Product Reviews of Omron HEM-650 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with APS (Advanced Positioning Sensor)
Product Review: A disturbing waste of money
Summary: 1 Stars
Because I am extra serious about hypertension, I bought this wrist monitor to double check my upper arm monitor, even though my upper arm monitor was checked at my doctor's office. While my upper arm monitor showed readings with consistency, this wrist monitor displayed wildly fluctuating readings within a matter of 10 minutes, although I followed the instructions with mathematical accuracy, including moving away from cell phones and other electronics items. If I didn't have the upper arm monitor to reassure me, I would have called 911, thinking I was on the verge of a circulatory episode. The bottom line: get an upper arm monitor and have it checked at your doctor's office.Product Review: A must for those diagnosed with hypertension.
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had the product for some six weeks now. It works as advertised and is a good value for the outlay. Six months back I was diagnosed with Hypertension Stage-I, but I since managed to lower that substantially, down to the normal range. I check my BP nearly every day to ensure it remains so. This does not apply to me, but some prospective buyers would appreciate having a two- or more person monitoring feature. The product has no way of differentiating multiple users.Product Review: A smart design of wrist blood pressure monitor
Summary: 5 Stars
This monitor offers two advantages to measure my blood pressure. Advanced positioning sensor helps mw get more accurate position to locate the monitor while the most wrist blood pressure monitors make me duobt about the right position. Since my heart responds to my hands strongly, the method using in this monitor (measuring blood pressure during ramming up cuff pressure) eliminates trigger higher pressure and pulse from my heart. It's the best blood pressure monitor I've ever used (3 arms and 1 wrist).Product Review: Acceptable Perfomance
Summary: 5 Stars
I've used this device since February 2008 and it gives steady, consistent readings. One must be very careful when placing it on his wrist because the slightest mistake will trigger a misreading. If it's too tight, obviously you will get false readings. Many other considerations must be observed to get the right reading. Some include proper position, 10 to 15 minutes rest, about 30 minutes after a meal, you must be relaxed, etc. Interestingly, when I have BP taken in my doctor's office, none of these practices are observed. Sometimes you wonder just how accurate BP readings are when taken under varying conditions. Anyway, it helps keep you aware of your BP level, which assists in identifying potential problems before they become worse and, depending on how you look at it, it provides for some peace of mind. It's much more inexpensive than visiting your MD for a simple reading. Definitely worth the price.Product Review: According to Mfg, this only works while sitting in a hard chair at table
Summary: 1 Stars
I got this monitor, expecting it to work regardless of the position I'm in. In bed, in a recliner.
The readings were 20 to 30 points low. I called the customer help line at Omron, and they told
me it will only give accurate readings if I am sitting up with feet on floor in a hard chair at a table.
The APS worked exactly once, then never worked again. It just beeps slowly, no matter where I'm sitting.
Customer help told me just to turn it of, that it does not work for everybody.
I'd say don't get it. I have not tried to calibrate it against a known good monitor while sitting at a table
in a hard chair.
