Which cuff for Omron BP762 Blood Pressure Meter
<< < (3/4) > >>
nctnico:
I don't think Omron makes these machines themselves. There is a big Chinese firm which makes these kind of devices which are then rebadged under lots of different brands. You can probably find original replacement cuffs on Ebay and Aliexpress.

There are lots of replacement cuffs on eBay but cost is $15-20 with shipping or more for most. A new box at Walmart is ~$30 for a basic monitor. Doesn't seem economically feasible to risk paying that much for a cuff only.... So either patch it with a $3 bicycle repair kit or buy new. Unless cuff cost with shipping under $10 I would buy new, get warranty and option to return easily at local store.
nctnico:
Your Ebay-fu is way off. A new cuff for less than US $4 including shipping from China:

That is what I did, bought a cheap replacement cuff and used it. Nothing special about the cuff either, it has to do the exact same thing on all machines, fit around the human arm ( I bought the bigger cuff, as they come in 2 sizes plus a paediatric size for children) and connect via a rubber hose.  $5 for the new cuff locally.

While you've given a lot of good advice here, I don't think it wise to just use any cuff. Yeah, for all I know, it may be made by the same mfgr. as the Omron ones. Or it could be a cheap sh*tty knockoff which doesn't work properly. And I don't know if they're all identical in terms of how they react to air pressure. No, I don't think a B/P cuff is something for which I want to buy a generic. I'll wait until I can find a genuine at better price.

Again, for those who didn't notice the first time I posted it, there are NO B/P meters @ 40.00 in Canada. Maybe in the US, but I don't live in the US.
