Omron M10-IT Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor with Dual User Facility with Dual Size Cuff

I like the apparatus. It's generally easy to use and gives accurate readings, and the arm cuff is comfortable and easy to fit around the arm. My arm is medium size, but the cuff is quite large and I'm sure would fit larger arms (after I fit it, there is still much more space than I need). I mainly bought this monitor for its ability to save and transfer readings to computer via the USB cable, which is really handy, so that I don't worry about taking the readings myself. I end up with a pdf file with all the saved readings (as long as you don't change the batteries I guess, it will save up to 84 readings, but I'm not up to that yet), which would give you/your doctor a general idea about the behavior of your blood pressure. It also can display weekly mediums of your readings, but I don't use it quite often. I'd rather compare single readings across a month or so. Battery consumption is not an issue too, I'm still running on the original batteries that came with it, for around two months ago (I take a reading every and other day). It also would save readings for two users. All in all, it's a very good monitor and I highly recommend. The only downside maybe its size. It's a bit bulky (compared to handcuff monitors), but even if you're a traveler you can fit it in a spacious handbag or backpack. If you're after accuracy and hi-tech options, it's worth it sacrificing the size. Handcuff monitors are not the most accurate anyway, and hence less reliable. p.s. the first few attempts of transferring data to a computer failed, later I realize I have to push the cable all the way into the monitor (I used to insert it half way, not realizing there is more to go, and since all electronics are delicate I didn't want to force it and risk breaking anything). After that it worked properly. I setup the software on windows xp and 8 and it functions properly on both.

I bought this item after long research online. Item arrived within 36 hours. I am a big 150kg man so was wondering if the cuff will fit my hand. But when I got the item I realized cuff would fit even probably double size man with huge biceps. The cuff fits my wife's hand as well, although she is small and her weight is only 50kg. And we don't need to swap cuffs every time we take measurements as the same cuff designed to fit both - small and big sizes. It will definitely fit even a 5 years old child. This monitor measures very quick compared to my previous monitors and it takes around 20 seconds from the start pumping the air to the end when readings are ready. It also shows you when your heart beat is irregular. There is also very handy thing user selection. I am user A and she is user B. I wanted to take three measurements per two minutes and see the average and she is taking just one measurement so I programmed user A to take three measurements and give the average readings and user B I left on default settings. So each time when we use the monitor just have to switch the switcher to position A or position B and it knows how to take readings. Then I can connect it to my computer (before you have install a program from cd which came in the box)and to see all readings, print them to show your GP, compare them, see how you get on say in the mornings compared to evenings and much much more. So in totally I am happy with this monitor and will recommend to everyone as it is accurate, user friendly and affordable monitor.

This is a clinically accurate device - compared to results a surgery there is no difference - readings can/will be higher/lower because blood pressure does vary and this is to be expected. This is a feature rich version of the M6. Allows PC upload of data and has the advantage of averaging 3 measurements made morning or night and recalling these including a weekly average. PC upload and printout to a PDF file allows data to be given to a GP with almost no effort and no chance of errors. Compared to M7 the M10 includes a cuff with only half the length of tubing. OK for self measurement but probably not enough for a static monitor or one operated by someone else e.g. at the doctors - but since this isn't intended for professional use it's OK. Compared to M6 or M7 the M10 includes memory recall but only stepping back (can't go forwards) but since the readings can be downloaded to a PC the need to step forwards and backwards isn't a problem and probably simplifies the process of recalling measurements. The display is very large and the large cuff is a benefit - as a man with average arms I'm at the limit of a standard cuff and it's useful to measure my arm and those of my partner. The best feature of this monitor over M6 or M7 is the ability to record two sets of measurements A or B e.g. Mr or Mrs within a family. If there is a need to measure another person e.g. a son or daughter this can be done as a guest user. The measurements as a guest are just as valid but have to be be manually written down - no averaging or saving of data. I do question the ability of the device to average three readings made at 15, 30, 60 or 120 sec intervals because this contradicts the requirement to wait 3+ minutes between taking readings to allow the arm to recover however someone might like to say why this is OK. This type of measurement is optional so it's not an issue if you don't need it. Compared to M7 the device switches on by pressing any button so there is no need to press start button to recall memory or take a measurement so it really is one touch to turn on and take a measurement although pressing Start again will turn it off sooner and save batteries. The display is a delight - very large and very clear. Batttery life is also 1400+ measurements vs 300+ of M7. I compared it to the M7 because it replaces M7 as the Omron device with Comfort Cuff. M6 is only worth considering if it's a lot cheaper - only the ability to scroll through memory on M6 in both directions is an advantage and the PC connectivity on M10 is a bonus. The ability to make measurements in morning and evening my not be significant. If after using the device for a few weeks, if there are no differences, then this could be considered a gimic or if it did highlight a problem then it's a benefit. Either way it doesn't need to be used. So the disadvantages of a shorter tube (not a problem) or scrolling forwards (not just backwards) through memory might be considered disadvantages however all the additional benefits are available but only if required. Overall there isn't much not to like.

