Which cuff for Omron BP762 Blood Pressure Meter
Hogwild:
Hi everyone:
My aunt has an Omron BP762 digital blood pressure meter. The meter started throwing errors. After troubleshooting, I'm convinced that the electronics are fine, and that it's only the cuff that's bad. I'd like to replace just the cuff. Omron was completely uncooperative when I called to ask about that. They said they didn't keep that information. No part numbers ever seem to be on their cuffs either.
Does anyone have any references on which cuffs are compatible with which Omron B/P machines?
Thanks

Try looking at a local drugstore or somewhere like Walmart. You can also probably order online.

A completely new Omron BPM is around $30. Why bother?

I have an Omron BP762 and it's a piece of junk, it never gives the same readings and sometimes spits out an error code. Do another run and it gets data. Try another run and it's way different numbers. Emailed Omron support and never heard back from them. List is $100. I'd toss it in the garbage, they don't support it.
The cuff you can blow up like a balloon and see if it leaks. Also check the hose & fittings for leaks.
I think putting on the cuff with the hose connected to the base overpressures things, although the manual advises to 1st connect the hose. Seems mean to a pressure sensor.
Inside the Omron is a hose and a few fittings to the pressure transducer.

Thanks. I'm in Canada, so ordering from the US is only practical if shipping is not too expensive. Otherwise, it's not worth it.
I don't wish to throw out the unit. Comparable units, by the time you throw in shipping and taxes come to over $100.00. And I don't like throwing stuff into the landfill.
I think her readings are generally consistent-within a few points of each other.
