Royal Talking Tel-Weight Scale - English/Spanish Right now
I purchased these scales for my mom who is blind and has congestive heart failure requiring her to monitor her weight daily. She is also very feeble and weak. These scales have been great. She has had no trouble using them and they have worked wonderfully. She has a visiting nurse in her home twice weekly who weighs her, too, and the scales have been accurate. The voice is easy to understand, too. I would recommend this purchase to anyone needing talking scales. The price was a good value, too.

Lowest Price Gaiam Pedometer Plus Audio CD (Advanced Level)
well, it was easy to set-up but the step count was NOT accurate even after adjusting the +/- several times and after making sure my stride calculations were correct.
I decided to take a long walk and see if it made a difference. I clipped it to my jeans, drove to the park, walked a couple of miles, and then realized it had "disappeared". The pedometer must have fallen when I got out of the car (I had made the decision to check at the end of the walk so I had no idea what had happened!). I found it crushed next to my car because the car next to me drove over it.
I would spend extra $$ on a different brand AND I would consider getting a safety strap.Get more detail about Gaiam Pedometer Plus Audio CD (Advanced Level).

Save Weight Watchers WW70W Electronic Body Fat Scale
If you are looking for a scale that is accurate, and has some additional functions, this is a great choice. Some of the additions are a little off because water weight and BMI cannot be exact on an at-home scale. As a 33 year old male at 240 lbs., it cannot take into account my build (a former football player), so the BMI read-out was 'extremely obease'. But for the main purpose of weight, I am very happy with this product.Get more detail about Weight Watchers WW70W Electronic Body Fat Scale.

Discount Taylor 5571 Breast Cancer Awareness Body Fat Scale
At first glance this scale looks fairly sophisticated. Looks can be deceiving. I'm fairly certain that the body fat sensor don't do anything at all. Why does a body fat measuring device need to know if you are an athlete or what your height is? If is truly measuring resistance through your body this info should be irrelevant! What it is actually doing is calculating your BMI. That is completely useless if you want to know your bodyfat percentage! Don't believe me? Change your height! Your body fat will go down if you say you are taller and will go up if you say you are shorter! In exact accordance with a BMI chart! Utterly useless!!!
I rated this a two because the scale works very well. People having trouble with the scale must be using their unit on carpet! That or their's is defective.Get more detail about Taylor 5571 Breast Cancer Awareness Body Fat Scale.

Buying OneTouch UltraMini Glucose Monitoring System (USA Retail) Lime Light
I went back to OneTouch after trying cheaper meters. I'm on oral medications and diet control, and I want to stay that way. I also have no health insurance and am private pay. I find OneTouch gives me accurate results, and the meter also survives banging around in my purse all day. The little meter really fits in your purse or backpack better if you design your own case out of something else, even a ziplock bag and duct tape (check the diabetes forums).
In response to the low review, it's true the strips are very expensive. For the bottle of 100 the best price I found was $79.00. You can find strips that expire in 6 months instead of a year on the Web for that price. I also found Together Rx Access on the web, which is a card the drug companies put out for people do not have insurance or state aid, which gives you a discount. Doctors sometimes have samples if you tell them you have problems with the cost of the strips.
What works best for me is to decide with my doctor how often to do a pre and post meal test (once a week), and then test right away if I have symptoms or get sick. Once you're under control and if you are willing to stay on a diabetic diet, that works. The way it worked out for me, I got the meter for free during a pharmacy special, then paying the price and rationing the more expensive strips is less expensive than one ER visit after my cheap meter gives me a series of inaccurate results, or worse, living with permanent eye or kidney damage when the cheap meter fails to tell me my sugar is running just high enough to do harm.Get more detail about OneTouch UltraMini Glucose Monitoring System (USA Retail) Lime Light.

These units are very handy to obtain relaible vital signs (I spent alot of time comparing the reading to routine BP cuffs. They were very compatible in the range as long as you followed instructions) It also beats holding out someone's arm and have an inmate try to get it close to your breast as you try to help him hold a stable position. That doesn't happen with these cuffs. I expect to see more of these in the future..they are less painfull and much easier to haul around with you.

