Blood Preasure Moniter

Item was new when I got it and work the same way. I like this brand since the last one I bought lasted over six years. Would recomend the brand without reservation.

OMRON 712CLC is EXCELLENT!

I had to old original OMRON 712 and was shocked that they still had the same stock number. I thought the other one was easy to use and when the cuff finally failed, I tried to buy a new cuff, only to find that the entire machine was cheaper than a cuff. But the new meter is even easier to use and keeps the recent BP checks in memory so you can compare your last several. The cuff is much better than the old one but then, the old one was probably ten years old or more..... Now I can check my blood pressure when I get too excited while surfing on [...] , the world's largest Western Movie Superstore!

Takes Getting Used To

I am a fan of the wrist cuff. Mind you, the wrist cuff was giving me accurate readings in comparison to the doctor's, The wrist cuff was easy to carry and get a fast reading, record it, and in about a minute I was on my way. It was only because I got a seriously high reading from my wrist cuff (220/180) that sent me to the ER. When I got there, they took it on their monitor and said it was normal and released me, but told me to follow up with my doctor and told me wrist cuffs were not accurate, dismissing me even though I told them my BP does fluctuate wildly. I took another reading in the car on the way home and it was outrageously high again. I saw my doctor the next day and measured it once again against my wrist cuff, and it was still accurate, but also recommended an arm cuff to be sure.

I thought it couldn't hurt to have both, besides the American Heart Association recommends the arm cuff over the accuracy of a wrist cuff, and if the ER people were so quick to dismiss me, I looked around for a blood pressure monitor for a large arm. I found the Omron HEM-712CLC Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with Large Cuff.

Initially, it was frustrating to figure out. Aside from the instinctive things you could figure out on your own like where the batteries go, how to plug it in and where to stick the tube to the monitor, everything else was not so obvious.

The instruction book, the one most people would think of what to read first, showed how to use the normal cuff version which in no way resembled the large cuff. Fortunately, I found the little paper which showed mini directions on how to use the large cuff version.

The large cuff is big and cumbersome. There is a gray arrow pointing down where it should be aligned with your middle finger. At the same time, you have to wrap the cuff from under the metal band and hold it firmly in place and use the velcro to secure it. It says to use it on your left arm, which works only if you are right handed, even if you were, it takes many, many attempts to do this by yourself. I had to call my husband to help me put it on. Even when we followed the directions to a T, I sat very still for up to 3 minutes at times, trying to get a reading instead of E. After 13 attempts, I finally got a reading which was very high, I think because of the frustration.

I wanted to give this another chance. The next day I used it on my right arm. It was easier for me to maneuver it, but still more cumbersome than I liked. Like the night before, it took over 10 attempts to get a reading according to directions. I wanted to give it one more chance.

The next day, I was reclined in my bed, right arm out straight, arrow aligned correctly, holding the cuff in place with my chin while using my left hand to get the velcro in place. Finally, a reading on my first try! I did it in this method for the next few days and then took it to my doctor where the reading in this manner was accurate.

After getting used to finding a way to make this thing work for me (and I realize it is not according to directions and what works for me may not work for others), I think this is an okay product if you want readings at home at specific times of day. I use this for first thing in the morning and just before bed. I use my wrist cuff when I am on the go and feel the warning signs that I may be creeping into dangerous BP levels. You simply cannot take this large cuff on the go. That would be too much of a hassle.

For what it's worth, the cuff does what it is supposed to do if you can figure out how to use it. It is not the easiest thing in the world to get used to, but once you do, it's going to give you a good reading and record it. There is a function to take a few readings and get an average reading.

My favorite feature is the one that can for irregular heartbeats. I have complained about having heart palpitations to my doctor before who wrote it off as anxiety attacks because he could not detect such a thing when I got to his office. This cuff finally put to rest the state of my sanity by proving I was really having irregular heartbeats. For that feature alone, I like this cuff. Everything else about it, meh!
