View Omron's Blood Pressure 101 Brochure to learn more.Facts About Blood PressureYour heart is your most important organ, and it's a good idea to know how well it's doing. With Omron home blood pressure monitors, you consistently get an accurate picture of your heart's health.One in three adults suffer from high blood pressure in America. This condition can lead to heart attacks, strokes, kidney failure, and blindness. With the Omron 10+ SERIES upper arm monitor, you can monitor your blood pressure at home, and with the help of your physician, take steps to decrease your risk of heart disease. A healthy heart combined with a healthy lifestyle will help increase your chances for a long, active life.
View this chart to learn more about what the numbers mean.What the Numbers MeanUnderstanding your readings is easy with the Omron 10+ SERIES blood pressure monitor. The easy-to-read screen displays your readings in large font and labels each number with a tab along the side.

: Systolic Pressure is the top number on the display. It's the pressure created as your heart contracts to pump blood throughout the body.; Diastolic Pressure is the bottom number on the display. It's the pressure between beats, when your heart relaxes.

These numbers combine to give you your blood pressure reading (systolic over diastolic pressure).

How to Monitor + TipsYour blood pressure numbers often change. For instance, your blood pressure in the morning can be significantly different than at night, when you visit a doctor's office, or after exercising. By using an Omron blood pressure monitor at home, you're able to detect changes in your blood pressure any time you want.
Monitoring at Home is EasyTo ensure an accurate reading, do not measure your blood pressure within 30 minutes of:

Exercising
Eating
Smoking
Drinking Alcohol
Bathing

Place the blood pressure arm cuff on your left arm and sit quietly for approximately five minutes with both feet flat on the floor. Then, when you are ready to test, simply press the start button and the Omron monitor will do the rest.

Customer Reviews

I've owned/used several other blood pressure meters over the years, including ones from Omron and LifeSource. The older units look pretty basic compared to this latest Omron, which provides significant more computerized functionality than the older units. However, this does come at the cost of greater complexity.
Good things about the new Omron:
"TruRead" mode, which automatically takes 3 sequential readings and averages them. I always did this manually with my older units anyway because the readings would differ slightly from time to time, but this one does it with one touch of a button, and then computes the average for you.
Cuff is very nice: broad and stiff, which I find much easier to apply.
Automatically determines if you have applied the cuff correctly.
Like a dozen other things I own these days, this unit can connect to my computer via USB, which fortunately is by the common "mini" USB connector and not the less common "micro" USB connector, which means that you can use the same USB cord as you use for many other devices.
Things that may or may not be good:
It is set up to handle 2 regular users, via an A/B slide switch. This really is only useful if you have 2 people who both use the same unit regularly, and they both want to have the unit keep track of averages and/or download readings to a computer. Of course, you have to remember to set the switch in the right position for you so you don't get mixed up, which would destroy the value of any history.
You can connect it to your Windows computer as mentioned above, supposedly to connect to Microsoft Health Vault (which I did not try - who wants to upload their personal information to something run by Microsoft?) or to Omron's Health Management software package which you can download and run privately on your own Windows PC. I did try out the latter, which does allow you to upload stored readings to your computer for graphing of historical trends. I find this only marginally useful if at all - I do keep my own log in Excel, where I can also add notes, add other data, and analyze and graph it myself - all without having to plug it in to my computer. I did experience some difficulty uploading, where it was not obvious what to do to start the upload after connecting the unit to my computer.
Things that are not so good:
It has various computational abilities such as a memory, ability to keep history for morning ; evening readings, etc. I suppose this could provide some value to those who are tech-oriented and would value the additional information, but I find that it just adds unnecessary complexity to the device with little value to me. I found it difficult to figure out how to make this work, even after (re)reading the instruction manual several times. Anything that requires you to keep the instruction manual handy flunks my usability test, and likely will not be used by 98% of most users. Factoid to provide contrast: My old LifeSource unit had just 1 button, my old Omron had just 2, while this unit has 7 buttons.
Overall, I like the unit because it is a useful improvement over my older devices, particularly due to the useful TruRead feature. It does provide PC connectivity and more computational features that older units too, but not everyone will find those capabilities useful, and they do increase the complexity of the unit.
UPDATE 12/23/11 - Long-term experience report:
The unit is still working well, and I like it. The good features I mentioned above, especially the TruRead feature, have turned out to be real advantages over previous units, and I would really miss them if I had to go back.
For anything other than very occasional use, you will need to run this unit plugged into the power adapter (included), because it consumes batteries more rapidly than older units, perhaps because of the TruRead feature. I don't find this a problem.
I'm a satisfied user.

This monitor is NOT compatible with Microsoft Health Vault. I contacted Omron about this issue, and Omron says they do not have a driver for MHV, and do not expect to have it any time soon. After a lengthy discussion about Omron falsly advertising a product, claiming that it is compatible with MHV, Omron simply declined to provide any information about when a driver will be published. Omron is not even remotely concerned about this discrepancy. Needless to say, I filed a consumer protection complaint, then a complaint through the FCC and the FTC for misrepresentation. I'm sure those complaints will provide those agencies with sleeping materials. I give this product 2 stars, for Omron's intentional misrepresentation.
