Customer Reviews of Omron HEM-773AC Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Easy-Wrap Cuff and IntelliSense

Customer Review: Excellent and consistent home blood pressure monitor
Summary: 5 Stars

Pros: Consistent, fast, variable cuff size, AC and batteries, and it is high quality.
Cons: Size, it isn't very portable, but it can still be done. It is awkward to put the cuff back in the holder(at first, it is easier when you figure it out that the tube needs to be tucked inside).

This blood pressure monitor has been great for me. It is very consistent in the measurements it takes (as long as you are consistent with how you use it). This monitor has given me results that are very close to what the physician measures manually. My main complaint with most auto devices is that they are too inconsistent. One time I take a reading it will be 120/80, and then 1 minute later it will be 170/85, when it is really about 140/85.

I think this is in part due to my large arm diameter of about 16 inches. This cuff fits me very well, and it is easy to line up every time. It has a marking on the cuff to assist lining it up with your artery in your arm, and clear directions on the cuff. I also needed it to fit my wife with her 12 inch arms, and I really didn't want two separate cuffs. She has low blood pressure, and it worked just fine for that as well. This cuff appears to be accurate anywhere in the range it is supposed to fit.

I would strongly recommend this monitor, and I don't usually give items 5 stars unless they truly are exceptional. With this monitor, I will take my blood pressure 3 times in a row, and get the same 3 results, it is nice for a change.

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.
