Have had good results for a number of electronic appliances repaired at Amorn, although not sure if they service medical equipment. Amorn is located in the ground floor of "old" Big C. May be call for info: 222 438-9

Alternatively, you can check with a medical equipment supplier.

REPAIR Blood pressure monitor
I had a Mircolife Blood presure monitor back in the states that started malfunctioning. I contacted Microlife Customer Service that was listed on the Unit and they had me try several things that did not work. They sent me a replacement monitor because the monitor was still under warranty and I returned the defective unit to Microlife. They were very good to deal with. Check with Microlife your monitor may be still under warranty.

Although I agree that the Amorn shop is good for repairing electronics it's the calibrating that you need to be bang on with.
I tried a few similar repair stores in BKK some time back when my first BP monitor ceased to work and they all responded they couldn't calibrate medical equipment. The only medical suppliers I found then didn't do repair/calibration and had no recommendations, just wanted to sell me a new hospital style unit.
Decided to buy a new monitor instead of repair, decent units only £50, I bought the one I use now on eBay, an Omron and I take it to the quack with me for comparison when I do my yearly MOT. so far so good.
A friend bought a new unit last year in Boots in BKK, maybe they have them in Boots, Central Plaza.

REPAIR Blood pressure monitor
The only place that could do a recalibration , would be the bio medical department of the major hospitals in Udon.
Its got to be recalibrated to a mercury unit, as BP is measured in mmHg .
Did my thesis on the reliability of BP units , both electronic and manual devices in the pre hospital care environment ( ambulances, helicopters, retrieval planes and in patients homes ) and they don't handle being moved , dropped etc
Can be out by up to 25% !! and that's scary,
If I was having my BP done in a clinical setting I would be looking for the calibration sticker, and the date,
Normally done every 6 months maximum.
If a hospital uses an electronic unit and then tells you , ur Hyper or Hypotensive , ask for a manual reading, on your left arm and see the result !

REPAIR (DONE ) Blood pressure monitor
The unit had been purchased at Makro UD… On the original box they had the name of the distributor. (Samaphan Health Co.,Ltd. ) . I emailed them and the very next day I had a reply from Miss Nattida Winaikulnirat , instructing me to return the unit.. She then asked for 100 Baht for return postage.
This morning I got my Microlife BPM , cleaned and with a new arm band, free of charge, within 3 weeks, despite being SONGKRAN… Great..
Ms Nattida Winaikulnirat services were excellent..
