Omron M10-IT Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor with Dual User Facility with Dual Size Cuff

I bought this item after long research online. Item arrived within 36 hours. I am a big 150kg man so was wondering if the cuff will fit my hand. But when I got the item I realized cuff would fit even probably double size man with huge biceps. The cuff fits my wife's hand as well, although she is small and her weight is only 50kg. And we don't need to swap cuffs every time we take measurements as the same cuff designed to fit both - small and big sizes. It will definitely fit even a 5 years old child. This monitor measures very quick compared to my previous monitors and it takes around 20 seconds from the start pumping the air to the end when readings are ready. It also shows you when your heart beat is irregular. There is also very handy thing user selection. I am user A and she is user B. I wanted to take three measurements per two minutes and see the average and she is taking just one measurement so I programmed user A to take three measurements and give the average readings and user B I left on default settings. So each time when we use the monitor just have to switch the switcher to position A or position B and it knows how to take readings. Then I can connect it to my computer (before you have install a program from cd which came in the box)and to see all readings, print them to show your GP, compare them, see how you get on say in the mornings compared to evenings and much much more. So in totally I am happy with this monitor and will recommend to everyone as it is accurate, user friendly and affordable monitor.

This is a clinically accurate device - compared to results a surgery there is no difference - readings can/will be higher/lower because blood pressure does vary and this is to be expected. This is a feature rich version of the M6. Allows PC upload of data and has the advantage of averaging 3 measurements made morning or night and recalling these including a weekly average. PC upload and printout to a PDF file allows data to be given to a GP with almost no effort and no chance of errors. Compared to M7 the M10 includes a cuff with only half the length of tubing. OK for self measurement but probably not enough for a static monitor or one operated by someone else e.g. at the doctors - but since this isn't intended for professional use it's OK. Compared to M6 or M7 the M10 includes memory recall but only stepping back (can't go forwards) but since the readings can be downloaded to a PC the need to step forwards and backwards isn't a problem and probably simplifies the process of recalling measurements. The display is very large and the large cuff is a benefit - as a man with average arms I'm at the limit of a standard cuff and it's useful to measure my arm and those of my partner. The best feature of this monitor over M6 or M7 is the ability to record two sets of measurements A or B e.g. Mr or Mrs within a family. If there is a need to measure another person e.g. a son or daughter this can be done as a guest user. The measurements as a guest are just as valid but have to be be manually written down - no averaging or saving of data. I do question the ability of the device to average three readings made at 15, 30, 60 or 120 sec intervals because this contradicts the requirement to wait 3+ minutes between taking readings to allow the arm to recover however someone might like to say why this is OK. This type of measurement is optional so it's not an issue if you don't need it. Compared to M7 the device switches on by pressing any button so there is no need to press start button to recall memory or take a measurement so it really is one touch to turn on and take a measurement although pressing Start again will turn it off sooner and save batteries. The display is a delight - very large and very clear. Batttery life is also 1400+ measurements vs 300+ of M7. I compared it to the M7 because it replaces M7 as the Omron device with Comfort Cuff. M6 is only worth considering if it's a lot cheaper - only the ability to scroll through memory on M6 in both directions is an advantage and the PC connectivity on M10 is a bonus. The ability to make measurements in morning and evening my not be significant. If after using the device for a few weeks, if there are no differences, then this could be considered a gimic or if it did highlight a problem then it's a benefit. Either way it doesn't need to be used. So the disadvantages of a shorter tube (not a problem) or scrolling forwards (not just backwards) through memory might be considered disadvantages however all the additional benefits are available but only if required. Overall there isn't much not to like.

