Omron Electronic Blood Pressure Monitor with Batteries

This model is suitable for home use by people who want a simple, one-touch upper-arm blood pressure monitor with good features (irregular heartbeat detection, body movement alert, memory).

Key Features

It’s a fully automatic upper-arm blood pressure monitor using the oscillometric method for both blood pressure and pulse rate measurement.

Equipped with OMRON’s IntelliSense™ technology: the cuff inflates to the ideal level automatically (no need to pre-set inflation pressure) for greater comfort and ease of use.

Detects irregular heartbeats: If more than two irregular rhythms are detected during measurement (variation of >25% from average rhythm), it flags the irregular-heartbeat symbol.

Has a body-movement detection / cuff wrap guide feature: It alerts if the cuff is wrapped too loosely or if the user moves during measurement, helping to improve measurement accuracy.

Built-in memory function – stores up to 30 measurement sets (with systolic, diastolic and pulse) so you can track your readings over time.

Technical Specifications

Measurement method: Oscillometric principle.

Pressure measurement range: 0 to 299 mmHg. Pulse range: 40 to 180 beats/min.

Accuracy: ±3 mmHg for pressure; ±5% for pulse rate.

Suitable arm cuff circumference: standard 22-32 cm (there are optional cuffs for larger arms).

Power: 4 “AA” batteries (approximately 1000 measurements on new alkaline batteries) or optional AC adapter.

Device weight: Approx. 250 g (without batteries) plus cuff approx. 130 g.

Storage & operating environment: Operating +10–40 °C; Storage -20–+60 °C; Relative humidity ranges specified.

Notes & Considerations

According to the independent device-listing database Medaval Ltd., this model (listed as BP710N / HEM-7121-Z) has not been clinically validated (or at least no accessible peer-reviewed validation evidence).  If accuracy is critical (e.g., for clinical monitoring), you may want to consider a model with full independent validation.

It is intended for use on adult patients only (arm circumference in the specified range) and not for children.

Proper cuff placement is crucial: cuff should be positioned 1–2 cm above the elbow; arm should be at heart level; you should remain still and avoid talking during measurement. Incorrect placement or movement may give inaccurate results.

It is recommended to have the device checked every ~2 years for accuracy / calibration.
