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.  
17  
 
3.Using the Unit  
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.  
18  
 
3.Using the Unit  
3.2 Applying the Arm Cuff  
Notes:  
• 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.  
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 doctor which arm to use for your measurement.  
Taking measurements on the left arm  
1. Open two Air connector caps, then insert the air plugs of the arm  
cuff and the inflation bulb into their respective air connectors.  
Note: Be sure to use the appropriate size arm cuff. Should  
you require a small cuff, ensure that the small bulb is  
used together with the small cuff. Please refer to  
Chapter 7.  
EN  
19  
 
3.Using the Unit  
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.  
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.  
4. When the cuff is positioned correctly, close the fabric fastener  
FIRMLY.

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  
OMRON Healthcare Europe at the address mentioned in this instruction  
manual.

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

120  
Optimal blood  
pressure  
(target value)  
Diastolic

pressure  
(mmHg)  
80  
85

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.
