Lumiscope Blood Pressure Monitors

Lumiscope is a leading supplier of blood pressure monitors. Its website offers considerable detail on all its products, along with a report that covers the benefits of home blood pressure monitoring and some guidelines for home monitoring.

For home users it currently offers five upper-arm units and two wrist models. They are:

Upper Arm Models

* 1100 Digital Upper Arm Blood Pressure and Pulse Monitor, Semi-Auto Inflation

* 1130 Digital Upper Arm Blood Pressure and Pulse Monitor, Auto Inflation

* 1131 Digital Upper Arm Blood Pressure and Pulse Monitor with Quick Read Auto and Smart Inflate

* 1134 Deluxe Fully Automatic Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor with Irregular Heartbeat Detection (picture)

* 1157 Upper Arm, Deluxe Automatic Inflation Digital Blood Pressure Monitor

Wrist Models

* 1140 Digital Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with Auto Inflation and Smart Deflation

* 1145 Talking Wrist Style Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor

Lumiscope was one of half-a-dozen companies rated as "producing high-quality, clinically tested monitors" in an excellent article in US Pharmacist journal titled "Home Blood Pressure Monitoring - A Technology That Has Come of Age".

Otherwise, however, it is difficult to find online objective and independent evaluations of the company and its products. For most potential buyers, the best guidance will be the consumer reviews at sales sites like Amazon.com. These are hardly scientific, but they often provide valuable insights into how well (or badly) a product actually works in a real home setting.

Thus, a reviewer named "Stressed Out Prof" writes of the Lumiscope 1130 Digital Upper Arm Blood Pressure:

The price is fabulous, and the machine works wonderfully. I was advised by my doctor to check my blood pressure on a regular basis, so I decided to purchase a machine. Most of the other monitors that I saw online cost quite a bit of money. I was skeptical about this unit, but once I received it my worries were alleviated. I brought the monitor to my doctor's office to have it calibrated and it took the same reading that my doctor took using her cuff and stethoscope. The ability to store 60 different readings is wonderful. This is a great and affordable blood pressure monitor.
