With a touch of a button, you can learn all you need to know about your blood pressure and be reassured you're getting an accurate reading, thanks to the Calibration Check System and the Cuff Wrap Guide.

  • Standard Adult Cuff--fits arm sizes 9 to 13 inches
  • Large Adult Cuff--fits arm sizes 13 to 17 inches
  • Omron ComFit Cuffs--fit both standard and large size arms from 9 to 17 inches

I got this blood pressure monitor for my husband's use--he is a physician with high blood pressure. He was not interested in using it to monitor his own blood pressure, but was very interested in using it in his clinic, as he had the manual type (called a sphygmomanometer) and his nurse was showing signs of carpal tunnel syndrome from manually pumping it up for each patient. So I agreed that he could use it there if he would write a review for me. Although this will not give feedback on the use of this monitor for individual use, I think that the review by a physician will be worthwhile and add something to the many reviews already published here. Here is his review:
"We just started using the Omron BP785, Series 10, blood pressure monitor in our medical clinic. We have tried other automatic blood pressure monitors before and were not satisfied as the readings were erratic at times. We have been impressed with the accuracy and ease of use of the Omron device.
The device is small, light, and has an easy-to-read face that measures 4.75 inches by 6 inches. The back of the device is elevated off the flat surface 3.5 inches, the front is elevated only .75 inches so the device is manufactured to rest on a flat surface and the face is tilted forward towards the user for ease of reading. The readings are in large size numbers also for easy reading.
The Omron, Series 10 has many unique features including an automatic calibration check system with dual sensors that automatically check each reading to insure accuracy. Other features include a cuff wrap guide to make sure the cuff is properly applied. The pre-formed cuff provided makes the cuff easy to apply and fits all size upper arms. In the "True Read Mode" the device takes three separate consecutive readings, one minute apart and displays the average of the three readings following the guidelines of the American Heart Association. The device also has an Irregular Heartbeat Detector that alerts the user of any irregular beats which is very helpful in a busy clinic. This allows my nurse to notify me of any patients with a previously unknown irregular heartbeat so I can refer them to a cardiologist ASAP. The device also has a 200 reading memory storage with date and time-stamp for easy research of the last 200 readings.
We have checked the Omron's accuracy against our standard sphygmomanometer and it appears to be very accurate for all three parameters of Systolic BP, Diastolic BP, and Pulse.
I would recommend this monitor for home use and even for medical office use without any reservations."
He said that he absolutely would give this product five stars. He has only been using it for about a week, so I will update this review after several months of his using it to see about a hundred patients a week. This would be useful in assessing its long term durability.
Highly recommended.

Our whole family love this product. It is very important to keep a check on your blood pressure. Very accurate.

I have been using blood pressure monitors for over 12 years and compared to others I have been using this one is FAR better.... here is why: (1) The construction quality is excellent... beautifully made (2) It is extremely quiet, almost in-audible compared to others I have used (3) The cuff design is unusual and a huge improvement over the conventional cuff design on other units... this one has a flexible shaped insert inside the inflatable cuff that forms a "tube" shape that makes the cuff very easy to slide over your arm and to easily wrap the Velcro to hold it in place. I eventually learned that I could leave the Velcro "closed" and simply slide the cuff off after use and easily slide it back on for a new measurement without opening the Velcro.(4) Yes, is is made in China BUT in a PANASONIC factory. (5) I have not yet compared the readings to those in my doctors office but likely it will be very close since it is ~ same as the older very noisy one I have been using that does closely match the doctors measurements.

Cross tested this with another and it comes out accurate. It is billed as a portable, but it seems a little big for travel. I thought it would be smaller. The readout part of the monitor of it is 8.5" long, and about 2.5" in diameter. Appears to be built to last. Comes with a nice travel pouch.
- By dansker (DC)

This Panasonic blood pressure monitor is the tiniest I've seen, but it does the job just fine. It comes with a manual, a set of batteries and a soft cloth carry bag (a power adapter is available separately). The display is large and easy to read. The cuff has an embedded C-shaped spring which makes it easy to fit to your arm by yourself.
An excellent, reliable product perfect for traveling.

