Operating instructions  
3. Using the Unit  
3.1 How to Sit Correctly When Taking a Measurement  
Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get accurate  
results.  
Notes:  
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place and you should be in  
a relaxed, seated position. Make sure that the room is not too hot or  
too cold.  
• Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, or exercising for at least 30  
minutes before taking a measurement.  
• Do not move or talk during measurement.  
Correct  
Posture  
Remove tight fitting clothing from  
your upper arm, and any thick  
clothing such as a sweater.  
Do not place the cuff over thick  
clothes and do not roll up your  
sleeve if it is too tight.  
Sit upright  
with your  
back straight.  
Place your arm on a table so  
that the cuff will be at the same  
level as your heart.  
EN  
The gap between the  
chair and the top of the  
table should be between  
25cm to 30cm.  
11  
 
3.Using the Unit  
Note: You can take a measurement on either your left or right  
arm. The blood pressure can differ between the right  
arm and the left arm and therefore also the measured  
blood pressure values can be different. Omron  
recommends to always use the same arm for  
measurement. If the values between the two arms differ  
substantially, please check with your physician which  
arm to use for your measurement.  
Incorrect Posture  
• Arched back (leaning forwards)  
• Sitting cross-legged  
• Sitting on a sofa or at a low table  
so that you tend to lean forward  
These situations could lead to higher blood pressure  
values due to strain or the arm cuff being lower than the  
heart.  
If the arm cuff is at a lower position than your heart use  
cushions etc., to adjust the height of your arm.  
12  
 
3.Using the Unit  
3.2 Applying the Arm Cuff  
Be sure to wrap the arm cuff correctly so that you get accurate results.  
Measurements can be taken in light clothing. However, please remove  
thick clothes, such as sweaters, before taking a reading.  
1. Connect the air tube of the arm cuff and the inflation bulb to  
their respective air connectors.  
2. Put your left arm through the cuff  
loop.  
Note: If the cuff is not assembled,  
pass the end of the cuff  
furthest from the tubing  
through the metal D-ring to  
form a loop. The smooth  
cloth should be on the inside  
of the cuff loop.  
EN  
13  
 
3.Using the Unit  
3. Position the arm correctly.  
1) The air tube should run  
down the inside of your  
forearm and be in line with  
your middle finger.  
2) The bottom of the cuff  
should be approximately 1  
to 2 cm above your elbow.  
3) Apply the cuff to your  
upper arm so that the  
coloured marker (blue  
arrow under tube) is  
centered on the middle of  
your inner arm and points  
down the inside of the  
arm.  
Taking measurements on the right arm  
Apply the cuff so that the  
air tube is at the side of  
your elbow.

3.Using the Unit  
Important:  
• If your systolic or diastolic pressure is  
outside the standard range, the heartbeat  
symbol will blink when the measurement  
result is displayed.  
Recent research suggests that the  
following values can be used as a guide to  
high blood pressure for measurements  
taken at home.  
Systolic Blood Pressure  
Diastolic Blood Pressure  
Above 135 mmHg  
Above 85 mmHg  
This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.  
For professional office blood pressure measurement criteria,  
please refer to Chapter 9 “Some Useful Information about  
Blood Pressure”  
• Your blood pressure monitor includes an  
irregular heartbeat feature. Irregular  
heartbeats can influence the results of the  
measurement. The irregular heartbeat  
algorithm automatically determines if the  
measurement is usable or needs to be  
repeated. If the measurement results are  
affected by irregular heartbeats but the  
result is valid, the result is shown together with the irregular  
heartbeat symbol (  
the measurement to be invalid, no result is shown. If the  
irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown after you have  
taken a measurement, repeat the measurement. If the  
irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown frequently,  
please make your doctor aware of it.

Pulse  
Blood pressure  
systolic and diastolic  
blood pressure.  
If such an irregular rhythm is detected more than twice during  
measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) appears  
on the symbol when the measurement results are displayed.  
What is Arrhythmia?  
A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals that cause the  
heart to contract.  
Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is  
abnormal due to flaws in the bio-electrical system that drives  
the heartbeat. Typical symptoms are skipped heartbeats,  
premature contraction, an abnormally rapid (tachycardia) or  
slow (bradycardia) pulse. This can be caused by heart  
disease, aging, physical predisposition, stress, lack of sleep,  
fatigue etc. Arrhythmia can only be diagnosed by a doctor  
through a special examination.  
EN  
Whether the appearance of the irregular heartbeat symbol  
(
) in the results indicates arrhythmia or not can only be  
determined by an examination and diagnosis by your doctor.  
Warning:  
If the irregular heartbeat symbol (  
) is shown  
frequently, please make your doctor aware of it.  
Conducting self-diagnosis and treatment based on  
measurement results is dangerous. Be sure to follow the  
instructions of your doctor.

8.Technical Data  
Important information regarding Electro  
Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)  
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC’s and mobile  
(cellular) telephones, medical devices in use may be susceptible to  
electromagnetic interference from other devices. Electromagnetic interference  
may result in incorrect operation of the medical device and create a potentially  
unsafe situation.  
Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.  
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility)  
with the aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the EN60601-1-2 standard  
has been implemented. This standard defines the levels of immunity to  
electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic  
emissions for medical devices.  
This medical device manufactured by OMRON Healthcare conforms to this  
EN60601-1-2:2001 standard for both immunity and emissions.  
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:  
• Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices, which generate  
strong electrical or electromagnetic fields, near the medical device. This may  
result in incorrect operation of the unit and create a potentially unsafe  
situation. Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of 7 m. Verify  
correct operation of the device in case the distance is shorter.  
Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2001 is available at

9. Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure  
What is Blood Pressure?  
Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing against the  
walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly changing  
during the course of the heart’s cycle.  
The highest pressure in the cycle is called the Systolic Blood Pressure;  
the lowest is the Diastolic Blood Pressure.  
Both pressure readings, the Systolic and Diastolic, are necessary to  
enable a doctor to evaluate the status of a patient’s blood pressure.  
Why is it a Good Thing to measure Blood Pressure at Home?  
Having your blood pressure measured by a doctor can cause anxiety  
which is itself a cause of high blood pressure. As a variety of conditions  
affect blood pressure, a single measurement may not be sufficient for  
an accurate diagnosis.  
Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of day, can  
influence your blood pressure. Thus it is best to try and measure your  
blood pressure at the same time each day, to get an accurate indication  
of any changes in blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in the  
morning and increases from afternoon to evening. It is lower in the  
summer and higher in the winter.  
Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and  
measurements are written with the systolic pressure before the diastolic  
e.g. A blood pressure written as 135/85, is referred to as 135 over  
85 mmHg.

9.Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure  
Classification of Blood Pressure by the World Heath Organization  
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Society of  
Hypertension (ISH) developed the Blood Pressure Classification shown  
in this figure.  
Systolic blood pressure  
(mmHg)  
Severe hypertension  
180  
Moderate hypertension  
160  
Mild hypertension  
140  
Normal systolic value  
130  
Normal blood  
pressure  
120  
Optimal blood  
pressure  
(target value)  
Diastolic  
blood  
pressure  
(mmHg)  
80  
85  
90  
100 110  
This classification is based on the blood pressure values measured on  
people in a sitting position in outpatient departments of hospitals.  
Note: There is no universally accepted definition of hypotension.  
However, those having the systolic pressure below 100 mmHg  
are assumed as hypotensive.
