Frequently asked questions:.
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood Pressure is the pressure of circulating blood against the walls of the arteries. Your heart is like a pump. When it contracts, or beats, it sends a surge of blood through the blood vessels and pressure increases. This is called your systolic pressure. When your heart relaxes between beats, your blood pressure decreases. This is called your diastolic pressure. These two numbers provide important information about your health. When blood pressure is consistently above normal it is called hypertension (high blood pressure).
Which type of Omron Blood Pressure Monitor should I purchase?
Before purchasing your home blood pressure monitor ensure your satisfaction by selecting the right monitor for you. The digital Manual Inflation Monitors are the most affordable among the digital blood pressure monitors. This type of monitor requires the user to squeeze the inflation bulb to fill the cuff with air until you reach your correct inflation level. The cuff deflates automatically and your measurements appear on a clear digital display. If you have arthritis or any weakness in the hands you may find it difficult to inflate the cuff. For greater convenience choose an Automatic Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor. This type of monitor inflates at the touch of a button. In seconds your blood pressure and pulse are alternately displayed. Omron Automatic Inflation Blood Pressure Monitors have a wide variety of features that include models with printers, memory functions, high-speed measurement, and compact design. IntelliSense Technology offers the advantage of personalized inflation. Wrist Blood Pressure Monitors give you the portability of a ?wristwatch? style blood pressure monitor. Considering what type of monitor meets your needs is an important decision. You may wish to consult with your physician regarding what type of monitor is best for you. We recommend those persons with severe hypertension, severe diabetes or severe arteriosclerosis consult their physician prior to measure blood pressure at the wrist.
Can I take a measurement during exercise?
Omron Blood Pressure Monitors are not intended for use during exercise or activity. We recommend you avoid eating, smoking and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
How do I know if the arm cuff is wrapped too tight or too loose?
If the cuff is wrapped too loose or too tight, you may get an inaccurate reading or error message. We recommend you apply the cuff using the following directions. First, make sure you have removed any tight-fitting clothing from your left arm. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of the cuff should be about one-half inch above your elbow. Turn your arm so your palm is facing up. Adjust the cuff around your arm so that the tubing runs down the center of your arm. Secure the cuff so it stays in place. You should be able to fit one finger between the cuff and your arm. This space is imperative for an accurate reading. Omron's digital blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement that detects your blood?s movement through your brachial artery and converts the movements into a digital reading.
How often should my Omron Blood Pressure monitor be calibrated?
Under normal use we recommend you check the calibration of your unit 5 years from the date of purchase. If you use your unit 5 times a day or more have the calibration of the unit checked annually. You must send your unit to the repair department at Omron Healthcare for this service. When an individual situation occurs that may have damaged the unit such as; dropping the unit on the floor, spilling water on the unit, or exposing the unit to an extreme temperature change the unit should be inspected by the repair department.
Recently my readings seem different. How can I assure that my monitor is still working correctly?
Determine if the cuff you are using with your monitor is still the correct size you need. Take an average reading of three measurements. Wait a minimum of five minutes between each measurement. You may need to increase the wait time depending on your individual physical characteristics. Your physician or healthcare provider can check the reading by taking a comparison reading. Make sure the first reading is taken with your home monitor because of the different measurement methods used. Send your unit to the repair department at Omron Healthcare for service. Please make sure you review your warranty information and enclose a note with your unit.
What are the standard Blood Pressure Classifications?
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) jointly developed the following blood pressure classification. This classification, however, this is only a general guideline because your optimum blood pressure depends on your age, morbidity, and treatment strategy by a physician. Consult your physician to determine your optimum blood pressure.

What is White Coat Hypertension?
White coat hypertension is defined as an increased blood pressure measurement that results from various influences in the professional environment, for example patient anxiety.
What is the accuracy of Omron?s Blood Pressure Monitors?
All models of Omron?s blood pressure monitors are clinically proven accurate. Pressure is plus or minus three millimeters of mercury or two percent of reading. Pulse is plus or minus five percent of reading. This meets or exceeds the AAMI standards. AAMI is the Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation.
What is the cause of the EE Error Indicator?
The most common error symbol that appears on the display panel is a EE with a down arrow and two numerals. The reason for the EE Error Indicator is generally caused because the cuff has been wrapped too loose. The cuff was under-inflated during the measurement. This error will also display if the cuff is worn and needs to be replaced. The EE symbol with a down arrow indicates the cuff is over-inflated. In most instances the cuff has been wrapped too tight or you are using the incorrect cuff size. Turn the monitor off. Read the instructions to correctly apply the cuff. Wait five to ten minutes then take another measurement. Error indicators vary by model number. Symbols that display on your model are printed in the instruction manual with the steps to correct the problem.
