TITLE

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Omron Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor and Print-Out with IntelliSense

, T9P. Although your blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day, no self-adjustment is necessary as the monitor intelligently adjusts to your changing conditions. The IntelliSense

monitor uses fuzzy logic intelligence to sense both your systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, and the result is personalized inflation with every reading. Arm discomfort and misreading due to improper cuff inflation are virtually eliminated.

Your new OMRON monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood’s movement through your brachial artery and converts the movements into a digital reading. At the push of a button, the monitor automatically fills the cuff with air, starts deflation, then displays your systolic, diastolic, and pulse readings on an extra large display panel.

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

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.

2. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm.

3. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your arm on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.

4. Put your arm through the cuff loop making sure that the bottom edge of the cuff is approximately 1-2 cm above the elbow and that the Green Marker on the cuff is above brachial artery.

5. Pull the end of the cuff so that the entire cuff is evenly tightened around your arm and press the hook material firmly against the pile side of the cuff.

6. Press the ON/OFF button.

7. After the Heart Symbol ( ) appears on the digital panel, press the Start button, and remain still until the measurement is complete.

8. When measurement is complete, the monitor displays your blood pressure and pulse rate, and automatically deflates the cuff.

9. Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurement.

You may require more rest time between readings depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
