Introduction
The OMRON MX2 Basic measures your blood pressure and pulse simply and quickly
from the arm, without the use of an inflation bulb or stethoscope.
The OMRON MX2 Basic includes a standard cuff for arm circumferences ranging from
22-32 cm. Optional large cuffs (32-42 cm) can be applied.

Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC.s and mobile (cellular) telephones,
medical devices in use may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference from other devices.
Electromagnetic interference may result in incorrect operation of the medical device and create a
potentially unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) with the aim to
prevent unsafe product situations, the EN60601-1-2 standard has been implemented. This
standard defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum
levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical devices.
This medical device manufactured by OMRON Healthcare conforms to this EN60601-1-2:2001
standard for both immunity and emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:
• Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices, which generate strong electrical or
electromagnetic fields, near the medical device.This may result in incorrect operation of the unit
and create a potentially unsafe situation. Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of
7 m. Verify correct operation of the device in case the distance is shorter.
Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2001 is available at OMRON Healthcare
Europe at the address mentioned in this instruction manual.
Documentation is also available at www.omron-healthcare.com.

8 General information about blood pressure
MX2 Basic English
Blood circulation
The blood circulation is responsible for
supplying the body with oxygen. Blood
pressure is the pressure exerted on the
arteries.
The systolic blood pressure value (higher
pressure or top value) represents the
blood pressure produced by contraction of
the heart muscle.
The diastolic blood pressure value (lower
pressure or lower value) represents the
blood pressure produced by relaxation of
the heart muscle.
Classification of blood pressure
The World Health Organisation (WHO)
and the International Society of
Hypertension (ISH) developed the blood
pressure classification. This classification
is based on the blood pressure values
measured while sitting on a chair in the
outpatient department of a hospital.
Systolic blood pressure

Health and blood pressure
The incidence of hypertension increases
with age. In addition, a lack of exercise,
excess body fat and high levels of cholesterol (LDL), which sticks to the inside in
blood vessels, reduces elasticity of these
vessels. Hypertension accelerates arterial
sclerosis which can lead to very serious
conditions such as stroke and myocardial
infarction. For these reasons it is very
important to know whether the blood
pressure is within a healthy range. Blood
pressure fluctuates from minute to minute,
throughout the day. Therefore it is essential
to take regular measurements to help you
identify an average blood pressure.
Symptoms of high blood pressure
High blood pressure can go unnoticed for
a long time, since it does not cause noticeable symptoms.The following are all
possible causes of abnormally high blood
pressure:

• Overweight
• High cholesterol level
• Smoking
• Excessive alcohol consumption
• Stress and emotional upset
• Excessive consumption of salt
• Lack of physical exercise
• Genetic/hereditary predisposition
• Underlying illnesses, such as kidney
disorders or endocrine disturbance
Blood pressure measurement
Measuring your blood pressure daily
enables you to recognize high blood
pressure at an early stage and obtain
medical treatment.
The oscillometric method of measurement
determines your blood pressure by
measuring the pressure fluctuations
caused by the pulse waves.
Since your blood pressure fluctuates
within a day (see graphic next page), you
should always measure it at the same
time each day to ensure that the
measurements are genuinely comparable.
At the doctor’s surgery, nervousness and
tension may cause your blood pressure to
be higher than in familiar circumstances at
home. This is known as “White Coat
Hypertension”.
Treatment of high blood pressure
If your blood pressure reaches upper
values of 140 - 160 mmHg and lower
values of 90 - 95 mmHg in repeated
measurements over several days, you
should consult your doctor for detailed
medical examination.You can assist the
treatment prescribed by your doctor in the
following ways:
• Loose weight and lower your cholesterol
level by reducing the calories and fat in
your diet. Cut down on animal fats and
eat more fruit and vegetables.
• Reduce the consumption of alcohol.
• Reduce the intake of salt: the German
League for Combating High Blood
Pressure recommends six grams of salt
per day (i.e. one teaspoon) on average.
• Stop smoking.
• Take regular exercise.
• Monitor your blood pressure.
Example: fluctuation within a day (male, 35 years old)
