 Seems to be Accurate Jan 19, 2006
By James Krebs
"mind meld"
I've had it for one day and it seems to be accurate. I calibrated the UA-787EJ against the manual setup (stethiscope, gauge and cuff) that I purchased last week and the readings are consistant. I read the first review that stated their disatisfaction b/c the readings were "high". I would recommend calibrating the unit yourself and if it is off, return it for another or a refund.
For the last week I've tested several monitors in the local stores (Omron, ReliOn, LifeSource) and I felt that all of them reported low BP readings. I even ordered one that was very eratic in its readings but was always 10 to 12 points lower than the readings taken w/a stethiscope (sometimes I used the BP machine at Wal-Mart, which seemed to be consistent). I returned it for a refund.
I work at a hospital, and a co-worker used the new UA-787EJ this morning, found that his blood pressure was very high, went down to ER and indeed it was extremely high. If you have doubts about the accuracy, I suggest purchasing the manual steth., gauge and cuff to do your own calibartion. It was the only way I could be confident the automatic unit was accurate and reliable. The manual setup only costs about $16.00 from Wal-Mart (maybe less from Amazon) and taking your BP is easy.

 Erroneous readings Jan 16, 2006
By B. Narbuth
"Nurse"
After doing extensive research on the web, I purchased this item to replace a current blood pressure monitor. While the Easy Fit cuff was easy to place, the B/P readings obtained for my wife and myself were much higher than those obtained on our previous B/P cuff as well as higher than blood pressures taken at the doctor's office. Since we had no confidence in the accuracy of the readings, I returned the B/P cuff to Amazon for a refund.

It's good... if you follow the instructions Dec 15, 2010
By Vman
First, let me say that I use this monitor twice a day. I used to get very high readings until I followed the manual. I even took it to my doc to verify it was accurate. I learned to improve my readings by doing the following. I had to sit in front of my desk. Put my palm on the desk, face up. Make sure the white line on the armband was on the inside of my bicep and no talking. I take my reading 2-3 times per seating, with a 30-45 sec break between readings, to verify accuracy. Sounds like a lot...right. Not really. I've learned how to get accurate and consistent readings. I enter my best reading in iBP app for my IPhone. My doc was more than pleased to have so much information about my high blood pressure. This info helped him change my prescription to the proper med. I take less than 5 min twice a day to monitor my progress. I like this product. I would recommend it.

Very happy with Life Source UA-787EJ Dec 25, 2009
By C. A. Lazar
This BP monitor is easy to use and set up. It is also very accurate and calibrated well with readings taken at the MD's office. Cuff accommodates several adult sized arms in the household.

Not Accurate in its readings Apr 27, 2009
By Cheryl B. Kingham
"Cheryl K."
We were urged to purchase a monitor for caregiving of my elderly mother in the home. Home Health nurses regularly checked her BP and compared it with the monitor in the first 3 weeks we had it. The dyastolic was off 20 points each time and the systolic off from 8-10 points. We were told to send it back since it was unsafe and useless because of inaccurate readings.
