LifeSource UB-328 Wrist Auto Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor

The LifeSource UB-328 Wrist Auto Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor is one of the most popular of the company’s range of blood pressure monitors. Here is an official description:

The UB-328 Wrist Auto-Inflation is an innovative monitor that incorporates digital blood pressure technology and advanced features in a small, compact design. A&D Medical has applied its state-of-the-art measurement technology to monitoring blood pressure at the wrist. This monitor is activated with the push of a single button. The large display simultaneously shows systolic, diastolic and pulse readings. The measurement range is 20 mmHg to 280 mmHg and Pulse: 40 to 200 pulses/minute. The UB-328 stores the last 30 readings in memory and displays average readings. The average reading feature automatically calculates the "average" of the total readings stored in memory. Also included is an Irregular Heartbeat Feature that alerts the user and provides an accurate measurement even when an irregular heartbeat occurs.

The LifeSource website offers a lot of information, as well as detail on using a blood pressure monitor, particularly for weight management.

Sales sites like Amazon.com offer useful consumer reviews. Here is one, from a user who awarded the device five stars (out of five):

I've only had my monitor for a few weeks so I can't speak to it's long term performance. So far however, I'm very satisfied. I work in a hospital so the first thing I did was compare the results of the LifeSource monitor to the real thing. The comparative results were basically the same. I compared the results of a friend's BPs and it appears that this device is pretty reliable. It's easy to operate,easy to read and small enough to take with you to work, trips, etc. I would caution anyone who's wrist circumference is close to the upper limit (7.7 in.)... My left wrist is 6 3/8 inches and it's a very tight fit...
