Wondering if people have a recommendation for a talking blood pressure
monitor. My client has tried a few that act like they are going to work, but
then have "errors". Is this common, or could it be operator error? Thanks
for any ideas.

That is the one I like as well…it can also be ordered from LS&S. www.LSSproducts.com http://www.LSSproducts.com
It will give an error if the cuff has not been applied appropriately. The unit does require placement on the left arm. I had one client that had issues with lymphedema in her left arm that precluded usage – would be similar issue if someone is a dialysis patient and had their access site on their left arm. Appears to be very accurate – I always suggest that they take the device into their medical provider and do a reading on it to compare what the staff recorded at the time of appointment. The irregular heart beat detection feature was one that I had not paid attention too until I was working with a client and that was detected – surprised me, but old news to the client as he was aware of his irregular heart beat history. If someone has to take frequent readings, I work with the client to locate a suitable place where the device can use the AC adapter and location provides the necessary seating/arm placement requirements.

I used one bought from maxi-aids that was World Health Organization approved which proved inaccurate and now I use one from Independent Living
Aids which although accurate, does seem to have a lot of errors where I have to repeat the check. If I used it every day, I would find this extremely irritating. I haven't replaced it yet because I don't use it that often and if I buy a new one, I would probably have to buy an extra cuff because if you need a large or a child's size cuff, you have to purchase it separately. I'd consider the wrist monitors but heard that they are not as accurate. Is this still true?
