Amazon.com Product Description
Not only does the HEM-790IT Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor utilize Omron's patented IntelliSense technology, but it also features the innovative Comfit Cuff. The ComFit Cuff is pre-formed for a quick and proper fit that is perfect for both medium and large-sized arms (nine to 17 inches). It's easy to apply the cuff to your arm without any assistance -- simply wrap the cuff around your arm and press start. In seconds your blood pressure and pulse are displayed on the large digital panel. Proven time and time again, Omron's IntelliSense technology ensures accurate, clinically-proven, and comfortable readings. And with a 90 memory recall with date and time stamp, you can track your blood pressure and pulse progress as you work towards a healthier lifestyle.


The Omron HEM-790IT delivers accurate, clinically-proven blood pressure readings in the comfort of your own home.


To take an accurate reading, first position the green marker directly over the artery on the inside of your arm.


Next, place your arm on a table so the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart.
Omron Health Management Software
Take your health to the next level with the included Omron Health Management Software. This PC software provides a blood pressure and pulse graph that lets you see how your values are trending over time. A morning/evening comparison graph tracks your morning and evening systolic and diastolic blood pressure and heart rate. You can also view your most common values and identify variations by time frame with the frequency distribution graph. The software is simple to use, and it supports multiple users. With just one click, you can download data via the HEM-790IT's USB connection and see graphically displayed measurements on your computer screen in seconds.

Instructions for Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors
There are several easy steps to taking your blood pressure with this blood pressure 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 green marker; position this marker directly over the artery on the inside of your arm. Next, secure the cuff with the Velcro material. 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, simply press the start button and remain still. The cuff will begin to inflate and numbers will appear on the display as the heart symbol flashes. When the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your blood pressure and pulse rate will display on the screen. If you need to stop the measurement at any time, simply press the on/off button and the monitor will immediately deflate. And remember, always consult your physician for specific information about your blood pressure.

What is IntelliSense?
The IntelliSense monitor inflates the cuff to the ideal level with each use -- you never have to make any adjustments 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 so likely to fluctuate. The biggest advantage of using the IntelliSense technology is a personalized inflation, every time, for maximum comfort.

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.

5 out of 5 stars Thanks   August 17, 2008
I ordered the BP cuff on Thursday and had it in one day - and I only paid for 4-6 day delivery. I LIKE these folks.

Thank you!!



5 out of 5 stars WOrks Great   August 15, 2008
Blood pressure monitor works great. Simple to use. Clear instructions. Monitor keeps track of blood pressure readings for two people. Yo can then download to computer to share with your doctor. Highly recommend.


5 out of 5 stars Great product!   August 14, 2008
I think this is a great product and recommend it for anyone who needs to check their blood pressure on a regular basis.


4 out of 5 stars So far so good   August 13, 2008
I needed a new BP monitor and decided on this one. I really liked the concept of the PC connection (too bad it is only PC - a MAC version would be great.) Great instructions, made well.

The cuff is 'stiff' and uses velcro to tighten around your arm but not
as 'secure' as the more common cuffs. The molded cuff expands as needed to place on your arm.

The LCD size is fine - large and the irregular beat is a nice feature.

The data transfer to the PC is very good feature. While keeping a log by typing the data into a spreadsheet is not large task, the OMRON tools make it easy on both Windows XP and Windows Vista (latest Service Packs).




1 out of 5 stars HOW ACCURATE IS IT?   August 12, 2008
 1 out of 1 found this review helpful

Found it gives variable readings. Brought it to the doctor's office for comparison and both systolic & diastolic readings were high compared to doctor's monitor. Also higher than what the neighborhood Urgent Care Center came up with so had to return it as I thought of it as useless.
