this thing to work but I gave up after a week of trying to get an accurate blood pressure reading, i returned it.

The reliability is a bit variable, as checked by my wife, an RN, using a manual sphygmomanometer and stethoscope. I usually tried to do the three-reading average technique but found that maintaining this cuff over my brachial artery was difficult. However, a a general method of monitoring treatment for established hypertension, I found it satisfactory.

I compared mine to the use of sphygmomanometer, like in dr.office and stethoscope. Wrist manometer easy, comfortable. Readings comparable, blood pressure changes all the time. Important thing is following changes

I bought Manual Blood Pressure Cuff Adult Size Sphygmomanometer for my wife because the previous Cuff was not enough in length. Now, the readings of blood pressure with this monitor and monitor used my wife physician are very close. Thank you. Paul.

I didn't know there was a choice with the Nonin Go2. I am more interested in accuracy. The Nonin Go2 is reliable and compares with the health provider's equipment readings.

First of all it is easier to use than a arm monitor. I never could get the arm monitor adjusted correctly on my upper arm. Also it is known, you BP is not always the same in both arms. Wrist Blood one says to put on right wrist, based on the readings and if you didn't put it on right, you will definitely get a weird reading or it won't take at all, it will say there is an error. Also you should take BP reading right after you have eaten or drank something cold, suppose to wait at least 1/2? or 1 hour? before taking BP reading. All my readings seem to be about what the Dr. had recorded in his office, so I figured I was doing it right. First of all it is easier to use than a arm monitor.

I cant comment on the iPad air, but I can't miss an opportunity to air my extreme disappointment with the I health BP monitor. It was vey easy to use and I was very concerned about my own BP being high and my imminent death by stroke. It seems that it reads about 20 points high. According to my MD and many other local sources of BP test, that I M ok. The tester defective or at minimum way out of calibration. I welcome anyone who can advise me on best way to return it or recalibrate it. Until then, I can only warn others NOT to buy it. Bob Cramer.

I've read posts indicating that ANY of the fingertip pulse oximeters are accurate on children, and the consensus seems to be "good enough." In our case we have a medically fragile young adult son who is quite small in stature and has very small, childlike hands. Among his medical equipment is a full size professional pulse oximeter that also checks his heart rate. We also have the fingertip device in question. The two oximeters are always within a point of one another.

Most BP units today have the capability to read higher BP readings. Sometimes the monitor just needs to be changed to a higher threshold

I'm not sure. We had our unit for about 6 weeks. When my husband had a checkup with his cardiologist, we found that the unit was reading VERY high compared to his actual blood pressure. We tried to return it, but since we had owned it over 30 days we were unable to return it, so we just threw it away.

That's exactly the same problem I had, Judy. My blood pressure normally runs about 116/68, and it had me at a systolic of between 124-128 each time I tested it. It's a lousy unit; I'd definitely recommend another type. Good luck!

The machine takes a snapshot reading. It does not monitor BP over a continuous period. However, as soon as one reading is done you can take another and the machine will remember and display all the readings, along with the date/time of each.

Wrist monitors are too far from the heart for an accurate reading. Mine was showing at least 10 points higher than it actually was and it stopped working four days after i got it. I returned it and got the Omron upper arm cuff which was just as easy to use and matched the readings taken by my physician,

Thanks for your question. BP7 is a wrist blood pressure monitor. It's supposed to be used under a quiet environment and smooth mood. That will be helpful to get a most accuracy measuring data.Hope the answer is helpful.

I have had no BP reading problems. When I purchased the unit my doctor asked me to bring it in on my next visit so she could check the calibration, it was fine. Now I bring in once a year for a reading calibration check and back up battery change. My Dr's like that I bring a summery chart of my daily Bp's to my visits. Because of this extra information my Bp issues were brought under control.

Yes there is, but I wouldn't expect it to help you accurately measure BP. Get your own stethoscope
