Product Reviews of Omron HEM-670IT Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor with APS (Advanced Positioning Sensor) and Advanced Omron Health Management Software
Product Review: Had to return for refund
Summary: 2 Stars
Worked for ten days although the readings seemed consistantly low, then would not pump up with any pressure and showed E error message. Changed batteries and still not working. Seems defective - Returned for refund.Product Review: Blood pressure monitor
Summary: 5 Stars
This monitor is easy to use, accurate and, most importantly, retains values in memory and transfers them to the home computer. Color graphs can then be produced for the doctor's examination. It is a valuable tool if either pressure or pulse has to be monitored over time.Product Review: omron hem-670IT
Summary: 5 Stars
Great product. The advanced positioning sensor makes getting accurate readings,you can trust,easy. The monitor is easy and simple to useProduct Review: Consistently inaccurate
Summary: 1 Stars
I've had this unit for a week, and am returning it. It's very easy to use, confortable, fast, and the downloadable feature makes keeping records for one's doctor to review a snap. The ONLY problem: when compared to blood pressure monitors at my local hospital and my personal physician's office, it consistently reads Diastolic high, usually by about 30 points, and Dyastolic high, by around 15 points. I am being evaluated for hypertension and since I *usually* measure within healthy ranges at medical faclities, with only the occasional very high repeatable reading, I have been directed to take frequent, scheduled measurements at home. The degree of error found in this possibly defective unit -- which I note appears to be atypical for most customers -- is enough to suggest the need for specific treatments where none may be necessary.
The Automatic Positioning System and Intellisense technology featured in this product seemed to work just fine, consistently guiding me to position my wrist in the same locale over my chest, thus I believe that my experience may not reflect the behavior of a properly functioning Omron HEM-670IT.
I am returning this unit to AMAZON, and ordering the arm cuff style HEM-790IT, which appears to not be as convenient to carry around, but seems to enjoy better reviews and is more trusted for accuracy by medical professionals. I'm now gunshy about wrist-based BP monitors, but I'll miss the convenience of having an all-in-one, compact unit that travels easily and doesn't smack of "medical appliance/device". (I don't like being reminded 2-3 times a day that something *might* be wrong.)
The wrist unit is somehow less intimidating, but where health parameters are concerned, accuracy is everything.
Product Review: easy and clear to understand
Summary: 5 Stars
very simple to use, easy to understand and nicely sized to tuck away in the medicine cabinet
