Omron HEM-773AC Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Easy-Wrap Cuff and IntelliSense Order Now


This is a very good blood pressure unit, easy to use, comfortable. It never over inflates - other units occasionally decide to use a second reinflation cycle, which way over inflates and hurts.

The only complaint that I have with it is that the wall wart it comes with generates a huge amount of elf/emf (whether the unit is in use or not). So, I'd suggest keeping the wall wart (not necessarily the bp unit itself) at least 4 to 5 feet, maybe more, away from your head while sleeping. I have measured the wall wart that comes with the hem 780 to generate much less elf/emf. Unfortuneatly the 780 does occasionally overinflate, which I hate. Also, the 773 uses a separate on and off button from start, and the 780 uses only one button, a bit less user friendly.Get more detail about Omron HEM-773AC Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Easy-Wrap Cuff and IntelliSense.

LifeSource UA-853LAC Premium Digital Blood Pressure Monitor with Large Cuff Decide Now


I purchased the BP Monitor 6/12 and it arrived 6/18, shipping is fast and ordering is great. I tested the BP Monitor out as soon as i got home from my medical school, it works perfectly and there are no glitches the reading is acurate and setting the time, day and date with year and alarm is easy. the numbers are large enough to read without glkasses.
i am impressed with this unit so now i don't have to go to the drugstore to get a BP reading when i have to go to pick up allergy medicine, ect.
the cuff is large for arms 14.2 to 17.7, medium is for arms 9.2 to 14.2.
i normally would get a medium, but the large cuff fits good even if it overlaps a little. I might have to get the Medium cuff.
if i could i wood rate this a 10 pkus 100% approved by a med student
i highly recommend the Life Source Blood Pressure Moniter: model UA-853LACGet more detail about LifeSource UA-853LAC Premium Digital Blood Pressure Monitor with Large Cuff.

Low Price Littmann 2113 Classic II Pediatric Stethoscope, Black


Despite the description of Pediatric AND Infant stethoscope and despite the product description stating BOTH stethoscopes are...The product is only ONE pediatric stethoscope, not one pediatric and one infant stethoscope as implied. No infant stethoscope is included in this product. The cost of this is ~$20 higher than an individual pediatric scope again suggesting that paying a little more and bundling, you are getting TWO stethoscopes. Please be aware this is only ONE pediatric scope and does NOT include an infant scope. Get more detail about Littmann 2113 Classic II Pediatric Stethoscope, Black.

Save PF100 Peak Flow/FEV1 Analyzer Software with USB Cable


For the price, this software is very, very basic. I like having it because I can easily see the trends of my PEF and FEV1. It has an option to overlay green, yellow and red zones over the data which I like. I've had my device for about a month now and plan to print reports to take to my doctor. If I had to write all that information down each time I used my meter, I would be much less likely to use it. The software makes it much easier to be compliant with my doctor's orders of getting (and recording) a reading every morning and evening.

In order for the software to work, you must install the driver for the meter. I accidentally skipped this step during installation so it took me a little while to get it up and running on my computer. Also, the meter has to be turned on in order for the computer to download the data. That is a minor detail, but I sometimes forget to do it....then wonder why the meter isn't synching. ;-)Get more detail about PF100 Peak Flow/FEV1 Analyzer Software with USB Cable.
