LifeSource UA-853acp blood pressure monitor (BP). I have owned the finger, wrist and arm monitors, all of which I have discarded because of accuracy issues. In my research, before purchasing this unit, I found out that finger monitors are the least accurate, wrist monitors are next, and arm monitors can be pretty accurate is the cuff is fitted properly. I also researched the two largest companies that make BP monitors--Lifesource and Omron. I tried another popular brand and found the readings unreliability and not accurate. I spoke to many medical personal, that I know, and this manufacture keep coming up as the most accurate and reliable. I purchased this monitor. I have had found that the readings almost the same as my doctor's. If you can't trust the readings, trying to make medical decisions is impossible. I recommend LifeSource's monitors to anyone. Save yourself money. There are many out there but MOST are not accurate.This unit is easy to use, fit is excellent, accurate and works everytime. Large characters, thus easy to read and comes with a large and medium cuff. My wife and I use the medium cuff.

I am an RN and have checked the monitor against traditional BP monitoring equipment and it is very accurate. The Premium monitor is easy to use and a great plus is the inclusion of both large and small cuffs and batteries.I keep it in the famly room and everyone who sees it wants to check their pressure...this can be an alert for someone with undiagnosed hypertension.
