2.3 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.

• • 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.

2.4 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.

• • 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.

1. Wrist cuff

3. Position the wrist cuff leaving a clearance of 1 to 2 cm between the cuff and the bottom of your palm.

1. 1 to 2 cm

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.

2.5 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.

2.6 Selecting a User ID

Your monitor is designed to take measurements and store the readings in the memory for 2 people using the [user ID selection] switch.

1. Select your user ID (1 or 2).

3. Using Your Monitor without a Smart Device
