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

of the battery compartment
as indicated.
3. Replace the battery cover.
Notes:
If the Low Battery Indicator
( ) appears on the display,
replace all four batteries.
Long-life alkaline batteries
are recommended.
Remove the batteries if the

HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF
1. If the cuff is assembled correctly, the
hook material will be on the outside of
the cuff loop and the metal D-ring will
not touch your skin.
2. If the cuff is not assembled, pass
the end of the cuff furthest from
the tubing through the metal D-ring
to form a loop. The smooth cloth
should be on the inside of the cuff loop.
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. The bottom of the cuff should
be approximately 1-2 cm
above the elbow. The Green
Marker on the cuff should lie
over the brachial artery on the
inside of the arm. Tube
should run down center of
arm approximately even
with middle finger.

bottom edges are tightened
evenly around your arm.
6. When the cuff is positioned
correctly, press the sewn hook
material FIRMLY against the
pile side of the cuff.
7. Make certain the cuff fits
snugly around your arm.
The cuff should make
good contact with
your skin.
You should be able
to fit your index finger
between the cuff and your
arm easily, so you can pull
the cuff off and on.
8. Relax your arm and turn your
palm upward.
9. Be sure there are no kinks
in the air tubing.
You can also measure blood
pressure on your right arm.
Wrap the arm cuff as shown in
the Figure.

elbow.
2. Place the mark cloth inside the
elbow joint of your right arm.

HOW TO TAKE A READING
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
a) All display symbols appear for approximately
one second.
b) When the monitor becomes ready to measure,
the Heart Symbol appears on the display.
2. Press the START button and remain still.
As the cuff begins to inflate, the monitor automatically
determines your ideal inflation level. Because this
monitor detects the pulse even during inflation, do not
move your arm and remain still until the entire
measurement completes.
3. Inflation stops automatically
and measurement is started.
As the cuff slowly deflates, decreasing
numbers appear on the display and the Heart Symbol
( ) flashes at every heartbeat. In rare circumstances,
a higher inflation may be necessary. In those cases,
the monitor reinflates the cuff up to 30 mmHg higher
than initial inflation and restarts the measurement.
4. When the measurement is complete,
the arm cuff completely deflates and
your blood pressure and pulse rate
are displayed.
NOTE: The monitor automatically stores blood pressure
and pulse rate into the memory.
5. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the
monitor off.
NOTE: If you forget to turn the monitor off, it will
automatically shut itself off after five minutes.

If your systolic pressure is known to
be more than 220 mmHg, push and
hold the START button until the
monitor inflates 30 to 40 mmHg
higher than your suspected systolic
pressure.
NOTE: Do not apply more
pressure than necessary.
The monitor will not inflate
above 300 mmHg.
[
If you want to stop the measurement,
push the ON/OFF button. The monitor
will stop inflating and start deflating
rapidly, then the monitor will turn off.

ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE
What Causes High Blood Pressure ?
Blood pressure is only classed as high if it doesn’t go down when you rest.
Permanently raised blood pressure can be caused by several factors such as
hardening of the arteries, smoking or drinking too much alcohol. It can also be
caused by cholesterol, a type of fat, building up inside your blood vessels and
making them narrower. Being under stress can add to the problem.
High blood pressure is also known to run in families hence if you find you have a
high blood pressure it is a good idea to test other closely related members of your
family.
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 a
cause itself of high blood pressure. As a variety of conditions affect blood pressure,
a single measurement may not be sufficient for an accurate diagnosis.
The blood pressure measured first thing in the morning after getting up, before
eating and while at rest, is known as the fundamental blood pressure. In practice it
is rather difficult to record the fundamental blood pressure, but it is important to get
readings in an environment that is as close as possible to this.

Classification of Blood Pressure by the World

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the

the Blood Pressure Classification shown in this figure.
This classification is based on the blood presure 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.