I've only had my monitor for a few weeks so I can't speak to it's long term performance. So far however, I'm very satisfied. I work in a hospital so the first thing I did was compare the results of the LifeSource monitor to the real thing. The comparative results were basically the same. I compared the results of a friend's BPs and it appears that this device is pretty reliable. It's easy to operate,easy to read and small enough to take with you to work, trips, etc. I would caution anyone who's wrist circumference is close to the upper limit (7.7 in.)... My left wrist is 6 3/8 inches and it's a very tight fit...

    Omron HEM 609 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor w/IntelliSense

    The Omron HEM-609 Portable Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with IntelliSense is a compact wrist unit that is designed to go anywhere. This monitor is incredibly easy to use -- simply wrap the cuff around your wrist and press start. The built-in cuff fits wrist sizes 5.25 to 8.5 inches in circumference. In seconds, your blood pressure and pulse readings are displayed on the large digital panel. Proven time and time again, Omron's IntelliSense technology ensures accurate, clinically-proven, and comfortable readings. And with a 14 memory recall you can track your blood pressure and pulse progress as you work towards a healthier lifestyle.

    Instructions for Wrist 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. Stress raises blood pressure, so avoid taking measurements during stressful times. Also, measurements should be taken in a quiet place. You should be in a relaxed, seated position with your feet flat on the floor. Before you take your measurement, rest comfortably in a relaxed environment for at least 15 minutes. Place the cuff over your left wrist with your left thumb facing upwards. Position the unit leaving approximately 0.5-inches of space between the edge of the cuff and your palm. Pull the cuff upward while holding the edge of the wrist cuff and wrap snugly. Make sure to lightly press the Velcro closure with your fingers so that it is fastened tightly.
    Using your elbow as an axis point, slowly raise your left hand at an angle towards your right shoulder. Stop your movement when the heart mark is aligned with the arrow symbol. When your wrist reaches the proper position, the monitor beeps and automatically starts inflation and measurement. Hold your wrist at this position. Do not make any movements until the measurement results are displayed. Once 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.


    Product Features
    • Automatic wrist monitor is the simplest way to take blood pressure readings at home.
    • IntelliSense monitor inflates cuff to the ideal level with each use.
    • Large digital panel displays blood pressure and pulse readings.
    • Cuff fits arms 9 to 13 inches in circumference.
    • Main unit measures 2.75 x 2.125 x 1.44 inches (WxHxD), not including wrist cuff.

    Excellant! works wonderfully well. I would endorse this anytime. I was totally upset with Amazon policy of issuing a promotional certificate (part of the rebate money) after 6 months of purchase. If you think you are going to get to spend that in a gift certificate or buy something you have to wait 6 months or more. I found this out after a gruelling 20 minutes with a customer service person who offered to help but gave the same line of information again and agian and again... so much for cusomer service!

    By R. Venkatraman (NJ, USA)

    Because I am overweight, my doctor recommended that I keep track of my blood pressure. Since the cuffs at the automated machines at drug stores and Wal-Mart were always too small for me to get an accurate reading, I purchased this model for ease of use. It's quite convenient. I find myself testing my pressure several times a day. Sometimes just for fun.
    It appears to be accurate as well. Some reviewers have claimed that it's readings are low, but I've been getting results consistent with the doctor's readings when he uses the large arm cuff. I've always gotten higher results when I'm at the automated machines with the standard cuff.
    I like the memory function as well. It stores 90 readings and will provide and average of your readings as well. This is handy since my pressure fluctuates 10 to 20 points depending on what time of day it is, when I last ate, or how long I've been sedentary. I would recommend this to those of you who need to keep track of your blood pressure but don't want the hassle of an arm cuff.
