I purchased a b/p monitor that is the only one offered using my (b)(6) healthcare over the counter dollars offered each month.
The product smarttheart, model 01-539.
This consistently gives 15-20 systolic and 10 point diastolic readings.
This is verified by using another's product as well as having my son, who is a pt take the monitor to work and using this to take 8 other therapists b/p, and comparing them with department monitors.
I have called my insurance who sent a replacement, the replacement has the same problem.
This should be further explored and possibly taken off the market; smartheart.
Fda safety report id # (b)(4).