Professional Digital Alcohol Breathalyzer, Breath Tester, Portable Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Detector with Muticolor LCD Display, Clock, Thermometer & 99 Reading Memories, for All Safety Drivers, Avoid Tickets & Save Money, DOT / NHTSA / FDA Approved Top Quality
This product requires almost 2 minutes to calibrate. In addition we believe it "errors" on the high side. While this may be the better direction to error it really does not give you much confidence in the device. We have experimented with it a number of times with respect to our weight, the length of time between drinks, meals, etc. and each time we felt the readings were far too high based on the BAC tables. Frankly with the readings from this device we would never be able to have a drink with meals when we are not at home and/or planning to drive ! It is possible that we are not following the protocol for testing close enough in which case that is too demanding to make it worth your while. Checking your state BAC charts and tracking your drinks against your weight/meal and time factors would be easier and better so long as you error on the safe side of the charts.Get more detail about Professional Digital Alcohol Breathalyzer, Breath Tester, Portable Blood Alcohol Content (BAC) Detector with Muticolor LCD Display, Clock, Thermometer & 99 Reading Memories, for All Safety Drivers, Avoid Tickets & Save Money, DOT / NHTSA / FDA Approved.

I have to agree with the previous two reviewers. I recently purchased this thermometer and was shocked to find how unreliable it was.

We called customer service and they said that they would send us a new one. After reading the other two reviews here, I suspect that it'll find itself in the trash. Don't buy this product.

Proview Eye Pressure Monitor Kit - 1 kit Get it now!
In my experience, the Proview Eye Pressure Monitor (home tonometer) is not accurate. For me, it fails to corrrelate with professional tonometer measurements at all. This statement is based on my personal experience with the Proview. However, my experience is substantiated by the research. For example, see the article from the journal Ophthalmology titled "The Proview Phosphene Tonometer Fails to Measure Ocular Pressure Accurately in Clinical Practice."
The article concludes, "The Proview instrument and technique were reproducible. However, the Proview tonometer seems not to be reliable as an indicator of IOP. The sensitivity for detecting high IOP was low in this cohort, and the agreement with Goldmann applanation was poor for some individuals. This brings into question the underlying assumption that a force proportional to the IOP generates phosphenes"
"The sensitivity of the Proview technique to detect patients with high IOP (which we defined as a Goldmann pressure of >= 22 mmHg) is low; the Proview pressure identified only 18% (4/22) of these patients."
Ophthalmology 2004;111:1077-1085 © 2004 by the American Academy of Ophthalmology
The real problem is that the Proview can indicate your eye pressure is normal when in fact it could be severely elevated. The Proview can report readings of 15-18mmHg (normal) even when the actual IOP is as high as 30 or 35mmHg. The cutoff for normal is usually considered about 21mmHg -- and eye pressure of 30 or more is considered potentially dangerous, so relying on the Proview could indeed represent a potential danger to glaucoma patients.

MDF Sprague Rappaport Stethoscope > MDF 767 > BlackOut > All Black Right now
I bought the MDF Sprague Rappaport after the tubing of my Littmann started to disintegrate. The MDF is an acceptable stethoscope which works well. I am still getting use to some of the differences from the older Littmann. The respiratory and cardiac sounds do appear to be clearer and crisper using this stethoscope. However the volume appears to be a little decreased. I am not sure if this is due to the different ear buds than the Littmann. I used the hard/dense ear pieces in the littmann and the MDF does not have an equivalent set. However, with increasing use I have been able to get used to the decreased volume and it is only in very early pulmonary fibrosis or other diseases with subtle auscultation findings have I experienced any difficulty. I would recommend the stethoscope but not to a student. Subtle findings may be more difficult to hear.Get more detail about MDF Sprague Rappaport Stethoscope > MDF 767 > BlackOut > All Black.

