Taking your blood pressure is easy with the lightweight and convenient Omron HEM-432C Manual Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor . This monitor comes equipped with a standard adult-sized cuff that fits arms nine-to-13 inches in circumference. Simply wrap the cuff around your arm and squeeze the bulb to begin inflation. In a few seconds your blood pressure and pulse readings are displayed on the large digital panel. Omron's monitors are clinically proven for accuracy so you can use the HEM-432C to track your blood pressure and pulse progress as your work towards a healthier lifestyle.

The Omron HEM-432C delivers accurate, clinically-proven blood pressure readings in the comfort of your own home.

To take an accurate reading, first position the marker so it is centered on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger.

Next, place your arm on a table so the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart.

Instructions for Manual Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitors
There are several easy steps to taking your blood pressure with this monitor. First of all, avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm, and sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Slide your left arm through the cuff and position the cuff approximately 0.5-inches above the elbow. On the cuff you'll notice a blue marker; position this marker so it is centered on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger. Next, secure the cuff with the closure strip. The cuff should make direct contact with your skin, but you should be able to easily fit your index finger between the cuff and your arm.

Place your arm on a table so that the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart. Rest comfortably in a relaxed environment for at least 15 minutes prior to taking your blood pressure measurement. Once you feel relaxed, begin inflating the cuff by rapidly squeezing the inflation bulb until you have reached approximately 30-40 mmHg higher than your normal systolic reading. If your normal systolic blood pressure reading is unknown, inflate the cuff to 180 mmHg (never inflate higher than 299 mmHg). When the desired pressure has been achieved, release the inflation bulb. Once inflation stops, the measurement is started. As the cuff deflates, decreasing numbers will appear on the display. When the measurement is complete the Heartbeat symbol stops flashing and your blood pressure and pulse rates are displayed on the screen. And remember, always consult your physician for specific information about your blood pressure.

The Importance of Home Blood Pressure Monitoring
Doctors, diabetes educators, physician assistants, nurses, and other healthcare professionals all recommend home blood pressure monitoring for various reasons. Home monitoring provides your healthcare professionals with better information to understand and manage your high blood pressure. Many types of hypertension can only be detected by monitoring your blood pressure at home, including:

• White-Coat Hypertension: blood pressure reading is high in your doctor's office but lower at home
• Masked Hypertension: blood pressure reading is low in doctor's office but higher at home
• Morning Hypertension: blood pressure reading is higher in the morning

Additionally, many factors can affect your blood pressure, including physical exertion, emotional fluctuations, medications, and stress. So having your blood pressure monitored at a pharmacy with an in-store device after you've been shopping or walking around might not provide you with the most accurate measurement. Monitoring your blood pressure at home allows you achieve a relaxed state more easily, and it gives you the flexibility to take your measurements at various times during the day. By keeping track of your home blood pressure readings, you can provide your healthcare professional with a log of your measurements over time. This can help them evaluate the effectiveness or need for medication.

Q&A - Blood Pressure Monitors

What is IntelliSense?
The IntelliSense Monitor inflates the cuff to the ideal level with each use. No adjustments are required by the user to select an inflation level. This is especially convenient for hypertensive users and for people with certain arrhythmia or heart disorders, because their blood pressure is more likely to fluctuate. The advantage is fast personalized inflation for maximum comfort.
What is a ComFit cuff?
The patented pre-formed cuff expands to fit regular and large arms comfortably and easily.
How is an Irregular Heartbeat Shown?
This advanced monitor can detect irregular heartbeats while your blood pressure is being measured. If an irregular heartbeat is detected, an accurate blood pressure reading is displayed along with the irregular heartbeat symbol.
What is Morning Hypertension?
The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends you take blood pressure readings in the early morning and evening. With the touch of a button you can review an eight week history of your morning and evening weekly blood pressure averages.

Summary: Omron HEM-432C Works great
Comment: This product is super easy to use and understand. I like that it's light and the numbers are large. My blood pressure tends to run low and my doctor told me to drink more fluids as I get dizzy all the time. I opted to use the manual pump like the doctor's use. I like it and saved a few dollars. I've had no trouble with this unit and have already recommended it to a friend.

Summary: Great Monitor!!!
Comment: I would highly recommend this blood pressure unit over any wrist monitor. It is extremely accurate, very easy to use, and light as a feather. I wished I would have purchased this a long time ago. This precise monitor is very affordable as well. Omron sells only quality products, that is why I purchased the Omron.

Summary: Two of these units that I have tried give completely unreliable results - buy at your risk!
Comment: I have just left the negative feedback below on the Omron site after repeated failures to get any readings at all (Error code displays) alternating with readings that are completely wrong (obviously way too high): The first unit is two years old but has hardly been used, and the second unit I just got yesterday and (non)works identically:

"I have tried 2 HEM-432CN2 units and neither one works as advertised, and both exhibit the same symptoms - an E code which I am told by your customer service is a cuff error. I have confirmed that the cuff is the correct one for my arm size. My doctor's nurse is unable to get it to work, and I have called your customer service number and worked with them on the line to make sure I am putting the cuff on and pumping correctly and rapidly enough, and still it does not work reliably. Even when I do get it to display a reasonable looking number, it is some 20-25 points higher than my doctor gets with his machine, which is the difference between completely satisfactory at 130 Systolic and completely unsatisfactory at more than 150 with the Omron. I am forced to conclude that it is a bad design and should be removed from the market, and plan to leave more feedback to that effect on the Amazon customer reviews for the unit (I see there that there are a lot of people having similar issues)."Omron HEM-432C Manual Inflation Blood Pressure MonitorManual Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor, by Omron, Model: HEM-432C - 1 eaOmron HEM 432C Digital Blood Pressure MonitorOmron HEM 432C Digital Blood Pressure Monitor-Manual InflationOmron HEM-432C Manual Inflation Blood Pressure MonitorOmron Manual Blood Pressure Monitor HEM-432CManual Blood Pressure MonitorManual Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor

Summary: Uses AAA Batteries
Comment: Although all the information (even Omron's own web site) says this model uses AA batteries, it does in fact use AAA batteries. I still give it 5 stars for its ease of use and accuracy. Some years ago I got an automatic self-inflating model (different brand) and constantly got errors. I took this model to my doctor and compared it to his equipment. It is very accurate. I'm very happy with this purchase. The standard cuff should be good for the majority of people.

Summary: Accurate
Comment: I have used the Omron HEM-432C Manual Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor for the last 2 or 3 weeks. I took it to my doctor and it was accurate. I am happy with my purchase. I read that at home devices have to be calibrated after a while. This is the only thing I am concerned about since I don't know how to go about doing this and I did not see anything in the instructions. If anyone knows please tell me how. Thanks.
