A member asked:
My pulse rate is low on pulse oximeter but different on my blood pressure cuff which is normal and has better accuracy?

Pulse accuracy: It is said that a man who has one clock knows what time it is. But if you have two clocks and you do not.;-) I would check your pulse rate by feeling your pulse and counting for 60 seconds with each device several times until you decide which one is the most accurate. Then use that one. There are some apps that will help you to count accurately.
