The Lifesource Blood Pressure Monitor UA-853AC -Stand-Up – A Workhorse
Many of my readers often comment on how much I seem to enjoy blood pressure monitor reviews. After years in the medical product review profession, I know first-hand the dangers of not taking care of your health HCL (Health Care Laziness), as I like to call it, is all too common and it can literally rob you of years from your life.
Many older people depend on blood pressure monitors to maintain good cardiovascular health. So, I don’t write these articles out of the pleasure I receive from them; I write them because I feel the information is relevant and important. In fact, I honestly believe that no home should be without a blood pressure monitor.
Well enough of the sermon, we are here to review the Lifesource UA-853AC Premium Stand-Up Blood Pressure Monitor. Being on the road a lot myself, I really appreciate the portable type blood pressure monitors. However, I must admit that the best of those cannot compete with the accuracy or reporting features, of a unit like the UA-853AC. The Lifesource UA-853AC leaves nothing lacking, when comes to available features in a home monitor.
Well built and well designed, the accuracy of the Lifesource UA-853AC is second to none. While not so cheap as some home monitors you will find; it is less expensive than some other less capable BP monitors. For the plethora of features that the unit offers, this unit should be considered a good value.
Most important of the units many features is the invaluable Irregular Heartbeat Detection technology, found in this Lifesource monitor. IHD allows a user to know when irregularities occur that could be signs of arrhythmia issues. Irregular heartbeat conditions detected by the monitor can then be discussed with a physician and further diagnosed. I cannot begin to tell how very important this feature could prove for many people who suffer arrhythmia conditions. Having already been around a few years, the technology has proven effective in saving lives. Detecting arrhythmia issues early can help a patient stave off a potential heart attack or stroke.
The Lifesource UA-853AC knows the difference between morning and evening blood pressure readings. The Lifesource monitor can also tell you the averages for both morning and evening readings. Armed with this helpful information, a doctor can better evaluate medicine dosage levels. If you take medication for hypertension, then you know that morning and evening dosages will often times vary. When it’s time for your next doctor’s appointment, your doctor will be pleased with these reports.
The Lifesource UA-853AC also has the ability to ring an alarm at 3 different times to remind you to take your medication (a nice touch for the slightly absentminded) In addition, the monitor also provides for logging of your last ninety blood pressure readings. Your doctor will also really like the logging feature, because the log helps him to gauge the effectiveness of your medication. The monitor has a very large LCD Display, which means the results are easy to read, even at a distance.
The unit is of solid construction and very durable in its design. Lifesource offers a full lifetime warranty on its BP monitors.
On the whole, the Lifesource Monitor UA-853AC is a premium quality Blood Pressure Monitor that gives you everything you would expect and more. Because of the size of the monitor, you probably won’t find it very suitable for quick trips; however, it will fit easily in large bags or suitcases.
This Lifesource Monitor is a solidly built Blood Pressure Monitor that will give you very accurate results for years, with reasonable care and use. The UA-853AC monitor is a very good value for the money. This workhorse performs.
