Classification of BP (Blood Pressure)
ACC/AHA 2017 Hypertension guidelines defines 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
Before Taking a Measurement
- Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
- Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
- Keep 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. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency
PREPARATION
Battery Installation
1. Remove the battery cover. Insert your fingernail into the slot of the battery cover, and push downwards to remove the cover.
2. Insert battery, slide over so it is secured inside the circular battery positioner. Then insert the second battery.
3. Replace the battery cover.
When the batteries have been securely placed in this monitor, the message below will appear on the screen:
Notes:
- When the depleted battery symbol “” appears on the display, turn the monitor off and remove all the batteries. Replace with 4 new batteries at the same time. Long life alkaline batteries are recommended.
- The measurement values continue to be stored in the memory even after the batteries are replaced.
- The supplied batteries may have a shorter life than new batteries.
- Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance with the national/local regulations for the disposal of batteries.
- When the batteries are replaced, the words “Please pair this device.” or “Pairing not completed. No data transfer.” will appear on the display. Press the [] button to pair with the smart device or transfer the data before taking a measurement.
Applying the Arm Cuff
1. Apply the arm cuff to your left upper arm.
The bottom edge of the arm cuff should be 1/2 inch (1 to 2 cm) above the elbow. The display should be in clear view and easy to read, positioned slightly on the inside of your arm.
2. Securely close with the fabric fastener.
Notes:
- The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm, and the measured blood pressure values can be different. Omron recommends to always use the same arm for measurement. If the values between both arms differ substantially, please check with your physician as to which arm to use for your measurements.
- Positioning the monitor with the [START/STOP] button toward the body makes it easier to use the monitor.
How to Sit Correctly
To take a measurement, you need to be relaxed and comfortably seated, at a comfortable room temperature.
- Sit in a chair with your legs uncrossed and your feet flat on the floor.
- Sit upright with your back straight.
- Sit with your back and arm being supported.
- The arm cuff should be placed on your arm at the same level as your heart.
USING THE MONITOR WITHOUT A SMART DEVICE
You can use this blood pressure monitor without pairing to a smart device.
Taking a Measurement
Notes:
- To stop the measurement, press the [START/STOP] button once to deflate the arm cuff.
- Remain still and do not talk while taking a measurement.
- When using this blood pressure monitor without a smart device, you will not be able to view your prior readings stored in the memory.
- Do not use the monitor with any other electrical device simultaneously. This may result in incorrect operation of the monitor.
1. Press the [START/STOP] button.
The arm cuff will start to inflate.
The following symbols indicate incorrect measurement
- If “Please remeasure” and any of these symbols below are displayed, please take another measurement and try again.
2. Remove the arm cuff.

USING THE 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 it with your smart device.
1. Enable Bluetooth on your smart device.
2. Scan the code below with your smart device camera or visit OmronHealthcare.com/app to find the OMRON compatible app for this product.
