Detailed test results
This device has a one-size-fits-most (9 -17 inches) flexible nylon cuff that that may be difficult for some users to wrap around their own arm and align the artery marker. The velcro is softer and more pliable than some of the other models’ cuffs and the velcro bond is not as difficult to separate as some of the other cuffs. The display digits are large and easy to read. First time set up is not difficult and the incremental buttons advance in both directions for date and time setup. If your expected systolic pressure exceeds 210 mmHg, you must press and hold the start button until a number 30 to 40 mmHg higher than the expected pressure appears.
