Customer Reviews of Wristech Blood pressure monitor
Customer Review: Totally defective and non-reliable
Summary: 1 Stars
Bought one at Menards to monitor my BP. Next morning BP 198/110, so paid visit to my doctor ($120), where BP was 136/80 (my normal). That day, repeatedly compared readings of Writech with other machines and used different positions and different arms. Results showed usual readings 20 or so higher, with occasional readings out of sight. So returned to Menards and talked to manager, and showed him the high readings on the memory. Next week I noticed Menards had resolved the problem by reducing the price to just $12. Well, at the price I thought I would give it a second chance. This one worse then the first. Again, checked machine on different arms in different locations on wrist with different cuff machines and even again at my doctors office. Again, usually at least 20 higher on the systolic. The pulses seem accurate though on both machines. A number of times got systolic readings over 200, one being 252, which would have been get to the emergency room if I had not known the unit was probably defective. Again returned to Menards and talked to manager and explained the problem. As these are a health care monitoring device, and not just some hand tool, I asked the manager to remove the defective stock from the floor and not just reduce the price to $12 to get them off the floor. He refused and instead ordered me out of the store and called the police to have me arrested. So now I have carried on a small campaign with a few friends outside Menards using a bullhorn and some signs asking that they remove the defective junk and not just offer it for sale at a discount to unsuspecting buyers. Menards manager insists unit is accurate, but will not test one himself, just refures to the corporate office in Wisconsin. The head office states they have refered the problem to the (un-named) Chinese manufacturer. Of course, these machines are probably produced in some sweat shop dingy factory where the workers get a buck an hour and bust their backs for 10-12 hours a day, 6 days a week. No real quality control, other then maybe seeing occasionally that the batteries work and the screen lights up. No way of course to even contact the Chinese manufacturer as just listed as "made in China." If the units turn out defective, the manufacturer will just sell that production equipment to the next small operator who will produce the same defective unit under a new brand name.
Bottom line, totally defective and even dangerous. The high readings are painful to the wrist and could result in an unnecessary doctors visit by a frightened senior citizen. Although I have not been able to get a low reading, if the unit is defective one way there could be some defective the low way as well, in which case it would result in not catching a problem and not visiting a doctor and result in a stroke or even a death. As a sometimes litigator, I certainly would not want that type of product liability hanging over my corporate head. Menards should dump this junk in the trash can where it belongs.
