Customer Reviews of Omron HEM-712CLC Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Large Cuff
Customer Review: One issue what I have found with the product is that it makes a lot of noise when inflating the cuff.
Summary: 4 Stars
I have purchased the BP MOnitor 3 weeks back and so far I am happy with its performance. One issue what I have found with the product is that it makes a lot of noise when inflating the cuff. Othervise the readings look ok.Customer Review: Seven seconds with your circulation cut off in your arm is a painful long time.
Summary: 4 Stars
This is an okay unit, but I wish I'd bought one without the "auto inflate" feature. The trouble is, after the cuff is inflated, it takes more than seven seconds for the program chip to detect that it is full and time to start the slow deflation cycle.
Seven seconds with your circulation cut off in your arm is a painful long time. It is longer than you think.
But it is very accurate. There was absolutely no standard deviation from these measurements and the ones my nurse and doctor did right after with their professional units, so quality is very high.
Customer Review: Looks & works good.
Summary: 4 Stars
Looks & works good. I am personally not a doctor, to tell how accurate it is. How ever it is the best price i got for. Customer Review: The automatic reading doesn't allow for the mistake from poor hearing...
Summary: 5 Stars
When working as ER physician, I would frequently listen to blood pressure readings using a stethescope and my own ears before making decisions about iv medications. But, for home use, I always recommend that people use an automatic cuff because it takes the fudge-factor out. I'll frequently have patients tell me their blood pressure's doing great (when it's actually very elevated) when they listen with a stethescope. The automatic reading doesn't allow for the mistake from poor hearing, poor stethescope skills, or just unconscious wishful thinking.
As for automatic cuffs, I've found the Omron brand to be very reliable (actually was required to use this brand once in a research project I did with a new blood pressure medication).
If you're interested in lowering your blood pressure (and your doctor agrees) I'd also recommend that you use a combination of "The Abs Diet, Eat Right Every Time," alternating with a weekly fast using "The Miracle of Fasting" by Paul Bragg as a guide.
The most powerful way to lower weight and blood pressure without medication is to gradually work your way up to walking about 20 miles per week. It seems outrageous to most with high blood pressure...but there is a way to go from sedentary to active (see my website).
Also, I'd recommend the Resperate device sold here as a proven way to lower blood pressure (all effects will be minimal without walking).
Again, check all this out with your physician first.
Peace & Health,

 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
