The verdict
The Platinum BP5465 is an Omron upper-arm monitor with two user profiles, Bluetooth sync and, Omron says, AFib screening on every reading. It suits you if you want those features and a six-year warranty. The catch: no accuracy study of the BP5465 itself was found. Omron's accuracy table lists it as meeting ISO 81060-2, but its validated list names the earlier BP5450. For a model on the AMA's list, look at the Omron Evolv BP7000 or the 3 Series BP7150.
The trade-off
The accuracy studies we found tested the BP5450, and it shows no blood pressure reading when it flags a possible AFib.

A GOOD FIT FOR
You want an Omron upper-arm monitor with two user profiles, AFib screening on every reading and a six-year warranty.
- You want an upper-arm monitor that Omron says screens each reading for possible AFib
- Two people share one monitor and each wants 100 readings stored on it
- Your upper arm measures 9 to 17 inches, or 7 to 9 inches with the optional small cuff
- You want a long warranty: six years on the monitor
THINK TWICE IF
- You're pregnant, under 22 or have an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator: Omron says the monitor isn't intended for you
- You want a model whose own number is on Omron's validated list, which names the BP5450, not the BP5465
- You want to see every reading: the monitor shows no blood pressure reading when it flags a possible AFib
- You want to diagnose or manage AFib: Omron says the feature is a screen for the possibility only
What still needs checking
- Whether the AMA's validated device listing includes the BP5465 itself, since no entry turned up and Omron's list names the BP5450
- Any published accuracy study of the BP5465
- Which 510(k) covers the BP5465's blood pressure measurement: FDA's device listing shows only the De Novo number for the AFib feature
- Amazon's current price and return terms
- Battery and replacement cuff prices
- Price of the OMRON connect premium tier
- Housing and cuff materials
Is the Omron Platinum accurate?
Omron’s earlier Platinum, the BP5450, passed an ISO 81060-2 accuracy test in 86 adults11. No accuracy test of the BP5465 sold now was found11.
In that 2023 study, readings differed from a mercury reference by 1.9 mm Hg systolic and 3.6 mm Hg diastolic on average11. Omron paid for the study through a grant to Northwestern University, the US National Institutes of Health also supported it, and Omron chose the monitors11. For the BP5465, Omron’s manual says it was clinically investigated under ISO 81060-2:2013, with 85 subjects used to check diastolic pressure2. That’s Omron’s statement, not an outside result.
Is the Omron Platinum validated?
The AMA lists the older BP5450. We couldn’t find a listing for the BP54654. Omron’s list of monitors on the US Validated Device Listing names the BP5450, not the BP54654. Omron’s accuracy table lists the BP5465 as meeting ISO 81060-2 without naming a study of it. It cites the same numbered references as the BP71504.
The AMA’s listing for the BP5450 shows a home device validated under ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2:2009 for a 22 to 42 cm cuff7. That page is from an archived copy, so check validatebp.org for the model number before you buy7.
The practical details.
