Important:

 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  Above 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure  Above 85 mmHg

  This criteria is for home blood pressure 

measurement.

 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 (     ). If 

the irregular heartbeats cause 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.

Wrist Blood 

Pressure Monitor

Model HEM-6200

Instruction Manual

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON HEM-6200 Wrist Blood Pressure 

Monitor.
The OMRON HEM-6200 is a compact and easy to use blood pressure monitor, 

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

pulse rate simply and quickly. For comfortable controlled inflation without the 

need of pressure pre-setting or re-inflation the devices uses its advanced 

“IntelliSense” technology.
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 eyes, 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 disassemble the unit or wrist cuff.

 Do not inflate the wrist 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 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 (LR03) 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.

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

exercising or eating.

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

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

 Read and follow the “Important information regarding Electro Magnetic 

Compatibility (EMC)” in the Technical Data Section.

3.   Using the Unit

3.1   Applying the Wrist Cuff

Do not apply over clothing.

Place the wrist cuff over your wrist.

Wrap the wrist cuff around your wrist.

Your thumb should face upward.

Make sure that the wrist cuff does not cover 

the protruding part of the wrist bone (ulna) on 

the outside of the wrist.

Notes:

 You can take a measurement on either 

your left or right wrist.

 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.

 Wrap the wrist cuff securely around the 

wrist for taking accurate measurements.

Please read this instruction manual carefully before using the device.

 This device fulfils the provisions of EC directive 93/42/EEC (Medical Device

Directive).

 This blood pressure monitor is designed according to the European Standard

EN1060, Noninvasive sphygmomanometers Part 1: General Requirements 

and Part 3: Supplementary requirements for electromechanical blood

pressure measuring systems.

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 EN60601-1-2:2007

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

EN60601-1-2:2007 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 EN60601-1-2:2007 is available at OMRON 

HEALTHCARE EUROPE at the address mentioned in this instruction manual.
