OMRON RS7 Intelli IT Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor for Home Use/on The Go - Clinically Validated BP Monitor Incl Use on Obese People, Blood Pressure Machine with Free Smartphone App

As an autistic person with sensory issues and dangerously high BP, I cannot use a upper arm cuff without getting majorly overwhelmed. So getting an accurate BP measurement has been impossible until now. This wrist cuff BP monitor has literally been life changing. 1) It is silent. So I'm not getting stressed by hearing the motor gearing up as it goes past the 180 systolic mark. 2) the pressure on the wrist is much less overstimulating than pressure on the upper arm so, again, less stress 3) It's easier to put on than the upper arm cuff if you have coordination struggles. 4) You don't have to strip off your sweater in a cold room to take your BP, so less sensory stress 5) It tells me if I'm doing it wrong with the indicator light 6) it records on a phone app and works out the average reading itself, so I can just copy it down and give to the GP. After years of struggling to provide the GP with BP readings I've finally been able to keep regular records. Because of this my BP is now being treated appropriately.

If you follow the instructions this product is easy to use. Both of us have found it much better to use then an upper arm cuff monitor. Results link directly to our Samsung health app (others are available). It has made the task of regularly checking our BP much easier and with less pain. Highly recommend.

Excellent blood pressure monitor which connects to your smart phone and keeps a useful record in the Omron app. Best feature: It is totally silent. Wish list: Just one item: An led to illuminate the display.

I bought this because my old Omron RS6 was left in the office at the start of lockdown. The RS7 seems to be an evolution of the RS6 with BT pairing and an app to store readings and show trends to make it easier to track and analyse results. Overall impressions are very similar to the older RS6. Good: Silent and vibration free, it really is spooky to think that the wrist band is being inflated when there is no noise or vibration Very simple to use The app is intuitive, pairing is very simple and it does help to track results Clear display Nicely made Bad: Not a lot, there are cheaper alternatives Still some debate on the accuracy of wrist band types Probably the main concern for many is whether a wrist band type is accurate enough. I see some negative reviews here but I find both this and my older RS6 give results closely aligned with arm band types and results taken by my GP or in hospital. I'm not saying it is absolutely accurate, but it is closely aligned with medical grade devices used by doctors and hospitals and I am confident that the results give a good indication. The flip side of course is that a wrist band type is much more compact, portable and unobtrusive. Omron supply a hard shell carry case and it is easy to slip it into a pocket or lap top bag or such like. The big difference between this and my RS6 is BT pairing with a phone app. Previously I wasn't a fan of connected BP monitors as it seemed a bit of a pfaff and more trouble than it was worth, but I have to say pairing was extremely quick and simple and the phone app does work well so it is a function I would now recommend. As with most Omron products, you can get cheaper alternatives, but Omron generally have a sense of quality and dependability which is worth paying for in my experience, and when I think of what else I spend money on and the importance of BP monitoring this isn't especially expensive. Highly recommended, 5*.

A brilliant piece of kit - so easy to use!

Love this. I always have problems with trying to fit a cuff around my arm. The Omron RS7 fits so easily around your wrist, you can even do it yourself. It is easy to use and and easy to read the results. It saves the recordings for two people. Excellent quality and well worth the price.

I bought this to replace a Boots' wrist blood pressure monitor thinking it might be more accurate. Unfortunately it is as (un)reliable as the Boots' model. I have checked it against my Omron arm BP monitor and it shows inconsistent results. I have checked my Omron arm Cuff against a mercury sphygmomanometer (BP machine) which is generally regarded as the gold standard of clinical BP measurement and they correlate accurately. Nearly all wrist BP machines are less reliable than an upper arm cuff monitor so it is not surprising that this model is so unreliable. It can however give an idea of trends. For instance, I use mine to assess the effect of exercise on the BP and it can show the direction of change and the degree of change. So I find it helpful in that respect. There is a light that tells you when the cuff is at the right level for taking the BP. Unfortunately this only works when standing or sitting upright. Any degree of slouch or reclining (for instance those who check the BP whilst in bed when unwell) will result in the indicator showing that the cuff is too high and only comes on when the cuff is at the level of the stomach. I know it is said that the way to a man's heart is through his stomach but this is carrying that too far! I get round this by placing my arm so that the cuff is directly over the heart. Another problem is the App. It generally works well but will combine readings and give an average. This is fine in general if readings are taken relatively close to one another for general use. However, if the purpose is to see the effect of, say, different degrees of exercise on the BP then it would be useful to have the graphs show the individual measurements. I can only get around this by going to the list section and transferring individual readings manually to another programme. No instruction manual came for the App and therefore it is a bit of hit and miss to find a way around the App. The problems with readings I have mentioned above are likely to be a problem with any wrist BP measurement. The good thing about this model is the ability to transfer the readings to my iPad for detailed assessment. It is much slower than my other BP machines but is very quiet

Exactly what I required.Easy to use.Size is good can take it with you everywhere.

Très contente merci

La possibilità di condividere i dati con il medico tramite app rappresenta un valore aggiunto per chi segue terapie o vuole tenere sotto controllo la propria salute in modo proattivo

The best wrist device

Cela faisait des années que la prise de ma tension était devenue difficile, les tensiomètres à brassard me provoquant un stress important qui faussait les mesures. Ce tensiomètre au poignet est, au contraire, très confortable d’utilisation : Le brassard est doux, adapté à mon petit poignet, il est silencieux, indique clairement si la position est correcte et permet de l’ajuster facilement si nécessaire. Grâce à lui, je peux enfin prendre ma tension sans anxiété et obtenir des résultats fiables.

Su pequeño tamaño permite llevarlo en cualquier viaje. Su manejo es muy sencillo y el ajuste muy cómodo. Además es silencioso, y la presión que se ejerce sobre la muñeca es más leve que un manguito de brazo. Se ajusta perfectamente y dispone de sensores para indicar si está mal colocado, porque hay que apoyar el codo y flexionar el brazo para que la muñeca esté a la altura del corazón. La conexión con el móvil es sencilla y permite llevar un registro preciso de la tensión arterial. Para mayor exactitud la aplicación pide que se realicen dos mediciones. Muy satisfecho con el producto.
