I have an elevated blood pressure and decided that I need to monitor it to find the best combination of food, exercise, and natural healing methods to keep it in control without medication. The specification of the monitor, printed in the manual, is: accuracy of measured blood pressure +/- 3 mm Hg, and +/-5% for pulse. This looks great on paper. This means, if your blood pressure is 150, the readings should be within 147 to 153 range. To validate the specified accuracy, I took 9 consecutive measurements, separated by 60 seconds between the end of the previous measurement (when the cuff deflates completely) and the beginning of the new one. I expected my blood pressure to be in the mid-140s range. Here are the 9 readings for my systolic pressure:
161 - 152 - 144 - 164 - 152 - 160 - 146 - 160 - 152
Can anyone tell me what my systolic blood pressure is? If it is 161, I have a serious problem. If it is 144, is elevated, but kind of OK. The range from 144 to 164 is 20 mm Hg. It is not anywhere close to the stated +/-3 mm Hg accuracy. Note, nothing changed in my condition within about 16-18 mins which it took to collect these 9 measurements. I did not remove or readjust the cuff. I was sitting at the same table occupied just with this test. I was just watching the time, pressing the button, and taking measurements. There is no reason to think that my blood pressure would fluctuate that much and so randomly when sit in a relaxed position. The only conclusion that I can make is that this monitor is wildly inaccurate and cannot be trusted.
Since it does not meet the spec and cannot be used to make a reasonable conclusion how high my blood pressure it, I consider it not working and sending it back. Looking at other reviews here on this Amazon page, it became clear that I made a mistake and bought a monitor which is consistently inaccurate, as reported by many users. It seems to be not a failing unit which I was lucky to get, but a systemic issue with a poorly designed product.
Not that it matters with the monitor so inaccurate that it cannot be used at all, but a few words on overall impression from its features. It has memory for 100 last readings for each of two users, which is nice. The user interface is a little primitive, for today's standards - a touch screen is definitely missing. But on the other hand, liquid crystals display might be more battery-friendly. It would be hard to set up without a manual, but since the manual in included and is very detailed, everything can be set up by pressing a sequence of buttons to set up date and time, and everything works.
The platinum version which I got also has the ability of automatically taking 3 measurements and averaging them to improve accuracy. Turning this feature on or off or changing the pause between the measurements through pressing a sequence of buttons is a pain as one has to go through the complete setup process from the very beginning. Another good reason for a lower rating. Given such wild fluctuation of readings in individual measurements, I would not trust the average, although the variability of average is, as expected, lower.
OMRON recommends that users install an application "OMRON connect", available for iPhones and Android phones. The app connects to the monitor via Bluetooth. Reportedly, one can quicker set up the monitor via the app, and one can view the history of measurements on the phone. I downloaded the app, but immediately run into a MAJOR RED FLAG when trying to start it - in order to use the app, one has to create an OMRON account, provide some personal health related data (like date of birth, weight, etc.), and agree to receive marketing information. I see absolutely no reason why OMRON should have access to my health information (this company is not my doctor) and why they should have the option of selectively spamming me based on my blood pressure readings. If I had a good level of respect for OMRON based on their "brand name" status, this respect has fallen down the cliff once I saw their app. No wonder, it has 2.1 stars rating on Google. This rating is partly affected by the problem which I outlined above, and partly by poor and unstable connection to the monitor and lack of functionality, reported by many users. Also, users report that most useful features of this app are not free.
UPDATE 12/31/2019: I returned the Omron Platinum monitor and purchased a different model, Omron Evolve (also ordered through Amazon) - the price was about the same. Evolve is a single-piece monitor which according to OMRON has more sensors than any other consumer level model. There is no tube which connects the cuff to the unit with pump and display. My hope was that the monitor would be able to detect BP more reliably because its sensors do not need to "listen" to the pulse through the long connecting air pipe. I had a better success with Evolve! Here are 6 consecutive readings for systolic pressure taken with Evolve:
142 - 143 - 148 - 143 - 144 - 146
This fits into +/- 3 mm Hg tolerance and is much more stable. The readings are where I expected them to be. Evolve did not come with a carrying case and the cuff is a little more stiff than that of Omron Platinum, but at least it works for me and gives consistent readings within the specified tolerances.
Setup
Setup is easy and everything you need is in the box. The cuff has the tubing already attached, so you just need to insert the tube end into the left side of the machine. No need to look for batteries. They are included and are inserted in the bottom of the machine. It also comes with an AC adapter. Instructions are clear on how to start up the machine and set things like date, time, how many times you want to take your BP for averaging, the interval between and setting up the machine to work with the Omron Connect App.
Taking your BP
If you have never taken your BP before, I suggest that you talk to your doctor or at least read online on what to do (and not do) before taking a reading and how to properly place the cuff on your arm. The manual does mention all of this, but at a higher level with the exception of using the cuff and the operating the machine because their focus is on the use of their product, not educating you on what to do before – that’s your job and I won’t get into the placement and alignment. Taking the reading is simple put the cuff on as instructed, select your profile from the switch (1 or 2) then press the START/STOP button. The cuff will inflate and deflate, if you have select to do averaging, it will do it multiple times, then at the end, it will give you your BP and heart rate.
