Product Reviews of the Omron Elite 7300W Womens Avanced Blood Pressure Monitor
Product Review: It's ok, but check it against your physician's readings
Summary: 4 Stars
My guess is the manufacturer thought they could market it to women based on including a smaller cuff with a regular sized one. My arm size was right between the two sizes, so I tried them both. I tried each of them several times(following the instructions.) It takes about 40 seconds for the machine to take the reading, which appears to be average for these types of machines.
I found that my numbers were higher using the smaller cuff! I didn't expect there to be much difference, but it averaged 7 to 9 points higher on the systolic; the diastolic was the same. The smaller cuff's readings put me in the "high" zone, where as the larger cuff put my readings at the top of the "normal" zone.
Based on readings I have from my doctor's office, I think the larger cuff is probably the more accurate cuff for me to use. I tried my spouse's machine which is very similar to the Omron, and it was 8 to 10 points lower on both systolic and diastolic! Other units I've seen have settings which will go above 150 for testing if needed, but it appears this unit doesn't go higher than that.
Bottom line: no matter what machine is used, it should be checked with your doctor's office for accuracy/bias.
