Product Reviews of Omron HEM-650 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with APS (Advanced Positioning Sensor)
Product Review: Be warned: Not for the elderly or people with arm weakness
Summary: 1 Stars
Let me start by saying that if you're an average healthy person this is a fairly decent BPM. It takes fast readings, is easy to put on and store, and has a memory of the readings taken including heart beats per minute. The big problem is that the advanced positioning sensor is very sensitive and requires your arm to remain completely still at 45 degrees in front of your chest for the entire reading. If you cannot find the correct position it will not take a reading at all. If it starts to take a reading and you slightly move out of the required angle it will give you an error message. Elderly folks, those with tremors, weak arm muscles, or people who are fidgety may not find much use in this machine.Product Review: Best BP cuff so far
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had 5 BP cuffs, and this is the easiest so far. I was taking my BP after exercise with a conventional cuff on the upper arm, and that type did not pick up the exercise-induced irregular heartbeat this cuff picked up. I now understand why I started to feel "funny" after exercise. I could modify my exercise program to compensate. Also, this cuff does not cause any tingling or pain in my hand as the other type did.Sooo easy to do, it's really great.Product Review: Best wrist monitor
Summary: 5 Stars
I purchased this monitor because Omron has a good reputation for its products. I needed this for work and use at home. I developed Tennis Elbow in both arms from pumping blood pressures over the years. I needed to give them a break after therapy and wanted something reliable and "accurate". This model fits the bill perfectly. Another nurse suggested has this one and I could not be happier.Product Review: Blood Pressure
Summary: 5 Stars
A bit difficult to use at first but great after reading the directions again. Convenient to carry anywhere if you need to monitor often. Easy to read and accurate.Product Review: Blood Pressure Cuff
Summary: 5 Stars
This was purchased for my mom because she could not find one to fit her arm. She finds that it is extremely accurate and extremely easy to use. The numbers are large so it is easy to read. Very good purchase.