Low Price Suunto T6 Triathlon Pack (T6 Heart Rate Monitor, Road Bike POD, Foot POD, and Memory Belt)

Having used it for a couple months, let me give the pros and cons.
The watch itself: love it, it's comfortable and functional. I highly recommend the watch.
The foot pod: not as much of a fan. I have a garmin forerunner GPS unit I like a lot more. The foot pod has to be calibrated to your stride, and if you change stride, it will become inaccurate. I prefer the GPS unit in terms of accuracy.
The bike pod: I don't have a bike yet but I hope to use this in the future.
One thing that really bugs me about this is the heart rate belt. It has memory built in to it. I really just wanted to use it to see my heart rate on the watch, but it is also known as a memory belt, which means it stores past data. What sucks, is that when it is full, it starts BEEPING EVERY 3 SECONDS AND WON'T SHUT UP. And the only way to make it stop is to connect it to your PC and download the data.
When you're out for a run, or if you're away from your PC, or just too busy to download the damn data from it, the beeping is maddening. I went back to using my garmin, the HR number is smaller and harder to see, but at least it doesn't constantly beep and annoy the hell out of me.
Overall recommended, but the beeping thing is causing me to dock it a star.Get more detail about Suunto T6 Triathlon Pack (T6 Heart Rate Monitor, Road Bike POD, Foot POD, and Memory Belt).

Ok, so I know that your weight will vary from day to day, and even throughout the day. However, I didn't think the body fat was going to vary so much. I've had this scale for less than 24 hours, and EVERY TIME I STEP ON IT, I get different numbers. Now, I'm a small girl, weighing around 120 with a body fat percentage of... well, I don't know. I stepped on it once, and the body fat was 22.7 percent. Stepped off, let it turn off, and stepped back on. Body fat 20.5 percent. And on and on and on. Went the same way with the weight. Everything from 119.4 to 123.6 within a matter of FIVE MINUTES. I don't know if my posture was different, or if my feet were in different places, or whatever, but if it's going to change that much from moment to moment, it doesn't serve my purposes.

Order Polar CS100 Cycling Computer Heart Rate Monitor
This unit did not work with my mountain bike because the speed sensor transmitter is so weak that it barely works on a bike with no front suspension. I mounted the sensor as high as I could but I could not get it to work consistently. I sent it to Polar hoping it was a defect and they stood behind it. They sent it back and assured me that it was working fine. I called Polar and they seemed unsurprised and unconcerned that it did not work on a mountain bike. I had to upgrade to the Polar CS600 which has much better communication between the speed sensor and computer. It transmits on a different frequency. I guess I was hooked on having everything in one unit. I had the separate HRM, computer, and altimeter, but it is so nice to have them consolidated into one that I paid 3X for the CS600. The WearLink strap for the CS600 (chest) transmitter only lasts one year. I replaced the second one just inside the two year warranty. Polar service is slow so I was ready the second time. I purchased a spare WearLink strap from Amazon, so I didn't mind waiting 3 weeks for Polar to replace the strap. I also sent only the strap the second time, rather than everything - as they requested.Get more detail about Polar CS100 Cycling Computer Heart Rate Monitor.

Where To Buy AccuMeasure Fattrack Pro Digital Body Fat Tester
The display graphics look like it came from a 1970's handheld video game and makes it difficult to read for some people.
The overall quality was ok, made of plastic and feels very lightweight/delicate like it could easily break. Personally don't think it's worth the price it's being sold for, a price of $20-$30 would be more reasonable in my opinion.
Overall the item appeared to work ok (as it should), just didn't care for the hard to read display graphics and think the price could be more realistic to what you actually get (quality). The case and software is a pleasant added bonus, still doesn't raise the value to the retail price it's being sold at.Get more detail about AccuMeasure Fattrack Pro Digital Body Fat Tester.

