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.

1 out of 5 stars Omron HEM-780 not very accurate   August 21, 2008
I have the Omron HEM-780 unit for 1 1/2 years now and I find it to be inaccurate at times. The device has other problems with it like not giving me a reading at all, it just cuts out. This cut out problem has happened over 100 times. It inflates the cuff to a certain point, but then cuts off completely. I then have to remove the cuff and put it back on and redo the reading again.

I personally do not care about the other features if it can not do the primary job and I find myself constantly using my backup manual cuff and stethoscope.



5 out of 5 stars Great BP cuff!   August 19, 2008
This BP cuff is great. It has enough features that I have options on how I want to record my information. My husband uses it as well; I'm "A" and he is "B" and we compare our measurements. Lots of features and easy to use.


5 out of 5 stars Blood Pressure Accurate Reading   August 17, 2008
This item was recommended to me by my primary physician for a very good reason -- I desperately needed to get an accurate BP reading and that wasn't happening with the kind I was using (wrist bp machine).

This item is very easy to use; has good versatility and doesn't take up much space (I keep it on the kitchen table since I take my pressure twice a day). I would highly recommend this machine to anyone who needs to get an accurate reading.



1 out of 5 stars Buyer Beware   August 13, 2008
Amazon's web site states that the Model Number is HEM-780(N3) I JUST RECEIVED ITEM IN MAIL.
IT'S THE OLD ONE...THE 780. OMRON AND/OR AMAZON IS PLAYING GAMES.
I JUST RETURNED MINE AND WILL DEAL WITH A LOCAL COMPANY SO I CAN CHECK TO GET THE LATEST
MODEL.



5 out of 5 stars Good Quality Item Nice Features Fast service   August 11, 2008
Heart Arrhythmia sensor and motion detector included. Nice extras. Generous memory storage of BP/pulse also. Works well for two people with Person A & B Slide switch.
Definitely one of the best I have seen and used.
