Omron10 Series Wireless Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor

This monitor ( Omron 10 Series Wireless Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor BP7450 ) is a good one. The cuff is very easy to wear. I haven't verified this device reading with my doctor. Will update the accuracy later.The only thing is changing the TrueRead mode setting is not a straight forward. The TrueRead mode takes 3 consecutive measurements and apply the average. You can set the interval between the readings ( 15,30,60 or 120 seconds) If you would like to turn-on TrueRead mode later, you need to press the Bluetooth button and accept all the date prompts to change the TrueRead settings. They should have a separate button to turn off or turn on the TrueRead setting. I am not removing Arm Cuff Air plug from the monitor. I always attached the air plug to the monitor as I read some reviews says the air plug can break if you remove and insert often ( I didn't do any research whether it really breaks or not). The BlueTooth sync is easy.Please note while adding the monitor to your mobile app ( 1st time ) , you need to select an user on your phone . If you do not select an user ( 1 or 2 ) , it gives a misleading error saying that "the selected user is already assigned and do you you want to overwrite?" Make sure to select an user on your mobile app while adding your BP monitor to your iPhone App. I synced with Iphone X ( iOS 14.7.1) and no issues.The App has a nice graphical representation of your readings. You can also change it to list view.You can share the result to the registered email. I don't see anyway to send directly to any other email except the one you used to register with "Connect Omron App". I don't see sharing through other apps like whatsapp.Overall the monitor is good one. I still need to validate the reading with my doctor, but the readings looks correct from my history.

This is my first blood pressure monitor, so I do not have previous references. However, it took me a bit of research to make the decision on purchasing this and not an older series' Omron, or a different brand. I ended up choosing this 9”- 17” preformed cuff because my arm size leans more to a lower circumference (13") than towards a higher value. This is something that will definitely determine you choosing between preformed cuff or d-ring and wrist devices (the latter work better for people with bigger upper arms). I was a bit concerned about accuracy, but the TruRead function (averaging consecutive measurements) takes care of it, even so, I have not noticed outlier measurements. It is more about following general common ground instructions on when (time of the day, body state, etc.) and how to take the measurement, than any inaccuracy given by the instrument. So far so good, it is very easy to use and I can store/synch 2 user's readings independently. Pairing the device was at first a bit confusing, but if you stick to the instructions it works just fine, also, it was a one-time thing to do (1 time per user/phone). I paired both IPhone and Android, no problems. The synching and keeping history in the app, which is simple but good enough is also a plus. With regards to the reviews claiming the blue rubber joint at the end of the band breaks easily... I am not sure why would that happen. It could certainly be a bit delicate, but just as any other instrument, you just need to take care of it: set the monitor in one fixed and undisturbed place and you should be good. Also treat it carefully, just like any other cable-like part it will obviously have a risk to break if you pull it around, bent it or generally mistreat it (it is an electronic device, not a garden hose!!). Anyways.. really happy with my purchase.

I upgraded my old Omron blood pressure monitor with this model because I wanted one that would link up to an app that allows the data to sync into Google Health. The brand is one that I trust and the readings seems consistent with my old model. The armband is definitely an upgrade from my old model. Overall I think it's a good choice and would recommend this model.

I was hoping to get the Platinum model as it is pretty much the same thing but has a case,etc. The Platinum is not FSA eligible so I went with this one.Readings were higher than expected, so took it to my Dr. to compare it with a good old manual check. Found the accuracy to be about 10 mmHg higher on both sys and dia values, and pulse is right on. I guess it is better to err on the side of caution. A trip to the Dr. To confirm this was much less expensive than an unnecessary trip to the hospital emergency department.This device is pretty easy to use. The instructions are pretty good and they point out some of the issues about it that have been posted. There is a quick start insert, but I recommend reading the manual. It will save you time and frustration.The pre-formed cuff is helpful for applying by oneself. However, it can be a little uncomfortable as the edge of the rigid portion sits right on the tricep at the base of the armpit. With frequent use or if not careful, can irritate or pinch when it inflates.I found the issue of the bluetooth not being reliable is true when using the recommended app. I think this is more of an app issue than if the unit. It is supported by the Samsung Health app and works great! Their recommended app seems to showcase the EKG feature of their other device. I also don't understand why some permissions are required to download my readings such as location. It doesn't matter where I am if I want my readings. If you don't need it, I recommend saving the phone or tablet memory and use the health and fitness app of choice that you already use or is embedded on your smart device.It would be nice if it offered an attached or BT linked pulse ox sensor that would log the reading along with the associated BP reading.I also would be very happy if it could be updated with new software to allow calibration regardless of the app used with it.Despite the accuracy issue, I think this is a good investment.