Taylor 7530 Glass Scale, Back Painted in Silver
This is a very nice looking unit and worked well for close to a year. I stepped on one day and got nothing so I bought 2 new batteries (CR2032). From then on all I can get are very low readings such as 8.6 lbs. I followed the unit directions stating to step on, then off, then back on to reset the unit any time the unit has been moved. I then thought maybe it had changed to kg, even though that would still be too low. It has a button on the back to switch, that wasn't it. Searching the internet I see I am not alone.
[...]
I tried the take batteries out, stand on for 7 seconds, reinstall batteries method described in the link. This actually did result in one improvement! Instead of 8.6 lbs I now get 1x8.6 lbs. The 1st digit has now appeared but the 2nd digit is completely blank. So possibly the calibration issue is fixed, but now there is an LCD display issue with the 2nd digit. aargh!
Taylor has a lifetime warranty...if you want to find or buy a box for it, pack it up, go to the post office line and pay to ship it to New Mexico. For the price-point of buying a new, DIFFERENT brand (trying Heath Meter this time), its not worth the hassle for me. I am very disappointed b/c I did really like the styling and very low profile. It allowed the toilet door to swing over the unit so it could be placed in the toilet room.
EDIT: Well, I guess all it took is to take the time to post a review of this product to get it to work! Here is what I did (per instructions found on the web). Take batteries out, stand on scale for 7 seconds, get off, put batteries back in, step back on and if display shows anything step right back off, then step back on to weigh myself. As I mentioned above this seemed to work except that the 2nd digit was now blank. I kept walking by over the next hour or so and stepping on it. Amazingly at some point the middle digit magically reappeared! I don't know what happened. I changed the battery in this thing months ago and have had bad too low readouts ever since. I only tried the 7 sec method the day I wrote this review. The frustration is what drove me to write the review. Bottom line...crazy as it sounds it is worth a try...the scale is still working fine 9 days later.Get more detail about Taylor 7530 Glass Scale, Back Painted in Silver.

I had to return the first unit because neither of the supplied cuffs (small, to 12" and large) would inflate. The replacement unit inflated both cuffs correctly.
Our family has been using and storing readings in the unit for several weeks now; but I had an interesting experience with the unit yesterday.
We had a power outage yesterday that lasted about 14 hours. The unit was on our kitchen table with the A/C adapter plugged into it and its batteries were installed.
When the power went out, all the stored readings in the unit along with current date and time were lost. What is the purpose of having batteries installed in the unit if the data is lost when the power goes out?
Who ever designed the electronics in this unit was not thinking!
I believe there is a workaround:
First, don't leave the A/C adapter plugged into the unit. Only plug in the A/C adapter, with its power "on," when you're gonna used the unit. After you're done with the reading, remove the A/C adapter. With this workaround, the batteries should keep the data stored.
Next, connect the unit to your computer to download the readings weekly. This way, if there is a loss of data, it will only be for a few days.
I've enjoyed using the unit....it's very comfortable to use and the pressure on the arm during the readings is not unpleasant. Also, the readings appear to be consistent with my readings from two other sources: a Samsung wrist blood pressure device I use at work and the blood pressure machine at my local Walmart pharmacy.
If Samsung has resolved the loss of data problem in another model, then I would recommend that you buy that model.

Been using this for some time. Good smell, feels great, protects skin. A nurse I know swears by it for dealing with the drying effects of sun and sea water. Wound care clinics seem to use it frequently to prevent skin damage from prolonged bandaging and moisture.

3M Littmann 4100WS Electronic Stethoscope, Black Order Now
I've had the 4100ws for about a year, and am very pleased with it. The sound quality is very good, and it eliminates some (but not all) background noise. I have found it to be an outstanding teaching tool. The recording function is very easy to use, and the IR transfer works well. IR transfer to a desktop works only on windows XP at this point, which is frustrating for us mac users. You will need access to an XP machine to pull the recorded clips off. I often use the clips in presentations. This works very well, but you need to know that regular computer speakers won't be adequate. On normal speakers, the clips won't sound much like the murmur you are trying to present. I paired mine with a Bose sound dock, and the murmurs sound quite real when played on that. This is a GREAT way to teach med students, nurses, RTs, etc.... when you come across infrequent auscultation findings, you can record them and later play them for your colleagues so that everyone can gain some experience from the unusual presentation. I also love the 'slow play' feature, that lets me slow the playback down to 1/2 speed, to make murmurs easier to evaluate for students. My only complaint is that I can't transfer recorded clips directly to my mac.Get more detail about 3M Littmann 4100WS Electronic Stethoscope, Black.
