Amazon.com Product Description

Wrist blood pressure monitors are portable, accurate and simple to use. They provide a convenient choice for those who want a second unit for away from home or who have trouble placing a cuff on their arm. The Omron HEM-670IT Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor uses Omron's patented IntelliSense technology, which inflates the wrist cuff to the ideal level with each use and offers fast, personalized, and automatic inflation for maximum comfort. No adjustments are required to select an inflation level--especially convenient for hypertensive users and for people with certain arrhythmia or heart disorders, because their blood pressure is more likely to fluctuate. And with the HEM-670IT's 100-memory recall with date and time stamp, as well as averaging capabilities for the last three readings, you can track your blood pressure and pulse progress as your work towards a healthier lifestyle. The HEM-670IT also features a system that detects an irregular heartbeat as well as morning hypertension, giving you an even better understanding of your heart's health. A built-in hypertension indicator lets you know if your readings indicate a high-blood pressure condition. Plus, you'll have additional peace of mind knowing that the HEM-670IT comes with a 5-year warranty.
Because the HEM-670IT has a wrist cuff, it is particularly helpful if you have a larger than average sized arm. The monitor fits those with a wrist size of 5.25 to 8.5 inches, and it ensures easier and more comfortable use. Note, however, that a wrist monitor does require proper positioning of the device at the heart level. Correct cuff positioning is critical when monitoring blood pressure, fortunately, the HEM-670IT features an advanced positioning sensor that automatically confirms that the cuff is level with the user's heart, thereby ensuring an accurate reading.
It is critical that when using a blood pressure monitor the cuff is the appropriate size and is properly applied. An ill-fitting cuff or an incorrectly-applied cuff can result in inaccurate readings. Consult your doctor or the included instructions for the proper application of the cuff.


The included Omron Health Management Software provides a blood pressure and pulse graph that lets you see how your values are trending over time. View larger.

 "Don't Bother!" 2010-03-23
By Lori J. Lean (East Bethel, MN, USA)
This monitor is wildly inconsistent. I compared it a number of times with on-site blood pressure monitors, and it was never even close. It was always way high or way low, while the on-site blood pressure monitors were always within a few points of one another.

 "Great device" 2010-03-21
By John Benskin (FLORIDA)
This was a great purchase. I am glad that I chose this meter. I like the computer print out.

 "Husband saw mine, had to have one too." 2010-03-13
By Eillib/R & the Triplet's Grandma (California)
Been using this one for over a year now. I had an earlier version that did not download the data to the computer. I replaced it with this one and gave my old one to my husband. Once he saw what the new one did, he wanted one too. (The old one was passed along to a relative).






The device seems to be pretty accurate, but I have had an infrequent oddball reading. I have taken it to doctor's offices and it seems to be right on the mark.





The charts are an easy way for doctor's to quickly scan the data, much easier than looking at all the raw data points.





My one complaint is with the software - wish it had more options for displaying data. Supposedly there is a way to ignore certain data points, but for me, it only works when printing out raw data and not on charts. (i.e. If I have taken three readings in a few minutes time, I would like only one reading to count, not all three.) Using all three skews the results. There is a way to set the unit so that it will average several readings taken within a short period of time.





I do enjoy not spending the evening before a doctor's appointment entering by hand all of my blood pressure readings. The unit is sturdy - it has taken lots of abuse from me. Batteries are easily replaced.

 "Omron Blood Pressure Monitor" 2010-03-07

Excellent Product. This replaces an Omron Monitor that I had for several years.



The technology is superb. The only reason that for replacement was this


newer technology. I highly recommend this product.

 "So far, so good" 2010-03-02
By Connie Gallant (SEATTLE, WA USA)
I've had this monitor for 2 weeks, checking my blood pressure twice daily (morning/evenings) and I find it is very accurate. I took it to my doctor's office to compare it with the office's arm cuff monitor and it was right on. The previous Omron monitor I owned (no longer being made) was not accurate at all, much to my dismay after I had it checked.





This monitor is very easy to understand and use. My only disappointment with it was when I installed the software to my computer, I noticed that the readings/memory can only be saved for 1 person at a time, not 2 (like the more expensive arm cuff monitor). Thus, if I want my husband to monitor his blood pressure so that we can keep track of it, we'd have to take turns every other week and select his name instead of mine when downloading information from monitor. For historical tracking, we can save the weekly download files on a .csv format for each one of us.





Both monitor and software are easy to use. I would recommend this monitor to my family and friends.
