**Categories of BP in Adults***

Hypertension
Stage 1
Stage 2| 130-139 mmHg or 80-89 mmHg
≥ 140 mmHg or ≥ 90 mmHg

• 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.

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 the 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.

Preparation

Battery Installation

1. Remove the battery cover.

2. Insert 4 “AA” batteries as indicated in the battery compartment.
   

3. Replace the battery cover.

Notes:

• When the low battery symbol ( ) appears on the display, turn the monitor off, then replace all batteries at the same time. Long life alkaline batteries are recommended.
• 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 local regulations.

Using The Monitor

Applying the Arm Cuff

Caution Remove tight-fitting, thick clothing from your arm while taking a measurement.

1. Insert the air plug into the air jack securely.
   

2. Place your hand through the cuff loop, then pull the cuff until it reaches your upper left arm.
   
   The bottom edge of the arm cuff should be 0.5 inch (1 to 2 cm) above the elbow. Air tube is on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger.
   

3. Secure closed with the fabric fastener.
   

Notes:

• When you take a measurement on the right arm, the air tube will be at the side of your elbow. Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube.
• 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 which arm to use for your measurements.
  

How to Sit Correctly

To take a measurement, you need to be relaxed and comfortably seated with a comfortable room temperature. Place your arm on the table.

• Sit in a comfortable chair with your back and arm supported.
• Keep your feet and your legs uncrossed.
• The arm cuff should be placed on your arm at the same level as your heart, with the arm resting comfortably on a table.
  

Taking a Measurement

Notes:

• To stop the measurement, press the START/STOP button once to deflate the arm cuff.
