Lumiscope Automatic Wrist Digital Blood Pressure Monitor - Digital LCD Screen, Pulse Monitor, and 2-User Memory - 1143

checking family blood pressures

After using the Lumiscope Model 1091 we decided to order what we thought was a newer version, a Lumiscope Model 1143. Either the Model 1143 is not calibrated correctly, or the newer technology does not work! Both of the Lumiscope models are easy to use and thus the reason why we ordered one for personal use, but you have to be able to believe that you are getting reasonable accuracy, or else the device is useless. Upon questioning the accuracy and the newer technology with Lumiscope, it was easy for Lumiscope to blame the inaccuracy on a handling error, but that is not the case.We have taken multiple readings on three different people, using left and right arms, and compared the readings of the two Lumiscope Models with a Philips Bedside Monitor non-invasive cuff measurement. The Lumiscope Model 1143 consistently reads considerable higher on both systolic and diastolic on all three people and on both arms than does the Lumiscope Model 1091 or the Philips bedside monitor. The Lumiscope Model 1091 and the Philips bedside monitor are within a couple of points of each other.Since the technology of measurement is different on the two Lumiscope models, I have to question the accuracy of their newer technology. Lumiscope will only blame the inaccuracy on "handling error". Judging what I have seen, I would recommend that the technology used in the Lumiscope Model 1143 and the purchace of Model 1143 be avoided.

Don't waste your money.

Easy to use! Does not take up a lot of space and can travel easy in my suitcases!

The Lumiscope 1143 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor is a very user friendly product. It has a memory that allows the user to save 100 blood pressure readings, which eliminates the need to keep a journal. The storage case is perfect for taking the device to the gym or carrying in a back pack. If you have the need to check your heart rate or blood pressure, I would highly suggest the Lumiscope 1143.

I have this monitor about a year, and it's working OK so far.Like other reviews, it's not accurate very often.But it does not mean that it's impossible to get accurate result with it. You have to kinda work with it to find out how to get accurate resuls.

I use this product at work all the time and have nothing but good things to say about it. It is fast easy to use and has held up to much wear and tear. I have not had any problems with inaccurate readings although I do get an error message if I try to use it while it is cold from having been in my car.

The product is good and beautifulgood quality and would recommend to all peoplevery useful and practicali like
