A&D wrist blood pressure monitor rated #1
In the October 2010 issue of a prestigious product review magazine, home blood pressure monitors were tested and rated. In the category of wrist monitors, the report identified the number one unit as the LifeSource® Advanced Memory Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor UB-512. The UB-512 is a state-of-the-art device that is packed with the latest features. It offers the patent pending Pressure Rating Indicator™ that visually indicates a user's blood pressure category. It's kind of like a stoplight for your health. This robust device has Irregular Heartbeat Detection that alerts the user to the presence of an irregular heartbeat and provides blood pressure and pulse rate measurements even if an irregular heartbeat occurs. It comes with a heavy-duty carrying case, making it ideal for travel and people on the go. Engineered under exacting conditions in Japan, the UB-512 features the industry's best protection plan, a lifetime warranty. The UB-512's most important feature is AM/PM Tracking, which allows users to monitor how their readings vary throughout the day, providing an essential tool for tracking Morning Hypertension.

Wrist monitoring is a good alternative for those that cannot take readings on their upper arm. Wrist monitoring is sometimes considered less accurate. This conclusion is incorrect. Careful review of test-taking methods have shown that many users do not follow the manufacturer's prescribed directions for proper use. If the wrist monitor is worn like a watch and not placed on the underside of the wrist readings will be inaccurate. When the user does not hold at heart level or moves during a reading the results will be unreliable. Only when the measuring directions are followed for any blood pressure monitor, professional, home, upper arm or wrist can accurate results be obtained. Each and every LifeSource® blood pressure monitor has been tested by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method within the limits prescribed by the American National Standards Institute (ANSI/AAMI SP10) for electronic sphygmomanometers.

The LifeSource® Advanced Memory Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor UB-512 is made by A&D Medical, the leader in connected diagnostic devices. The UB-512 is available at many pharmacies, home healthcare providers and the leading on-line retailers.
