As a home dialysis patient my husband needs a very reliable and accurate blood pressure monitor to keep track of his blood pressure readings every half hour during treatments. We talked to his doctors and nurses and they recommended the Relion blood pressure monitor. After doing research on it, this is the one we chose. We are very happy with our choice. We get very accurate readings and it is very easy to use. You can put the cuff on and you just need to push a button to turn it on and a button to start the reading. Very easy! This allows my husband to do the monitoring himself. It also allows his hands to be free to write on his charts. It also monitors the pulse which is a number he needs for his charts. It has battery back up so it can be unplugged. If you need a very reliable and accurate blood pressure monitor the Relion monitor fits the bill. I would recommend it to anyone looking for an easy to use blood pressure monitor.

Before buying the Relion 741CREL, I had never owned a blood pressure moniter. But after a family member of mine ended up in the hospital because of high blood pressure, I wanted to get one right away. This unit makes it easy. It comes with the monitor, an arm cuff and an AC adapter. I found it easy to use out of the box, but if you need help, it also comes with a manual. It also takes four AA batteries to help store past numbers, up to fifteen in total. At first, I did have some trouble trying to get numbers. But it's so easy to use, most often it's due to human error anyway. For example, the cuff needs to be tight (but not too tight, of course) on the arm. Also, placement is key. It's in the right place if, when you curl your forearm up, the bottom of the cuff is right in the pit of your elbow. Also, if the person's blood pressure is fairly high, you have to press and hold the "Start" button accordingly to get a reading. In the end, a great unit and very reliable!