I spent quite a bit of time trying to determine which blood pressure monitor to purchase. There are a myriad of devices out there that suit every single pocket but it is very hard to find suitable buying guides. In the end I found that the best two products in this price range on the market appear to be the Omron 10 series or the Microlife. I chose the Omron because they are a better known brand and I have used their products before. Many GP's recommend this particular brand too so it seemed to be the right choice. There are a myriad of professional studies out there comparing the two and most seem to suggest that they are both good at what they do. I chose this over the Omron elite model for two reasons. The 10 series appear to be a more reliable model, plus the batteries are AA and not AAA which means you won't be forever changing them. Upon first use you are prompted to enter the date, time and year. You also can select whether you want a single test or a triple test. The latter effectively meaning the unit will run three tests in succession with a user set time gap in between. I opted for 15 seconds, but you can have a larger gap of time should you wish. From memory I believe it goes up in 15 second gaps up to a minute or so. You also have a sliding bar on the right hand side to select between user A and user B. This is handy for couples but I guess if you have a larger family then you will have to use the guest mode for any more than 2 people. The benefit of having two user modes are that you can keep a track of the last 88 tests performed, handy if you suffer from Hypertension/Hypotension and need to keep a track of your progress. It is also handy to be able to provide your doctor with your results with the provided USB cable and software. To use the device, you simply put the arm band on your left arm, get in a seated position, then press start. It is important here to relax and not move as it can affect the results. Do not try to do this test in a laying position and your pressure will be different. Depending on what mode you have selected previously when setting up, the machine will run a single or a triple test. Your results are displayed on screen in a large easy to read screen. You can hit the memory button on the bottom to cycle through your previous readings to check on your progress. It lists the date and time of each test you have performed which is very useful. It is so very easy to use and once you have set it up you pretty much don't have to worry about how to use it, just one button and go. The arm band is much better than the older omron units. It is cushioned to a degree and feels very hard, like it has a formed insert inside that keeps its shape. The fit will suit most people as well. It's as comfortable as you get although you will never find a blood pressure monitor that doesn't make you feel uncomfortable as the test is performed. The device comes with batteries which is always a nice touch and the whole lot is packaged up in a handy zip case.

Just received this and had it set-up and used within moments, all very simple and easy to follow. I have big arms and the cuff is plenty big enough (yet hospitals have to rummage around to find a cuff for me!) Did seem very tight when taking my BP, almost to the point of pain, but this may ease off or I will just get used to it. A VERY good price for what seems a real quality product. It is listed on the British Blood Pressure Associations' web site as one they endorse so that gave me some reassurance too. There is good software with it so you can log and monitor your BP on a daily/weekly/monthly basis with a variety of options for display and recording. I also like the fact that you can convert/move the data into other programs like "Excel"; alternatively you can print it off or convert to a pdf file for emailing etc. You do not need any special computer skills to do any of it, simple navigation and simple `click' actions. You may like to note that it does not come with a mains adapter although these can be bought separately at an additional cost, but it does come with the batteries so you can use it straight away. It all packs away in a neat carry case for safe storage. As I said it is early days but my first impressions are very good and based on those I would recommend it. (The only reason I haven't scored it 5 stars is because I haven't used it for long enough to judge it durability yet)

I bought this as my family - certainly on the male side - tend towards early heart problems and I wanted to keep an eye on things. On top of that I have to have an offshore medical every two years and like most, suffer from 'White Coat Syndrome' giving me elevated blood pressure results. My wife suggested that I get a monitor and get used to using it. That way hopefully I can keep an eye on my health as far as one can, and reduce the hypertension that I suffer when the doctor straps on the cuff. So is it any good? Well I chose this one because the last two medicals I had in two different surgeries had a similar Omron one. In fact one was lower down the range, so I figured that if I get one that is used by a doctor then it's probably fairly good. Use is simple and as far as I can see idiot proof. If you don't put it on correctly it will come up with an error message when it pumps up. However it's is genuinely easy to use by yourself because there is a blue line for lining up on the arm and the cuff is semi-rigid so you can put it on with one hand. In other words you don't need a third party helper that may not be available at the time. It has a memory and it comes with a program that you install on your PC to monitor the results that you can download via USB. All simple and easy. The internal memory will remember 85 results and you can choose A or B person. That way you and your partner can record results without getting mixed up. The nice thing about the A or B choice is that it is not a multi choice menu item either - you simple slide a switch on the right hand side. Build quality it top notch. I assume that as doctors surgeries use this machine it must get a fair bit of use without failing, so it's unlikely to fall over in normal household use. Accuracy seems to follow how I feel. If I'm stressed a bit and I know my blood pressure is up, the machine bears this out and visa verso. The screen is large and easy to read and gives you all you need to know for general health checking. Overall if you are like me well into middle age then I suggest this would make a good addition as it may just help you out.

