LifeSource UB-328 Wrist Auto Inflate Blood Pressure Monitor

LifeSource is part of A&D Medical, a leading manufacturer of home-use and professional electronic healthcare equipment. Its UB-328 model is one of its most popular blood pressure monitors.

Unfortunately, it is seldom possible to find objective reviews of blood pressure monitors on the internet.

An excellent background resource is “Home Blood Pressure Monitoring: A Technology That Has Come of Age,” an article on the US Pharmacist website:

The home blood pressure monitor market is flooded with a multitude of manufacturers offering closely competitive products. These products continue to change with respect to their complexity, variety of functions, and cost. Accuracy should be the primary goal for device selection. The number of products available to patients can understandably cause confusion and an opportunity for the pharmacist to provide knowledgeable information to the buyer. Internet-based medical device retailers are another common venue for purchasing a monitor. Data gathered by Information Resources, Inc showed that at least 65% of the home blood pressure monitors in the US are sold by Omron Healthcare Corporation.34 Other popular device manufacturers include A&D Medical/LifeSource, Lumiscope, Mark of Fitness, Panasonic, and Samsung. All are producing high-quality, clinically tested monitors.

The LifeSource corporate website has a considerable amount of detail on the UB-328 blood pressure monitor. Here is an excerpt:

The Wrist Auto-Inflation unit is activated with the push of a single button. The large display simultaneously shows systolic, diastolic and pulse readings. The automatic memory keeps your last 30 blood pressure measurements close at hand.

This monitor stores the last 30 readings in memory and displays average readings. The average reading feature automatically calculates the "average" of the total readings stored in memory. The UB-328 also has a unique Irregular Heartbeat feature. This monitor provides blood pressure and pulse rate measurements even when an Irregular Heartbeat occurs. A rigid carrying case is included to protect the monitor when not in use.

The website also has an extensive amount of detail on using a blood pressure monitor, including for weight management.
