Button or one button, look on Amazon, you can generally find everything you ever need there

Bought our latest Omron from amazon.

E.T.A.

Not sure what a "button" BP monitor means, but our Omron has only 1 button to push to take your BP. We have one that goes on the wrist and it is as accurate as the ones in the hospital rooms and ER and everyone else that has taken my BP thousands of times over the years.

Thanks, hckynut. I just ordered the Omron comfort Fit!!! And, just had the ankle and heel x-rayed to day. Some good days, some bad days. Maybe we'll get this resolved too!!

Never heard of the Comfort Fit but if it is made by Omron it should be a good one. We have had 2 of them for well over 25 years now, the present one is probably at least 12 years old. Had to put battery(s)in it once I think and that is about it. Hope it works out well for you.

Did they give you the results of your x-rays? I usually get x-ray results before I leave the hospital. CAT Scans and MRI's usually takes at least a day for results for me. Hoping you have more good days than bad ones.

Local pharmacy and its free if you have insurance. This is covered by most insurance companies if your Dr writes it up right.

I agree that your insurance will cover this expense. The VA provided a blood pressure monitor for my husband.

Not sure what a "button" B/P cuff is, but I've had my Omron wrist monitor for years and have no reason to question its accuracy. My upper arms are rather thin and I've always had difficulty taking my pressure until I started using a wrist monitor.

Received my button cuff blood pressure cuff this week from Amazon. It's so easy to use I can't believe it. I've been charting pressure and pulse at different times of day and night to see patterns. My doctor wants to see me and it in two weeks to calibrate my device. Should be interesting.
