No Ed, it is not. I got one for my husband, which is not a small man.... it fits me instead. And im a small woman.

It's a standard size cuff. If you need a large cuff you'd have to purchase one separately.

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.

It was pretty big, but not what I would consider massive. I can tell you that it fit well on a 5'5", 200 lb. person. Hope that is of some help.

This is a regular size cuff for a regular sized adult. To get an accurate blood pressure on a large adult, you will need to order an extra large cuff. A regular sized cuff will not give accurate readings on a really large arm. Proper fit is important for an accurate reading. Suggest you look on another site if there are none on Amazon. Make sure that it comes with a guage included, unless you already have one, and a stethoscope.

No, will fit a standard arm, try looking for a leg cuff. You can still use it on your arm.

Update....Standard cuff is for arms 9 to 13 inchesLarge cuff is for arms 13 to 17 inches.Taking your bp with a cuff that isn't the correct fit will provide you with false readings potentially. So measure your arm where the cuff will need to be placed and buy the correct size. Hope these answers help.

it comes with a "standard" cuff... which is to say about 5-8 inch circumferenceanything bigger than that you should buy the "adult" cuff or it will give you weird "off the chart" readings

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.

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.

I find this wrist monitor accurate enough. My readings before Doctors visits compared to her upper arm cuff method are only a few points different. Activity will change your BP reading so your doctor may require you have his office nurse to do frequent checks . I doubt that a post op cardiac patient would use this wrist monitor but I think for the average home taking BP this is an excellent choice and if the readings were very low or very high you should see your Doctor for a check up immediately.I will not dicker if your doctor prefers the cuff but this method also has a problem if the taker of the BP is hard of hearing ......Follow your Doctors advice what ever it is. Thats what you pay him for. I find this wrist monitor accurate enough. My readings before Doctors visits compared to her upper arm cuff method are only a few points different.

I have an OMRON HEM-CL24. It says it is Large Cuff for arms 13-17 inches (32-42 cm). I went into Amazon and read the description of the one your are looking at and it seems that the size is also a Large. Hope this helps.

The cuff that came with the unit is ok for larger arm. I have to use large cuff at Dr's ofice, but the Omron cuff is ok for me. Any doubts, call the compay.

You could if you have used the standard cuff & scope before. You have to listen via scope to get an acuurate reading of your blood pressure. There are accurate digital machines, check w your doctor.

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've been using this about 5 years and I'm not having a problem. Are you sure you're using it right? It doesn't have to be tight. It seems essentially the same as what most doctors use. The only negative I've run across is keeping the cuff aligned as I wrap it. It tends to wander a bit causing the Velcro to have "bubbles" in it. I just make sure I press it down with my right hand as I wrap it. I don't know of any other cuffs but you might check their web site. For me it works fine and reads pretty close to the same as the doctor's.

I have an average arm size, but this unit has enough cuff for arm size maybe 3x mine. Hope this helps.

I have the Omron BP785 and I ordered the large cuff at the same time. It does not fit on the unit. Want to buy one cheap?

A friend of mine had an expansive arm cuff he purchased and I checked mine readings with his and they were very similar. I also took it to the Dr. Office and checked it with theirs and had same results. I like mine and feel comfortable that it is accurate.

Overall I'd say they are pretty close in accuracy, but something to consider is the general size of the patients wrist and upper arm. I have a lot of patients that for one reason or another fall into the obese category and sometimes the wrist cuff won't fit right{of course with some the arm cuff won't fit either!} that being said if you want the best accuracy go with the manual cuff and stethoscope its not the fastest method but unless you having hearing issues it will give you the best readings. I hope I've been able to help you with this.
