To take an accurate reading, first position the green marker directly over the artery on the inside of your arm. | 
Next, place your arm on a table so the cuff is positioned at the same level as your heart. | Instructions for 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 green marker; position this marker directly over the artery on the inside of your arm. Next, secure the cuff with the Velcro material. 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, simply press the start button and remain still. The cuff will begin to inflate and numbers will appear on the display as the heart symbol flashes. When the measurement is complete, the cuff will deflate, and your blood pressure and pulse rate will display on the screen. If you need to stop the measurement at any time, simply press the on/off button and the monitor will immediately deflate. And remember, always consult your physician for specific information about your blood pressure.
What is IntelliSense?
The IntelliSense monitor inflates the cuff to the ideal level with each use -- you never have to make any adjustments 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 so likely to fluctuate. The biggest advantage of using the IntelliSense technology is a personalized inflation every time for maximum comfort.
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.

I have tried a Life Source blood pressure monitor and always get wide range of results. But with the Omron HEM-780 the reading is not that far apart.
Any new user will have no problem using this instrument.
I will surely recommend this product to my family and friends. But I am not sure this is available here in the Philippines.

I read through lots of Amazon reviews for blood pressure monitors before buying the Omron HEM-780. It had many great reviews and extra features I wanted, like the stroke alert and memory storage for two people, which I needed to record both left and right arm pressure. Unfortunately, I seem to have gotten a lemon. I became alarmed when my blood pressure measured even higher than at the doctor's office. I brought the Omron to my next doctor appointment and discovered the Omron was consistently 20 ... Read More

Our physcian recommended Omron as the best. We were using another brand,but the physcian felt that for accuracy and reliability for monitoring purposes this was superior.
We are happy with it knowing that we no longer need to be concerned with the readings.

Checked monitor several times against traditional blood pressure cuff with auscultation of blood pressure and this one is very accurate. Easy to apply blood pressure cuff. I like the three reading average. Price was awesome. Originally purchased another type for same price and it was not accurate at all and entire unit was very cheaply made. This product is highly recommended.

As a person who is not in the medical field, I find this blood pressure monitoring kit to be very useful and handy to use.
It is a little bit too big to carry along during your trip, specially if you are flying.
