Jim Waiting for mine. The last 5 years saw a smiliar machine that was much easier to use and it downloaded a weeks BP readings into patient medical records (was compatable with all EHR systems). The reports were so easy to understand that even the patients enjoyed looking at the reports to see how they are progressing. Was poorly promoted, and service been partly put on hold. Hopefully will be restarted again.

And I can do more per consult too. Second best toy is my new BP freebie via hbprca, anyone else received one of these?
