calibrated with Drs and it's a match!

September 21, 2018

My BP is all over the chart, I have trouble with keeping it high enough
that I don't pass out! Every time I feel dizzy I take my BP and when I go
to drs I bring it and he can adjust my meds accordingly!
Easy to you, put it on wrist and press button and wait! Simple

This monitor is easy to use

February 18, 2018

I bought this several weeks ago. I do home health care. I depend on my equipment's accuracy for my patient's wellbeing.
This monitor is easy to use. Its heart rate monitor is accurate.
However, the BP function is WAY Off. It's always at least 10 points higher than a manual read and often much higher.
If I went by the readout on this monitor, every patient I see would end up in the hospital unnecessarily.
Unfortunately, I don't believe there's any way to calibrate this monitor.
If you need accuracy, which everyone does when monitoring vital signs, opt for something else.

Easy to use and read the display--and Doctor's Office Accurate!!

June 6, 2018

This blood pressure monitor for the wrist is very easy to use, and extremely accurate. My previous monitor was all over the place for the readings, but this one is spot on! I tried it at the doctor's office following their wall-blood pressure monitor, and it was an exact match. The CareTouch automatically saves the readings in a history. It's comfortable--it doesn't pinch or "smash" your wrist when it's measuring. Also, I have quite a small wrist and it fits just fine. Love the nice storage case too, and the large, easy to read display.

Follow Directions and You'll be Happy

May 30, 2018

This is neat little gadget. Love the little carry bag also. However, it is a bit too small for my husband's large wrist so the accuracy is off a bit on him. We had a nurse come and show us just how to use it; which made a big difference. If you don't follow directions exactly you could get a misread. It was fairly simple to set up and easy to use. You must turn your wrist up towards the ceiling, and best if you prop your arm at chest (heart) level making sure to keep your wrist turned up. I didn't know this the first time. If you have a rather large wrist, this might not work as well since it can't fit the way it's designed to fit. Therefore, we have to return it for that reason alone.

Best Product in this Class - BY FAR!

Super awesome product at a very fair price. Phenomenal customer service (they contacted me proactively to make sure I was pleased). Easy to use and (I think) quite accurate. I'll see the doctor this week to be sure I am getting accurate measurements and I hope I am because I appear to be in super health! :-)

The Care Touch Wrist Blood Pressure monitor was very affordable and is of good quality. I would recommend this product

Purchased the wrist bp machine for my husband when he was surprised with the diagnosis of high bp. It arrived promptly; he uses it every day for now so he's much less worried about it. He did say that depending on where he placed it made a difference in readings, so he is now following instructions to the T. The Care Touch Wrist Blood Pressure monitor was very affordable and is of good quality.
I would recommend this product.

BEST home BP monitor I have used!

April 22, 2018

Verified Purchase

This is the best home BP monitor I have used! So much simpler to use than the cuffs that go around the upper arm, and are difficult to position properly by yourself. I bought this because my arm cuff was reading too high compared to my doctor's office as well as the cuffs I would use at the drug store or Walmart, which were all consistent with each other. This one is much closer to those, and gives me peace of mind that my BP meds are working well. It is easy, quick and painless. Just follow the simple directions and make sure the cuff is at the level of your heart--that's easy to do if you rest your elbow on the desk or table in front of you and hold your had with the palm facing you so the cuff is positioned half-way between your elbow and your shoulder. Batteries seem to last a long time--I have had it about a month, am using it daily and am still on the same batteries that came with it. Very, very pleased with this purchase.

I like this purchase!

I am very happy with this wrist blood pressure cuff, which cost about 1/3 of the price of an Omron wrist blood pressure cuff that I bought at a drugstore and returned because it was inaccurate. I have compared the readings taken with my new Care Touch cuff with readings I got at two different doctors' offices (both of which used arm cuffs w stethoscopes for measuring) and both sets of doctor's office readings were within a few points of the readings (both systolic and diastolic) I got with my Care Touch wrist monitor.

Solid, easy to use, accurate, small, quick, quiet... what's not to love?

February 6, 2018

I did a lot of research before choosing this product. I love it! It comes in a great little case, it takes up very little space, comes with batteries, is nicely lit, is NOT noisy, works like a champ, is fairly quick... what's not to love? It's a great product! I especially love how it automatically saves your BP reading and has a memory for 60 readings! I sometimes take my BP when I don't have my phone near me to enter the data into my app. So it is super handy to just hit the MEM button and it gives me my most recent reading. It looks good, is lightweight but not chintzy. If you are considering buying a wrist BP monitor, this is a great choice!

This'll Not Raise Your BP!

Really good reliable wrist blood pressure cuff. It's easy to use, uses regular batteries that are easily obtainable (instead of some funky weird size I'd have to special order). I like the memory function. I take it to my doctor's office to see how it worked with theirs and it was Pretty Damn Close! It's hard to get a good reading on the wrist but this one... worked great. Just have your physician check it out and see if you're using it properly, that's all I can recommend. The thing comes with instructions but you know people don't always read the how-to... so... it's great for checking daily!

Great product great customer service!!

September 7, 2017

Update. The customer service is great and this blood pressure cuff seems to be working just fine. As you can see from the original post I had issues with the first one. I was actually contacted by their customer service which is rare for any company I didn't not reach out to them. They asked how can we make this better so we agreed they would send me another one to try and it has been working great every since. They deserve the updated review for their customer service and a great product that they fully stood behind!! I am leaving the original post in here to show what my original complaint was and this is not a made up bought BS review.

One of many I tried was never accurate for me. Compared to the doctors office it was high. When done by nurse at the doctors office I was always between 120-130 over 80-85 with this it was always 135-155 over 90-95 on both of my wrist. I got worried for no reason. Doctors office says its not accurate. At least this one was not. Got the upper arm version and it is almost identical to the readings from the doctor. The wrist ones I tried were never accurate for me.
