8. 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 pressures, the 

Systolic and Diastolic

, are 

necessary to enable a physician to evaluate the status of a patient’s blood pressure.

What is Arrhythmia?

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.

Why is it a Good Thing to measure Blood Pressure at Home?

Many factors such as physical activity, 
anxiety, or the time of day, can influence your 
blood pressure. A single measurement may 
not be sufficient for an accurate diagnosis. 
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.

How are hypertension and irregular heartbeat linked to 
stroke?

Hypertension (high blood pressure) and atrial fibrillation are two major risk factors of 
stroke. Irregular heartbeat is a potential indicator of atrial fibrillation. 
Omron Blood Pressure monitors can help to detect hypertension and irregular 
heartbeat*. If either or both are indicated by the device, we recommend to consult 
your doctor.
NOTE: Diagnosis can only be made by a doctor

* Irregular heartbeat detection is available on most Omron blood pressure monitors.

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 device 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.
