Years ago, about  10 years ago, possibly as much as 14 years ago I bought a Mabis digital Blood Pressure Monitor for my husband. Model 04-206-001. We have been very pleased w/it w/absolutley no complaints or problems until this morning. It builds up to about 160-170 diastolic and then falls flat on its face and displays an Error 3 message.

After changing batteries twice I called Mabis. The Rep was very pleasant and courteous and told me that BP monitor has a lifetime guarantee!!! Send Mabis my name and address and BP monitor model number along w/a FIVE dollar check or money order and they will replace it w/a new, current, equivalent model!!!!!! Say what? Lifetime guarantee?? I thought they went out w/Noah's ark and the great flood!

Hurrah for Mabis!!! I wonder if they still offer life time guarantees w/their current models?

The thing I liked most about this digital BP monitor was that there was no "bulb" to pump the sleeve up. My hand always gave out before I got the pressure high enough on my hubby's original BP monitor.
