Before using the unit
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON MIT Elite Plus Upper Arm Blood
Pressure Monitor.
The OMRON MIT Elite Plus 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 unit also stores up to 90 measureme nts in memor y and calculates
an average reading based on the three most recent measurements
taken within 10 minutes of the last reading.
Omron’s blood pressure management software included with this unit
allows you to view, manage and print data about blood pressure
measured by the OMRON MIT Elite Plus. Included 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
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.
• Arched back (leaning
forwards)
• Sitting cross-legged
• Sitting on a sofa or at a low
table so that you tend to lean
forward
Notes:
• Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get accurate
results.
• You sh ould also try to m easur e yo ur blo od pr essu re at the same time
each day. (Within 1 hour after waking up is recommended.)

3.2Applying the Arm Cuff
Notes:
• 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.
• 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 measu rement. If
the values between the two arms differ substantially, please check
with your doctor which arm to use for your measurement.

appear on the display.
22
3.Using the Unit
Important:
• 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.
This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.
For professional office blood pressure measurement criteria, please
refer to Chapter 10 “Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure”.
• Your bloo d 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 resu lts
are affected by irregular heartbeats but th e re sult
is valid, the result is shown together with the
irregular heartbeat symbol. 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.

3.Using the Unit
Normal Heartbeat
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 symbol when the
measurement results are displayed.
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 (tachycard ia) 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

10.SomeUseful Information about Blood Pressure
10.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 pr essure. 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 135/85, is referred to as 135
over 85 mmHg.

Classification of Blood Pressure by the W orld Heat h Organization
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Society of
Hypertension (ISH) developed the Blood Press ur e Cla ssific at ion
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.
*There is no universally accepted definition of hypotension. However,
those having the systolic pressure below 100 mmHg are assumed as
hypotensive.
