What battery does a blood pressure monitor take?

The Omron upper arm monitors listed here run on four AA batteries, except the Evolv BP7000, which takes four AAA, and its BP6100, BP6350 and BP4350 wrist monitors on two AAA. Some upper arm models can use an AC adapter instead.

Omron’s AC adapter

Omron’s HEM-ADPTW5 adapter, also sold as the HHP-AM01, lists the monitors it works with, including older models such as the BP742, BP760, BP785 and HEM-780.

Omron’s own product pages for the Complete BP7900 and the Evolv BP7000 say they aren’t compatible with an AC adaptor, while the adapter’s list includes both. Check the monitor’s manual before getting an adapter for either one.

Common questions

What should I do after changing the batteries in a Braun ExactFit 3?

Braun says to always reset the date and time after fitting new batteries in the ExactFit 3 BUA6150, so its readings are stored with the right date and time.
