Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor.
Your new upper arm blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of
blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood
movement through your brachial artery and converts the movements into a
digital reading. An oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope so the
monitor is simple to use.
Intended Use
This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and
pulse rate in adult patient population. The device detects the appearance of
irregular heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal with
readings. It is mainly designed for general household use.

1.1 Display symbols
Irregular Heartbeat Symbol ( )
When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm
two or more times during the measurement, the
irregular heartbeat symbol will appear on the
display with the measurement values.
An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a
rhythm that is 25% less or 25% more than the
average rhythm detected while the monitor is
measuring the systolic and diastolic blood
pressure.
If the irregular heartbeat symbol displays with your measurement results,
we recommend you consult your doctor. Follow the directions of your
doctor.
Movement Error Symbol ( )
The movement error symbol is displayed if you move your body during the
measurement. Please remove the arm cuff, and wait 2 - 3 minutes.
Take another measurement and remain still during measurement.
Cuff Wrap Guide Symbol ( / )
If the cuff was wrapped too loosely, it may cause unreliable results. If the
wrapping of cuff is too loose, the cuff wrap guide symbol “
” appears.
Otherwise “
” appears. This is the function which is used as an aid in
determining if the cuff is wrapped snugly enough.
SYNC Symbol ( )
• When the SYNC symbol appears on the display, make sure that your
monitor has been pairing with the smart device or transfer the data.
• When the SYNC symbol appears on the display, transfer the data before
the measurements are deleted. If the memory is full, the monitor will be
delete the oldest value. Maximum internal memory is for 100
measurements.

These are from statistical values for blood pressure.
1.2 Before Taking a Measurement
To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:
1. Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and
eating for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
2. Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking the measurement.
3. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during
stressful times.
4. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
5. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your arm.
6. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your
doctor. A single measurement does not provide an accurate indication
of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several
readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at
the same time each day for consistency.
