Omron BP4350 - Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor Manual

Omron BP4350 - Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor Manual

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON BP4350 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor. This blood pressure monitor is to be worn on your wrist.

This new blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. When the cuff inflates, this monitor senses the pressure pulsations of the artery underneath the cuff. The pulses are called oscillometric pulses. The electronic pressure sensor displays a digital reading of blood pressure.

Safety Instructions

This instruction manual provides you with important information about the OMRON BP4350 Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor. To ensure the safe and proper use of this monitor, READ and UNDERSTAND all of the safety and operating instructions. If you do not understand these instructions or have any questions, contact 1-800-634-4350 before attempting to use this monitor. For specific information about your own blood pressure, consult with your physician.

Intended Use

The device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in adult patient population with wrist circumference ranging from 5.3 inches to 8.5 inches (13.5 cm to 21.5 cm). The device detects the appearance of irregular heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal with readings.

Environments of Use: Home
Patient Population: Adult

Blood Pressure Measurement Tips

To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:

Applying the Wrist Cuff


Note

  1. Apply the wrist cuff to your left wrist.
    Roll up sleeve. Make sure your sleeve is not rolled up too tightly on your arm. This may constrict the flow of blood in your arm.
    Applying the Wrist Cuff - Step 1
  2. Put your wrist through the cuff loop. Your palm and monitor display should both face upward.
  3. Position the wrist cuff leaving a clearance of 0.5 inch (1 to 2 cm) between the cuff and the bottom of your palm.
    Applying the Wrist Cuff - Step 2
  4. Wrap the wrist cuff firmly around your wrist. Do not apply over clothing.
    Check to make sure that there is no gap between your wrist and the cuff.
    Applying the Wrist Cuff - Step 3


Note

Sitting Correctly

To take a measurement, you need to be relaxed and comfortably seated in a room with a comfortable temperature. Place your elbow on the table to support your arm.

Sitting Correctly

Selecting a User ID

Your monitor is designed to take measurements and store the readings in the memory for 2 people using the [user ID selection] switch.

Selecting a User ID

  1. Select your user ID (1 or 2).

Using Your Monitor without a Smart Device

Taking a Measurement

You can use your monitor without pairing to a smart device. To pair your monitor with a smart device, refer to Pairing Your Monitor with a Smart Device.


Note

  1. Press the [START/STOP] button.
    All symbols appear on the display before starting the measurement.
  2. Check the Heart Zone Indicator.
    Your monitor has a built-in heart zone indicator that is used as an aid in determining if the monitor is at the correct height. It has been designed to work with most people so that when your wrist is at the correct position relative to your heart, the "" symbol will light in blue. When your wrist is higher or lower position relative to your heart, a locator bar will appear according to the wrist position. Due to difference in individual size and physique, this feature may not be helpful in all cases and you may wish to disable this feature. If you feel the position of the wrist according to heart zone indicator's guidance does NOT match your heart level, disable this feature and follow your judgement. To disable it, refer to Disabling/Enabling Heart Zone Indicator.
    Taking a Measurement - Step 1

Monitor height Heart Zone Indicator

Wrist is too high Any locator bar (-) above the "" symbol appears.
Proper position The "" symbol lights in blue.
Wrist is too low Any locator bar (-) below the "" symbol appears.


Note

  1. Remain still and do not move or talk until the entire measurement process is completed.
    As the cuff inflates, your monitor automatically determines your ideal inflation level. This monitor detects your blood pressure and pulse rate during inflation.
    The " " symbol flashes at every heartbeat.


Note

After your monitor has detected your blood pressure and pulse rate, the cuff automatically deflates. Your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed.
If either the Systolic or the Diastolic reading is high (refer to Display Symbols), the " " symbol appears.
Taking a Measurement - Step 2

Press the [START/STOP] button to turn your monitor off.
