Customer Reviews of Omron HEM-773AC Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Easy-Wrap Cuff and IntelliSense
Customer Review: eh, it's all right
Summary: 3 Stars
Overall this product is just OK. I got a great deal on it (on sale, plus a $10 instant rebate, and I had gift certificates).
What I don't like about it is that #1: I feel like it's not accurate. I've been borderline HBP for a couple of years and now this machine gives me perfect readings. (119/79, 120/80, 117/78 to name a few) and #2: I often need a 2nd person to help me put the cuff on, otherwise it doesn't get as tight a fit. My dad has an older model where the cuff wraps around and slides through a metal loop so you can get a bit of leverage when you're putting it on with your other hand. This cuff is a little more awkward.
I'm glad I didn't pay full price for it, let's just say that.
Customer Review: Not accurate!
Summary: 1 Stars
The Omron HEM-773 was recommended to me by a co-worker who was very pleased with the instrument. Since we both work in a hospital and have a good working knowledge in the area, I thought that this would be a slam dunk purchase.
I could not have been more wrong.
The reading varies from 10 to 15 units off from manual readings from 3 different well trained nurses. The unit is very easy to use and good features for the money but if I don't have confidence in the reading, what good is it. I rarely get it out and when I do, it just makes my literal "blood pressure" go up by it's misreading.
I would think that a instrument such as this would have a calibratiion mechanism.
In all fairness my co-worker loves hers but I bought mine here and am not happy.
Customer Review: Diastolic Reading Inaccurate
Summary: 1 Stars
I took the meter to my doctor's office to compare it's reading to a cuff & stethoscope reading. On two attempts with two different cuffs, the meter was off. The bottom number (diastolic) was much lower than the cuff reading.Customer Review: doesn't work well
Summary: 1 Stars
this particular unit gives an error reading about 90% of the time. I probablly will have to go through the effort of reboxing and sending back if they will take it without a lot of grief.

Customer Review: Inaccurate measure

Blood professor monitor inaccurate compared to reading in doctor's office. Had to return it to the vendor at our expense (approximately $12). Have not received it back.
