• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place and you should be in
a relaxed, seated position. Make sure that the room is not too hot or
too cold.
• Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, or exercising for at least 30
minutes before taking a measurement.
• Do not move or talk during measurement.

3.Using the Unit

Note: 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
measurement. If the values between the two arms differ
substantially, please check with your physician which
arm to use for your measurement.

Incorrect Posture

• Arched back (leaning forwards)

• Sitting cross-legged
• Sitting on a sofa or at a low table
so that you tend to lean forward

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.

9.Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure

9. 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 pressure. 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.

9.Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure

Classification of Blood Pressure by the World Health Organization

The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Society of
Hypertension (ISH) developed the Blood Pressure Classification shown
in this figure.
Systolic blood pressure
(mmHg)

Severe hypertension
180
Moderate hypertension
160
Mild hypertension
140
Normal systolic value
130
Normal blood
pressure
120
Optimal blood
pressure Diastolic
(target value) blood
pressure
80 85 90 100 110
(mmHg)

This classification is based on the blood pressure values measured on

people in a sitting position in outpatient departments of hospitals.
Note: There is no universally accepted definition of hypotension.
However, those having the systolic pressure below 100 mmHg
are assumed as hypotensive.
