IntelliSense Technology automatically determines the amount of pressure necessary to provide you with a reading that is comfortable and accurate. The Elite 7300W achieves heightened reliability through an Advanced Averaging feature, which automatically displays the average of up to three readings taken within the last ten minutes. Standard (9- to 13-inch) and large (13- to 17-inch) cuffs are included to ensure the proper fit for your arm, a critical component of precise blood pressure readings.

Helping your healthcare provider track your blood pressure over time can be an important step toward maintaining a healthy heart.

A hypertension indicator lets you know if your blood pressure exceeds the American Heart Association guidelines for normal blood pressure; a detector alerts you if there was too much body motion during your blood pressure reading for an accurate measurement to be taken; and an irregular heartbeat detector alerts you to a potentially dangerous irregular heartbeat.

5.0 out of 5 stars Simple Blood Pressure Monitoring, July 23, 2008

By 

an honest reviewer - See all my reviews
(VINE VOICE)   

This review is from: Omron Elite 7300W Womens Avanced Blood Pressure Monitor (Health and Beauty)

(What's this?)

This is a nice, portable way to check on blood pressure.
There are two cuffs, one regular and one large sized. A gray carrying case holds the unit.
The display is very large and easy to read. Showing blood pressure and pulse. There is a symbol indicating too much movement, which means you'll need do re-take your pressure. There is a symbol for irregularheatbeat and a warning symbol forhypertension.
I'm thrilled with this product, the only fault I could find was it hums a bit loudly. Still it is a quality monitoring unit, much better than ones I've seen at drug stores.
Highly recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars Taking your blood pressure couldn't be easier!, July 22, 2008

By 

Penumbra (Atlanta, GA USA) - See all my reviews

This review is from: Omron Elite 7300W Womens Avanced Blood Pressure Monitor (Health and Beauty)

(What's this?)

Apparently the Omron Women's Advanced Blood Pressure Monitor derived it's name because it has been clinically validated for use by at risk pregnant women who require regular monitoring. But the unit is not just for women - it can be used by anyone who needs to monitor their blood pressure.

Using this couldn't be easier. Once you determine whether you will be using the standard or large cuff; put the cuff on your upper arm with the Velcro fastener, plug the air tube into the digital monitor and press the start button. The unit will inflate the cuff and calculate your blood pressure and pulse. There are also indicators for hypertension, irregular heartbeat, and an alarm with two settings to remind you to take your readings or medicine. There is a feature that will average up to three readings taken within a 10 minute interval. The unit will store 84 readings and there is a "guest" setting which won't affect your stored readings. The display results are large and easy to read.


Everything you need is in this package. The box contains:
1 digital automatic blood pressure monitor
2 cuffs (standard and large sizes)
1 illustrated Spanish/English instructional manual
4 AAA batteries
1 cuff guide (for sizing)
1 zipper case for storage

I can't speak to the pinpoint accuracy of the unit; it seems to be in the vicinity of readings taken at the doctor's office. If you're consistent with applying the cuff, and taking your blood pressure on a regular basis, this unit will certainly be able to show you trends which you can discuss with your physician. Putting the cuff on your own arm is not difficult. There is always the possibility you could make a mistake with the cuff placement that could affect your reading but, if you make any big mistakes with the cuff, it will over inflate and display a large "E" for error.

If you need to track your (or a loved one's) blood pressure on a regular basis, this easy-to-use, easy-to-read digital monitor makes it much less of a chore.

Highly recommended.

4.0 out of 5 stars A great improvement over my older Omron monitor!, July 23, 2008

This review is from: Omron Elite 7300W Womens Avanced Blood Pressure Monitor (Health and Beauty)

(What's this?)

When I was first diagnosed with hypertension about 10-15 years ago, I bought an Omron Automatic Digital Blood Pressure Monitor (HEM-713C). This new Omron Elite 7300W is a much nicer monitor in many ways, but lacks some of the simple touches of my older monitor. I took my BP in both right and left arms with both the old and new monitors. I can't attest to battery life of the older model, as I haven't used it in a long while, so that may be part of why its readings were so inconsistent. I just put the batteries in the new model this week, so I know they are fresh. My readings with both monitors, which were taken within seconds of one another, are as follows for comparison purposes:

Old Monitor:
Right: 134/59 - pulse 60
Left: 99/52 - pulse 59

New Monitor - Small Cuff:
Right: 122/67 - pulse 63
Left: 112/63 - pulse 59

New Monitor - Large Cuff:
Right: 110/60 - pulse 61
Left: 111/60 - pulse 59

As you can see, the new monitor was much more consistent among readings than the old monitor (again, though, that could be due to battery age). Also, I took readings with both the large and small cuff because someone had mentioned that they got a substantially different reading between the two cuffs and I was curious to see if that happened for me (for the record, the large cuff is much too long for my arm).

Following are what I felt were pros and cons of the Elite 7300W when compared to the features of my old monitor:

Pros:
1. While the cuff is filling, the air pressure of the fill slows down so that when the cuff is completely full, it is not was uncomfortable a squeeze as my old monitor, which could be painful.
2. Instead of holding at the highest fill point while it took the reading like my old monitor (which could be uncomfortable if the cuff was very tight), the Elite 7300W got to the highest fill point and then immediately released, so you got relief from the pressure.
3. The Elite 7300W turns itself off; so, for example, if you got a phone call while you were taking your pressure reading and forgot to go back and turn it off, you wouldn't drain your batteries.
4. This monitor stores readings and gives averages. It also has an indicator if it is unable to take an accurate reading due to an irregular heartbeat. It will even remind you to take your meds!
5. Whereas the edges of the cuff of my old monitor were "raw," the edges of the new monitor's cuffs were covered, which made the cuff more comfortable.
6. The monitor plus the instruction booklet plus both cuffs fits in a great zippered carrying case--love that!

Cons:
1. My old monitor had an "on/off" button and a "start inflation button." The Elite 7300 only has a "start/stop" button. Therefore, the act of turning it on also begins the inflation. For purposes of writing this review, I wanted to just turn on the monitor to view the various displays, but I could not. In terms of general use, this probably won't be much of a hindrance.
2. My old monitor beeped when the cycle was done and your pressure reading was ready. This new one just stops. For those who are looking right at the monitor while they're taking their pressure, this is no big deal. I always look away so it was nice to have that beeping cue to let me know when it was done.
