Customer Reviews of Omron Sphygmomanometer, Black, Adult
Customer Review: Accurate but not user friendly
Summary: 3 Stars
I have read the reviews from users with some medical training (e.g. nurse, EMT, etc.) who like this unit. However, for someone like me who has no such training, this is not the easiest unit to use, which led me to return it. Here are my comments.
1. The cuff has no D-ring to facilitate tightening the cuff on your arm. If someone is going to put the cuff on for you, this doesn't matter. But if you are going to take your blood pressure without assistance, as I expect many consumer users of blood pressure equipment do, then there is some difficulty. Nothing insurmountable, but very annoying if you take your blood pressure daily or more frequently.
2. You need to buy a stethoscope to use with this unit. I found it somewhat awkward to do so, though I have a friend who has this same unit (and recommended it to me) who does it easily--but that person had some medical training.
3. After you inflate the cuff, you need to release the air. If you do it too fast or too slow you will not get an accurate reading. There are no markings telling you how much to turn the air release knob to get an accurate blood pressure reading. You just have to learn to do it by trial and error. For my friend who recommended the unit it was no big deal, but I found that more than once I would do the release too fast or too slow. I'm not sure that I ever got the hang of it, because when I went to my doctor's office and brought the unit with me, the readings that I thought I got on my unit were much higher than what my doctor found using his own equipment. I don't blame the unit, which my friend tested and found to be accurate, but rather on my inability to get the hang of using it properly.
4. The unit comes with no instructions of any kind. I went onto the internet to watch a video about using a unit like this.
I have found that owning something that works, but which is either annoying or inconvenient to use, usually results in not using it. Therefore I returned this unit
