BP apparatus.

Personal experience. I got told by my doctor in the States to go buy one. I bought 4, and took them to the doctor's office. With the nurse, we checked out all 4 of these units and they all showed different numbers, there seemed be no calibration available.

When checked against the mercury, none of them matched.

I returned all 4 and bought 2 new ones (real high end units), again same thing. So decided not be a hypocondriac and measure it myself, just leave it to the doctors.

In short, please have your unit checked against a standard that is used in the clinics. It if matches (or very close to it) then keep it.
