Next, place your arm on a table so the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart.
Omron Health Management Software
Take your health to the next level with the included Omron Health Management Software. This PC software provides a blood pressure and pulse graph that lets you see how your values are trending over time. A morning/evening comparison graph tracks your morning and evening systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. You can also view your most common values and identify variations by time frame with the frequency distribution graph. The software is simple to use, and it supports multiple users. With just one click, you can download data via the HEM-790IT's USB connection and see graphically displayed measurements on your computer screen in seconds.

Instructions for Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors
There are several easy steps to taking your blood pressure with this blood pressure 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.

5 out of 5 stars Reliable, consistent, durable and accurate.   November 30, 2007
 62 out of 63 found this review helpful

Outstanding quality, consistency and accuracy! At the end of the day that is all you can ask from a blood pressure cuff (sphygmomanometer). A few things to bear in mind: In consecutive readings done at the same time, you will see a trend from higher to lower blood pressure as you "learn" to lower your own pressure. Also, your blood pressure at home will be lower than that you obtain at your doctor's office until you learn to overcome the anxiety normally associated with the doctor's office. This is normal and is one of the main reasons to obtain a home blood pressure monitor. Also, your pressure will fluctuate from day to day and even during a blood pressure monitoring session.

Let me give you an example: My heart rate is anywhere from 52 to 58. As the blood pressure cuff deflates your systolic pressure is the first pulse that the unit detects. The cuff pressure deflates 5-10 mm between each heart beat. So, depending on the timing of your pulse, your pressure reading will fluctuate approximately 5-10 mm systolic and diastolic. When your pressure is taken manually the operator can regulate the rate of deflation of the cuff so as to reduce the measurement error. So don't automatically assume that the gauge is not giving accurate readings! Trust me, it is.

This monitor has been extensively tested against measurements obtained at the doctor's office and has been determined to be as accurate a method of determining blood pressure as you would obtain at the doctor's office - actually, more accurate since the anxiety factor is eliminated.

For some reason, when I purchased this item, it was cheaper than the Omron HEM-780, so purchasing it was a no brainer! I saved $5. Is it worth a little more than the HEM-780? It does have a few more bells and whistles including the software. But it is essentially the same unit. If you think you'd use the software which is kind of slick then by all means get this unit rather than the 780. Personally, I would definitely pay MORE, now that I have it and have used it, for this unit. The software if very helpful in keeping your BP records. Otherwise, the units are nearly identical in producing consistent accurate results.

So if you are looking for the best home blood monitor device on the market look no further. Just realize that there are minor variances in the readings attributable to fluctuations in your blood pressure and slight measurement error. I would also recommend the unit with the software - this can come in very handy in tracking your BP and its fluctuations. It also can provide you with a printed record of your readings for your doctor.

I heartily endorse this product.



4 out of 5 stars This one works - but....   August 24, 2007
 38 out of 42 found this review helpful

I like it - it works. The software keeps track - but the software needs work.
I wrote to the company - there are several issues:
1. There's no way to edit the data. With two users it's easy to not have the right one selected when you take a reading. After uploading, the only way to edit the data is to export to Excel, edit, erase the database and then import the corrected data.
2. It's stored in an Access database, but it's password protected - why?
3. The user cannot direct where the database is kept, it's in the Programs folder on the OS drive.

The device works great, but the software...



2 out of 5 stars She's a no work   August 21, 2007
 36 out of 39 found this review helpful

I just got the product, and set it up according to the very clear instructions. IMO, the manual is too much paper for such a simple-to-use device. After getting rid of all the "don't take a hair-dryer into the bathtub" idiot warnings, the instructions boil down to about three pages.

The product is simple to use, and it presents its results in a nice big font. Even a bear-of-very-little-brain such as myself should have no problems. It's packaged well, the unit is clean and attractive, and everything fits together nicely in the enclosed carrying case.

Unfortunately, it doesn't work.

By coincidence, I had a doctor's appointment this afternoon. This morning, I got the product set up and used it several times over the course of about an hour. It consistently showed my BP in the range of 150/110, plus or minus maybe 7 points.

"Oh crap! Time to increase my BP medication."

So I went to the doctor's office, and got tested by the nurse there. 120/70. "Good number!" she said. I was so upset over the Omron result that I asked her to check it again to be sure. Still good.

Maybe, I thought, it was the dreaded "morning hypertension," a key factor in strokes (!!). In fact, I had never heard of morning hypertension until I started looking at home BP products. But forewarned is forearmed, right?

Well, I came home from the doctor's and ran the machine a few more times. 150/110.

I like this product, and I desperately want it to work for me. But I don't think that "just subtract 40 points" is a good plan to keep using it. I'm going to get in touch with tech support and see what they tell me.

For what it's worth, I'm a big guy. I'm over 6'4", and my bicep is at the upper end of the sleeve measurement - maybe that's part of the problem. I hope not, because I didn't see anything about a super-large sleeve being available.

All the other reviews on the product are positive, and that's a good sign - maybe I just got a bad one. But if you do buy this product, I strongly recommend you confirm the readings, especially if they are high, before you panic. I paniced first, but fortunately my doctor's appointment was able to calm me down a few hours later.



4 out of 5 stars Omron HEM-790IT Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Advanced Omron Health Management Software   July 21, 2007
 21 out of 21 found this review helpful

The hardware works great, but the management software needs improvement.

1. The window can not maximize to fit the screen.
2. The printing of graphs includes menus and other non-essential items. It should maximize the graph.
3. The printing of the data list does not allow to print the entire data, unless the data is exported to EXCEL.
4. The software can not display arbitrary intervals,i.e., the end of a month to the next month, a two week interval, etc.
5. The software should be able to graph the statistical trend lines.
6. The software should be able to graph the week-to-week comparizon.

There are many more suggestions, but I can do what I want to do with data in EXCEL. Therefore, it is not a problem for me.

Great product. Functions exactly as described. Be aware that as of September 2007, the Omron Health Management software is not qualified for Windows Vista and documentation indicates it will only run on Windows 2000 and XP. Omron told me they do not have a plan for qualifying it on Vista at this time. However, I tried installing it on Vista, skipping the installation of .Net Framework Version 1.0 (because Vista's .Net version at this time is 3.0). The installation proceeded without event and the software worked fine. Omron has a software update/documentation web presence where I assume a Vista-qualified version of software will be available when released.
