Description
The Omron Professional Blood Pressure Monitor is a mobile professional for medical professionals. The upper arm blood pressure monitor for healthcare professionals is easy to use, has a robust design, and an integrated handle that makes carrying easier, with fully automatic oscillometric measurement. This device has been clinically proven to deliver fast and reliable results. Thanks to the 4-button design, the operation of the blood pressure monitor is intuitive; the display can be read very easily by the lighting and large numbers. The monitor has a shock-proof bumper that protects against falls, and the monitor and the cuffs can be disinfected with alcohol based cleaning agents for an easy clean. As the monitor is designed for regular blood pressure measurements, it is compact, lightweight, and has an integrated handle for easy carrying from patient to patient. Depending on patient’s condition such as atrial fibrillation, fully automatic oscillometric measurement or manual auscultation mode (using a stethoscope) can be chosen. The pressure display range is 0 to 300 mmHg and NIBP accuracy has a maximum mean error within ±5 mmHg and maximum standard deviation within 8 mmHg. The pulse rate accuracy is within ±5 % of reading, and the display type is a 7 segment LCD.
Oscillometric method: The beat in the pulsation generated by the contraction of the heart is captured as the pressure inside the cuff to measure the blood pressure. If the cuff wrapped around the upper arm is pressurized sufficiently, the blood flow stops, but the beat of the pulsation is present and the pressure inside the cuff receives this and oscillates. Next, as the pressure inside the cuff gradually decreases, the oscillation of the pressure within the cuff gradually increases and reaches a peak. As the pressure within the cuff decreases further, the oscillation decreases from its peak.
The pressure within the cuff and the relationship with the increase and decrease of the oscillation within the cuff in this series of processes are stored into memory, calculations are carried out, and the blood pressure value is determined. The pressure within the cuff when the oscillation increases drastically is the systolic pressure and the pressure within the cuff when the oscillation decreases drastically is the diastolic pressure. Also, the pressure within the cuff when the oscillation peaks is taken as the average pulsation pressure. The oscillometric method does not determine the blood pressure value instantly like a microphone type automatic blood pressure gauge with the auscultation method, but rather determines it from the series of change curves as explained above. Therefore, it is not easily affected by external noise, an electric scalpel or other electro surgical instruments.
Size: 123mm x 201mm x 99mm.
The Omron Professional Blood Pressure Monitor contains:

• Instruction Manual
• Guarantee Card
Uses
The Omron Professional Blood Pressure Monitor is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in adult and paediatric patient population with arm circumference ranging from 12 cm to 50 cm (from 5 inches to 20 inches). This device is intended for use on adults and children of age 3-years and older and should be used by a medical professional. It is designed for use in physicians’ offices, hospitals, clinics, and other medical facilities.
Application
Installing the batteries:
• Make sure the AC adapter has been disconnected
• Remove the two screws from the top of the rear unit cover, and remove the battery cover
• Connect the battery pack to the connector on the monitor, and insert the battery pack into the compartment so that the triangle mark on the battery pack is aligned with the triangle mark on the monitor
• Replace the battery cover and secure with screws
• Take care not to pinch the wires when replacing the cover
• Connect the AC adapter to the unit and charge the battery pack
• When using the battery pack for the first time, be sure to fully charge (about 4 hours) before using
Applying the Cuff to the Patient:
• Connect the cuff tube to the NIBP connector on the unit and turn clockwise to lock
• Wrap the cuff on a bare arm or over thin clothing – thick clothing or a rolled up sleeve will cause inaccurate blood pressure measurements.
• he device can be used on either the right or left arm
• Align the artery mark “INDEX ARTERY” with the brachial artery
• Run the cuff tube out the peripheral side with no bends (the brachial artery is on the inner side of the patient’s upper arm)
• Make sure that “INDEX ARTERY” is within the “RANGE” and the lower edge of the cuff is 1 to 2 cm from the inner side of the elbow joint
• If “INDEX ARTERY” is outside the “RANGE”, error in the blood pressure value will increase – in this case, use a different cuff size
• As a guideline for the tightness of the cuff, It should be possible to insert about two fingers under the cuff
Taking the Measurement in Manual Mode:
• Press the [START/STOP] button
• Blood pressure measurement is performed once
• The measurement results are displayed
• If a measurement value is outside the corresponding range below, the value will flash
o SYS: 59 mmHg or less, or 251 mmHg or higher
o DIA: 39 mmHg or less, or 201 mmHg or higher
o PULSE: 39 bpm or less, or 201 bpm or higher
• If inflation is insufficient, inflation may restart automatically while measurement is in progress
• If the pulse wave interval becomes irregular during measurement, the irregular pulse wave detection icon will light to notify you
• If body movement is detected during measurement, deflation stops for 5 seconds. The irregular pulse wave icon appears in the measurement result display
• After 5 seconds, measurement resumes, and an attempt is made to complete measurement in one cycle
Taking the Measurement in “Auscultation Mode”:
• Use a stethoscope to perform measurement
• When set to “ON”, SYS and DIA can be recorded using auscultation measurement
• To determine SYS and DIA during measurement, press the [MODE] button
• SYS is registered the first time and DIA is registered the second time you press the [MODE] button during deflation
• After DIA is determined, the cuff rapidly deflates and SYS and DIA are displayed as the measurement results
• The pulse rate does not appear in the measurement result display
• During deflation, the left pointing arrow button can be held down to re-inflate, or the right pointing arrow button can be held down to deflate faster
• Stored data that was measured in “Auscultation Mode” is displayed when the auscultation icon is lit
• The body movement detection function is disabled while “Auscultation Mode” is in use
• To stop measurement while measurement is in progress, press [START/STOP] button
Displaying the Last Reading:
• The previous measurement value (systolic blood pressure, diastolic blood pressure, and pulse rate) and whether or not an irregular pulse wave was detected can be displayed
• In the case of auscultation measurement, the auscultation icon appears
• If an irregular pulse wave or body movement was detected, the irregular pulse wave icon appears
• When the data was measured in “Auscultation Mode”, the auscultation icon appears
• If the mode button is held down at least 3 seconds when a measurement result is displayed, the measured data is cleared without being stored
