I purchased this cuff and it reads high. I read the instructions but didn't find calibration details. Typically reads 168/125 but 120/88 is real read

I got just the opposite results. Mine were low. I think we can assume this cuff does not work properly. My doctor says that in general wrist cuffs are not reliable. She wants me to buy an upper arm cuff.

I've experienced the results of high readings way above my real bood pressure tested on another device. So needless to say I'm not sastified with this particular cuff.

I have never calibrated mine and not sure how you would do it short of sending it back to factory. I have compared mine with several other test sets and also the system at my pool store and found it to be very accurate.

you will notice the top of the clear ring starts lined up with zero at the top of the scale. You want to use the top of the ring to get your measurement from. You have to slide the ring back up for each measure. You should measure 3 times or more and average the reads. For a pistol hold the gun down on a table or sturdy surface as just holding it in your hand introduces errors. I found doing that usually caused it to read as much as a pound more than when the guns held butt down on my bench.

I am a nurse and I use this cuff on some of my smaller female adults and it gives me very accurate readings. I also use it on the thighs of young children. I love my Omron and believe it is one of the better units on thearket. I bought one for my 80 year old mother and she uses it regularly.

as far as I understood when I ordered it, it was calibrated, however the manufacturer listed that it works best toward the middle of the range of pressure 20-40psi as the gage loses a little accuracy at the extremes, as happens with all gages, thats why the make high pressure, and low pressure gages from what I understand. Hope this helps, thanks

I have no idea if this cuff is compatible with any particular model. I just cut the plug off the old cuff and made it work. Easy to do, and calibration does not appear to be an issue.

I checked the users guide and do not see any information about calibration of the unit. There is a support number you can call.

I have been getting high readings, quite a bit more than at my doctor's office.This has really irritated me since I bought it! I noticed the cuff is a medium adult, with an arm circumference up to 16 1/2 inches. What we need is a large cuff for most adults, I take BP readings on my patients and usually use a large cuff. My arm is not very fat and it measures 16 3/4 inches, so this is too small for me and especially my 6'2" husband! I have looked to see if there is another cuff I can buy to replace the medium one and have not found one on Amazon.

I routinely measure 0.04 grams, works for me but I have no way to compare. The calibration seems right on.

I found no calibration feature. You can contact the manufacturer and they will answer your question further.

I do not recall anything about calibration and I no longer have it. After spending two days with very unusual readings, I threw it in the trash. I purchased a used military compass which still works after 30 years.

It looks suspiciously like a decimal point is moved for some reason. I am not a Dr. but I'd wonder if 161/109 were valid reading (not one that you want, I'm only guessing at the concidence.

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.

I ordered this for my mother, she hasn't had any problems with the reading been inaccurate. She takes this to her doctor to have them check it against their reading and it has been fine. I hope this information helps. Joyce

As far as I know you don't. I have two other oxymeters and have taken overnight tests with professional grade recorders and my meter reads accurate out of the box when cross-referenced with the other meters. It is important, at least for me, to remember I can vary up to 5 points depending on what finger I use with any meter. Anyway, my meter came accurate and didn't need calibrating so I never looked in to it.

not sure cause I have thrown it away .. Worked well for a few months then per the errors codes needed new cuff

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.
