Before using the unit
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON i-Q132 Intellisense SpotArm™
Type Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor.
The OMRON i-Q132 Intellisense is a fully automatic 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 for pressure pre-setting or reinflation the device uses its advanced “Intellisense” technology.
The adjustable cuff angle corrects the body posture which tends to be
stooped. The elbow rest stabilizes the position and keeps the arm at
the most appropriate angle.
By simply placing the arm through the cuff, it automatically wraps
around your arm to the appropriate size and starts to measure your
blood pressure and pulse rate.
The monitor stores measurement results for two people and features
morning and evening averages.

batteries at the same time.
- When the battery low symbol () starts to blink, you will still be
able to use the unit for a short while. You should replace the
batteries with new ones ahead of time.
- When the symbol () remains lit, the batteries are exhausted. You
should replace the batteries with new ones at once. Turn the unit off
before replacing the batteries.
• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or
more.
• If the batteries have been removed for more than 30 seconds, the
Date/Time setting will need to be reset. See Chapter 2.3 for details.
• Dispose of batteries according to applicable local regulations.
Four new
“AA” alkaline batteries will last for approximately 250
measurements, when used to take six measurements a day using
battery power only.
Since the supplied batteries are for monitoring use only, they may have
a shorter life and not last for 250 measurements.
Your blood pressure monitor automatically stores up to 84 individual
measurement values with the date and time for each user.
To make use of the memory and average values functions:
• Set the unit to the correct date and time before taking a measurement
for the first time.
• If the batteries have been removed for more than 30 seconds, the
Date/Time setting will need to be reset.
Set the year, month, day, hours and minutes for the current date and
time.
(For details on changing the date and time setting, refer to “Adjusting
the Date and Time Setting”.)

Correct
Posture
Remove tight fitting clothing
from your upper arm, and any
thick clothing such as a sweater.
Do not place the cuff over thick
clothes and do not roll up your
sleeve if it is too tight.
Sit upright
with your
back
straight.
Place the center of
the arm cuff so that it
is at the same height
as your heart.
The gap between the
chair and the top of the
table should be
between 25cm to 30cm.
Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get accurate
results.
Notes:
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place and you should be in
a relaxed, seated position. Make sure that the room is not too hot or
too cold.
• Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, or exercising for at least 30
minutes before taking a measurement.
• Do not move or talk during measurement.
EN
19
Incorrect Posture
If you are leaning forwards, this can put pressure
on your stomach, which could cause the
measurement results to be incorrect. Readings
cannot be taken correctly in the following cases.
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.
Measurement could not be completed
successfully. (Refer to Chapter 4.1.)
Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another measurement.
Waiting between measurements allows the arteries to return to the
condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. Repeat the
measurement after your arm is relaxed again. (Refer to Chapter 3.3.)
7.Remove your arm and return
the arm cuff to its original
position.
The arm cuff will click into
place.
8.Press the O/I button to turn the power off.
Note: If you forget to turn the power off, the unit will turn itself
outside the standard range, the heartbeat
symbol will blink when the measurement
result is displayed.
Recent research suggests that the following
values can be used as a guide to high blood
pressure for measurements taken at home.
Systolic Blood PressureAbove 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood PressureAbove 85 mmHg
This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.
For professional office blood pressure measurement criteria,
please refer to Chapter 7.
• Your blood pressure monitor includes an
irregular heartbeat feature. Irregular
heartbeats can influence the results of the
measurement. The irregular heartbeat
algorithm automatically determines if the
measurement is usable or needs to be
repeated. If the measurement results are
affected by irregular heartbeats but the result
is valid, the result is shown together with the irregular
heartbeat icon. If the irregular heartbeats cause the
measurement to be invalid, no result is shown. If the irregular
heartbeat symbol () is shown after you have taken a
measurement, repeat the measurement. If the irregular
heartbeat symbol is shown frequently, please make your
doctor aware of it.
An irregular heartbeat is a
heartbeat rhythm that varies
by more than 25% from the
average heartbeat rhythm
detected while the unit is
measuring the systolic and
diastolic blood pressure.
If such an irregular rhythm is
detected more than twice
during measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol ()
appears on the display with the measurement results.
What is Arrhythmia?
A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals that cause the
heart to contract.
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. This can be caused by heart disease,
aging, physical predisposition, stress, lack of sleep, fatigue etc.
Arrhythmia can only be diagnosed by a doctor through a
special examination.
Whether the appearance of the irregular heartbeat symbol
() in the results indicates arrhythmia or not can only be
determined by an examination and diagnosis by your doctor.
Warning:
If the irregular heartbeat symbol () is shown frequently,
please make your doctor aware of it. Conducting selfdiagnosis and treatment based on measurement results
are dangerous. Be sure to follow the instructions of your
doctor.
