Classification of BP (Blood Pressure)
ACC/AHA 2017 Hypertension guidelines define categories of BP in adults as below.
Categories of BP in Adults*
* Individuals with Systolic BP and Diastolic BP in 2 categories should be designated to the higher BP category.
BP indicates blood pressure (based on an average of ≥ 2 careful readings obtained on ≥ 2 occasions).
Source: ACC/AHA 2017 High Blood Pressure Clinical Practice Guideline
Warning
- NEVER diagnose or treat yourself based on your readings. ALWAYS consult with your physician.
Preparation
Installing Batteries
1. Push down the hook of the battery cover and pull downward.
2. Insert 2 “AAA” alkaline batteries as indicated in the battery compartment.
3. Close the battery cover.
Note
- When the “
” symbol flashes on the display, it is recommended you replace batteries. - To replace batteries, turn your monitor off and remove all batteries. Then replace with 2 new alkaline batteries at the same time.
- As soon as batteries are correctly installed, the year flashes on the date and time display to set the date and time.
- Replacing batteries will not delete previous readings.
- The supplied batteries may have a shorter life than new batteries.
- Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance with local regulations.
Setting the Date and Time
Note
- Set your monitor to the correct date and time before taking a measurement for the first time.
- As soon as batteries are correctly installed, the year flashes on the display of your monitor.
- The date and time will automatically be set when the monitor is paired with “OMRON connect US/CAN” app. Refer to section 4.1.
1. Press the
or 
button once to adjust the year.
Press and hold the button to quickly advance the years.
Press and hold the button to quickly go backwards through the years.
2. Press the [START/STOP] button to confirm the year and the month will flash. Repeat the same steps to adjust the month, day, hour, and minute.
3. Press the [START/STOP] button to store the setting. It automatically turns off after 3 seconds.
Note
- If you need to reset the date and time, replace batteries or press and hold the button until the year flashes, and set the date and time as above steps.
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.
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 0.5 inch (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.
- If the wrist cuff comes out of the metal ring, slide it back through as shown in the figure to the right.
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.
- The distance from the top of your seat measuring to the top of the table you are sitting at, should be 12 plus or minus 2 inches (30 ± 5 cm). If the distance measured between the top of your seat and table do not fall within this parameter, correct your seat or table height. If you are unable to make any seat or table adjustments, please turn off the heart zone indicator and position your wrist at heart level by yourself. Refer to section 6.1.
- 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.
Using Your Monitor without a Smart Device
Taking a Measurement
You can use your monitor without pairing to a smart device. To pair your monitor with a smart device, refer to section 4.1.
Note
- To stop the measurement, press the [START/STOP] button once to deflate the wrist cuff.
Caution
- DO NOT use this monitor with other medical electrical (ME) equipment simultaneously. This may result in incorrect operation of the monitor and/or cause an inaccurate reading.
- Remain still and DO NOT talk while taking a measurement.
1. Press the [START/STOP] button. All symbols appear on the display before starting the measurement.
2. Check the heart zone indicator. Your monitor has a built-in heart zone indicator that is used as an aid in determining if the monitor is at the correct height. It has been designed to work with most people so that when your wrist is at the correct position relative to your heart, the “ 
” symbol will light in blue. When your wrist is higher or lower position relative to your heart, a locator bar will appear according to the wrist position. Due to difference in individual size and physique, this feature may not be helpful in all cases and you may wish to disable this feature. If you feel the position of the wrist according to heart zone indicator's guidance does NOT match your heart level, disable this feature and follow your judgement. To disable it, refer to section 6.1.
Note
- After 5 seconds from pressing the [START/STOP] button, even if your monitor is not positioned properly, your monitor will start the measurement and the wrist cuff will start to inflate.
3. Remain still and do not move or talk until the entire measurement process is completed.
As the cuff inflates, your monitor automatically determines your ideal inflation level. This monitor detects your blood pressure and pulse rate during inflation.
The “ 
” symbol flashes at every heartbeat.
Note
• When the “
” symbol is displayed, the wrist cuff is not applied correctly. Press the [START/STOP] button to turn your monitor off, then apply the cuff correctly.
After your monitor has detected your blood pressure and pulse rate, the cuff automatically deflates. Your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed. If either the systolic or the diastolic reading is high (refer to section 1.3), the “ 
” symbol appears.
4. Press the [START/STOP] button to turn your monitor off.
Note
- Your monitor will automatically turn off after 2 minutes.
- Wait 2 - 3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to decompress and return to their pre-measurement form. You may need to increase the wait time depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
Using Your Monitor with a Smart Device
Pairing Your Monitor with a Smart Device
The date and time on your monitor will automatically be set when you pair your monitor with your smart device.
