And with a 90-memory recall with date and time stamp, you can track your blood pressure and pulse progress as your work towards a healthier lifestyle.
 The Omron HEM-780 delivers accurate, clinically-proven blood pressure readings in the comfort of your own home. |
 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. |
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

With two seniors in our household battling hypertension it has been critical for us to track our BP readings at home for the doctor visits. If we don't take in a record, the doctors hits us with more meds even if our BP readings are high in his office due to "white coat syndrome".The wrist monitor has been inaccurate - readings far too low. The other monitor we had which required a stethoscope was awkward for us to use individually.This machine is GREAT - records readings so we can take the machine to the Dr's office and prove HE is what elevates our blood pressure. It has many features such as irregular heartbeat monitor, morning hypertension versus all day and more. Even we older people are able to understand it and keep our records separate.We couldn't be more pleased.

If you need a simple to use home blood pressure monitor this is the one to get. I've been very pleased with this item, but there is one word of warning. All blood pressure monitors are sensitive to cuff size and if you need a larger cuff or you get the cuff too tight you may get an inaccurately high reading.

The Omron Blood Pressure Kit I find to be very easy to use. At my last Cardo visit I took my Kit with me and my heart doctor was pleased with it. He stated I purchased one of the best pressure kits. He had me take my pressure in his office twice however the accuracy of the reading was off by more than 10. It had me a little concerned so I was advised to monitor these readings with another BP reading source and to keep a log of both.

This is an excellent machine IF you have someone else to help you put the cuff on. Machine will not work unless the cuff is tight. With the very stiff cuff; the more you pull to tighten it the more it just slips around your arm. You MUST have someone hold it still while you pull it tight. Lots of whistles and bells but no good if your trying to take your own blood pressure.
