LifeSource UA-853 Premium Automatic AM/PM Blood Pressure Machine (Medium or Large Cuffs)

The UA-853AC is equipped with our new AM/PM TimeWise™ Tracking Technology, Pressure Rating Indicator™, Irregular Heartbeat Detection, three programmable alarms, 90 memory, time and date features.

LifeSource® is yet again first-to-market with an innovative new blood pressure monitor. Launched last July, the UA-853 features a unique departure from current monitors on store shelves today, blending form and function by housing the industry’s most advanced technology in a clean, sleek and contemporary table top design.

The UA-853 is a revolutionary Premium Blood Pressure Monitor and introduces to the market the new AM/PM TimeWise™ Tracking Technology, which automatically categorizes and averages each reading as AM or PM.

The UA-853 also features the LifeSource® exclusive Pressure Rating Indicator™, which takes the guesswork out of blood pressure measurements by color coding each reading according to the JNC7 guidelines, and Irregular Heartbeat Detection, which will provide users with an accurate blood pressure reading even if an irregular heartbeat is detected. Along with a 90 reading memory capacity, three programmable alarms, and a lifetime warranty on both the cuff and monitor, the UA-853 is truly an innovative and stylish new approach to blood pressure monitoring.

My reading seems high. Is something wrong with the monitor?
Your cuff might be too small for you or on too tight. A cuff that is too small yields a measurement that is higher than the correct blood pressure. Be sure to check that you are using the correct cuff size before taking your blood pressure. Please reference the section called “Select the correct cuff” in the instruction manual or see Question 4 to determine your correct cuff size. If your measurements still seem high, please consult your physician.

Why do my blood pressure readings vary so much during the day?
An individual’s blood pressure varies greatly from day to day and season to season. Normally, blood pressure rises during work or play and falls to its lowest levels during sleep. The best way to get consistent readings is to monitor your blood pressure at least once a day, at the same time so that you can minimize the effect that external factors have on the reading.

Also please be sure to consult your physician immediately if you have any doubt about your readings. Should a mechanical problem occur, contact LifeSource.

Using the correct size is important for an accurate reading. With your arm hanging at the side of your body, measure the circumference of your upper arm at the midpoint between shoulder and elbow. Based on that information, you can determine what size cuff would work for you using the chart below (also available in the instruction manual):

Small Cuff 6.3 – 9.4” (16-24cm)
Medium Cuff 9.4 – 14.2” (24 – 36cm)
Large Cuff 14.2 – 17.7” (26 – 45cm)
Extra Large Cuff 16.5-23.6” (42 – 60cm)
Also please be sure to consult your physician immediately if you have any doubt about your readings. Should a mechanical problem occur, contact LifeSource.
