Mabis 04-255-001 Dot Matrix Digital Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor

Capable of storing 60 readings by date and time, this battery- operated device makes it easy to monitor both blood pressure and pulse and to track trends over time. Two people can make use of the monitor's memory, with up to 30 past readings stored for each and displayed either as a chronological list or a graph. Or one person can use both memory banks to save past morning and evening readings. The large digital display (1-5/8 by 1-1/4 inches) is easy to read, showing systolic, diastolic, and pulse readings when the cuff is strapped on and automatically inflated by pressing the monitor's power button. When the measurement is complete, the cuff (fits wrists from 4-7/8 to 8-1/16 inches) automatically deflates. The monitor can be turned off manually, or it automatically shuts off in 30 seconds to preserve the two AAA batteries (included) operating the device.

On-screen instructions (in English, Spanish, French, German, or Italian) guide a user through the process. A menu button selects from a list of six features: memory select (for choosing between the two memory banks), preset pressure (for adjusting cuff pressure), memory clear (for deleting a stored reading), language, clock set, and contrast (of the screen face). Another button permits scrolling through stored readings, displaying their average, or viewing the chronological list or graph. The monitor comes in a sturdy plastic storage case, is accompanied by a detailed instruction booklet, and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack
