Blood pressure reading 150/76. Manual Blood pressure 130/72



Please let me know if this OMRON machine needs to be calibrated. Why the difference in blood pressures between both devices. I am a nurse who took my dad's BP manually, after he was sitting for 10 minutes. We took the digital BP right after the manual blood pressure was taken.

Is there a calibration option for this machine.

A monitor using Hg is only a valid monitor reading. Most electronic devices produce approximate results and are mostly good for taking several readings daily and obtaining a mean daily BP. Device calibration appears to be not accessible to the the user.Also, depending on age & condition of your dad, sequential reading must take place after elapse of enough time for circulation to be at steady state in the arm again, or if you immediately after a measurement make another, even with the same monitor you will obtain a different result.

Omron bp710

I use Omron blood pressure monitors and I can say that they are up to the mark. Their readings are very accurate and have not caused any problems so far.

BEFORE TAKING THE READING DONT USE IT BEFORE COMING UP FROM STEPS OR SUDDENLY WALKING AND TAKING READING

I need to know that my blood pressure monitor readings are still accurate. Where can I get my Boots (Omron) blood pressure monitor re collaborated? Thank you.

Generally, the recalibration has to be done by the manufacturer, as the calibration has to be certified. Most manufacturers charge little or nothing for this service. Contact the number in your Owner's Manual concerning how they want you to send it to them.

Hope this helped and thanks for choosing FixYa.

My Omron HEM-780 needs to be calibrated. It seems to read about 20 points lower than the blood pressure unit used in my doctor's office. I am not sure if the HEM-780 is capable of being calibrated or...

Recalibration normally has to be done by the manufacturer. As they have to certify the calibration. Keep in mind, that it is not unusual for your BP to read a bit higher at the doctor's office, than it does at home. It's sarcastically called "White coat hypertension." Which translated means, your blood pressure rises a bit at the doctor's office due to anxiety. Or it's being taken at a different time of day, than you take it at home, in a relaxed atmosphere.

Hope this helped you.

My Omron HEM-712C digital blood pressure monitor is pretty consistently showing my pressure at 140-155 /80-95, but when my blood pressure was taken at a medical appointment yesterday, it was 92/63 -- a...

First, I do not believe there is any accurate way to measure blood pressure without having a valve installed; not a practical alternative.
The standard method using an arm-cuff and stethoscope is highly dependent on the person doing the measurement. Once my hearing started to fail, I had to go to a digital meter and found after three of these which failed and comparing my current Samsung to three different methods; manual, an elaborate 'calibrated' digital on a stand and another 'calibrated' cuff-type during an examination by a professional, none of these agreed better than 10-15 mm and the worst was 25-30 mm apart.
Using the average of those 'profis,' my current wrist-type digital measures about 10 points low on both systolic and diastolic so I just ignore the absolute numbers and use it only to determine relative deviations. For that, mine is repeatable enough.

Where do I get my omron bp monitor calibrated

I assume you mean checked for accuracy - something that you should do every two years. I assume you live in Canada or the US, if so please contact OMRON at the number below. They will be able to direct you to a service centre near you.

Inaccurate reading

I'm not sure why you need it calibrated if your Docotor says it's accurate but here is a web site link....