| Exact variant | Platinum BP5465 (HEM-7382T1-AZAZ), AFib screening, cuff for 9 to 17 in arms |
|---|---|
| Cuff and arm size | A wide-range D-ring cuff for upper arms 9 to 17 in (22 to 42 cm) comes in the box. An optional small D-ring cuff (HEM-CS24-B) fits 7 to 9 in (17 to 22 cm). Omron lists a replacement wide-range cuff as HEM-RML31-B |
| AFib screening | Omron says one blood pressure measurement is enough to screen for possible AFib. When the monitor flags a possible AFib, it shows no blood pressure reading. Omron's manual says the feature isn't a diagnosis, doesn't catch every episode, and that no flag doesn't mean AFib is absent |
| Irregular heartbeat | The monitor warns of irregular heartbeats detected during a measurement and shows the warning with the reading. Omron's spec table lists no irregular heartbeat count |
| Memory and users | 200 readings in the monitor, 100 for each of two users, plus a guest mode. The OMRON connect app stores readings without a limit |
| Display and averaging | A backlit LCD with extra-large digits shows the new reading beside the previous one, unless AFib is flagged. TruRead takes three readings at 15, 30 or 60 seconds or 2 minutes apart and shows the average. Advanced Averaging averages up to three readings taken within 10 minutes |
| Indicators | A hypertension indicator shows on the display. A High Morning Average indicator shows HIGH when the morning average reaches 130 systolic or 80 diastolic mmHg, Omron says. Omron says the monitor also detects body movement during a measurement |
| Range and accuracy | Systolic 60 to 260 mmHg, diastolic 40 to 215 mmHg and pulse 40 to 180 beats a minute. Omron lists accuracy of plus or minus 3 mmHg for pressure and 5% of the reading for pulse |
| Power and battery life | Four AA batteries (included) or the included AC adapter. Omron's manual says about 500 measurements on new alkaline batteries with the included cuff, depending on battery type and cuff size |
| App | Bluetooth Low Energy sync to the free OMRON connect app on select iOS and Android devices. The app has a free tier and a premium tier with a 30-day free trial. The page checked shows no premium price |
| Intended users | Adults 22 and older, at home. Omron says it isn't intended for pregnant women or people with an implanted pacemaker or defibrillator. Omron also says it hasn't been validated for people with AFib or for pregnant patients |
| Service life | Monitor: 5 years or 30,000 uses. Cuff: 5 years or 10,000 uses. AC adapter: 5 years. Omron says not to use the monitor after its durable period ends |
| In the box | Monitor, wide-range D-ring cuff, storage case, four AA batteries, AC adapter, instruction manual and quick start guide |
| Dimensions | Monitor about 7.5 x 3.3 x 4.6 in (191 x 85 x 117 mm) and 15.9 oz (450 g) without batteries, per Omron. Its product page and manual disagree on which number is length, width or height, so no axis names are given. The wide-range D-ring cuff is about 5.7 x 23.4 in and 6 oz, with a 29.5 in air tube. |
| Materials | Not stated by the manufacturer. Omron says its home blood pressure monitors, cuffs and AC adapters are latex-free, but it doesn't name the housing or the cuff fabric. |
Before you buy
InstallationNo installation
No installation. Four AA batteries and an AC adapter come in the box. Wrap the cuff on your upper arm with its bottom edge 0.5 inch (1 to 2 cm) above the inside elbow. Run the air tube down the inside of your arm. Pairing with the OMRON connect app over Bluetooth is optional, and the monitor keeps readings for two users without it.
WarrantySix years on the monitor, per Omron's product page
Six years on the monitor, per Omron's product page. The manual gives the cuff and AC adapter one year and excludes batteries. Coverage is limited to the original retail buyer and units bought from an Omron-authorized seller. Omron replaces a covered unit at its option as your only remedy. Omron's warranty page sends you to the manual for the terms. To claim, call Omron for the inspection center's address and any return shipping and handling fee. Omron's warranty page says to ship the unit prepaid and insured, with the receipt and a letter.
ReturnsNot stated by the manufacturer
Not stated by the manufacturer. Omron's pages give no return window. Omron says it sells the Platinum only on Amazon.com, so returns follow that seller's terms, which weren't checked.
More about this assessment
The Platinum BP5465 is an Omron upper-arm monitor with two user profiles, a backlit screen and Bluetooth sync to the free OMRON connect app. Omron's old BP5450 page now redirects to this model. Omron says every reading also screens for possible AFib, and FDA's device listing places the BP5465 under a De Novo order for that feature. Omron's MSRP is $90.99, and Omron says it sells the Platinum only on Amazon.com. Omron's accuracy table lists the BP5465 as meeting ISO 81060-2, but its list of monitors on the validated device listing names the BP5450, and no BP5465 study turned up. The BP5450 passed an ISO 81060-2 accuracy test that Omron paid for and the NIH also supported.

Recorded recurring parts and refills:
- Four AA batteries (an AC adapter is included): price not stated. Omron's manual says new alkaline batteries last about 500 measurements. Omron doesn't price batteries or say how many months that is for you. The included AC adapter can power the monitor instead.
- Replacement wide-range D-ring cuff (HEM-RML31-B): price not stated. Omron's manual gives the cuff a service life of 5 years or 10,000 uses, and its warranty covers the cuff for one year. Omron's US site shows no cuff price.
