Logging in... There was a time when you could sit down at the pharmacy blood pressure machine and check your pressure by pressing one button... START That's it. One button and wait for the results. Old technology. Now you have to log in giving personal information for them to keep on file. I say BS. There are USB ports and SD memory slots for transferring and saving data. Again... BS. It took several attempts but I was actually able to 'work around' the menu into accepting that I wasn't going to enter my personal information... actually, I think I did give it some bogus information (age, height, weight) but pressure is pressure. Right? All the other machines prior to this checked pressure. Height weight or age wasn't important to the machine. Pressure is pressure. Analyzing pressure to height weight or age is different... The machines that check pressure are the same... Pressure is pressure regardless of height, weight or age. 180 over 110 is considered high pressure and it doesn't matter your height, weight or age. Sure there are other factors, but pressure is pressure. Seriously... this has gone too far with machines that want to keep my personal information. Just check my pressure and (let me) have a nice day. |

"The old machines that calculated blood pressure and heart rate were more than sufficient." Agree. All the people who check my pressure do it with 'mercury'.
