Lifesource Blood Pressure Monitor

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. After years in the medical product review profession, I know first-hand the dangers of not taking care of your health 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. It is not, therefore, so much that I enjoy reviewing blood pressure monitors, as it is knowing how absolutely vital they can be for so many people. 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. I usually like to review the more portable types (because I travel a lot myself) of blood pressure monitor. But even the best portable monitors, cannot match full-sized home units like the UA-853AC, for accuracy and features. This Lifesource Monitor has every feature that you could possibly want or need in a home pressure monitor.

The Lifesource UA-853AC Stand-Up Blood Pressure Monitor is a rock, and as dependable or accurate as any model we have tested. This monitor is definitely as cheap as some other available models; but I would not consider it expensive either. If you consider all of the features offered by this monitor, then it is definitely one of the better values available.

Most important of the units many features is the invaluable Irregular Heartbeat Detection technology, found in this Lifesource monitor. IHD warns users about possible arrhythmia issues. Patterns detected by the machine can be discussed with a doctor to determine on how to proceed with diagnosis or treatment. 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. Early detection leads to a better chance of correcting a defective condition.

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. Armed with this helpful information, a doctor can better evaluate medicine dosage levels. Those taking medication for high blood pressure or hypertension are aware that many times day and night dosages can vary. When it’s time for your next doctor’s appointment, your doctor will be pleased with these reports.

The Lifesource UA-853AC also has the ability to ring an alarm at 3 different times to remind you to take your medication (a nice touch for the slightly absentminded) The Lifesource UA-853AC will also store results for your last ninety blood pressure checks. Again, doctors love these; they are great for helping them evaluate effectiveness of medications and other type treatments. 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.

This monitor is very well made and designed to last. Lifesource offers a full lifetime warranty on its BP monitors.

Overall the UA-853AC Lifesource Monitor is a well made, first-rate, quality Blood Pressure Monitor that does everything we can expect a monitor to do. This monitor is not really designed to be portable, so taking it with you on quick trips won’t be as convenient as with some smaller units.

This Lifesource Monitor is a solidly built Blood Pressure Monitor that will give you very accurate results for years, with reasonable care and use. The UA-853AC offers a lot for the price you pay. This  monitor has everything you need and nothing you don’t. This workhorse just works, and works well.