I like the apparatus. It's generally easy to use and gives accurate readings, and the arm cuff is comfortable and easy to fit around the arm. My arm is medium size, but the cuff is quite large and I'm sure would fit larger arms (after I fit it, there is still much more space than I need). I mainly bought this monitor for its ability to save and transfer readings to computer via the USB cable, which is really handy, so that I don't worry about taking the readings myself. I end up with a pdf file with all the saved readings (as long as you don't change the batteries I guess, it will save up to 84 readings, but I'm not up to that yet), which would give you/your doctor a general idea about the behavior of your blood pressure. It also can display weekly mediums of your readings, but I don't use it quite often. I'd rather compare single readings across a month or so. Battery consumption is not an issue too, I'm still running on the original batteries that came with it, for around two months ago (I take a reading every and other day). It also would save readings for two users. All in all, it's a very good monitor and I highly recommend. The only downside maybe its size. It's a bit bulky (compared to handcuff monitors), but even if you're a traveler you can fit it in a spacious handbag or backpack. If you're after accuracy and hi-tech options, it's worth it sacrificing the size. Handcuff monitors are not the most accurate anyway, and hence less reliable. p.s. the first few attempts of transferring data to a computer failed, later I realize I have to push the cable all the way into the monitor (I used to insert it half way, not realizing there is more to go, and since all electronics are delicate I didn't want to force it and risk breaking anything). After that it worked properly. I setup the software on windows xp and 8 and it functions properly on both.

Yes, we had a wrist cuff monitor before purchasing this one. I was surprised at how big this one was when opened but it sits in a neat zipped bag so it's not conspicuous sitting in our living room ready for use. A big plus is that it performs all features from simple dedicated buttons so you don't have to work through computerised menus which I hate. A simple slide switch changes between user A and user B and it even has self adhesive name plates that can be stuck on although we decided we could remember which one of us was A and who was B without this. I like being able to plug it into my laptop where it downloads its data so that you can see all your history and even get graphs allowing you to see how things are progressing over time. I had opted for a diet to reduce my blood pressure rather than take more pills so it's good (and motivating) to see that my pressure is going down over time. Regarding accuracy it is much more repeatable than our previous wrist cuff model so it is obviously more accurate. I saw a report that it was better than the one doctors use and therefore was overpriced. I thought that what we paid for this one was very good and the ability to computerise the history was worth any extra that might have been othewise saved on a cheaper model.

This was my first unit. I am exceptionally pleased with price, purchase process and product itself. I ordered online by credit card and seemingly within hours my product was delivered. Before purchase I had done EXTENSIVE online research to determine various units, options available and what options I actually needed. I needed dual users, memory, print capability, battery with mains capability (I ordered the adapter separately)and ability to take both pressure and pulse readings. I received this and more on the base unit with large easy to read displays that also provide general/warning indicators. The software provides excellent management of historical data allowing print or storage in multiple formats. I just printed information to take to the doctor with text and graphic display of the readings. With possibility of "whitecoat syndrome" these accurate and reliable home readings are vital for proper assessments. The additional user allows guest readings and is another bonus. Customer reviews had mentioned issues with mobility and cuff size. Unit size is no problem cuff size is a slight problem for my spouse, but not as I had imagined. Length is a problem because of her shorter upper arm length I think she experiences this with every unit - circumference around the arm is perfect for both of us. By my nature I read the manual before I touched the unit - I had it for about a week. I was totally familiar with the unit when I started taking readings and have had no problems. If I encounter any I feel confident with the manual, warranty and service contacts. Again this is my first unit so I have no comparisons, but at this point I am happy and recommend both the provider and product. Benjamin H. Johnson III

