Omron Platinum BP7350 Review: Discontinued, and What Replaced It
By the BP Monitor Lab editorial team · Written from manufacturer documentation and published guidance, not from our own device testing · Last checked: May 13, 2026
Omron has retired its numbered models. The BP7350 is no longer made, and the Platinum name now belongs to the BP5465. If you already own a BP7350 it is still a good monitor and there is no reason to replace a working one. If you are shopping, buy the BP5465 instead. The big change is AFib screening, which the BP7350 never had.

What We Like
- +Omron publishes ESH-IP and ISO 81060-2 validation for it.
- +TruRead mode takes 3 readings 1 minute apart and shows you the average. This matches the AHA recommended technique.
- +Large backlit display is easy to read. No squinting in a dimly lit room.
- +Two-user mode lets two people share the device and track separately.
- +Omron Connect app is well-designed. Easy to export a PDF for your doctor.
- +Comfit cuff fits arms 22 to 42 cm, covers most adults without needing a separate cuff.
What We Do Not Like
- −Bluetooth only - no Wi-Fi. You need your phone nearby to sync readings to the app.
- −AA batteries only. No USB charging.
- −Initial app pairing takes a few minutes the first time.
AHA Validation: What It Means
The American Heart Association recommends using only clinically validated devices at home. Validation means the device was tested in an independent study against a mercury sphygmomanometer and met the ISO 81060-2 accuracy criterion, which allows a mean difference of no more than ±5 mmHg and a standard deviation of no more than 8 mmHg.
The Omron Platinum BP7350 appears on the ValidateBP.org list of validated devices. Many cheap monitors on Amazon are not validated. Unvalidated monitors can read 10 to 20 mmHg off and lead to missed or false hypertension diagnoses.
Who Is This For?
The Platinum line suits most adults who want a reliable home monitor, and since the BP7350 is gone that means the BP5465 today. Either one is a good fit for:
- • People with diagnosed hypertension who monitor daily
- • People starting a new blood pressure medication and tracking response
- • Households with two adults who both want to track their numbers
- • Anyone who wants to share readings with their cardiologist or family doctor
If you prefer no Bluetooth and no app, consider the A&D UA-767F. If you want Wi-Fi auto-sync without needing your phone, see the Withings BPM Connect.

Frequently Asked Questions
Was the Omron Platinum BP7350 clinically validated?
It was. Omron publishes ESH-IP and ISO 81060-2 validation for the BP7350. The accuracy criterion allows a mean difference of no more than ±5 mmHg and a standard deviation of no more than 8 mmHg. Note that Omron no longer lists the BP7350 on its clinical validation page, because the model has been retired. The current Platinum, the BP5465, is listed there. The US Blood Pressure Validated Device Listing at validatebp.org is run by the American Medical Association. The American Heart Association writes blood pressure guidance but does not endorse or validate individual devices.
What is TruRead and does it help?
TruRead takes three consecutive readings one minute apart and averages them. This reduces single-reading variability caused by movement, stress, or position. It matches the technique recommended by the AHA 2017 Hypertension Guideline for accurate home self-monitoring.
What app does the Omron Platinum connect to?
It connects to the Omron Connect app (iOS and Android) via Bluetooth. The app logs readings, shows trends over time, and allows sharing a PDF report with your doctor. You can also log readings in Apple Health or Google Fit through the app.
What cuff size does the BP7350 come with?
It comes with a Comfit cuff that fits arm circumferences 9 to 17 inches (22 to 42 cm). This covers standard and large adult arms. If your arm is over 42 cm, you need the extra-large cuff sold separately.
How long does the battery last on the Omron Platinum?
Four AA batteries power approximately 300 measurements. The battery indicator warns you when charge is low. There is no rechargeable option on this model.
Can two people use the same BP7350?
Yes. The device stores readings for two users, 100 readings each (200 total). Each user profile tracks separately in the Omron Connect app.
What does the irregular heartbeat indicator mean?
The BP7350 flags pulse irregularity during measurement. That is a screening signal, not a diagnosis. Save recurring flags rather than deleting them and discuss the pattern with a healthcare professional, who decides whether an ECG is warranted. We do not publish a flag count that should trigger the call.
How does the Omron Platinum compare to the Withings BPM Connect?
Both are validated against ISO 81060-2. The Omron Platinum has TruRead 3-reading averaging and 2-user support. The Withings BPM Connect has Wi-Fi auto-sync without your phone present and integrates more tightly with Apple Health. Pick the Omron for averaging and multi-user. Pick the Withings for Wi-Fi convenience.
Is the BP7350 covered by FSA or HSA?
Yes. Home blood pressure monitors are an FSA-eligible and HSA-eligible medical expense in the US per IRS Publication 502. Save the receipt for reimbursement.
