Each Omron blood pressure comes with IntelliSense technology. IntelliSense technology automatically inflates the cuff to the ideal level for each reading. In other words, IntelliSense technology is like having personalized inflation of the cuff every time. The result is accurate measurements each time.

When applying an Omron blood pressure cuff you want to be sure not wrap it too tight or too loose, since either condition will result in an inaccurate reading. To ensure that the cuff is applied properly, first remove any tight fitting clothing from your left arm. Once the cuff is around your arm, be sure that the bottom of the cuff is roughly one half inch above your elbow. With the cuff secured in place, you should be able to easily fit one finger between your arm and the cuff. This space is very important for an accurate reading.

Omron offers two types of inflation mechanisms for each cuff. The first is manual inflation which requires the user to manually squeeze an inflation bulb to inflate the cuff to the desired level. While this type of monitor is the most affordable, it may not be ideal for individuals who suffer from arthritis or other weakness in the hands. Omron has just one model (HEM-432C) with manual inflation.

The second and most popular type of inflation is automatic. These monitors inflate to the ideal level, each and every time, at the simple touch of a button (see IntelliSense technology above). For obvious reasons, this type of Omron blood pressure cuff provides greater convenience. Omron offers several automatic inflation blood pressure models.

To achieve the most efficient workout, it is recommended that you maintain your heart rate at the appropriate level for a minimum of twenty minutes. The appropriate level is typically 65% to 85% of your maximum heart rate. Of course, if you have any questions your maximum heart rate or proper workout heart rate, you should consult your physician.

This site has lots of information on the various Omron blood pressure monitors. These are highly accurate and the #1 doctor recommended choice when it comes to in-office as well in-home testing. However, if you are looking for an instrument to monitor your heart rate during exercise (as opposed to your pulse rate which the Omron blood pressure monitors also provide), Omron offers a heart rate monitor for those looking for such a device.

The Omron HR-100C heart rate monitor has many features. The monitor looks like, and is worn just like, a wrist watch. It is easy to program and is water resistant (as is the chest transmitter). If you wish, you can mount the watch receiver to most treadmills and bicycles using the mounting bracket that comes with the monitor. It has a backlight function and alarm option to signal low and high heart rates. The watch band is ventilated to help when working up a sweat during workouts. The Omron HR-100C also features a time of day display and allows you to set daily reminders (with alarm option). It includes a soft, zippered case for storage and comes with a one year warranty.

Ask most any healthcare provider and you will hear many reasons why Omron digital blood pressure monitors are the number one doctor recommended brand. Omron’s BP monitors offer a wide range of features to meet most any diagnostic need. For example, the Omron HEM-780 was the first BP monitor to detect morning hypertension, a potential predictor of increased risk of stroke, and the Omron HEM-790IT includes Omron Health Management PC Software allows you to track your BP readings over time and to easily share this important information with your doctor.

Omron digital blood pressure monitors are easy to operate, usually only requiring you to wrap the cuff around the upper arm (or wrist for the wrist models) and press start. In just seconds you will be able to read your BP and pulse rate measurements on a large digital display.

The automatic inflation of the cuff is accomplished by Omron’s IntelliSense technology. Exclusive to Omron, IntelliSense technology automatically determines the correct amount of pressure required in the cuff to quickly and comfortably take a measurement of your blood pressure. This results in correct measurement every time.

Omron digital blood pressure monitors are available in both upper arm and wrist models. The upper arm monitors are typically the type you would see in your doctor’s office, while the wrist monitors are mostly used for in-home BP monitoring. Wrist BP monitors are smaller and more easily transported, making them ideal for in-home care givers as well as self-monitoring by patients themselves.

Called wrist blood pressure monitors, they have become more popular as health professionals more actively encourage the use of home monitoring.

To help meet this demand, Omron has a full line of quality wrist blood pressure monitors. These monitors are tested thoroughly for accuracy and automatically inflate with the simple push of a button.
