Complete 2-in-1 Blood Pressure Monitor + EKG for Home Use

Setup & Bluetooth Pairing Getting this 2-in-1 monitor set up right out of the box was very straightforward. I downloaded the companion app onto my Pixel 10 Pro without any issues. While the device had a slight hitch pairing on the very first attempt, the second attempt went through perfectly and it has connected flawlessly every single time I have opened the app since. Design & Build Quality The overall construction of the unit feels premium and well-made. The digital display on the base is crisp and easy to read. As for the upper arm cuff, it is easy to put on—standard for any blood pressure monitor. It can be a little tricky to secure tightly with one hand, but that is a universal challenge with arm cuffs rather than a flaw with this specific model. The App Experience & One Quirk The companion app is user-friendly, tracks history cleanly, and maps out blood pressure and EKG trends over time in a way that is easy to understand. My only real complaint is a functional quirk: you have to manually turn off NFC on your phone to run the EKG test. I understand this prevents signal interference with the sensors, but I wish the app would automatically re-enable NFC once the test concludes. Accuracy & Reliability While I have not yet taken this to a doctor's office to calibrate it directly against a clinical reading, the numbers feel consistent and well within the expected range for a home monitoring device. It serves as a great baseline to judge whether a medical visit is necessary. Crucially, both the blood pressure and EKG readings register successfully on the first try every single time. I previously tried the OxyLine Pro, but returned it due to constant app syncing headaches. The OMRON has been a massive upgrade in reliability. Value Verdict I managed to grab this unit on sale for around $100. Given that smart-syncing blood pressure monitors without EKG capability often hover around a similar price point, getting a highly reliable 2-in-1 device that handles both metrics flawlessly makes this an exceptional value.

I felt that I needed to submit this review since some prior reviews were somewhat negative. However, most of the latter was due to sensitivities associated with privacy, some problems with connecting to Bluetooth, and the fact that it uses AA batteries which is unfair. As for privacy, it no longer needs to send your initial results for calibration. It starts tracking and monitoring from the first use. As for the batteries, I've used mine now 2-3 times daily for 2 weeks and no battery issues. In fact, I like the fact that it's so portable. So here's my review. Download the Omron Connect app to your phone. Be sure your phone is on bluetooth. Be sure you have a good WiFi signal. Go to your phone settings to monitor for connected devices. Push the bluetooth search button on the Omron unit. Accept the connection on your phone. When you start the Omron Connect app, you will need to sign-up for an account. Yes, it will ask for your permission to send your data to Omron so that they can monitor. The free service is all I use. There is a separate, included piece of paper with the unit that says that you no longer need to have your first EKG reviewed by a doctor for "calibration" purposes. I didn't sign up for any of the subscriptions yet I still find what I get for free from the app to be perfect. I can list all my past blood pressure (BP) readings and send them as an Excel file to myself or doctor by email for tracking. I can send a snapshot of any EKG reading (it stores them on the phone, I think there's a limit as to how many it stores, I have 2 weeks of EKG right now) and send it by email also. The app lets you chart BP by days, weeks, months. I really don't need anything else. So with your account created and the Omron Connect open and running on the phone, go to the Dashboard on the app and select the "Blood Pressure + EKG" option, scroll down a little and you's see a button that says "Record Blood Pressure and EKG". Push it and it will bring up an instruction screen that says to connect the BP cuff to your arm, push the "START/STOP" button on the Omron Unit, and place your thumbs and fingers on the metal sensing pads." So here is where its a little tricky. You need to actually have the Unit OFF since when you press the "START/STOP" button it will in effect turn off if its on. So i usually just set up my phone, place it in the convenient resting cradle on the unit, attach the cuff, and then turn the unit on. It starts automatically. After the EKG is done, wait until your BP reading shows up on the UNIT and then lift your fingers/thumbs off the unit. Everything is stored automatically. It doesn't take too many tries before you figure out how to use the unit. You get an instantaneous review of your BP and EKG on your phone. This unit is perfect. I can see why this unit will save lives. The feedback is instant and you can check it several times (though be sure to release the cuff and wait a few minutes between readings). If it takes a few times to get it to work for you be sure you disregard the first few readings as your BP probably went up a bit due to the "stress" associated with getting to know how it works. Once you have it down, it always works. I highly recommend this unit and this company. This is a real medical instrument by the best company in the business. (I gave the accuracy only 4 stars since I don't really know how accurate it is; but it is the only home BP and EKG unit that is accredited so I trust it).

Omron products are so dependable. Our 6 year old BP Omron still worked great but we wanted to upgrade to add the EKG. This model pairs well with our Samsung androids. We both use it so we need to put one of our phones in airplane mode or turn off Bluetooth while the other person is using it to prevent the information being recorded on both phone apps. It saves data and can produce a report to take to the doctors for appointments.

Here are some of the many reasons this is a horrible purchase. * One user only. * No guest mode. * Can’t easily remove another person’s BP reading from the app. * EKG requires the app open. * Needs Bluetooth AND microphone access. * Transmits the EKG using sound. * And apparently your phone case may have to come off so the microphone lines up properly. I expected a lot more from the OMRON Complete BP7900, especially for the price. The blood pressure readings seem fine & I liked the idea of having both blood pressure/EKG in one device. Unfortunately, the actual user experience is incredibly frustrating. This expensive monitor is SINGLE USER only. There is no User 1/User 2 option and no guest mode, so if another person in your household uses it, their readings can get mixed in with yours. Even worse, I have not found a simple way to delete an individual blood pressure reading from the app afterward. The EKG feature is also much more cumbersome than expected. It requires the OMRON Connect app, Bluetooth, microphone access, and the phone has to sit correctly in the monitor’s holder because the EKG signal is transmitted using high-frequency sound. With my phone case on, I couldn’t even get it to record. For a premium-priced health monitor, this feels unnecessarily complicated and poorly designed. A household blood pressure monitor should at minimum have two-user or guest capability, especially when much less expensive OMRON models do. The concept is great, but the limitations and clunky app experience make it a bad purchase.

OMRON is a great and reliable brand. As a healthcare professional it is the only brand that I consistently recommend to people inquiring about BP Monitors. The devices are quality and reliable but they certainly are not cheap. Pros: Reliable, consistent, durable, quality, easy to use, app, reports available to share. Cons: Many units are battery only and this is a very big setback. The benefit of being able to take your unit with you is great; however, most people will be using it in the home setting where they have plenty of plugs available. As a result, this unit burns through batteries very quickly. Rechargeable batteries might be something to look into as the batteries will need to be replaced or recharged every few readings. I wish OMRON would come up with a USB rechargeable option or an AC power supply option for regular testers. Reports: OMRON has the OMRON Connect app which will capture data but many of the more useful features require a pricey subscription to access. For an expensive device, this should have been complimentary with purchase. You will be able to export your histories for free but only as Excel and CSV formats. The report format is basic numbers only, no fancy report format unless you shell out more money $. ECG is basic rhythm data. It will only identify fast, slow, and irregular heartbeats. It will not go into greater analysis of arrhythmia types so keep your expectations realistic.

Great device. I use it daily. Getting the EKF to work takes a little time and patience. For the money it’s a great purchase.

A remarkable piece of medical equipment for blood pressure and EKG readings. I compared this device against my doctor's blood pressure monitor, and the readings were spot on. This device also agrees with my Welch Allyn BP device. This Omron BP7900 monitor requires you to do an intial setup procedure, which has several steps, but is not hard to do. I had to pair it with my Iphone 15+ to run the Omron connect US/CAN/EMEA app to record and save my EKG readings. You do NOT need any extra app features...just use the basic app and you will be fine. Once you do the intial setup, this device is very easy to use. My primary care doctor, and my cardiologist were very impressed with this Omron BP7900. I've had 3 TIA's, so I need to keep a close eye on my BP numbers, and my EKG graph. I am on BP medication, so my BP numbers are fine. If you want to see a clear record of what your BP and EKG is, then buy this device NOW. I will repeat that...don't sit on the fence, buy it NOW. It could save your life if you have high blood pressure or abnormal heart rythm. Let me assure you, I do NOt work for Omron, and I am not connected with them in any way. I am just like most users...I want and need a dependable and accurate BP and EKG monitor. Conclusion: I am very satisfied with the Omron BP7900 monitor, it really works as described, and It might just save my life. I highly recommend it.

The instructions are not up to date nor is the You Tube video. But you can glean enough from both and some trial and error to get it figured out. Crazy at this price point!. I got i it to add blood pressure to the iPhone health app but not the EKG. So I use my watch for the EKG. If anyone figures this out please share... It's a well made unit but the EKG seems overly sensitive, for my part I can't get a good reading from it and I have tried multiple times. So if all you need is BP you can spend a lot less money. It does store EKG in the unit, so if that works for you your good....
