Editorial Reviews:

Product Description
A&D Medical has applied its state-of-the-art measurement technology to monitoring blood pressure at the wrist with the push of a single button. This wrist monitor is smaller, lighter and more compact than other wrist monitors and is ideal for travel. Unlike other monitors that measure blood pressure during deflation of the cuff, the Travel Size wrist monitor measures blood pressure during cuff inflation for a faster, more comfortable reading. The automatic memory keeps your last 30 blood pressure measurements for effective tracking. The average reading feature automatically calculates the "average" of the total readings stored in memory. The UB-521 also has the Irregular Heartbeat feature. This feature provides blood pressure and pulse rate measurements even when an Irregular Heartbeat occurs and alerts the user. A rigid carrying case is included to protect the monitor when not in use.

3 out of 5 stars Flighty accuracy compared to A & D upper arm models   October 9, 2009
William D. McCabe Jr. (Portland, OR USA)
4 out of 4 found this review helpful

Well made and documented. But not accurate enough for me, so I donated to Goodwill.

Am nut on BP monitors and have gone through many over past few years. Went to A&D brand based on experience with several models that were always close to what got the traditional way at doc's office.

Wanted wrist model to use at gym, but gave up when readings varied from close to same, to 20
percent higher than my current A&D upper arm model, with no apparent reason for the variation. Pulse rate was always close to upper arm model reading, however.

Placement of cuff relative to wrist was touchy, to say the least, and had a major effect on reading got,but again, I could not see a consistency of reading versus cuff placement.

I recommend the upper arm models. I have had several A&D models and all worked fine and were close to my doctor's mercury tube model's readings. I choose based upon features I want.
