does it fit a 12"arm does it shw heart rate irregularity

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.

Like one of the previous answers: My left upper arm is also 12.5 and it fits pretty well. It is tight, but then that is how it should fit. A loose compression sleeve would be useless.

That cuff won't give an accurate reading on a large arm. It's too small. You need to do a little research to find one that will work.

The book with it says it detects irregular heart beat. I havent used it much to run into that

Per my Dr.'s advice, this brand and make sure it is a upper arm measurement device. It is more accurate that a wrist device.

It is 38" long loose. It will stretch to 60 " tight. U need it to be snug to pick up heart rate

Yes it does. It fits great. My arm is 10" above the elbow. It fits with LOTS of room to spare. The band is 12" BEFORE it stretches. It overlaps to Velcro. I have really liked it!!!

It works with big arms. No problem! The tuneband is perfect for a confortable runnig way.

No, the arm length is 19cm (just the straight part). To the center of the circle is 21cm. Very sturdy.

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.

Hi Abbie, it is not a one size fits all. But if you measure the zone around your biceps and it is 14 inches or less, the armband will close with the velcro. I actually think that this armband would close perfectly if your biceps is 12.5 inches or less (velcro will close as intended).I have an iPod touch 3rd generation released on Sep 2009, and it fits perfect.

Absolutely. You don't have to move arms to measure your heart rate. I had was with a transmitter - it wasn't functioning right & I sent it back.

Yes, unless you never move your arms...! The unit strongly picks up arm movement, maybe even above foot movement. It would be useful to pause and check heart rate. That allow unit to figure calorie burn through the day, and particularly during activity.

According to the info given in the instruction manual. It does measure irregular heart beat and if you have irregular heart beat, a symboldepicting your heart beat will appear on the monitor.

This is a monitor that fits your wrist only. You can get specs on their website at A&D MEDICAL. The cuff fits wrists up to 8.5 inches. Sounds like you may be looking for an upper arm type monitor.

I bought this large one on the advice of my cardiologist. My arm is about 16 inches around, so maybe 40 cm? If you get one that is not the right size for the patient, you'll get incorrect readings.
