 Top Cuff January 20, 2008

OK, I got this cuff because I have a VERY picky physician. I haven't been tracking my BP too well and was read the "riot act" in order to have me go and get a cuff. Well, he said that, no matter which cuff I got, HE would have to check it for accuracy, and that he rejects over half of all the cuffs he sees. BTW, don't even think about getting a finger or wrist cuff. He rejects most all of them for inaccuracies of some sort. He also wanted me to email him my readings every month and he would call me in if he saw a problem trend. So I got this unit because it allows me to just download the readings and I could paste them into an email and everyone would be happy. And I got it from Amazon because they have an iron-clad return policy, just in case I needed to exercise it. Well, the day came that I sent in my first batch of readings and went in to have the unit (and me) checked. My doctor gave my cuff perfect marks. Its reading was within a couple points (dia/sys/pulse) of his personal reading taken a minute apart. He was also impressed with its trending features and alerts. He even wrote down the brand/model to pass on to other patients as the "doctor recommended" model of BP cuff.
After all that, you may want to know how well the unit operates. Well, I don't use the power adapter at all. Don't even know why they include one. It's been running strong on batteries since the day I got it (3 readings a day for 6 weeks now). When these batteries finally die, I'm glong to put in Li-Ions and see just how long they last. The cuff goes on easily and auto-inflates/deflates quickly without sacrificing accuracy. Once a week, I plug the base unit into a USB port on my computer and DL the data into the included "management" program. Overall, a pretty good program that slices/dices the data and displays it based on various criteria. I'm just scratching my head why it supports up to 1000 users, but OK. Except for the initial programming of the time/date/etc., I did ALL this without cracking the manual. I'm happy, my doctor's happy, nuff said.
This is a good one. August 26, 2007

Taking blood pressures just at the doctor's office doesn't really tell you your BP over time. The way to know that is taking your own blood pressures frequently at home. Then take the blood pressures to the doctor's office with you. That's the best way to evaluate how effective bloos pressure control medications are working for each individual. I've been doing this for 20 years (an my doctor scolds me if I don't bring a BP flow chart with me.) This machine is the best one I've had. The design of the cuff that wraps your arm is unusual and much easier to use than others. The machine itself is well constructed and very sturdy. The AC adapter is included but I install batteries for a back-up. The testing is quick and accurate. They built an advanced averaging feature into the machine that insures accurate reading. The memory hold 80 readings. So, just take your BP and don't worry about any extra recording work for about three months if you take your BP daily. The software installs easy and works just fine. It's simple as simple can be to download the 80 reading to your PC. You just print the reports that software provides and take the reports to your doctor. Are your BP medications really working for you? There's only one way to know: take your own BPs at home a lot. This machine makes it easy and accurate to do that.

I bought this monitor as a replacement for a similar device (Mabis SmartRead) I had purchased for about $20 less without doing much research, but from a usually reliable source (not Amazon). Everything I expected, but did not get, from the Mabis product, the Omron delivers. It is extremely easy to use. The Comfit Cuff is a very important feature because you can literally raise your blood pressure trying to get the right fit from the Mabis cuff and ones like it, whereas the Omron cuff is a breeze - a similar experience and almost as easy to use as the cuffs on commercial machines for self-testing found in pharmacies. The Omron is a sturdy, accurate device in which I have confidence, and with the Health Management Software included, I no longer have to do a side log of readings and charting is automatic. This device is definitely a good value for your money and Amazon's price was the best.

I bought this Omron unit after having tried two different Homedics/Walgreen's devices, both of which measured my BP about 10-20% high (as compared with clinic/gym manual measurements).
The Omron unit seems to be much more accurate. The cuff is quite easy to put on. The User A/User B choice is done via a sliding switch on the front, which is much more positive than other units I have seen.
The software installed (under XP) straight forwardly, and data download was easy. I believe another reviewer criticized the s/w because you could not "re-direct" the install to a directory of your choice. This is false.
The three reading-average mode of operation is also quite east to set. You can chose to take three readings between 15/30/60 seconds of each other (default=60 sec.), and the machine automatically averages them to get a reading that is less likely to be influenced by measurement error.
All in all, an excellent product, and less expensive than either of the two error-prone Walgreens units I tried.

I selected this unit primarily based on its ability to identify an abnormal heartbeat and alert the user to its presence. This unit provides that capability.
This unit can store and upload the data it records to a PC, which with the included software is capable of generating a csv formatted file as well as the ability to output tabulator data in a pdf file. I have found this a useful feature in allowing me to aggregate several days' worth of data and fax/email it to my doctors.
In addition to having a brick type power supply the unit has an internal battery which makes it much more portable than other units. While the included manual was helpful I didn't really need to refer to it much in order to understand how the unit operates.
I'm an engineer and tend to be particular about not settling for second best. I did a lot of research before purchasing this unit and have to say that I'm very pleased with how it has performed. I would have no problem with recommending this unit to anyone who has an ongoing need to monitor and track their blood pressure.