- Purchase is Omron's $90.99 MSRP on Oct 23, 2026, before tax and shipping. Omron says it sells the Platinum only on Amazon.com, so the price you pay may differ.
- Installation is $0. Batteries and an AC adapter come in the box, and the cuff wraps on without tools.
- Yearly consumables are left unknown. Batteries (about 500 measurements per set) and a replacement cuff after the manual's one-year cuff warranty are real costs, but Omron prices neither.
- Other yearly costs are $0 because the OMRON connect app has a free tier. Omron's premium tier has a 30-day free trial, and the page checked shows no price for it, so it isn't counted.
- Energy cost is left unknown. Omron rates the monitor at 6 V and 4.0 W but gives no typical daily use.
Evidence & sources.
Are home blood pressure monitors worth it? Our evidence review grades the research as Moderate. That grade is about the claim, not about this product.
- Manufacturer claimModel, price, specs, box contents, power, memory, warranty and app details come from Omron's product page, manual, warranty page, app page and accessories page.1356 These are Omron's own figures and weren't independently measured. Omron's product page and manual label the monitor's length, width and height differently.
- CertificationThe AMA's US Validated Device Listing includes the Omron Platinum BP5450 (labeled HEM-7311). It's a home device for general adults with a 22 to 42 cm cuff range, validated under ANSI/AAMI/ISO 81060-2:2009.7 The AMA lists the older BP5450. It labels that entry HEM-7311, while the study below tested HEM-7343T-Z, so confirm the model number. We couldn't find a listing for the BP5465, so search validatebp.org for the model number before you buy. The BP5450 page is from an Internet Archive copy captured Nov 12, 2025.
- Manufacturer claimOmron's clinical validation page names the BP5450, not the BP5465, in its list of monitors on the validated device listing. Its accuracy table has a BP5465 row (HEM-7382T1-AZAZ) marked as meeting ISO 81060-2, ESH-IP blank, and numbered references 1, 6, 21 and 25.4 This is Omron's page, not the AMA's. The numbered references are studies of other Omron models, and the table doesn't say which of them tested the BP5465.
- Published studyA 2023 study in the Journal of Human Hypertension tested the Omron Platinum BP5450 (HEM-7343T-Z) in 86 adults under the ISO 81060-2:2018/AMD 1:2020 protocol. It passed both criteria. The authors call the spread of diastolic differences between individual participants borderline. Systolic differences from a mercury reference averaged 1.9 (SD 7.0) mm Hg. Diastolic differences averaged 3.6 (SD 6.4) mm Hg.11 The monitor tested was the BP5450, not the BP5465. Omron paid for the study through a grant to Northwestern University, and the US National Institutes of Health also supported it (grant UL1 TR001422). Omron chose the monitors. The three non-Omron monitors it tested, from large US retailers, all failed the first criterion. That is why the authors stress checking validation status.
- Regulator recordFDA's device listing for Omron Healthcare, Inc. shows the BP5465 under De Novo number DEN230076, product code QXY ('oscillometric-based, over-the-counter, atrial fibrillation notification feature'). FDA's classification order names the BP7460 and BP5460. It says the feature is 'intended to be used for home screening for the possibility of AFib'.810 A De Novo is a classification order, not a 510(k) clearance, and the order doesn't name the BP5465. The feature isn't meant to flag every episode of AFib. It doesn't replace diagnosis or manage AFib, and a missing flag isn't evidence of no AFib. The order doesn't say the BP5465 is accurate for blood pressure.
- Published studyA 2024 study in Heart Rhythm enrolled 559 adults at 5 US sites. It compared Omron's AFib screening feature, in the BP7460 and BP5460, with a 12-lead ECG read by a blinded cardiologist. Sensitivity was 95.1% and specificity was 98.6%. The 95% confidence intervals were 91.8% to 97.4% for sensitivity and 96.6% to 99.7% for specificity.12 The monitors studied were the BP7460 and BP5460, which share the feature with the BP5465 under the same De Novo number. Omron supplied the monitors and paid the authors as principal investigators. Omron's manual reports similar results by subgroup (sensitivity 94.9% to 96.7%, specificity 96.9% to 99.3%). It notes that some races and ethnicities were too few to confirm sensitivity.