Appareil de bonne qualité, validé par l'AFSSAPS et le BHS (france et angleterre). La mesure est rapide, environ 30 secondes. Il est possible de faire trois mesures automatiquement espacées d'une minute (par exemple), ce qui est une bonne pratique. Le brassard est bien pensé, facile à mettre. L'afficheur est clair, avec la valeur systolique, diastolique, et la fréquence cardiaque. L'appareil garde les 84 dernières mesures. Cela fait environ 9 jours à raison de trois fois par jour avec à chaque fois trois mesures. C'est bien sans être énorme. On peut avoir deux utilisateurs, qui ont chacun 84 mesures. Les mesures sont récupérables sur ordinateur (windows linux osx) pour avoir un relevé simple et des courbes d'évolution. Voir si la tension monte, diminue, si elle est bien le matin ou pas, le soir ou pas, est impliquant et peut aider à suivre un régime ou traitement. Seul reproche: couvercle des piles qui ne tient pas bien. Mettre un bout de ruban adhésif. Livré avec une sacoche et plein d'accessoires que je n'utilise pas vraiment. Appareil recommandé.

Wer so langsam in ein gehobenes Alter kommt, ist gut beraten ein wenig auf seine Gesundheit zu achten. Dieses Gerät leistet dazu eine wertvolle Hilfe. Klare Ergebnisse, gut ablesbar. Mitgeliefert dazu eine Software die es erlaubt Aufzeichnungen zu machen in tabellarischer Form. Unter Umständen mal hilfreich für einen Arztbesuch. Auch die Anwendung ist recht simpel. Dabei ist es auch möglich Aufzeichnungen für unterschiedliche Anwender zu machen, da das Gerät für 2 Hauptanwender und einen Gastanwender ausgelegt ist. Alles gut aufbewahrt in einer mitgelieferten Aufbewahrungstasche.

il est bien conçu, il est facile à utiliser, les piles durent longtemps.(j'ai lu les autres commentaires, mais franchement, il n'est pas nécessaire d'acheter le raccord secteur, il faut mettre des piles de bonne qualité, c'est tout). L'écran est bien lisible, bref, c'est un super appareil. Le brassard est facile à enfiler sur le bras et à positionner. Ce modèle permet de programmer très facilement un cycle de prises de tension. Vous sélectionnez le programme et l'appareil va automatiquement faire trois mesures espacées d'une minute, puis mémoriser celles-ci, en les classant selon que vous les avez faites le matin ou le soir. Au bout de trois jours, vous avez votre historique de 18 mesures, que vous pouvez visualiser, par mesure, moyenne de 3, moyenne matin, moyenne soir, ou moyenne sur le total. Ce principe correspond à ce que préconisent les cardiologues. Petite remarque: la norme internationale fixe les limites à 135 pour la pression systolique et 85 pour la pression diastolique.En France, on est sur 14 - 9, ce qui fait que les alertes de l'appareil doivent être pondérées. Si vous voulez pousser plus loin l'historique de vos mesures, le CD est facile à installer sur un PC et permet de visualiser davantage de données, mais là, il faut être accro à sa tension!! Dernière info, ce modèle peut servir à deux personnes en même temps grâce à un poussoir A - B

