Diseases influencing blood pressure values

Diabetes, hyperlipemia, or hypertension accelerates arterial

sclerosis, which causes dangerous disease such as cerebral

apoplexy or myocardial infarction or induces arterial stenosis

or peripheral circulatory disorder.

In these cases, the wrist and brachial blood pressure values

may differ greatly. (Even in healthy people, a difference of 20

mmHg may occur if the measuring conditions are not proper.

Therefore do not try to diagnose the measurement values by

yourself, but be sure to follow the instructions of your doctor.)

In addition, difference of wrist and brachial blood pressure val-

ues may somewhat get affected by the physiological condi-

tions at the time of measurement. However, the blood pres-

sure values measured at wrist and upper arm usually fluctuate

in the same manner.

Therefore, you can check the fluctuation tendency of blood

pressure by measuring the wrist blood pressure.

Differences between blood pressure measured at home and at the doctor’s office

Normally blood pressure measured at home tends to be lower than when measured at the doctor’s office. This can be as much as 20 mmHg due to that you feel more relaxed at home and feel slightly tense when visiting the doctor. To manage your blood pressure it is important to monitor and register your blood pressure at home.

Since blood pressure is fluctuating from beat to beat and is influenced by daily activities measure- ments can differ from measurement to measurement.

Maintenance and storage

•For cleaning the monitor only use a soft, lightly moistened cloth.

•Do not use petroleum spirits, thinners or similar solvents!

•Stains on the cuff can be carefully removed using a moist cloth and soapy water.

•Do not wash the cuff or make it wet. Please make sure no water will enter the main unit!

•Keep your monitor in the storage case protected from extreme temperatures and humidity.

•Do not carry out repairs of any kind yourself. If a defect occurs consult your OMRON dealer or dis- tributor.

•Please take the batteries out if the monitor is not used for a long period (app. 2 months or more).

•Electro Magnetic fields can influence the measurement. Do not use a protable phone near the unit.

Disposal of this product and used batteries should be carried out in accordance with the national regulations for the disposal of electronic products.
