Omron 3 Series Upper Arm Blood Pressure Unit

Although there is some wiggle room in cuff sizes, making sure it handles your arm size can boost the monitor’s accuracy, as well as your comfort level. When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol will appear on the display with the measurement values. An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is 25% less or 25% more than the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. Our OMRON 3 Series Wrist home blood pressure monitor is designed for people who want ease and portability with clinically validated accuracy.

Sit with your back on the back of the chair, feet flat on the floor, and legs uncrossed. Understanding your readings is easy with the omron 3 series blood pressure monitor. The easy-to-read screen displays your readings in large font and labels each number with a tab along the side. Your heart is your most important organ, and it’s a good idea to know how well it’s doing. With Omron home blood pressure monitors, you consistently get an accurate picture of your heart’s health. This arm monitor has an irregular heartbeat detector and includes a one-size-fits-most cuff.

OMRON Series 3 Upper Arm BP Monitor features the Irregular Heartbeat Indicator to detect fluctuations or irregular heartbeats while measuring blood pressure. If irregularities are detected outside of normal parameters, an indicator icon will alert users. Blood pressure is normally taken at the arm because it is at approximately the same height as the heart. If you sit with incorrect posture, it will have an effect on your blood pressure.

Movements in the blood are detected by sensors in the cuff monitoring the movement through your brachial artery, then converting this into a digital reading. As with their wrist BPMs, the Omron BP710N uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. There appears to be no peer-reviewed clinical validation information available on the omron 3 series technology used in the Omron BP7100 (HEM-7121-Z2) 3 Series to measure blood pressure. If someone living with you also needs to conduct regular blood pressure checks, the unit can switch back and forth, even storing the information. This can get confusing, though, since you’ll have to make sure the unit is on your file each time you use it.

This is to determine whether the Omron 3 Series is the best home blood pressure monitor for you. Our quick and easy model utilizes a simple one touch mode, which can store up to 14 readings at a time while still giving an accurate reading every time you monitor. To obtain an accurate reading, it is important to use the correct cuff size. A cuff that is too small will result in a higher than expected reading and a cuff that is too large will result in a lower than expected reading. With your arm hanging at the side of your body, measure the circumference of your upper arm at the midpoint between the shoulder and elbow. If the measurement is 9” to 13”, this is the right cuff size for you.
