Editorial Review: Amazon.com Product Description: The Omron HEM-712C Automatic Blood Monitor with IntelliSense is one of the best-selling upper-arm blood pressure monitors. This monitor is incredibly easy to use -- simply wrap the cuff around your arm and press start. In seconds, your blood pressure and pulse readings are displayed on the large digital panel. Proven time and time again, Omron's IntelliSense technology ensures accurate, clinically-proven, and comfortable readings.
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:

Q&A - Blood Pressure Monitors What is IntelliSense? Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Blood Pressure MonitorI owned the Omron 711 (sister monitor to the one in this review) a while ago and it was powered from an A/C adapter. I purchased the 712 cuz it was less expensive--by half. Hey, the Omron design worked well, why pay twice the price--an Omron is an Omron. Upon delivery,I was surprised to discover the 712 was totally dependent on using AA batteries. I almost sent it back for a trade, but decided to try it out. The Amazon web site did not highlight the battery power dependence. Yup, ... Read More Rating: - Great little gadgetThe Omron HEM712C is a wonderful device. I have had an Omron blood pressure monitor for years and it worked very well. This is a newer model and it is perfect and I am confident that it will last for years. The memory system is ideal. Beware that this monitor does not come with a plug-in cable and unless you buy one, you will have to use batteries. Fortunately, I have the cable from my previous monitor and that works just fine. However, if only being able to use batteries is OK with you, don't worry ... Read More Rating: - Bought it for my parents, they like itVery easy to use. SO far it has been very accurate. My parents found it easy to read the literature and start using it. Couldn't have asked for anything more. Rating: - omronIt is a very worthwhile investement for your health and well being. I'm happy with the product and would recomend it to anyone in need of such a convient and easy to use product. Rating:  - Easy to use BP monitorApparently, my blood pressure reads high when I am at the doctor's office, enough to make him a little concerned. I really would like to avoid meds so I agreed to test my pressure daily and chose this unit. It is easy to use and works well. It is interesting to see how BP changes during the course of the day depending upon activity. The history function of this model is a nice feature which allows me to take a reading then record it my log later. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
