Records Irregular Hearbeat
We had previously bought the Prevention wrist monitor and arm cuff monitor, and they are both great except for two drawbacks, both of which the Lumiscope 1134 corrects. It records irregular heartbeat in its memory banks, and it is supposed to connect to a PC via USB to copy its memory records automatically, including irregular heartbeats - a function that we would find very convenient and time-saving.
When we bought the Prevention monitors we had assumed that if it detected an irregular heartbeat that it would record it in memory. Nope! But the Lumiscope does, and at a lesser price.
More Accurate and More Features
The Lumiscope seems more accurate to us, as it deflates more slowly, giving about 4 - 5 heartbeats per 10-digit drop. This is opposed to the Prevention getting usually 2 or occasionally 3. So the lumiscope is more accurate by a few points.
The LS 1134 also functions as a clock and an alarm, which is handy, and stores more info - up to 99 recordings in EACH of 4 memory or user banks - that's a total of 396 - far more than others! The Preventions both have 2 banks with 30 each recordings - and do NOT store irregular heartbeats. Another plus is the large arm cuff, which goes over 18". Very convenient.
USB PC connection and software NOT included
Some people have the impression that a USB PC connection and software come with it, but it does NOT. We have researched Lumiscope's website and have not found a mention of it. We will continue to research this and will report back our findings.
Quality Product at a Great Price
Overall, we are very impressed with the quality, build, versatility and functionality. This monitor is a great product for the money. The large display and other helpful features (Irregular heartbeat monitor, Low/High BPM, memory) takes the hassle and frustration out of monitoring caused by an unreliable/troublesome monitor.
