Is it normal to never get two same readings in a row. I usually try 3 or4 times and each reading is usually lower each time than the previous one.

Yes, it's not a function of the machine. Your BP is never going to be exactly the same if you take it 3 or 4 times in a row because of the way your arteries respond to being constricted by the cuff. Frankly, I wouldn't do this. These machines are very accurate; the first BP you take should be an accurate reading.

This is my first meter. I realized that I got 3 different number, when I did it 3 times. And I don't know how accurate other meters are.

yes,but when you get into hundreths,(0.01) it only reads in 2 hundreths at a time....i.e. 0.02,0.04,0.06, etc.

I have only had this monitor a short time so I have no idea what will happen later. Nor have I checked it with a doctor. Also, I wouldn't know if the readings were errors! but would probably go in to have my blood pressure read if the readings seemed unusual. After looking at other responses I see that this is about the ERR message. I have only had that once. I am more concerned with the accuracy of the readings.

I'v had mine about a year without any issues like you described. I have found I have to turn it on and let it warm up for about 15 to 20 minutes before it will give accurate readings.

I would make sure I test negative at least three times in a row , three differnt days if you are concerned. Early in the morning is the best time

Yes. But you will be better of calling the MFR and get the machine reset to give you just one reading. The time that lapses between the 3 reading is not enough to call it average.

I had the same problem. I read and followed the instructions. I tried them a second time with the same results. I sent a complaint but did not receive an answer.

It shouldn't jump that erratic, clime & decrease in increments, seal it in a clear plastic bag an watch it to see if your readings steady & level off ? Might get your answer

My answer would be a big YES... it seems very accurate and I often compare it to the one my Step-mom uses daily at her Hospital job.It's consistant within 2 or 3 percent. My husband and I are in our late 50's and we both use it once every morning...again after our daily workout at the Gym...and again a few hours after the Gym workouts. six times a day and it has never failed to give good solid readings.

Mine is not accurate. It has been giving me a diastolic reading of 98 for 2 weeks which sent me to the doctor (costing me money and time.) At the doctor's office got two separate readings of 80. Came home and used this device and got 98 again. So it's off by 18 - which makes it worse than useless. I'm going to have to toss it even though it's practically new. Unless someone else wants it?

I was getting all kinds of funky readings with mine before it fried. It was really the first time that I was checking a house of arc fault. Anyway after it burnt up i talked with tech support they don't have anything. And they told me that you can get many false readings. I won't be replacing it with the same thing

I've found that it can be very temperamental and if the sensor and pick-up are not close enough together or lined up properly then it will not give you a reading. But with occasional small adjustments mine works every time.

I noticed something similar, and sometimes I get a reading that is actually 2x or half my actual pulse. Laying down or being very still helps it read your pulses better.

I have tested few times in the past month. There is no change at all in the reading - ~ 350 before filtering and ~ 350 after filtering.

Mine does the same...intermittently. I don't know why. I have ascertained that it is NOT BROKEN. Just stuck. I keep tapping my foot lightly in the center of the scale until it shows 3 zeros. 00.0 Then I am able to weigh myself and get a proper reading. I weigh myself twice to be certain. Good luck. It is moody but, A great scale in general.

the variation may not be that off... you can never get 2 bp's exactly the same, and often times people get a bit nervous with the second check, resulting in a higher number. you should wait several minutes between checks as subsequent checks are also higher than the previous. Looks like normal variation.