Même avec cet acticle venant du royaume uni, aucun problème commandé le 24 mai reçu le 3 juin (avant le 12 juin date maxi) Notice détaillée en Fr ainsi que pour le logiciel (attention lors de l'instal bien sélectionner Fr sinon pour défaut c'est anglais) Juste un petit bémol, pendant le transport, carton bien cabossé mais avec le rebourage bulle d'air (certaines ont claquées sous le choc, mais le carton de l'appareil est resté, intact ainsi que l'appareil) Pour en revenir au tensiomêtre c'est un bon produit assez précis, facile à se servir pas compliqué, il faut bien suivre les explications assez simple. Une fois la mise à jour de l'heure faite, ça roule même chose pour le logiciel, sympa les graphiques. En sélectionnant le fournisseur le moins cher, en fin de compte il reviendrait plus cher avec les variation des frais de livraison donc faire son calcul "franco de port" (72€ revient moins cher que 65€...) Les fournisseurs français (tant pis pour eux) sont 25% plus chers ainsi que pour le port j'avais le choix avec l'italie et la Suisse, délais plus longs

ZUM BLUTDRUCKMESSGERÄT (4 Sterne): + Sehr übersichtlich, sehr gut ablesbar, Grundfunktionen einfach zu bedienen + Messung erfolgt während des Aufpumpens (relativ schnell, leise und angenehm) + 2 Personen können ihre Werte getrennt speichern + Gästemessung ohne Speicherung möglich (etwas umständlich, aber geht) . Kleine Einschränkungen: - Wenn vor der Messung irrtümlich die falsche Person eingestellt war, werden deren Messwerte nach Abschluss ohne Löschmöglichkeit der verkehrten Person zugeordnet. Dass es besser geht, beweist das Panasonic EW-BU75: Dort erfolgt die Zuordnung erst NACH der Messung. - dass die Batterien nur innnerhalb einer festgelegten Uhrzeit gewechselt werden sollen, erschließt sich mir nicht Ob die angezeigten Werte genau sind, kann ich nicht beurteilen - ebensowenig wie die Genauigkeit einer Messung durch den Arzt. Die Armmanschette passt bei uns für zwei erwachsene Personen mit unterschiedlichem Armumfang, für kurze Oberarme dürfte sie jedoch 2-3 cm kürzer sein. ZUR SOFTWARE (5 Sterne): + 2 Personen können mit Klarnamen getrennt verwaltet werden + sehr einfach zu bedienen + entgegen der Beschreibung an anderer Stelle vollständig in deutsch Auch für Anwender, die keine große PC-Erfahrung haben, lassen sich recht einfach übersichtliche Wertetabellen - getrennt nach Personen - drucken. Den gewünschten Zeitraum kann man vorher festlegen, die Uhrzeit der Messung wird mit ausgedruckt. Wenn entsprechende Software vorhanden ist (Excel, aber auch kostenfreie wie LibreOffice oder OpenOffice), öffnet sich diese Tabelle durch einfachen Doppelklick; Herzschlag-Unregelmäßigkeiten oder Fehlmessungen werden automatisch gekennzeichnet. Die Speicherung ohne weiteres Zutun auf der Desktop-Oberfläche ist äußerst praktisch, weil man damit die erzeugte Datei nicht irgendwo im System suchen muss. Ich schildere dies deswegen so ausführlich, weil z.B. mit dem Panasonic EW-BU75 eine solche detailreiche Auswertung nicht möglich ist; die des Aponorm Professional (microlife) scheint vom Lehrling programmiert zu sein und ist schlicht nicht brauchbar (und nach zwei Jahren Gebrauch war das Aponorm defekt). Für PC-affine User: Speicherung erfolgt wahlweise im csv- oder pdf-Format. Die vom Gerät übernommenen Daten (Access-Datenbank im mdb-Format, PW lässt sich ergoogeln) werden defaultmäßig leider nur im Programmordner abgelegt (es gibt keine Pfad-Option). Läuft auch auf 64bit Systemen (Win 7). Hinweis: Wenn nur Windows 8 vorhanden ist, sollte man die Lauffähigkeit vor Erwerb klären (vielleicht hat dazu jemand Erkenntnisse?) Übrigens erfolgte die Lieferung durch ein deutsches Sanitätshaus über Amazon, ein Netzgerät war dabei.
