Amazon.com Product Description
Not only does the HEM-780 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor utilize Omron's patented IntelliSense technology, but it also features the innovative Comfit Cuff. The ComFit Cuff is pre-formed for a quick and proper fit that is perfect for both medium and large-sized arms (nine to 17 inches). It's easy to apply the cuff to your arm without any assistance -- simply wrap the cuff around your arm and press start. In seconds your blood pressure and pulse 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 90-memory recall with date and time stamp, you can track your blood pressure and pulse progress as your work towards a healthier lifestyle.


The Omron HEM-780 delivers accurate, clinically-proven blood pressure readings in the comfort of your own home.


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.
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.

5 out of 5 stars Works Great   November 17, 2008
Donnie (Louisiana)
My wife and I use this monitor, by having an A & B user we can keep track of our individual numbers. We like this product


5 out of 5 stars Great Monitor, Great Price   November 17, 2008
J. R. Williams (Cary, NC USA)
After considerable research I purchased this blood pressure monitor and I'm very pleased with the device. It has alot more features than any other monitor offered for the price I paid. It is very accurate and easy to use. BTW, I am also very happy about the price I paid at Amazon.com which was less than the price of a basic monitor offered exclusively at Walmart and manufactured by this company.


4 out of 5 stars Quick and Easy   November 16, 2008
E. Wyatt (California)
This blood pressure monitor is quick and easy. I don't have to guess how high I need to go with a bulb pressure unit. The cuff fits my upper arm which exceeds "normal" cuff measurements. It is comfortable and partially permanent formed so it grips your arm while you are wrapping the rest of the cuff around your arm which makes it very easy to put on.

Has a memory which makes it easy for me to keep a record for my docotor. I even bought one for my sister...



5 out of 5 stars Yes, It's an N3   November 16, 2008
David
I just received mine so it's too early for me to review it. But responding to an earlier post, the box has 780 as the model number but the machine has a sticker on the back that has N3.


5 out of 5 stars Great product, great price, fast delivery   November 13, 2008

Omron HEM-780 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with ComFit Cuff
This product is an easy-to-use blood pressure monitor that yields consistent results. It compares favorably with readings from professonal units costing over 10 times the SRP of this unit. Have been using it regularly ever since being diagnosed with hypertension. Its built in memory of previous readings allows an easy review of history and progress of blood pressure maintenance. I look forward to continued use of this product as I help track the BP control regimen of my doctor.