Display
The display is white text on black background which is opposite of most LCD screens. I found that this setup made it easier to read in varying light conditions and the text appears sharper than most displays I have seen. Systolic, diastolic and heart rate numbers are in large, easy to read text. It will also show you your last reading on the left side of the screen. At times there is a lot of information on the screen, but not really all that important or necessary, for example, inflate and deflate and some others – you know it is happening because you can feel it. If not, you got a bigger problem than your BP.
Accuracy
From my experience with the monitor is that it is accurate to within 2 mmHg. My readings were done at a consistent time, sitting with cuff at proper height on arm, 5 -7 minutes rest period prior, without eating for 30 minutes prior, no coffee or exercise prior to it, and 1 minute interval between consecutive readings. I used the devices 3 reading average BP and also ran 3 individual readings and dropping the first (normally most inaccurate) then average the last two. The averages matched within the mentioned mmHg that my friend, who is a doctor, took for me during my evaluation across several days using the “old fashion” method. If you read the reviews from people that said the device was highly inaccurate, there was a high likelihood of user error, even as simple as probably not remaining still or setting the interval too close on the multiple reading setting.
Omron Connect app
You don’t have to use the app as the device has internal storage for a lot of readings, but I like having all my data on my phone to give me a complete picture of weight, activity, BP, pulse, ecg, etc. The device pairs to the phone via Bluetooth, not wi-fi (like the Withings). You transfer the readings to your phone by going into the app and pressing the sync button. This is where the app gets a little wonky. Sometimes, it sync on its own, sometimes you have to press the button, sometimes it fails to get the data for find the device. But, it tells you what to do to fix the issue. Not a big deal for me, but definitely not as seamless as the Withings which immediately transfer the readings via wi-fi to the phone. This is only feature, to me, that requires more work.
Overall, I am very pleased with my experience with the product and have recommended it to other family members and friends.

Using this garbage seriously only raises my BP, my readings are all over the place. I was recently admitted to Emergency during COVID19 for a condition completely unrelated to any cardiac condition. While in Emergency, I was hooked up to a hypertension monitor and EKG monitor for over 12 hrs and my BP was consistent at 138/78 and no irregular heartbeat, this is while experiencing severe anxiety due to COVID19 risks which naturally elevated my BP.
Prior to my hospital visit, I had a Omron 3 series which was giving unusually high numbers at home for no apparent reason so after my hospital visit, I decided to upgrade to the Omron Platinum monitor thinking I would get more reliable numbers but I got anything but accuracy. My readings were all over the place from extreme highs to unusual lows...a couple of times I thought I was having a heart attack. Not only were the readings inaccurate but the monitor frequently detected irregular heartbeat (mostly on the App readings but rarely detected on the monitor itself). I have never had an irregular heartbeat before and I just completed a medical EKG ordered by my cardiologist a couple month prior to my hospital visit. I was honestly getting up to four to six irregular heartbeat readings a day sometimes for no reason. I strongly feel the irregular heartbeat readings were manipulated in order to promote their Cardia EKG home monitor which I bought but it never detected any irregular heartbeat either so I sent it back. I informed my cardiologist of my bizarre readings with my new monitor so I was sent for another medical EKG test very recently and again, no irregular heartbeat was detected.
Bluetooth connectivity is a complete joke. It sometimes takes anywhere from 3-8 attempts to connect and sometimes I just stop trying because it just won't transfer the data which is supposed to transfer automatically within 24 hrs but never ever does. As mentioned earlier, the true read readings on the app chronically indicate irregular heartbeat but this indicator does not show on the monitor. I've even had a couple of friends with no hypertension conditions test my unit and sure enough, their BP is elevated and readings indicated irregular heartbeat in both user 1 and user 2 so I have a very defective device or its a scam to promote the Cardia EKG monitor. I even contacted Omron to complain about bluetooth connectivity and notification issues but they where of little help.
I was also receiving constant notifications to measure my BP or EKG from both devices even though I never set notifications up and I was still receiving notification to do an EKG test every morning at 9:00 AM even after I deleted the Cardia EKG App and returned the device. I had to literally turn off everything on the Omron app to stop these bizarre notification, only then did they stop which confirms the link between Omron and Cardia EKG home monitor.
This useless garbage is being returned because after 8 attempts to transfer data, it just doesn't work, it worked fine two days ago but today it is impossible to transfer the data and I am tired of this unnecessary frustration from a device I paid $140 for peace of mind. Incidentally, my BP is consistent at 120/82 using one of my friends devices and I sometimes get this reading mixed in with the unusually high readings. I simply do not trust this product or company for that matter. For that matter, I also no longer trust these Amazon high rating customer reviews which I based this purchase on so I won't rely on that information ever again to make future purchases.
If anyone using this product is getting chronic irregular heartbeat readings, see you doctor and get a medical EKG test before considering purchasing the Cardia EKG home monitor and if your readings are unusually high like my experience, have your BP tested with your doctor and take your monitor with you and if their is significant discrepancy in readings like mine were, return your device and consider a more reliable manufacturer of hypertension monitors and do not rely on the customer ratings as the determining factor for your purchase like I did...Good Luck!
The only thing I'm not crazy about is the comment that goes along with each reading. I don't believe they're accurate. ie. for 116/80 it says Hypertension Stage 1 … for 124/75 it says Elevated. But this is what their chart says. My doctor says to ignore those comments ...it's the numbers that matter. She said those readings were good. I also like the fact that the readings transfer so easily on my cell. Would I recommend it … yes.
Support at Omron.ca was bullying, unhelpful and just hung up.
