Many people have high blood pressure for years without knowing it, because there are usually no symptoms. Once you begin to manage it and start a treatment program, maintaining a lower, healthier blood pressure is easier and will reduce your risk of stroke, heart attack, heart failure and kidney failure.
Only Omron brand products use IntelliSense® technology to automatically determine the correct amount of pressure required to quickly and comfortably take your blood pressure reading. The result is accurate measurements every time.

To take an accurate reading, first position the green marker directly over the artery on the inside of your arm.


Next, place your arm on a table so the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart.
Instructions for Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors
There are several easy steps to taking your blood pressure with this monitor. First of all, avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm, and sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Slide your left arm through the cuff and position the cuff approximately 0.5-inches above the elbow. On the cuff you'll notice a green marker; position this marker directly over the artery on the inside of your arm. Next, secure the cuff with the Velcro material. The cuff should make direct contact with your skin, but you should be able to easily fit your index finger between the cuff and your arm.
Place your arm on a table so that the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart. Rest comfortably in a relaxed environment for at least 15 minutes prior to taking your blood pressure measurement. Once you feel relaxed, simply press the start button and remain still. The cuff will begin to inflate and numbers will appear on the display as the heart symbol flashes. When the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your blood pressure and pulse rate will display on the screen. If you need to stop the measurement at any time, simply press the on/off button and the monitor will immediately deflate. And remember, always consult your physician for specific information about your blood pressure.
What is IntelliSense?
The IntelliSense monitor inflates the cuff to the ideal level with each use -- you never have to make any adjustments to select an inflation level. This is especially convenient for hypertensive users and for people with certain arrhythmia or heart disorders because their blood pressure is so likely to fluctuate. The biggest advantage of using the IntelliSense technology is a personalized inflation, every time, for maximum comfort.
The Importance of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring
Doctors, diabetes educators, physician assistants, nurses, and other healthcare professionals all recommend home blood pressure monitoring for various reasons. Home monitoring provides your healthcare professionals with better information to understand and manage your high blood pressure. Many types of hypertension can only be detected by monitoring your blood pressure at home, including:

  • White-Coat Hypertension: blood pressure reading is high in your doctor's office but lower at home
  • Masked Hypertension: blood pressure reading is low in doctor's office but higher at home
  • Morning Hypertension: blood pressure reading is higher in the morning
Additionally, many factors can affect your blood pressure, including physical exertion, emotional fluctuations, medications, and stress. So having your blood pressure monitored at a pharmacy with an in-store device after you've been shopping or walking around might not provide you with the most accurate measurement. Monitoring your blood pressure at home allows you achieve a relaxed state more easily, and it gives you the flexibility to take your measurements at various times during the day. By keeping track of your home blood pressure readings, you can provide your healthcare professional with a log of your measurements over time. This can help them evaluate the effectiveness or need for medication

"Much better!!" 2010-03-05
By Jeff (Seattle, WA)
I use to have a machine that you had to pump up with the bulb. This product is so great. You just slip it onto your arm and push the start button and it does the rest. I would highly recommend this product. I will always buy a self inflating machine from now on.This is my first time using an Omron, and am very pleased with it so far. The number are nice and big and easy to read. Very easy set up.
Thanks Omron,

"Omron HEM 712C BP machine" 2010-02-08
By annieokie (Oklahoma)
This is my second Omron and it is great. Has no printout feature like my old one but I can manage by writing down each pressure and pulse to take to my cardiologist. It's memory holds a month's worth of pressures but I only see my cardio doc every 3 months.The cuff is very easy to apply to my own arm and it inflates FAST. I like that.The read out is large, so even with lousy vision I can read it easily.I highly recommend this machine.


"not pleased" 2010-01-15
By P. Nangle (nh)
Not very pleased with this monitor. Readings are not accurate and the adult cuff in almost 5 inches shorter than a normal adult cuff. Would not recommend this model.