Appareil de bonne qualité, validé par l'AFSSAPS et le BHS (france et angleterre). La mesure est rapide, environ 30 secondes. Il est possible de faire trois mesures automatiquement espacées d'une minute (par exemple), ce qui est une bonne pratique. Le brassard est bien pensé, facile à mettre. L'afficheur est clair, avec la valeur systolique, diastolique, et la fréquence cardiaque. L'appareil garde les 84 dernières mesures. Cela fait environ 9 jours à raison de trois fois par jour avec à chaque fois trois mesures. C'est bien sans être énorme. On peut avoir deux utilisateurs, qui ont chacun 84 mesures. Les mesures sont récupérables sur ordinateur (windows linux osx) pour avoir un relevé simple et des courbes d'évolution. Voir si la tension monte, diminue, si elle est bien le matin ou pas, le soir ou pas, est impliquant et peut aider à suivre un régime ou traitement. Seul reproche: couvercle des piles qui ne tient pas bien. Mettre un bout de ruban adhésif. Livré avec une sacoche et plein d'accessoires que je n'utilise pas vraiment. Appareil recommandé.

Wer so langsam in ein gehobenes Alter kommt, ist gut beraten ein wenig auf seine Gesundheit zu achten. Dieses Gerät leistet dazu eine wertvolle Hilfe. Klare Ergebnisse, gut ablesbar. Mitgeliefert dazu eine Software die es erlaubt Aufzeichnungen zu machen in tabellarischer Form. Unter Umständen mal hilfreich für einen Arztbesuch. Auch die Anwendung ist recht simpel. Dabei ist es auch möglich Aufzeichnungen für unterschiedliche Anwender zu machen, da das Gerät für 2 Hauptanwender und einen Gastanwender ausgelegt ist. Alles gut aufbewahrt in einer mitgelieferten Aufbewahrungstasche.

il est bien conçu, il est facile à utiliser, les piles durent longtemps.(j'ai lu les autres commentaires, mais franchement, il n'est pas nécessaire d'acheter le raccord secteur, il faut mettre des piles de bonne qualité, c'est tout). L'écran est bien lisible, bref, c'est un super appareil. Le brassard est facile à enfiler sur le bras et à positionner. Ce modèle permet de programmer très facilement un cycle de prises de tension. Vous sélectionnez le programme et l'appareil va automatiquement faire trois mesures espacées d'une minute, puis mémoriser celles-ci, en les classant selon que vous les avez faites le matin ou le soir. Au bout de trois jours, vous avez votre historique de 18 mesures, que vous pouvez visualiser, par mesure, moyenne de 3, moyenne matin, moyenne soir, ou moyenne sur le total. Ce principe correspond à ce que préconisent les cardiologues. Petite remarque: la norme internationale fixe les limites à 135 pour la pression systolique et 85 pour la pression diastolique.En France, on est sur 14 - 9, ce qui fait que les alertes de l'appareil doivent être pondérées. Si vous voulez pousser plus loin l'historique de vos mesures, le CD est facile à installer sur un PC et permet de visualiser davantage de données, mais là, il faut être accro à sa tension!! Dernière info, ce modèle peut servir à deux personnes en même temps grâce à un poussoir A - B

J'avais un tensiomètre à poignet. En fonction de la position plus ou moins proche de la main ma tension passait de 11/8 à 14/6. De quoi me poser des questions. Là pas de souci. Il me donne la même tension que chez le médecin (Testé !) Il fait très peu de bruit et permet de mémoriser deux utilisateurs. Du coup je la prends une fois en position B pour voir et je la prend ensuite en A. Ça rassure, ça permet de prendre la tension à toute ma famille. Et je peux même le connecter à l'ordinateur pour voir mes courbes sur plusieurs jours. Il accepte les piles rechargeables (4 R6). Ça compense l'absence d'adaptateur. Dernier point il est un peu volumineux. Une house est livrée avec et permet de l'emmener avec soi. Mais c'est pas comme un tensiomètre à poignet (Moins fiable par contre !) Bref à recommander

Ich hatte vorher ein Blutdruckgerät von Medisana da ist das Plastik-Zwischenstück zwischen Oberarmschlauch und Gerät gebrochen (ist wohl eine bekannte Schwachstelle wie ich anderen Foren entnommen habe). Außerdem piepte das Gerät beim Messen ständig. Das hat meinen Blutdruck noch zusätzlich in die Höhe getrieben. Lange Rede kurzer Sinn - ein neues Blutdruckgerät musste her. Ich entschied mich für o.g. Blutdruckmesser. Die Verarbeitung ist sehr gut. Manschette und Kabel sind für mich groß bzw. lang genug, piepen tut es nur einmal und der große Vorteil ist, dass ich die Werte auf den PC spielen kann. Hier hatte ich keinerlei Probleme bei der Installation. Ich bin also bis jetzt total zufrieden. Hoffentlich bleibt das so.
