With an extra display, large buttons for easy operation and AC Power Adapter, this monitor offers speed, reliability and convenience to an untapped market segment.
Featuring a cuff that wraps around larger arms, the LifeSource Advanced Blood Pressure Monitor with AccuFit Extra Large Cuff allows you to quickly and accurately measure your pulse and blood pressure. This monitor alerts you if you have an irregular heartbeat and filters out ambient noise for a precise reading. The monitor comes with a large, easy to read display and is simple to use.
AccuFit Cuff Fits Large Arms
Cuffs that are too small or too large will result in inaccurate readings. This AccuFit Extra Large Cuff has been specially created to fit arms ranging from 16-1/2 to 23-3/5 inches around, making it ideal for large arms. Ideal for body builders, weight lifters, football players and bariatric patients, the cuff is cone shaped to give the user a better fit. Created for comfort and accuracy, the latex-free band snugly surrounds the arm to ensure an accurate reading. This monitor can also use the regular Lifesource cuffs in small, medium and large.
High Performance Monitor Delivers Accurate Readings
Offering speed, reliability, and convenience, the LifeSource Advanced Blood Pressure Monitor allows you to keep tabs on your heart at home with accurate measurements. This monitor's blood pressure measurements are comparable to readings taken using the cuff/stethoscope auscultation method, within the limits of the American National Standards Institute (ANSI), which assures the safety and health of consumers.
Keeps Track of Your Readings
To keep track of your progress, the LifeSource Advanced Blood Pressure Monitor stores up to 60 measurements. Its time and date stamp makes it easy to look back over previous readings to detect any patterns.
Easy-to-Use Screen Simplifies Reading to Eliminate Guesswork
With an extra-large display and an illuminated start button, the blood pressure monitor is easy to operate and understand. The monitor features a Pressure Rating Indicator that eliminates guesswork by indicating whether your blood pressure is high, low, or normal.
While a trained professional should always interpret your blood pressure measurements, this monitor provides an easy way for you to see your pulse and blood pressure levels and understand how the numbers compare.
Irregular Heartbeat Detection
The LifeSource monitor also displays a symbol to alert you when your heartbeat is irregular. Plus, even when your heartbeat is irregular, the monitor will provide an accurate blood pressure and pulse rate reading.
With HeartWise technology, this monitor also automatically detects proper inflation and filters out ambient noise on deflation for a clear, accurate reading.
Runs on Batteries or AC Adapter
When you are at home, you can plug your monitor into the wall to conserve battery life with the included AC adapter. Conveniently, you can also measure your blood pressure when you're on the go, thanks to its battery power option. The monitor runs on four AA batteries (not included).

Accruate large cuff blood pressure monitor,
I bought this product after a good amount of research among leading manufacturers of home blood pressure monitors including Omron and Microlife. I also currently own an Omrom and wasn’t particularly impressed with the accuracy of the readings.
The BHS (British Hypertensive Society) publishes ratings and I carefully evaluated the ones that received the highest A/A rating as well as some of the newer offerings from these manufacturers that hadn’t as yet been rated.
I went with this product primarily because it seems to be the only one with the extra large cuff (also offers a regular cuff option UA-280) and seemed accurate. After having had it for some time now I couldn’t be more pleased. Readings are quick, machine is quiet and most important very consistent and accurate.
Highly recommend this monitor.

Accurate, Quick, and Simple,
The LifeSource UA-789 Blood Pressure Monitor was purchased to replace an aging household monitor. However, I did use both just to compare the readings. Both had very similar readings and since my previous monitor was always well trusted I would consider the UA-789 to be accurate. A couple of household members also compared the readings before or after doctor checkups. Again, the UA-789 performed very well and had comparable readings to the doctor offices.
This particular model is one of the few that come with an extra large cuff. The extra large cuff comes in handy, but since this particular monitor was going to be used by several people I also purchased the LifeSource UA-281 Blood Pressure Monitor Cuff, Large (14.2″ – 17.7″). Interchanging the large and extra large cuff is quick and simple. No hassles at all.
The unit is fairly quiet, although not the quietest on the market. It tends to be very quick, but there are times where it takes a little extra time to get a reading (this could be user error in the fitting of the cuff to the arm). The numbers on the screen are large and it also shows a graph (with a red, yellow, and green area) that indicates where the blood pressure is high or low.
You have the option of using the included power cord or batteries with this unit. I tend to just use the power cord and it works like a charm. Overall, this was a great purchase and recommended to anyone.
UPDATE 1/2/2010: Over a year later and the LifeSource UA-789 is still performing above and beyond. Readings have been very accurate compared to visits to the doctor office (a little time difference of course from the office to heading home and using the UA-789, but the readings are very close). The monitor still performs like it is new with fairly quiet operation. This was a very wise purchase and will remain in the household for much longer. Still a recommended purchase!

Largest cuff on an automatic monitor,
I bought this product because it was the only automatic monitor with a cuff this big that I could find. It works well.
