HealthSmart Manual Home Blood Pressure Monitor with Standard Cuff and Stethoscope, Black

I had a hospital-grade manual blood pressure cuff/stethoscope/meter that I recently gave to a friend who'd just had a stroke, so I wanted to get myself another one. I was amazed that this one was the same quality at such a good cost!! And, YES, you really CAN take your own reading! It's very easy - just read the instructions and keep the meter where you can see it. I was also pleased that Walmart had already attached the tubes on the kit so I didn't have to - I can see where it would be a tad difficult to get them on. I paid for this online using Walmart's "Site to Store" service, which I found so much better than waiting for it to be delivered to my door. It came right away. One more thing - I'd suggest NOT to ever buy one of those electronic or digital Blood Pressure readers. I had one that I'd paid $89 for years back and its readings seemed all over the place after one month (!) and then it died. A good way to keep track of how well ANY monitor or manual reader is performing, is to drop in at your doctor's a few times to compare it. Doctor's now often let you come in for BP readings free of charge. And you'll notice most of them use these manual readers...

Does exactly what I need it to do. So much more accurate than the self-inflating wrist models. Very important, as this is your blood pressure we're talking about.
