OMRON HEM-6140-E MIT Quick Check 3 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor User Guide

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON MIT Quick Check 3 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor.

The OMRON MIT Quick Check 3 is a compact and easy to use blood pressure monitor, operating on the oscillometric principle. It measures your blood pressure and pulse rate simply and quickly. For comfortable controlled inflation without the need of pressure pre-setting or re-inflation the device uses its advanced “IntelliSense” technology.

Intended Use
This product is designed to measure the blood pressure and pulse rate of people within the range of the designated wrist cuff. It is mainly designed for general household use.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit.

Please keep for future reference. For specific information about your own blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

Display symbols:

Irregular Heartbeat Symbol

When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol will appear on the display with the measurement values. An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is 25% less or 25% more than the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure. If the irregular heartbeat symbol displays with your measurement results, we recommend you consult your physician. Follow the directions of your physician

Cuff Wrap Guide Symbol (  )
If the cuff was wrapped too loosely, it may cause unreliable values. If the wrapping of cuff is too loose, the cuff wrap guide symbol appears. Otherwise appears. This is the function which is used as an aid in determining if the cuff is wrapped snugly enough.

Blood pressure Level Indicator
Blood pressure level indicator will light up between the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure.

2013 ESH/ESC Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension
Recent research suggests that the following values can be used as a guide to high blood pressure for measurements taken in office or at home.

| Office| Home
---|---|---
Systolic Blood Pressure| 140 mmHg| 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure| 90 mmHg| 85 mmHg

Preparation

Installing/Replacing the Batteries

Remove the battery cover.

Insert two 1.5V “AAA” batteries as indicated in the battery compartment and then replace the battery cover.

Notes:

• If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display, turn off the unit then replace both batteries at the same time.
• The measurement values continue to be stored in memory even after the batteries are replaced.

Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance with the national regulations for the disposal of batteries.

Setting the Date and Time

Press and hold the button until the year flashes on the display.
Set the monitor to the correct date and time before taking a measurement for the first time

Press the START/STOP button to store the setting.

Notes:

• If the batteries have been removed, the date and time setting will need to be reset.
• If the date and time are not set, “-:–” appears during or after measuremen

Using the Unit

Applying the Wrist Cuff
Do not apply over clothing.

Place the wrist cuff over your wrist.
Your palm should face upward.

Wrap the wrist cuff around your wrist.

Wrap the wrist cuff securely around the wrist for taking accurate measurements.

**Make sure that the wrist cuff does not cover the protruding part of the wrist bone (ulna) on the outside of the wrist.

**

Note: You can take a measurement on either your left or right wrist

How to Sit Correctly

To take a measurement, you need to be relaxed and comfortably seated, under comfortable room temperature. No bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising or eating 30 minutes before taking a measurement

• Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor.
• Sit upright with your back straight.
• The cuff should be at the same level as your heart
• Relax your wrist and hand. Do not bend your wrist back, clench your fist, or bend your wrist forward.

Taking a Reading

Notes:

• To cancel a measurement, press the START/STOP button at any time during measurement.
• Remain still while taking a measurement.

Press the START/STOP button.
All the symbols appear on the display. The wrist cuff will start to inflate automatically

Undo the wrist cuff and remove the unit.
Press the START/STOP button to turn off the monitor.

The monitor automatically stores the measurement in its memory. It will automatically turn off after two minutes.
Notes:

• Wait 2 – 3 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurement. Waiting between readings allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement.
• 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.

Using the Memory Function
The unit automatically stores up to 60 sets of measurement values (blood pressure and pulse rate).
Notes:

• If the memory is full, the monitor will delete the oldest readings.
• When viewing the reading taken without setting the date and time, “-:–” is displayed instead of the date and time.

To View the Readings Stored in Memory

Press the button, the latest value is displayed

The Memory number appears for a second before the pulse rate is displayed. The newest set is numbered “1

Press the   button repeatedly to view the readings stored in memory.

To Delete All the Values Stored in Memory

When the memory symbol ( ) appears, first press the button. Then while holding it down, press the START/STOP button simultaneously for about 2 – 3 seconds

Note: You cannot partially delete the stored readings.

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 pressures, the Systolic and Diastolic, are necessary to enable a physician to evaluate the status of a patient’s blood pressure.

What is Arrhythmia?
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.

Why is it a Good Thing to measure Blood Pressure at Home?

Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of day, can influence your blood pressure. A single measurement may not be sufficient for an accurate diagnosis. 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 morning and increases from afternoon to evening. It is lower in the summer and higher in the winter

How are hypertension and irregular heartbeat linked to stroke?
Hypertension (high blood pressure) and atrial fibrillation are two major risk factors of stroke. Irregular heartbeat is a potential indicator of atrial fibrillation Omron Blood Pressure monitors can help to detect hypertension and irregular heartbeat*. If either or both are indicated by the device, we recommend to consult your doctor.
NOTE: Diagnosis can only be made by a doctor
Irregular heartbeat detection is available on most Omron blood pressure monitors.
