If my swollen arm circumference is without been tied 18 inches, would this monitor still work and give accurate readings?

The sleeve is wide - about 8 inches -- and if I wrap it around my arm - good sized - it almost overlaps...

If you move your arms at all it seems to calculate for me. I believe if you don't move your arms at I don't think it would be accurate. Hope this helps.

I can't say for sure, but I'd try it. You can always return it, so keep the box in case it doesn't work. I recommend trying to find a clamping point on your desk that will be somewhat close to where your monitor will actually be suspended because the shorter the arm's radius from clamp to monitor, the less leverage forces the clamp will exert on your desk.

I took mine to DR's office to compare wrist unit to Dr's measurement. Low number was right on the money. Upper number read 6 higher on wrist unit.If you buy one, do the same thing. If you don't like the accuracy, return the unit.

Depending on your needs and circumstances, a larger cuff at the level of the brachial artery (upper arm) like the 7 arm model would tend to give a more accurate reading.Between the 3 and 7 wrist series, some minor differences. The 7 can connect to a PC, but no irregular HB indicator...One would think as the series numbers progress that there would be more features, as opposed to mixing them up.

Yes, your BP is shown automatically after you pump it up manually. and the cuff size is from 9 - 14 inches. Personally I would have preferred to buy the complete manual one, the one that most doctors use, because this model is extremely sensitive........you have to be ABSOLUTELY still (except of course pumping) in you movements, especially the arm you are checking....... or it will either show ERROR or give you a bum reading.

HI! It worked right away for me and the inches didn't come back (I had also started exercising and eating healthy). They recommend keeping the wrap on for one to one and a half hours.

Use a measuring tape for their wrists. I have a small wrist for an adult, almost 5 inches and it works for me. However, if their wrists are smaller than that you will not be able to fasten the monitor securely and therefore will not get an accurate reading. Hope this helps.

Normal adult arm for both sexes, will not be big enough around for obese or person with large muscular arms. If you do not use correct size the reading will be incorrect. I am a RN.

I couldn't confirm. Returned it anyway because cuff was too big ... couldn't align it without it spinning around my arm. The few times I managed (with a 2nd person helping - which makes it almost useless anyway) the reading was wildly different (&gt; 20 points higher for both systolic&diastolic) than on my older machine. Didn't know which machine to believe ... have a gut feeling the older machine was more accurate.

I don't think it matters but I just tried it and got different readings from one arm to the other. It is important to have your arm at the level of your heart and not below.

I don't know the exact answer except to say it is a Velcro strap that should fit the wrist of any human wrist. The reason I tried this one was for that very reason. Most of the home version BP Monitors fit regular sized arms but not large arms like mine. This works fine for me and I can't imagine it not working for anyone else.

I wear it around my chest. The electro probes underneath the monitor picks up your heart rate, so I don't think it would calibrate with an arm pulse.

Interesting question. I just measured my arm and it's 12"! But I believe any bigger than that you'd definitely need a bigger cuff, which probably can be ordered. The 12" cuff JUST fits me so any bigger than that, no. It also indicates when you've put it on properly, it has a circle with OK in it. Otherwise, it stops working until you have it on right. It does do heart beats rate but if you have an irregular heart beat, it would possibly show it OR it may shut down. The B/P monitoring company most likely doesn't want to get sued for someone having an irregular heartbeat so I think it will shut down. Contact manufacturer, I'm sure they'd be very happy to help.

Because of the special stand the monitor is attached to, I would have to say no but I've thrown away the box and instructions so I can't say that with 100% accuracy. Sorry.

Measure just below elbow point with arm straight, error on smaller size if close

I think so. The measurements were pretty accurate. You'll probably have to do a bit of stretching.
