Manual Inflation Blood 

Pressure Monitor

Model HEM-4030

Instruction Manual

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON HEM-4030 Manual Inflation Blood 

Pressure Monitor.
The OMRON HEM-4030 is a compact manual inflation blood pressure monitor, 

operating on the oscillometric principle. It measures your blood pressure and 

pulse rate simply and quickly. 
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit.

Please keep for future reference.

For specific information about your own blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR 

DOCTOR.

Consult your doctor prior to using in pregnancy or if diagnosed with arrhythmia 

or arteriosclerosis.

Please read this section carefully before using the unit.

Warning:

• Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not 

avoided, could result 

in death or serious injury.

(General Usage)

• Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and 

self-treatment are dangerous.

• People with severe blood flow problems, or 

blood disorders, should consult a 

doctor before using the unit, as cuff inflation can cause internal bleeding.

(Battery Usage)

• If battery fluid should get in your eye

s, immediately rinse with plenty of clean 

water. Consult a doctor immediately.

Caution:

• Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in 

minor or moderate injury to the user or patient or damage to the equipment or 

other property.

(General Usage)

• Do not leave the unit unattended with infants or persons who cannot express 

their consent.

• Do not use the unit for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.

• Do not disas

semble the unit or arm cuff.

• Use only the approved arm cuff for this unit. Use of other arm cuffs may result 

in incorrect measurement results.

• Make 

sure that the air tube is not wrapped around other parts of your body 

when taking measurements at night. This could result in injury when the air 

pressure in the air tube is increased.

 Do not leave the cuff wrapped on the arm if taking measurements during the 

night. This could result in injury.

• Do not inflate the arm cuff over 299 mmHg.

• Do not use a mobile phone or other devices that emit electromagnetic fields, 

near the unit. This may result in incorrect operation of the unit.

• Do not operate the unit in a moving vehicle (car, airplane).

(Battery Usage)

• If battery fluid should get on your skin or clothing, immediately rinse with 

plenty of clean water.

• Use only two “AAA” alkaline or manganese batteries with this unit. Do not use 

other types of batteries.

• Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.

• Replace old batteries with new ones immediately. Replace both batteries at 

the same time.

• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or more.

• Do not use new and used batteries together.

General Precautions

• Do not apply strong shocks and vibrations to or drop the unit and arm cuff.

• Do not take measurements after bathing, drinking alcohol, smoking, 

exercising or eating.

• Do not forcibly bend the arm cuff or bend the air tube excessively.

• When removing the air tube, pull the air tube with holding near the air jack.

• Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.

• Do not wash the arm cuff or immerse it in water.

• Read and follow the “Important information regarding Electro Magnetic 

Compatibility (EMC)” in the Technical Data Section.

• Read and follow the “Correct Disposal of This Product” in the Technical Data 

Section when disposing of the device and any used accessories or optional 

parts.

To protect your unit from damage, please observe the following:

Cause

Remedy

Notes:

• When you take a measurement on the right 

arm, air tube will be at the side of your 

elbow. Be careful not to rest your arm on 

the air tube.

Note:

If the deflation symbol does not disappear soon, press the air release 

button to release any air in the arm cuff.

To delete all the values stored in memory

• Press the ON/OFF button and repeat measurement.

• If the problem continues, try replacing the 

batteries with new ones.

If this still does not solve the problem, contact 

your OMRON retail outlet or distributor.

 Do not subject the main unit, cuff and inflation bulb to 

extreme temperatures, humidity, moisture or direct 

sunlight.

 Do not fold the cuff or tubing tightly.

• Do not inflate the arm cuff over 299 mmHg.

 Do not disassemble the unit.

Do not subject the unit to strong shocks or vibrations 

(for example, dropping the unit on the floor).

Do not use volatile liquids to clean the main unit. The 

unit should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.

 Use a soft, moistened cloth and soap to clean the arm 

cuff.

 Do not wash the arm cuff or immerse it in water.

Do not use petrol, thinners or similar solvents to clean 

the arm cuff.

 The accuracy of this blood pressure monitor has been 

carefully tested and is designed for a long service life.

It is generally recommended to have the unit inspected 

every two years to ensure correct functioning and 

accuracy. Please consult your local authorised 

OMRON distributor or dealer.

 Do not carry out repairs of any kind yourself. If a defect 

occurs, consult your local authorised OMRON 

distributor or dealer.

Storage case:

Remove tight-fitting clothing or tight rolled up sleeve from your

upper arm.

Do not place the cuff over thick clothes.

3.2   How to Sit Correctly

To take a measurement, you need to be

rela

x

ed and comfortably seated, under

comfortable room temperature. No eating,

smoking or e

x

ercising 30 minutes before

taking a measurement.

 Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor.

 Sit upright with your back straight.

The cuff should be at the same level as your 

heart.

1 to 2 cm

 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 doctor which arm to use for your 

measurement.

Press the air release button to release any air in the arm

cuff, then press the ON/OFF button to turn the unit on.

3.

Measurement starts.

Measurement starts automatically after you stop inflating

the arm cuff.

4.

Remove the arm cuff.

5.

Press the ON/OFF button to turn off the monitor.

The monitor automatically stores the measurement in its 

memory.

It will automatically turn off after five minutes.

Notes:

• If the reinflation symbol (    ) appears, squeeze the inflation bulb to 

re-inflate the arm cuff.

 Do not inflate the arm cuff more than necessary.

Notes:

 To cancel a measurement, press the ON/OFF button to turn off the 

unit and press the air release button to release the air in the arm cuff.

• Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurement. 

Waiting between readings allows the arteries to return to the condition 

prior to taking the blood pressure measurement.

Note:  You cannot partially delete the stored readings.

When the memory symbol (    ) appears, first press the M button

Then while holding it down, press the ON/OFF button simultane-

ously for about 2-3 seconds.

Note: Remain still while taking measurement.

Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are dangerous. 

Please follow the instructions of your doctor.

1) 

 Inflate the cuff until it is 30 to 40 mmHg 

above your expected systolic blood 

pressure value.

ex) If your expected blood pressure is 

around 140mmHg, inflate the arm cuff to 

between 170 and 180 mmHg. Inflate the 

cuff rapidly so that the pressure is reached in about five seconds.

2) When the desired pressure has been achieved, release the inflation 

bulb.

Warning:

 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.
