Does it need to be hooked up to anything at the time that blood pressure is measured?

While the blood pressure is being measured, it does not need to be wired connected to anything. You simply charge it, turn it on, place it on your wrist, make sure your phone's bluetooth capability has been turned on, connect via bluetooth, open the iHealth app and click test. So it simply measures your blood pressure while only being connected via bluetooth.

No. Power is supplied by an internal rechargeable battery in the BP7 and the Blood pressure results are displayed wirelessly on your smartphone via Bluetooth.

It only needs to be "hooked up" via blue tooth to your phone.I have to reboot my iPhone 4s prior to using it to get a valid result - this is due to the lack of "computing power" in the 4s. I also have an iPhone 5 which has no problems at all.

The iHealth BP7 Wireless Blood Pressure unit does not require any wires at the time that blood pressure is measured. I really wanted this thing to work but I gave up after a week of trying to get an accurate blood pressure reading, i returned it.

I tried it for a few weeks but it is not use as doctor level equipment. anyway, it works on sport or exercise workout for controling your burning point.

Yes. Or else you can't hear the heartbeat and find the systolic and diastolic on the meter.

I so not think any home monitor can accurately read your blood pressure. I have taken my monitor with me to the doctor's office on several occasions. It can read anywhere from 10 to 20 points higher than what the doctor's machine reads. To quote her "use it as a guide, not as a fact". So, that's what I do.

The machine takes a snapshot reading. It does not monitor BP over a continuous period. However, as soon as one reading is done you can take another and the machine will remember and display all the readings, along with the date/time of each.

No stethoscope required. The unit senses the patient's pulse thru the cuff. One problem is that the unit does not properly sense an irregular heartbeat. The inside computer becomes confused, since it expects a regular heartbeat. I gave up using it and bought a wrist cuff monitor that works repeatably with my irregular heart beat.

As far as I'm concerned there should be an "always on" option as I know that you can leave the machine on for as long as you want. I highly recommend the BP monitor in case you are not sure about getting it. I personally love this thing. --Ralph

You can download it anytime. If you keep using the usb blood checker it will store it on the device. When you plug it into the computer it will download all the new information. At least that's what it appears it does. i often to not hook it up until after a few tests and all of the information appears to be there.

Apparently, its accurate.The upper arm cuff is dependent on the nurse counting and listening. This device likely does both, reliably, and error free.Doctors should take that in the waiting room before a person comes in, so they get a very good resting blood pressure.

The reliability is a bit variable, as checked by my wife, an RN, using a manual sphygmomanometer and stethoscope. I usually tried to do the three-reading average technique but found that maintaining this cuff over my brachial artery was difficult. However, a a general method of monitoring treatment for established hypertension, I found it satisfactory.

On the box it says,"Track your blood pressure on your iPhone, iPad or iPod touch."

I compared mine to the use of sphygmomanometer, like in dr.office and stethoscope. Wrist manometer easy, comfortable. Readings comparable, blood pressure changes all the time. Important thing is following changes

I bought Manual Blood Pressure Cuff Adult Size Sphygmomanometer for my wife because the previous Cuff was not enough in length. Now, the readings of blood pressure with this monitor and monitor used my wife physician are very close. Thank you. Paul.

I did, and I love it. It's great if you need to check your bp many times a day. If the numbers are questionable then you get out the arm cuff.

you can hook to any monitor or TV that has the correct inputs. You can also hook directly to a DVR.

If you take the small plastic adapter, that plugs into the unit, off of the old cuff and place it on the end of the tubing of the new cuff, your blood pressure machine should work just fine with the new cuff.
