i cannot understand why the bp is different each time that i checked by this monitor! at first 153, 1 minute later 136, and then 158, why?

I've not experienced that problem, my pressure is always within a point or two of the same reading within minutes of each reading.

I am not sure but I just bought a life source monitor at the the drug store and I consistently get accurate readings on the first try. Once again, I think the sensors in this machine do not work very well. Money not well spent.

My wife is a nurse and she said you can't take your blood pressure back to back that quickly as your blood vessels need time to relax. The readings have been consistent with our unit.

It depends on several factors, what you have eaten, the position of your arm resting, your emotions during the time of taking your blood pressure, and mostimportant relax and take it again in about 20 minutes. If you are still getting different readings - take someone else's blood pressure - if the problem continues it may be the machine - but unlikely it is one of the best on the market. I have no problem with mine.

Mine shows my heart rate over 100 most everyday. The oxygen count mine has shown no more than the 99%---but 100 is the most it could show. Check on it, but I think 99% is standard.

As others that have responded, I also obtain variation in my bp readings. I don't find anything very surprising in different readings.

I don't have a precise answer on that, I know that it does detect an irregular heartbeat and will display a symbol, and it does store up to 90 readings of bp readings. I've had it for several years and it works great. I would have to consult the manual. If I find something out quickly, I will send the answer.

Thanks for your question. BP7 is a wrist blood pressure monitor. It's supposed to be used under a quiet environment and smooth mood. That will be helpful to get a most accuracy measuring data.Hope the answer is helpful.

I could be wrong, but I believe it has to do with the color of the heater. BP is black and GP is gray.

The answer is no. In fact, I returned the machine. One of the biggest problems I had was it's inaccuracy. I literally had to rush my father to the hospital on 3 occasions. The last being his BP was actually 187/121. The machine was way off. This is the 3rd Omron I have purchased for dad believing the more expensive the machine the better the product. I could not personally in good faith recommend an Omron product and in fact seeing dad's primary tomorrow for a recommendation of a machine OR better a prescription to secure a top notch machine.

Yes, it's not a function of the machine. Your BP is never going to be exactly the same if you take it 3 or 4 times in a row because of the way your arteries respond to being constricted by the cuff. Frankly, I wouldn't do this. These machines are very accurate; the first BP you take should be an accurate reading.

I'm afraid I can't answer your question:(All I know is since I've been using this monitor, it has given me results that Is much the same or similar results to what I would get when I go see my doctor. Cheers

It shows as pulses per minute. On the Chrono screen, you can show PPM bigger than chrono time or smaller, whichever you prefer.

Cannot help you, if still under return timeframe, return it. I have two units, one used for three years, one still new in box, even un-opened--was going to sell it so did not want to open the box, but decided to keep it since now discontinued. Your post reminds me--I should take it out of the box and check it. Question--are you sure it is the monitor and not your video card in the computer, or interference from some other device? Check online for like symptoms. Love this monitor. If you can find a fix, and otherwise in good condition, worth fixing yourself.

Most likely the cuff is defective. You may have to return the unit for a new one. Also, take your blood pressure unit with you to your primary care physician and have it checked as my husbands was reading too high and it needed to be adjusted.

I so not think any home monitor can accurately read your blood pressure. I have taken my monitor with me to the doctor's office on several occasions. It can read anywhere from 10 to 20 points higher than what the doctor's machine reads. To quote her "use it as a guide, not as a fact". So, that's what I do.

I compared mine to the use of sphygmomanometer, like in dr.office and stethoscope. Wrist manometer easy, comfortable. Readings comparable, blood pressure changes all the time. Important thing is following changes

I had a similar experience... Until I realized that the pulse number and SaO2 number are reversed to the labeling on the top. 60s was really my pulse and the 98 was the SaO2. Double-check your display.

I'm not sure. We had our unit for about 6 weeks. When my husband had a checkup with his cardiologist, we found that the unit was reading VERY high compared to his actual blood pressure. We tried to return it, but since we had owned it over 30 days we were unable to return it, so we just threw it away.

That's exactly the same problem I had, Judy. My blood pressure normally runs about 116/68, and it had me at a systolic of between 124-128 each time I tested it. It's a lousy unit; I'd definitely recommend another type. Good luck!
