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.
11
3.Using the Unit
Note: 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 physician which
arm to use for your measurement.
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.
12
3.Using the Unit
3.2 Applying the Arm Cuff
Be sure to wrap the arm cuff correctly so that you get accurate results.

blood pressure.
If such an irregular rhythm is detected more than twice during
measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) appears
on the symbol when the measurement results are displayed.
What is Arrhythmia?
A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals that cause the
heart to contract.
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. This can be caused by heart
disease, aging, physical predisposition, stress, lack of sleep,
fatigue etc. Arrhythmia can only be diagnosed by a doctor
through a special examination.
EN
Whether the appearance of the irregular heartbeat symbol
(
) in the results indicates arrhythmia or not can only be
determined by an examination and diagnosis by your doctor.
Warning:
If the irregular heartbeat symbol (
) is shown
frequently, please make your doctor aware of it.
Conducting self-diagnosis and treatment based on
measurement results is dangerous. Be sure to follow the
instructions of your doctor.

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

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.
