Product Description Omron HEM 432C Digital Blood Pressure Monitor-Manual Inflation
Amazon.com Product Description Taking your blood pressure is easy with the lightweight and convenient Omron HEM-432C Manual Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor . This monitor comes equipped with a standard adult-sized cuff that fits arms nine-to-13 inches in circumference. Simply wrap the cuff around your arm and squeeze the bulb to begin inflation. In a few seconds your blood pressure and pulse readings are displayed on the large digital panel. Omron's monitors are clinically proven for accuracy so you can use the HEM-432C to track your blood pressure and pulse progress as your work towards a healthier lifestyle. 
The Omron HEM-432C delivers accurate, clinically-proven blood pressure readings in the comfort of your own home. | 
To take an accurate reading, first position the marker so it is centered on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger. | 
Next, place your arm on a table so the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart. | Instructions for Manual Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors There are several easy steps to taking your blood pressure with this 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 blue marker; position this marker so it is centered on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger. Next, secure the cuff with the closure strip. 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, begin inflating the cuff by rapidly squeezing the inflation bulb until you have reached approximately 30-40 mmHg higher than your normal systolic reading. If your normal systolic blood pressure reading is unknown, inflate the cuff to 180 mmHg (never inflate higher than 299 mmHg). When the desired pressure has been achieved, release the inflation bulb. Once inflation stops, the measurement is started. As the cuff deflates, decreasing numbers will appear on the display. When the measurement is complete the Heartbeat symbol stops flashing and your blood pressure and pulse rates are displayed on the screen. And remember, always consult your physician for specific information about your blood pressure. 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.

The IntelliSense Monitor inflates the cuff to the ideal level with each use. No adjustments are required by the user 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 more likely to fluctuate. The advantage is fast personalized inflation for maximum comfort. What is a ComFit cuff? The patented pre-formed cuff expands to fit regular and large arms comfortably and easily. How is an Irregular Heartbeat Shown? This advanced monitor can detect irregular heartbeats while your blood pressure is being measured. If an irregular heartbeat is detected, an accurate blood pressure reading is displayed along with the irregular heartbeat symbol. What is Morning Hypertension? The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends you take blood pressure readings in the early morning and evening. With the touch of a button you can review an eight week history of your morning and evening weekly blood pressure averages.

Good Monitor October 26, 2009 Cold Climate (Upstate New York) Unit works very well and is accurate. At times it does have a number of error readings which prevent the machine from giving results. Very pleased and easy to use.
OMRON HEM-432C IS A STAR October 26, 2009 Jerry M. Lowrey (TEXAS) THIS MONITOR IS EASY TO USE. I HAD IT CHECKED AT MY DR'S OFFICE AND IT WAS RIGHT ON. I DO WISH IT WOULD KEEP A COMPLETE AVERAGE NOT JUST THE LAST THREE IN 10 MIN. IF YOU NEED A MONITOR YOU CAN'T GO WRONG WITH THIS ONE.
Great machine once you figure out the subtleties of getting a correct reading October 5, 2009 Renee (CA) I have low blood pressure, not high, so the first five or so times I used it I was dismayed to see that it read ridiculously high. But as I used it over those 5 to 10 times, I figured out exactly how much to tighten the cuff on my arm before inflating (tighten too much before, it will read high, tighten too little and it will either read high or give you an error). Once I figured this out, I have had only 1 high reading, and I've been using it for about 3 weeks. Also, make sure you sit for a couple of minutes before taking the reading, etc. - there are instructions in the manual regarding how to sit, etc.
Great machine September 15, 2009 Glenn Campbell Jr. Bought this as a replacement for a dead bp unit and this one has great features and works very well. Omron units come highly recommended by my doctor.
OK, but I would prefer a manual release. September 8, 2009 Dale E. Marxen (Zagreb, Croatia) 1 out of 1 found this review helpful
I haven't used this monitor very much, but it appears to take quite a long time to release, and I prefer the manual release models.
