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.

I took a reading 1 day ad my BP was 290/185 and a pulse of 178. While I was a bit concerned I realized I had just finished my 8th cup of coffee in an hour. I then fell down to the kitchen floor but was able to crawl to the phone and call 911. I truly believe if not for the monitor I would have been verklempt.

Comes quick in the mail. Impresive box and looks nice, big numbers and not too confusing to run if you dont use the “software”.
The cuff is stiff and hard to put on, why? Wouldnt a normal soft one be easier to use, and fit better?
Press the button and off it goes. Nice big letters. Nice too-high [10+] readings too often and result varies widely each time. Old cheap Braun was much closer to the real. Most monitors have signifigant errors and it is surprising how many error prone machines get into Dr’s offices. Of course the old fashioned manual is most acurate, but who wants to live in the past and be accurate. Get your exact-errors here.
“Software”? Like microsoft you always leave them wanting more, and you wont be dissapointed here. Its keeping with tradition in “software”, its bad. Confusing. hard to set up and the graphs are poorly identified.
However it looks as impressive as the MD in his white coat not knowing what you have or caring and thinking of the bill.

I purchased this unit with the hopes of being able to take my blood pressure on a daily basis. My health warrants that I monitor it closely. I tried taking my pressure at least 15 times before I got a reading. I kept getting error messages or no reading at all. The unit would show the number 7 and then the 60 seconds would show up and count backwards until it reached zero then the cuff would inflate again only to come back to no reading. I sent the unit back to amazon the next day. This unit is a piece of junk and it will cause your blood pressure to go up due to aggravation. I went to CVS and purchased their brand name unit for $25.00 less and it works perfect. Don’t waste your time or money on this unit.

I found this item to be very good, and amazon handled my purchase very good
Rating: 4 / 5
On the whole OMRON 711 has very good features. When you take readings, consistency within a short duration is what I would like to see. I have not seen this consistency with this instrument. However, this is what I have heard in general about all blood pressure monitors.
