Hello Jim,

I had wondered the exact same thing about my Auto BP device. It was off by 20mm verses Manual Readings.

So to my bewilderment, I never knew there were soo many BP devices out there! Even more ridiculous was the various models and prices from the same manufacturer!

I turned to Consumer Affairs for the answers. I've found that Microlife Model BP3MC1-PC was rated 91% accurate. There was one other brand that was 92% accurate.

I settled for 91% and purchased it new on eBay for a great price!

I have had them, and I found them to be very accurate. I took it to my docs, and they measured it with theirs and it was right on target.

I have an omron and mine is accurate. I had my EP check it when I got it and the readings matched with the reading she did in her office. My EP is the one who suggested  I get one of these monitors.
