Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON i-Q142 Intellisense SpotArm™ Type Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor.

The OMRON i-Q142 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

Introduction

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.

Omron's blood pressure management software and printer are optional. The software allows you to view, manage and print data about blood pressure measured by the OMRON i-Q142 Intellisense. Software is in English only.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit. For specific information about your own blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

3. Using the Unit

Symbol Information:

• If your systolic or diastolic pressure is

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 Pressure Above 135 mmHg

Diastolic Blood Pressure Above 85 mmHg

This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement. For professional office blood pressure measurement criteria, please refer to Chapter 8.

• 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.

What is Irregular Heartbeat?

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 self-

diagnosis and treatment based on measurement results are dangerous. Be sure to follow the instructions of your doctor.

8. Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure

What is Blood Pressure?

Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly changing during the course of the heart's cycle.

The highest pressure in the cycle is called the Systolic Blood Pressure; the lowest is the Diastolic Blood Pressure.

Both pressure readings, the Systolic and Diastolic, are necessary to enable a doctor to evaluate the status of a patient's blood pressure.

Why is it a Good Thing to measure Blood Pressure at Home?

Having your blood pressure measured by a doctor can cause anxiety which is itself a cause of high blood pressure. As a variety of conditions affect blood pressure, a single measurement may not be sufficient for an accurate diagnosis.

Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of day, can influence your blood pressure. Thus it is best to try and measure your blood pressure at the same time each day, to get an accurate indication of any changes in blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in the morning and increases from afternoon to evening. It is lower in the summer and higher in the winter.

Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and measurements are written with the systolic pressure before the diastolic e.g. A blood pressure written as 140/90, is referred to as 140 over 90 mmHg.

Diastolic blood pressure (mmHg)

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.
