Blood Pressure Monitor Review

The Lifesource Blood Pressure Monitor – UA-853AC Stand-Up – This Workhorse just Works.

Many of my readers know that I really get into blood pressure monitor reviews. Being a long time member of the medical product review community, I know all too well, how dangerous not being proactive about your health can be. HCL (Health Care Laziness), as I like to call it, is all too common and it can literally rob you of years from your life.

Many people, some as young as in their forties, depend on blood pressure monitors to avoid, or cope with, hypertension. I don’t write these reviews, because I enjoy them; I write them because they provide information to people about important products. In fact, I honestly believe that no home should be without a blood pressure monitor.

Well enough of the sermon, we are here to review the Lifesource UA-853AC Premium Stand-Up Blood Pressure Monitor. Because I travel a lot, I like to review the more portable type BP monitors. Nonetheless, I have to admit that the larger monitors, like the UA-853AC are more accurate and have more features. This monitor does everything and more that you can ask from a home pressure monitor.

The Lifesource monitor boasts solid engineering and first-rate accuracy. It is not on the cheaper end of the BP monitor spectrum; however, it isn’t expensive either. For the plethora of features that the unit offers, this unit should be considered a good value.

My favorite feature of the Lifesource UA-853CP monitor is the Irregular Heartbeat Detection technology it uses. IHD is extremely useful in allowing users to receive early warnings about possible arrhythmia issues. IHD Detection information provided by the monitor will help a physician in properly charting a course of action I cannot begin to tell how very important this feature could prove for many people who suffer arrhythmia conditions. Having already been around a few years, the technology has proven effective in saving lives. Detecting arrhythmia issues early can help a patient stave off a potential heart attack or stroke.

The TimeWise system, used by the Lifesource UA-853AC, makes the monitor aware of both morning and evening BP readings, and is another very useful and informative feature. In addition, the monitor stores both morning and evening reading averages. This is very helpful in examining dosage levels. Those taking medication for high blood pressure or hypertension are aware that many times day and night dosages can vary. Taking these reports to your doctor will only to serve to make him more effective in your treatment.

The machine can also be programmed with 3 different alarm times; to remind you that you need to check your pressure (a very handy feature for the slightly absent minded like me). In addition, the monitor also provides for logging of your last ninety blood pressure readings. These logging and reporting results, enable your doctor better gauge the effectiveness of any potential medications. The display is very large and extremely easy to read (you won’t be reaching for your reading glasses for this one), and display results are easy to understand.

The Lifesource UA853AC is a solidly built machine designed for years use. Lifesource offers a full lifetime warranty on its BP monitors.

On the whole, the Lifesource Monitor UA-853AC is a premium quality Blood Pressure Monitor that gives you everything you would expect and more.  Because of the size of the monitor, you probably won’t find it very suitable for quick trips; however, it will fit easily in large bags or suitcases.

With reasonable care and use, this Lifesource Monitor will provide you with years of quality and accurate Blood Pressure Results. The UA-853AC unit is moderately priced and is well worth the money. There is nothing fancy here; but nothing lacking either. It is a workhorse!
