Will this monitor be able to check my 2 month old daughter's blood pressure? She is 10lbs and 21 inches long. Does it come with a cuff small enough?

It does come with a cuff small enough to check her blood pressure. However, I have not tried to check the blood pressure on a child that small with the machine. I do know that at times we have difficulty checking blood pressures on babies with much more costly, dedicated pediatric manometers. If her blood pressure needs to be monitored, I'd recommend that you take the monitor with you to her doctor's office to see if it gets readings comparable to their monitor.

i bought one like this a couple months ago, and it works perfect, just be sure it has small cuff, the one i bought had 4 different sizes for all pediatrics

If you buy the correct cuff, (neonatal cuff), the monitor can check your daughter's blood pressure. You have to set it in neonatal mode also .

Yes it comes with several different sized cuffs and has an infant cuff. I had ours checked for accuracy with our kidney specialist and it is very accurate. It comes with neonatal cuff and more.

Ours came with infant and pediatric cuffs - so yes . Check with the seller 2 b sure

It comes with a very small infant cuff that has a circumference range of 10 to 19 cm (3.9 to 7.5 inch). That equals about a 1.25 to 2.4 inch diameter. That is pretty small. I would think that it would be fine. It

There is a problem with the monitor and the plug, they do not fit because they do not match.The cuff itself fits too tightly on the arm, that is another problem. Only a specialized store can answer all these questions. What I said previously in my answer and in my write up of the article is all I know. Please do not refer any more questions to me since I cannot answer them. Sorry!!

The small Omron cuff did not fit any of the three Omron monitors we have. I spoke to a Omron rep who said that a they have an affiliate company, named "AND Life Source" that sells a monitor with a small flexible cuff; in fact they switched me to that company on the same phone call and I bought a monitor which works well for my wife who has skinny arms. It was inexpensive. The model # UA-767PSAC. AND phone # 888-705-6065. Hope this helps. -------- Fred Goodrich

Yes, Withings makes a blood pressure cuff that connects to its free software, including a scale that measures weight and BMI. Withings also makes a great Pulse 02 gadget that you can wear on your belt or put in your pocket which measures activity, calories, time and quality of sleep, heart rate and oxygen levels. All are available on Amazon The downside of the Withings cuff is that it doesn't seem as accurate or reliable as the Omron 10, which my doctor recommended.

Interesting question. I just measured my arm and it's 12"! But I believe any bigger than that you'd definitely need a bigger cuff, which probably can be ordered. The 12" cuff JUST fits me so any bigger than that, no. It also indicates when you've put it on properly, it has a circle with OK in it. Otherwise, it stops working until you have it on right. It does do heart beats rate but if you have an irregular heart beat, it would possibly show it OR it may shut down. The B/P monitoring company most likely doesn't want to get sued for someone having an irregular heartbeat so I think it will shut down. Contact manufacturer, I'm sure they'd be very happy to help.

yes, but I would not recommend it. my son was having bp problems and I ordered this because I didn't know how to read a manual one. but I had to go the next day and buy a manual and learn how to read it because this monitor reads to low.

This is really an adult pulse Ox meter. I have used it on my 22 month old old grandson and it will work if you get it lined up just right. The sensor and the light source are fairly deep set. I have found the meter to be accurate and useful for my own use. I have compared it to my Doctor's meter often and it is always right on. I would not recommend it for regular use on a baby.

A larger arm cuff is available. Call Blipcare customer service. They provided mine at no charge.

My doctor wants me taking my blood pressure at home. When I told him I wasn't sure the monitor was accurate, he had me bring it to his office. His nurse checked it against the office cuff. She repeated comparing the two a second time. This monitor and the one in the office didn't vary more than 3 points. She felt it was really accurately.

The cuff that comes with the monitor fits 5.1 to 7.9 (what I consider children or very small adults) and the other one is the adult size fitting 9.4 up to 14.2. The small one fits my grand kids and the larger one fits me.

The cuff measures at 13" (a rigid portion) but it does have an extra velcro padded portion that extends beyond that for a total of between 19-20". I will point out that I am not sure if that means it will read everything properly when taking BP readings. I would advise to contact the company directly and see if they can verify whether this will work at that extended size. If so, I would buy it as it has been very reliable. Hope this helps.

Yes, your BP is shown automatically after you pump it up manually. and the cuff size is from 9 - 14 inches. Personally I would have preferred to buy the complete manual one, the one that most doctors use, because this model is extremely sensitive........you have to be ABSOLUTELY still (except of course pumping) in you movements, especially the arm you are checking....... or it will either show ERROR or give you a bum reading.

it comes with a "standard" cuff... which is to say about 5-8 inch circumferenceanything bigger than that you should buy the "adult" cuff or it will give you weird "off the chart" readings

Well I'm rather thin myself and the standard cuff that comes with it is just small enough for me, however as an ER nurse I would recommend if your mother is very tiny and has thin arms (like a 12 year old tiny girl) than you should order an extra cuff size small. using a cuff that is too big or too small can cause false high and low bps. hope this helps.

I presume it can be, as it measures BP with the usual arm cuff. However, if this is crucial to your selection, clearly you need to speak with your cardiologist.

It is not an infant cuff, but a cuff for a petite adult or child. I don't think it is available separately. I'm not sure.
