I was really struck by the LifeSource UA-853LAC Premium Digital Blood Pressure Monitor. Why so? Time tracking my blood pressure monitoring regimen has been the most difficult part for me when I was still using the old fashioned sphygmomanometer.

When I read about LifeSource’s AM/PM TimeWise Tracking Technology, I was really excited to learn more about what I can get from the device. I found out immediately that this blood pressure monitor categorizes and averages blood pressure rate taken over time as AM or PM reading. But other than that, what has gotten me hooked the most is the 90 readings memory storage with time and date stamp. This has made it easy for me to track down the progression of my blood pressure for one month straight if I were to do the measurements once in the morning and once at night. So the next time I visit my doctor, I would only need to take the monitor with me and he would easily determine any trends in my blood pressure average rate.

Still, I read more. I didn’t think any device can be this perfect. I check for accuracy. One of my friends said that they used to own a digital blood pressure monitor that turns out to be inaccurate and unreliable when he tried to check the measurements against his doctor’s measurement. What happened was that his brand was so prone to noises.

LifeSource UA-853LAC resolves that issue with its Irregular Heartbeat Detection technology. It means that the device can actually detect any errors in reading and automatically ignores any noises. In fact, you will get three programmable alarms to inform you if such errors happen.

Aside from that, this blood pressure monitor also features the Pressure Rating Indicator which provides color codes for each reading based on clinical standards.

If your concerned is more on the operations side, rest assured that LifeSource UA-853LAC will save you money. It includes both an AC adapter and a set of 4 AA batteries. You can use the AC adapter to power the blood pressure monitor at home and insert the AA batteries if you are going to travel.
