Thank you for purchasing the OMRON HEM-6161 Wrist Blood
Pressure Monitor. This blood pressure monitor is to be worn on your
wrist.
This new blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of
blood pressure measurement. When the cuff inflates, this monitor
senses the pressure pulsations of the artery underneath the cuff.
The pulses are called oscillometric pulses. The electronic pressure
sensor displays a digital reading of blood pressure.

UNDERSTAND all of the safety and operating instructions. If you do
not understand these instructions or have any questions, contact
your local OMRON representative before attempting to use this
monitor. For specific information about your own blood pressure,
consult with your physician.
Intended Use
This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood
pressure and pulse rate in adult patient population with wrist
circumference ranging from 13.5 cm to 21.5 cm. This monitor
detects the appearance of irregular heartbeats during measurement
and gives a warning signal with readings. It is mainly designed for
general household use.
Receiving and Inspection

Introduction
Important Safety Information
DO NOT take measurements more often than necessary
because bruising, due to blood flow interference, may occur.
ONLY inflate the wrist cuff when it is applied on your wrist.
Remove the wrist cuff if it does not start deflating during a
measurement.
DO NOT use this monitor for any purpose other than
measuring blood pressure.
During measurement, make sure that no mobile device or any
other electrical device that emits electromagnetic fields is
within 30 cm of this monitor. This may result in incorrect
operation of the monitor and/or cause an inaccurate reading.
DO NOT disassemble or attempt to repair this monitor or
other components. This may cause an inaccurate reading.
DO NOT use in a location where there is moisture or a risk of
water splashing this monitor. This may damage this monitor.

2.2 Blood Pressure Measurement Tips
To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:
Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during
stressful times.
Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
It is important to take measurements at same times each day.
Taking measurements in the morning and in the evening is
recommended.
Remember to have a record of your blood pressure and pulse
readings for your physician. 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.
Caution
Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising
and eating for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
2.3 Applying the Wrist Cuff
Note
Following steps are for applying the wrist cuff to your left wrist.
When you take a measurement on your right wrist, apply the wrist
cuff using the same steps as on your left wrist.
The blood pressure can differ between the right wrist and the left
wrist, and the measured blood pressure values can be different.
OMRON recommends to always use the same wrist for
measurement. If the values between both wrists differ
substantially, please check with your physician as to which wrist to
use for your measurements.
Caution
Remove tight-fitting, thick clothing and any accessories from your
wrist while taking a measurement.
1. Apply the wrist cuff to your left
wrist.
Roll up sleeve. Make sure your
sleeve is not rolled up too tightly on
your arm. This may constrict the flow
of blood in your arm.
2. Put your wrist through the cuff loop.
Your palm and monitor display should both
face upward.
3. Position the wrist cuff leaving a
clearance of 1 to 2 cm between
the cuff and the bottom of your
palm.
4. Wrap the wrist cuff firmly around
your wrist. Do not apply over
clothing.
Check to make sure that there is no gap
between your wrist and the cuff.
Note
Make sure the wrist cuff does not
cover the protruding part of the wrist
bone on the outside of your wrist.
2.4 Sitting Correctly
To take a measurement, you
need to be relaxed and
comfortably seated in a room with
a comfortable temperature. Place
your elbow on the table to support
your arm.
Sit in a chair with your legs
uncrossed and your feet flat on
the floor.
Sit with your back and arm
being supported.
Your monitor must be
approximately the same level
as your heart. If the monitor is
too high above your heart, your blood pressure will be artificially
low. If the monitor is too low below your heart, your blood pressure
will be artificially high.
Relax your wrist and hand. Do not bend your wrist back, clench
your fist, or bend your wrist forward.
