Once you get it set up it's bullet proof, easy, and very informative

I felt that I needed to submit this review since some prior reviews were somewhat negative. However, most of the latter was due to sensitivities associated with privacy, some problems with connecting to Bluetooth, and the fact that it uses AA batteries which is unfair. As for privacy, it no longer needs to send your initial results for calibration. It starts tracking and monitoring from the first use. As for the batteries, I've used mine now 2-3 times daily for 2 weeks and no battery issues. In fact, I like the fact that it's so portable. So here's my review. Download the Omron Connect app to your phone. Be sure your phone is on bluetooth. Be sure you have a good WiFi signal. Go to your phone settings to monitor for connected devices. Push the bluetooth search button on the Omron unit. Accept the connection on your phone. When you start the Omron Connect app, you will need to sign-up for an account. Yes, it will ask for your permission to send your data to Omron so that they can monitor. The free service is all I use. There is a separate, included piece of paper with the unit that says that you no longer need to have your first EKG reviewed by a doctor for "calibration" purposes. I didn't sign up for any of the subscriptions yet I still find what I get for free from the app to be perfect. I can list all my past blood pressure (BP) readings and send them as an Excel file to myself or doctor by email for tracking. I can send a snapshot of any EKG reading (it stores them on the phone, I think there's a limit as to how many it stores, I have 2 weeks of EKG right now) and send it by email also. The app lets you chart BP by days, weeks, months. I really don't need anything else. So with your account created and the Omron Connect open and running on the phone, go to the Dashboard on the app and select the "Blood Pressure + EKG" option, scroll down a little and you's see a button that says "Record Blood Pressure and EKG". Push it and it will bring up an instruction screen that says to connect the BP cuff to your arm, push the "START/STOP" button on the Omron Unit, and place your thumbs and fingers on the metal sensing pads." So here is where its a little tricky. You need to actually have the Unit OFF since when you press the "START/STOP" button it will in effect turn off if its on. So i usually just set up my phone, place it in the convenient resting cradle on the unit, attach the cuff, and then turn the unit on. It starts automatically. After the EKG is done, wait until your BP reading shows up on the UNIT and then lift your fingers/thumbs off the unit. Everything is stored automatically. It doesn't take too many tries before you figure out how to use the unit. You get an instantaneous review of your BP and EKG on your phone. This unit is perfect. I can see why this unit will save lives. The feedback is instant and you can check it several times (though be sure to release the cuff and wait a few minutes between readings). If it takes a few times to get it to work for you be sure you disregard the first few readings as your BP probably went up a bit due to the "stress" associated with getting to know how it works. Once you have it down, it always works. I highly recommend this unit and this company. This is a real medical instrument by the best company in the business. (I gave the accuracy only 4 stars since I don't really know how accurate it is; but it is the only home BP and EKG unit that is accredited so I trust it).

Accurate...meets professional medical certification

A remarkable piece of medical equipment for blood pressure and EKG readings. I compared this device against my doctor's blood pressure monitor, and the readings were spot on. This device also agrees with my Welch Allyn BP device. This Omron BP7900 monitor requires you to do an intial setup procedure, which has several steps, but is not hard to do. I had to pair it with my Iphone 15+ to run the Omron connect US/CAN/EMEA app to record and save my EKG readings. You do NOT need any extra app features...just use the basic app and you will be fine. Once you do the intial setup, this device is very easy to use. My primary care doctor, and my cardiologist were very impressed with this Omron BP7900. I've had 3 TIA's, so I need to keep a close eye on my BP numbers, and my EKG graph. I am on BP medication, so my BP numbers are fine. If you want to see a clear record of what your BP and EKG is, then buy this device NOW. I will repeat that...don't sit on the fence, buy it NOW. It could save your life if you have high blood pressure or abnormal heart rythm. Let me assure you, I do NOt work for Omron, and I am not connected with them in any way. I am just like most users...I want and need a dependable and accurate BP and EKG monitor. Conclusion: I am very satisfied with the Omron BP7900 monitor, it really works as described, and It might just save my life. I highly recommend it.

2 Detected cardiac anolalies verified

I bought and started using when I noticed irregular heart rhythm, meter identified anomaly in EKG and cardiologist verifief with a 10 lead test showing same anomoly. Medication corrected the problem and I consistently get normal readings. Recently a close friend was feelinh bad and I did BP & EKG test on him, the software recognized AFIB anomaly and recommended medical care. His primary doctor dismissed the reported result in a telemed appointment then a few days later in-office he showed the 4 test reports I had generated, then he was given 10 lead test verifying reported AFIB and was sent to ER and admitted to hospital. Minor surgery with shock to heart to reset the rhythm as at least temporarily stabilized him and he is buying his own unit to test himself regularly. I am convinced by multiple personal experiences this machine has prevented serious cardiac events and complications. A single lead test is not going to detect all anomalies but the analysis software will detect many issues and abnormal results should be reviewed by a doctor. Im thankful it worked for me and would buy again now that I have experienced it's effectiveness.

Easy to use and very reliable

This works great! It’s very easy to use, and the setup was simple. The app on my phone is user-friendly and makes it easy to track everything over time. I like that it keeps a clear record of readings, which is very helpful for monitoring and sharing with healthcare providers. Overall, it feels accurate, convenient, and professional. I would definitely recommend this to anyone needing a reliable blood pressure monitor.
