Review on ADC 760-11ABK Prosphyg 760 Pocket Aneroid Sphygmomanometer With Adcuff Nylon Blood Pressure Cuff For Adults, Black by Rick Pickering

This is a dangerous product

A few month ago, I tried several automaic blood pressure monitors to replace my old Omron, but found fault in all of them. So I settle on an old-fashioned sphingomonometer. I noticed from the beginning that this equipment was more sensitie than the other monitors and registered higher number than I had expected. During the past months, my blood pressure steadily climbed despite increasing the dosage of medication. It was very disturbing. One day I was in the drug store to pick up more medicine when I noticed that thay had just installed a brand new (stand up) blood pressure monitor. I testd it and my blood pressure was 91/58. I then bought a new automatic blood pessure monitor from the drug store and tested it, and my blood pressure was 94/58. I came home and tested my ADT monitor, it registered 160/70. No wonder I felt so dizzy and nearly got into a car accident one day. I totally agree with the other group of disatisffied customers that it makes no point to waste postage and time to have this product re-calibrated. I just want to warn the other customers and the manufacturers that a defective blood pressure moniter is as dangerous as taking wrong dosage of medication. By the way, I am a retired physician.

Pros
  • High visibility dial for easy reading
Cons
  • The device may not work properly if the valve is not properly closed
