Before Using the Monitor

Thank you for purchasing OMRON SEM-1 Automatic Blood PressureMonitor.

INTRODUCTION

3

Your new digital blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method ofblood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects yourblood’s movement through your brachial artery and converts themovements into a digital reading. An oscillometric monitor does not needa stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use.

The SEM-1 Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor is intended for home use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

HOW TO INSTALL/REPLACE THE BATTERIES

EN-02-29[SEM-1]-6 9/13/05 10:22 AM

You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm.

NOTE: Measurements should be taken in a quiet place and you shouldbe in a relaxed, seated position. Make sure that the room is nottoo hot or cold.

Do not take a measurement after bathing, alcohol or exercise.

HOW TO SIT CORRECTLY WHEN TAKING A MEASUREMENT

11

CorrectPosture

Remove tight fitting clothing fromyour upper arm, and any thickclothing such as a sweater.Do not place the cuff over thickclothes and do not roll up your sleeveif it is too tight.

Place your arm on a table sothat the cuff will be at the samelevel as your heart.

Sit uprightwith yourback straight.

The gap between thechair and the top of thetable should be between10" to 12".

EN-02-29[SEM-1]-4 8/23/05 11:10 AM

NOTES:• Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get accurate

results. • You should also try to measure your blood pressure at the same time

each day. (Within 1 hour of waking is recommended.)

HOW TO SIT CORRECTLY WHEN TAKING A MEASUREMENT

12

Incorrect Posture

• Arched back (leaning forwards)• Sitting cross-legged• Sitting on a sofa or at a low table

so that you tend to lean forwards

These situations could lead to higher blood pressure reading due to strain or thearm cuff being lower than the heart.

If the arm cuff is at a lower position than your heart use cushions etc., to adjustthe height of your arm.

EN-02-29[SEM-1]-4 8/23/05 11:10 AM

Be sure to wrap the arm cuff correctly so that you get accurate results.

Measurements can be taken in light clothing. However, please removethick clothes, such as sweaters, before taking a reading.

1. Insert the air plug into the air jack on theleft side of the main unit.

2. Put your left arm through the cuff loop.

The air tube should run down the inside ofyour forearm and be in line with yourmiddle finger.

NOTE: If the cuff is not assembled, pass theend of the cuff furthest from thetubing through the metal D-ring toform a loop. The smooth cloth shouldbe on the inside of the cuff loop.

HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF
