 Great, if you don't have low heart rate... April 22, 2010

My heart rate when I had extremely high blood pressure was 180/95 consistently with a pulse of about 85-90 and a resting heart rate of about 65. The device was accurate when my heart rate was up in "normal" zones. After about 6 or 7 months, of being put on beta-blockers, ACE inhibitors to lower blood pressure. My heart rate become 50-60 range and my blood pressure was 135/85 consistently with a resting heart rate of about 45.
I would take my BP every morning. As my heart rate started to reach the low 50s and below, it would CONSISTENTLY give an Irregular Heartbeat warning on EVERY time I used it. However, if my heart rate was EVER above 55ish during the day, it would never give this indicator. I tested this several times, several times a day. This device has caused nothing but anxiety for me as I did countless visits to the ER and family doctor and countless EKGs to determine if I had something wrong with my heart (other than my high BP obviously) everything came back normal.
I've tried a couple other blood pressure machines that have Irregular Heartrate monitors and NONE of them have ever thrown a warning, even when my heartrate is 42-49 resting (early morning).
This device originally cost me $103.00, but after all the hospital bill and doctor co-pays, it ended up costing about $3000.00.
If you have a low resting heart rate or low heart rate ingeneral, DO NOT use this product, unless you can live with the Irregular Heartbeat warning showing up on each reading.

Originally purchased unit that advertised the unit came with a data computer cord and software or download software. Unit arrived without advertised cord or instruction to dowload and without disk. Upon complainimg the Livamed send me a male cord to fit a male attachment and charged me an extra 22 dollars and change for whaat it originally said it was included. I fell ripped off and had to make an ajustment to the machine to make the cord work and upload to my computer. Make suee that you get what you pay for from this company. Their wording has change somewhat since receiving the unit but still advise caution.

Microlife 3AC1-PC
I have Atrial-Fibrillation, the irregular heartbeat feature plus pressure and pulse rate measurement indicated a very low blood pressure and a pulse rate of 176. The monitor in the ambulance yielded the same results. Shock therapy given at the hospital restored a normal pressure and pulse. When I purchased the item I was mainly interested in the three measurement accuracy. Had a heart attack after purchasing it, Atrial-Fibrillation occurred after the attack, this caused me to appreciate the irregular heart beat capability
 Decent device, terrible software. December 21, 2008

I really like this device. The integration with HealthVault is great but the software is very buggy and difficult to use.
