I have this one. It's really convenient and accurate I use it atleast 3-4 times a week, and have to take it to my doctor's appt with me. It's easy for her to record my previous reading.
Well your suppose to sit for 5 minutes before testing, apply the cuff at same hight as heart. You should be able to get two figers between the cuff and your arm. Arm strait out feet flat on the floor. And no moving or talking during the test.
The reading will not be accurate if you are not sitting down with the feet on the floor and quiet during the reading . The cuff should be the same level of the heart.
Also, you are supposed to be quiet at least 5 minutes prior to taking the pulse and sitting upright with the arm positioned around the heart level on a flat surface.
The other videos were so confusing because I couldn't get the cuff on my arm properly. I have dysgraphia (pictures and left/right/up/down views switching around and bouncing around) which is similar to dyslexia (words and letters and sentences switching places and bouncing around.) Watching you go slowly while showing back and forth views as you put on the cuff really helped me. Thank you so much for such a detailed presentation. I couldn't get my device to work properly until I watched your video. You are fabulous!!!
As others have noted, the cuff should be level with the heart. Some Omron models have a blue light that lights up when the cuff is in the correct position and red when your arm is not in the correct position.
When you use the cuff on your right arm you have to position it differently in comparison to how you place it on your left arm. This is explained in the inclosed directions. That’s why it is not measuring correctly. I have two Omron series 3 BP monitors that I compare against each other, and both are spot on.
Have bought an OMRON 3 series upper arm blood pressure monitor from Target recently. So far, haven't been able to get it to respond at all. Won't even show any "E1" or "E 1" message. Ugh. So frustrating. It will turn on, display a tiny arrow near the bottom, but won't respond at all. Has anyone been able to fix this?
Helpful video I actually just bought this the other day and was wondering if u get different readings depending on how tight or loose the cuff is?? The directions just say "snug", any idea if it's better if cuff ends up a tad tight vs a tad loose? I get different readings depending on that factor each time it seems like.
And I'm taking it on my left arm, have it securely wrapped around my upper left arm, I'm sitting still, and it will still not respond at all. Very frustrating.
@@HomeTechDIY The sleeve wasn't filling with air. Then I put in 4 different batteries. Now it works. Thank you for your help. I would suggest for people that they put in 4 fresh batteries.
Very helpful video. Was thinking of getting this to replace my old Omron. I prefer the preformed comfi cuff; do you know if it would fit this machine? It appears to have the same little blue connector.
You didn't read the instructions, which meant you conducted the tests incorrectly. Ordinarily you're meant to use the left arm because firstly it is closer to the heart and secondly the tubing is less likely to get curled up or leant on. I urge people to read the instructions first.
2022 bought at local , USA based Pharmacy, with discount = 42.00. This is a good tutorial, but I always have issues with HOW to wrap the cuff. I use my left arm, know tube goes toward hand, etc. But which direction to wrap the cuff band is the issue. I know it's ME, but I just got this and it can each direction and I've seen people do it differently and same. Sorry. I'll try more. Omron's Cust. Service site was useless with this issue.

Thanks for the tip!
I just bought this and i have high BP, it goes over 200 and its SO tight on my arm!

Yup. 100% correct. That's probably why he got the elevated blood pressure reading. Nice.
Also, you are supposed to be quiet at least 5 minutes prior to taking the pulse and sitting upright with the arm positioned around the heart level on a flat surface.

You're supposed to use your left arm when taking your blood pressure.
Which arm does not matter, but it should be level with heart.
My doctor has checked both arms for accuracy. First they use the left and then depending on my situation they will check the right.

You have to be relaxed and not moving or holding things in the air and no talking.
Just got mine today hope I have the same positive experience as the others in the comment section.
You are very sexy !!!
Thank you i have one also and it works wonderful how awesome is that this video is very helpful 👍👍👍👌👌🙌🙌
Thank you for making this video, it helps.
Is the first top number the actual blood pressure result I’m so confused

Return it
How can I fix E 1 that displayed and stooped the process

That is odd. Is the sleeve filling with air?

Awesome! Good advice! I'm happy to hear it all worked out for you.
Mine did i have an irregular heart beat call Brady cardia
Hi friend, I have the same OMRON 3 series. In this case, Can I use rechargeable battery ? because it has no option AC adaptor.
I have never tried it with rechargeable batteries but I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Very helpful video. Was thinking of getting this to replace my old Omron. I prefer the preformed comfi cuff; do you know if it would fit this machine? It appears to have the same little blue connector.
I'm not sure. There are even newer versions available at Walmart, Target and drug stores that you can try on before you buy.
does it commonly read irregular heartbeat if you are amoving only slightly, or just random misreads?
I haven't noticed any misreads... I still haven't noticed any indication that this has picked up an irregular beat.
then i must be having a lot of palpitations, thanks for the response.
Thanks!
Do you have an unpack or tryout video for their later super model which claims to do a sort of EKG!?
No, but I will look into it. Thanks for letting me know.
thank you :)
Weird, my device hurts really bad.
You have to leave it on table.
can a AC adapter be used with the device instead of the AA batteries?
No, there is nowhere to plug in an AC adapter.
thanks
No, I can't see any AC adapter port on it. You need to use 4 AAA batteries. At least on the model I'm using.
It’s something wrong . You should to use your left hand .
No a/c adapter, so you'll go through batteries. Pass.
cameriqueTV year and half and still on same bateries..
I have the rechargeable batteries. You will save money if you get the mini charger that goes with the chargeable batteries.
126 - 86, elevated blood pressure.
you were standing when mesuring you should sit down and relax no wonder your heart rate was high
You didn't read the instructions, which meant you conducted the tests incorrectly. Ordinarily you're meant to use the left arm because firstly it is closer to the heart and secondly the tubing is less likely to get curled up or leant on. I urge people to read the instructions first.
And you will notice your BP is much higher than what it shows on right arm 🙂

I'm no expert. maybe bring it with you on your next dr visit. There are also multiple opinions in the comments sections here that may help.
@@HomeTechDIY You are so right ! I will. You are the reason I come to YT when I can't get proper help on internet or company site !
