9545878-0B
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON EVOLV Automatic Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor.
Your new automatic upper arm blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood 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.
Intended Use
This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in adult patient population. The device detects the appearance of irregular heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal with readings. It is mainly designed for general household use.
Important Safety Information
Please read the Important Safety Information in this instruction manual before using the unit.
Please follow this instruction manual thoroughly for your safety.
Please keep for future reference. For specific information about your own blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN.

1.1 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.
Movement Error Symbol ( 
)
The movement error symbol is displayed if you move your body during the measurement. Please remove the arm cuff, and wait 2 - 3 minutes.
Take another measurement and remain still during measurement.
Cuff Wrap Guide Symbol (
/ 
)
If the cuff was wrapped too loosely, it may cause unreliable results. 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.
SYNC Symbol ( )
•When the SYNC symbol appears on the display, make sure that your monitor has been pairing with the smart device or transfer the data.
•When the SYNC symbol appears on the display, transfer the data before the measurements are deleted. Maximum internal memory is for
100 measurements. The oldest value will be deleted when this is reached before downloading.

1.2 Before Taking a Measurement
To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:
1.Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
2.Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking the measurement.
3.Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
4.Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
5.Remove tight-fitting clothing from your arm.
6.Keep 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. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.
