Omron HEM-780 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with ComFit Cuff
Within the past year, after a doctor's visit found me in reasonably good health, I decided to stay on top of my own health, and work towards actually improving it. I started an exercise routine, including a lot of walking.
Since doing this, I have started using some different Omron products, including an Omron HJ-112 Digital Pocket Pedometer and Omron HR-100C Heart Rate Monitor. My blood pressure has not really been an issue. It was a little toward the high side of normal, but nothing to immediately worry about. My doctor told me I needed to lose weight and that would take care of keeping it down. So, in the past year I've gone from 245 to 185 lbs.
And, I've finally decided to get a blood pressure monitor. As I've been very satisfied with my other Omron products, and based on the reviews, I decided on this monitor. Now, I've only had it for two weeks, but thus far, I have been very pleased with it. It is very easy to use, and the Comfit Cuff really does make it easy. It doesn't take a rocket scientist to figure out how to program the date and time into it, or to change the TruRead mode (takes an average of three readings) or the Single mode.
I also like that it reads and records for two users and reads for a guest user. This way, both my girlfriend and I can read and maintain our own records. And, if for some reason, someone was visiting and wanted, or needed, to check their BP, they could do so without influencing our recordings.
The ability to give you averages of morning and evening readings is also nice. So far, for me, no issues of "morning hypertension", and that is a nice feature.
I also like that it runs on batteries or with the AC adaptor, so if you need to take it with you, you know that with good batteries, you need not worry about taking the adaptor (although it fits just fine in the included case, so why not).
My big concern, though, was whether this unit was accurate. Out of the box, I guess there really is no way of knowing. As it turns out, I had a doctor's appointment last week; about a week after getting it, and keeping a daily record for a week. And, needless to say, they took my blood pressure at the office. Well, that certainly alleviated my concerns as the readings were very much in line with each other.
When I ordered mine, Amazon was offering a $10 off special. My Mom had indicated she wanted an automatic BP monitor, as she has a manual one and finds it rather difficult to use. And actually, although I was planning on buying one for myself anyhow, I was going to order this one for her. Well, with the discount, I ordered two. And here was another big concern of mine - Mom is elderly and small. Would this unit work for her? As it turns out, yes it does. I was afraid the Comfit Cuff might be too big and not work with her, but she has used it, and it works fine. She is probably on the very small end of the spectrum for the Cuff, but it does give good readings for her, and she received no Error messages.
Based on my experiences, I would certainly recommend this unit. The only thing I don't know is how long lasting it is, but I'm assuming it will be around for a good while since it is warranted for five years.

 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
