Amazon.com Product Description

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.

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 your work towards a healthier lifestyle.


The Omron HEM-780 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.
Instructions for 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 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 Excellent Product   October 8, 2008
Easy to use, accurate and affordable. I have been using it for about a month now and I have had no problems.


5 out of 5 stars Omron HEM-780Automatic Blood Pressure Cuff   October 4, 2008
Item being reviewed was shipped very promptly and is used on a regular basis with reliable response.


5 out of 5 stars Omron HEM-780 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor   October 3, 2008
I found this monitor to be a very good & accurate. My blood pressure was a little out of hand and I feel by having one that is accurate, it may save me from a stroke or heart attack.


5 out of 5 stars very nice HR monitor! easy to use   September 30, 2008
I've only had this HR monitor for a few weeks, but so far it's been perfect. Very easy to use, just like the automatic monitors you find in grocery stores. It is a little tight on your upper arm when it inflates, but I suppose it has to be to get a good reading. Excellent buy!


2 out of 5 stars Blood Pressure Inaccuracies   September 28, 2008
My blood pressure escalated these past few months and my doctor required that I start taking home blood pressure measurements. I went online to research what type of device I should purchase. I found that the arm cuffs were suppose to be the most accurate, and also that Omron was right up there for some of the best devices made. I chose the Omron HEM-780N3 for the comfit automatic cuff as well as the opportunity to keep track of the daily readings for both AM & PM. What I wish I had known was how inaccurate this product would be. My blood pressure readings were all over the place. I took it with me to the clinic to test for accuracy. My readings in both arms with the clinic cuffs were fairly stable when done multiple times. When we tested it against the Omron cuff in both arms, the readings were 15-20 points higher with the Omron. It is an easy device to use, but if you purchase it make sure that you get it checked against your clinic readings so you have a better understanding of what your blood pressure actually is.
