Q&A – Wrist Blood Pressure Monitors
What is Advanced Position Sensor (APS)?
APS ensures an accurate reading. Correct cuff positioning is critical when monitoring blood pressure. Only Omron Wrist Blood Pressure Monitors with APS have a unique positioning sensor that automatically confirms the cuff is level with the user’s heart. This helps ensure that each and every reading is accurate.
What is important to know about your Blood Pressure Monitor?
Blood pressure monitors with wrist cuffs are particularly helpful if you have a larger than average sized arm. The wrist cuff ensures easier and more comfortable use. The wrist cuff requires proper positioning at the heart level.
It is critical that when using a blood pressure monitor the cuff is the appropriate size and is properly applied. An ill-fitting cuff or an incorrectly-applied cuff can result in inaccurate readings. Consult your doctor or the instructions that came with your blood pressure monitor for the proper application of the cuff.

This baby has helped me track my heart through all the highs and lows and ultimately allowed me to assist my doctor in verifying that something is seriously wrong with my blood pressure. We’re yet to verify what the culprit is… but this little guy helps me know when to slow down or kick it up a notch.
I would highly recommend this guy if you’re looking for a wrist-inflatable blood pressure monitor. It’s been consistant, reliable, and informative for both myself and my doctor.
This is a great gadget and I feel that the results are pretty accurate. I have found that you really need to position this in just the right spot on your wrist, though, as it seems like an inch higher or lower makes a big difference. I’ve found that placing the lower edge about where the lower edge of my watch normally sits seems to have the most accurate readings (about 1.5″ from my palm).

works well
Very straight forward device. Accurate if used correctly. Line it up on your wrist and hold your arm at heart level and you are good to go.

Inconsistent
The diastolic pressure seems consistent, but the systolic (higher number) changes by 20mg or more between two readings taking one right after the other.

Easy to use
I have used this a few times since purchased and it is extremely easy to use. All you do is pop in the batteries (included) and put it on your wrist and hit start.