What method of blood pressure measurement is used in Omron Blood Pressure Monitors?
Omron digital blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood?s movement through your brachial artery and converts the movements into a digital reading. An oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use.
What should I do before taking a measurement?
Make sure you always follow these steps before taking a measurement. For at least 30 minutes prior to taking your measurement do not eat, smoke or exercise. Rest comfortably in a relaxed environment for at least 15 minutes prior to taking your measurement. Don't take a measurement after physical activities or during stressful times. Take the measurement in a quiet place.
Why is a wait time needed between measurements?
Taking a blood pressure measurement constricts the arteries. Waiting between readings allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. We generally recommend you wait five minutes between readings. You may need to increase the wait time depending on your individual physical characteristics.
Why is it important to monitor my blood pressure at home?
Doctors, diabetes educators, physician assistants, nurses and other healthcare professionals recommend home blood pressure monitoring for various reasons, including the ability to:
· Be constantly aware of a vital indicator about your overall health.
· Provide your doctor with information to better understand and manage your high blood pressure.
· See how you are responding to medication
Many types of hypertension can only be detected by monitoring your blood pressure at home, including:
· White-coat Hypertension: blood pressure reading is high in doctor's office but lower at home
· Masked Hypertension: blood pressure reading is low in doctor's office but higher at home
· Morning Hypertension: a sharp increase in blood pressure in the morning. Recent research has shown a significant link of morning hypertension to stroke.
Additionally, many factors can affect your blood pressure, including physical exertion, emotional fluctuations, medications and stress, so having your blood pressure monitored at a pharmacy with an in-store device after you have been shopping or walking around might not provide you with the most accurate measurement.
Monitoring your blood pressure at home allows you to more easily get to a relaxed state and the flexibility to take your measurements at various times during the day. By keeping track of your home blood pressure readings, you can provide your healthcare professional with a log of blood pressure measurements over time, which can help them evaluate the effective.
Do I need to register my product to validate the product warranty?
We request you register your product purchase. To register your product purchase complete the warranty card enclosed in the box or register on-line. Registration cards are not included with all models. You must register your product within 10 days of the purchase date or provide the proof of purchase with your unit for warranty services. We recommend you always save the proof of purchase to validate your warranty. Simply tape or staple the purchase receipt in the front page of your instruction manual for safekeeping.
How do I clean and protect my Omron Blood Pressure monitor from damage and keep it in the best working condition?
Wipe the casing of the monitor clean using a soft dry cloth. Never use any abrasive type cleaners or submerge the monitor or any of the components in water. The cuff cannot be cleaned. After each use never fold the cuff or the tubing tightly. Store the monitor in a safe, dry location. Do not subject the unit to extreme hot or cold temperatures, humidity or direct sunlight. Be careful not to subject the monitor to any strong shocks such as dropping the unit on the floor. You should remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for an extended period of time.

Helpful Blood Pressure Reminders:
Have your blood pressure checked by your doctor.
If you have high blood pressure, follow your doctor?s advice about changing your diet and lifestyle habits.
If your doctor has prescribed medication for your high blood pressure, it is very important to take it regularly. If you have any new symptoms, call your doctor.
Measure and record your blood pressure at home regularly. This information may be valuable to your doctor in evaluating your condition.
Cooperate. You and your doctor must work together in order to keep your blood pressure and your diabetes under control.
Understanding why high blood pressure is a problem:
Generally, normotension (normal blood pressure) is defined as less than 130mmHg for systolic value (SBP) and less than 85mmHg for diastolic value (DBP). The higher the blood pressure, the more load on the blood vessels, and this can damage the vessels. In the worst case, blood vessel walls can develop holes causing internal bleeding. When this happens in the brain, it is called a stroke. In addition, high blood pressure increases the myocardial workload so that the heart must work harder to maintain adequate blood flow to the body. This causes ischemic heart disease (IHD) such as a heart attack (myocardial infarction) and angina. People with hypertension have the increased risk of suffering from of having a stroke. Conversely, It is also known that those with normal blood pressure have a lesser risk of ischemic heart disease (myocardial infarction and angina) and stroke. Thus, it can be concluded that keeping blood pressure within a normal range to prevent these occurrences is of the utmost importance.
