One of the foremost notable features of the HEM-780 is Omron's patented "ComFit Cuff." The ComFit Cuff is a pre-formed arm cuff which is particularly designed to comfortably fit medium to large size arms around 9" and 17". Appying Omron's innovative "Intellisense" technology, the cuff is inflated to exactly the correct level allowing for the most precise readings. Intellisense was designed with the hypertensive patients in mind together with those with arrhythmia, and other cardiovascular disorders that can bring about fluctuating blood pressure. Using sensors, it will be able to detect physically influential body movement in order to reduce any chance of a bad ratio.
The Omron HEM-780 uses the oscillometric system of determining blood pressure by detecting the movement and flow of the blood flowing through the brachial artery in your tricep. The pulsing of the blood is detected by aligning a blue strip on the ComFit Cuff on the inside of the bicep and aligned with the middle finger when the line is extended outward toward the hand.
The Omron HEM-780 has two distinct read modes;
- "TruRead" mode which is engineered to accommodate 3 consecutive measurements taken at 1 minute intervals such as is suggested by the American Heart Association (AHA), and then it automatically averages them out and displays the data.
- "Single Read" mode features advanced averaging of single measurements and can automatically display the mean average of the most recent 3 readings taken within a 10 minute time frame.
When you think of bells-and-whistles, you think of needless add-ons, nevertheless the HEM-780 has all the extras, none of which are trivial. The Omron HEM-780 BP Monitor also senses abnormal heartbeats along with the thorough features previously outlined here. It automatically stores as much as 84 sets of blood pressure and pulse data values for two individual people in its substantial 200 total memory. When 84 readings have been recorded, the oldest one is erased so as to make room for the newest. For both of the 2 potential users, it can even record up to 8 weeks of morning and evening average readings.
With straightforward push button functionality, the Omron HEM-780 is ideal for home use. It comes with a 5 year warranty, and has been rigorously tested and evaluated to meet strict accuracy and safety standards. This standard of excellence and quality is unsurpassed among all other BP Monitor manufacturers.
