To take an accurate reading, first position the green marker directly over the artery on the inside of your arm. | 
Next, place your arm on a table so the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart. | Instructions for Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors
There are several easy steps to taking your blood pressure with this monitor. First of all, avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm, and sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Slide your left arm through the cuff and position the cuff approximately 0.5-inches above the elbow. On the cuff you'll notice a green marker; position this marker directly over the artery on the inside of your arm. Next, secure the cuff with the Velcro material. The cuff should make direct contact with your skin, but you should be able to easily fit your index finger between the cuff and your arm. Place your arm on a table so that the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart. Rest comfortably in a relaxed environment for at least 15 minutes prior to taking your blood pressure measurement. Once you feel relaxed, simply press the start button and remain still. The cuff will begin to inflate and numbers will appear on the display as the heart symbol flashes. When the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your blood pressure and pulse rate will display on the screen. If you need to stop the measurement at any time, simply press the on/off button and the monitor will immediately deflate. And remember, always consult your physician for specific information about your blood pressure. What is IntelliSense?
The IntelliSense monitor inflates the cuff to the ideal level with each use -- you never have to make any adjustments to select an inflation level. This is especially convenient for hypertensive users and for people with certain arrhythmia or heart disorders because their blood pressure is so likely to fluctuate. The biggest advantage of using the IntelliSense technology is a personalized inflation, every time, for maximum comfort. The Importance of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring
Doctors, diabetes educators, physician assistants, nurses, and other healthcare professionals all recommend home blood pressure monitoring for various reasons. Home monitoring provides your healthcare professionals with better information to understand and manage your high blood pressure. Many types of hypertension can only be detected by monitoring your blood pressure at home, including:
- White-Coat Hypertension: blood pressure reading is high in your doctor's office but lower at home
- Masked Hypertension: blood pressure reading is low in doctor's office but higher at home
- Morning Hypertension: blood pressure reading is higher in the morning
Additionally, many factors can affect your blood pressure, including physical exertion, emotional fluctuations, medications, and stress. So having your blood pressure monitored at a pharmacy with an in-store device after you've been shopping or walking around might not provide you with the most accurate measurement. Monitoring your blood pressure at home allows you achieve a relaxed state more easily, and it gives you the flexibility to take your measurements at various times during the day. By keeping track of your home blood pressure readings, you can provide your healthcare professional with a log of your measurements over time. This can help them evaluate the effectiveness or need for medication. What's in the Box

 great product January 2, 2009
C. Dean (Sanford, NC)
I purchased this for my husband to track his blood pressure with. It is a very nice item, easy to use. I would recommend this to others.
Great Blood Pressure Reader December 24, 2008
Claire H. Holdsworth (San Diego, CA)
Everything was as advertised. My doctor advised me to buy this instead of the wrist one I had been using. I am very pleased with it.
 My Parents are happy with this Omron BP Machine December 21, 2008
Krishna Prem Narra (Philly, USA)
My I gave this product as gift to my parents . They are very happy with this product. Its easy to use and giving acurate results.
Best Ever December 16, 2008
Anne (Florida)
This is the best blood pressure monitor we've ever owned and we've owned several over the years. Our only concern is the shape. It is hard for old hands to pick it up and hand it to your spouse. But the price was very fair and its operation is smooth.
Very accurate November 18, 2008

I originally bought this monitor because I was feeling faint and tired very often, but my blood pressure was always normal when I took it at the store or when a doctor or paramedic took it. Later, I found out it was because I had been moving around, eating, or standing before the measurements were taken, something you're not supposed to do when taking a BP.
At first, I thought this monitor was inaccurate because when I followed the instructions that came with the machine it seemed to read dangerously low. But, after doing some tests and experiments with it, I found it to be extremely accurate.
So, all this time I had dangerously low blood pressure and didn't know it. I am showing some symptoms of a serious disease that I didn't think I had because I thought my BP was normal all this time. Now, I am encouraged to get testing and treatment. It's entirely possible that this machine has saved my life.
