Customer Reviews of Lumiscope 100-019 Manual BP Monitor with Stethoscope
Customer Review: Good deal. Has a bit of learning curve though
Summary: 5 Stars
This is basically a run of the mill analog BP monitor. Like the one that most doctors use.
It is not really meant to be easy to use, but unlike the cheap digital BP monitors that
can give completely wrong readings, for the price I paid, this one gives consistent
readings. There is a bit of a learning curve though. Now I am pretty comfortable with it
it. The instructions are not very good. So I went to the web and found better
instructions. If you are willing to learn how to use it, which might take a couple of days,
I think this is a good buy. Amazon's price was good and they shipped it instantaneously

Summary: 2 Stars
After 4 months of limited useage in an EMS course the Lumiiscope failed entirely on me. I can't say it was the same model (the model isn't printed on the thing)but ...it was a close model. It is not one that I want to rely on however.
The model I have was never used over 20 times. Then one day I tried to take a BP and it choked above 40....then suddenly sprang to 300 and the proverbial "ping" occured. It decided after that everything was 120!~
I'm saving the cuff...but ..I really don't want to go back to that day when I had to rely on it.

Customer Review: What a bummer.
Summary: 1 Stars
What a bummer. I bought this for a gift for a patient of mine where I volunteer here in Uganda, Africa, and had a friend bring it over. It reads about 20 points below zero with no pressure. It needs calibration straight out of the box. The $5.00 cost to send it in for recalibrating is no help from Afirca, and the poor baseline calibration took all the joy our of giving my patient a self empowering gift, as well as all the value. A total waste of $20.00 There is no way for the user to self calibrate, so all i can do is tell my patient to subtract 20 from his readings. Very dissatisfying.Customer Review: For the price range, best thing I've found
Summary: 4 Stars
As far as the price goes, this BP moniter is not bad. It was 25 bucks Canadian, at least for me, and does what it's told. Unfortunately, I don't know how to get proper readings, but I just use it for fun. The stethoscope is the main reason I bought it, as I can't seem to find any that don't come with BP moniters. The steth's ear pieces are uncomfortable, but you get used to it. Anyways, the stethoscope made it worth it, and I have the moniter around to use sometimes when I get bored. Worth the money, to me for sure.Customer Review: Monitor
Summary: 3 Stars
Used a Lumiscope monitor made in Germany for over a decade and have had three "Made in China" replacements that last a month. I hoped Lumiscope would still be the same as it was, but unfortunately, it's Chinese as well. This is somewhat better than anything else out there, but the Chinese Velcro doesn't hold as well as it should. Time will tell.
