What does an error message mean when my cuff is underinflated?
If your blood pressure monitor displays an error due to an underinflated cuff, ensure correct application of the arm cuff and re-read the instructions in section 3.4 for proper use. (Page 23)
2
What should I do if my measurements are extremely low or high?
Ensure that the arm cuff is applied correctly and tightly, avoid movement or talking during measurement, and remove any interfering clothing. Refer to sections 3.2 and 3.3 for detailed instructions on correct application. (Page 25)
3
What is the purpose of the Memory Function?
The unit automatically stores your last measurement values for blood pressure and pulse rate in its memory, which can be reviewed by pressing and holding the O/I START button until results are displayed. (Page 20)
4
How do I inflate the cuff manually?
Press and hold the O/I START button to start inflation, press again when desired pressure is reached up to a maximum of 30 to 40 mmHg above suspected systolic pressure. Do not exceed 299 mmHg or an error will be displayed. (Page 19)
5
What is the maintenance procedure for this device?
Avoid extreme temperatures, humidity, and vibrations. Fold cuffs gently without excessive bending. Do not inflate above 299 mmHg or disassemble the unit under any circumstances; clean with a soft cloth only. (Page 27)
6
How can I avoid inaccurate blood pressure readings?
Ensure proper sitting posture, remove tight clothing from upper arm, and relax in a quiet environment at least 30 minutes post activity or meals before measurement. Movement and talking during the measurement will yield inaccurate results. (Page 12-13)

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 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. Page 14
14 3.Using the Unit 3.2 Applying the Arm Cuff Be sure to wrap the arm cuff correctly so that you get accurate results. Measurements can be taken in light clothing. However, please remove thick clothes, such as sweaters, before taking a reading.

Firmly.
1) The air tube should run down the inside of your forearm and be in line with your middle finger. 2) The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1 to 2 cm above your elbow. 3) Apply the cuff to your upper arm so that the marker (arrow under tube) is centered on the middle of your inner arm and points down the inside of the arm. 1 to 2 cm Page 16

5.2 Troubleshooting Problem Cause Remedy The reading is extremely low (or high). Arm cuff not applied correctly. Apply the arm cuff correctly. Refer to section 3.2. Movement or talking during measurement. Remain still and do not talk during measurement. Refer to section 3.3. Clothing is interfering with the arm cuff. Remove any clothing interfering with the arm cuff. Refer to section 3.1. Arm cuff pressure does not rise. The air plug is not securely inserted into the main unit. Make sure that the air plug is connected securely. Refer to section 3.2. Air is leaking from the arm cuff. Replace the arm cuff with a new one. Refer to Chapter 7. Arm cuff deflates too soon. The arm cuff is loose. Apply the cuff correctly so that it is firmly wrapped around the arm. Refer to section 3.2. Cannot measure or readings are too low or too high. The arm cuff has not been inflated sufficiently. Inflate the cuff so that it is 30 to 40 mmHg above your previous measurement result. Refer to section 3.4. The unit loses power during measurement. The batteries are empty. Replace the batteries with new ones. Page 26
26 5.Handling Errors and Problems Nothing happens when you press the buttons. The batteries are empty. Replace the batteries with new ones. The batteries have been inserted incorrectly. Insert the batteries with the correct (+/ -) polarity. Other problems. Press the O/I START button and repeat measurement. If the problem continues, try replacing the batteries with new ones. If this still does not solve the problem, contact your OMRON retail outlet or distributor. Problem Cause Remedy

Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC) With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC’s and mobile (cellular) telephones, medical devices in use may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference from other devices. Electromagnetic interference may result in incorrect operation of the medical device and create a potentially unsafe situation. Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices. In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) with the aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the EN60601-1-2:2007 standard has been implemented. This standard defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical devices. This medical device manufactured by OMRON HEALTHCARE conforms to this EN60601-1-2:2007 standard for both immunity and emissions. Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed: Page 32

Classification of Blood Pressure by the World Health Organization The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) developed the Blood Pressure Classification shown in this figure. 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. 80 180 160 140 130 120 85 90 100 110 Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg) Systolic blood pressure (mmHg) Severe hypertension Moderate hypertension Mild hypertension Normal systolic value Normal blood pressure Optimal blood pressure (target value) Page 34
