Preparing for Measurement

Before using the Omron BP785, ensure the monitor is on a stable surface and the cuff is properly positioned on your upper arm. Remove tight clothing and sit comfortably with your arm at heart level. Allow the device to power up and select your user ID (A or B). The monitor will guide you through the preparation process, ensuring accurate readings. Follow the on-screen instructions carefully to complete the setup and prepare for measurement.

Taking Blood Pressure Readings

To take a blood pressure reading with the Omron BP785, sit still and press the Start button. The cuff will inflate automatically, and the monitor will begin measuring your blood pressure using the oscillometric method. Remain motionless during the process to ensure accuracy. Once complete, your systolic, diastolic, and heart rate will be displayed. If an irregular heartbeat is detected, the irregular heartbeat symbol will appear. The monitor will store the reading in memory for future reference, providing you with accurate and reliable blood pressure monitoring at home.

Understanding Measurement Accuracy

The Omron BP785 uses the oscillometric method to measure blood pressure accurately. It detects irregular heartbeats and provides reliable readings, ensuring precise monitoring for better health management.

The Oscillometric Method

The Omron BP785 employs the oscillometric method, a non-invasive technique to measure blood pressure. It works by inflating the cuff to restrict blood flow, then gradually deflating while detecting pressure oscillations in the artery.

These oscillations are analyzed to determine systolic and diastolic pressures. The IntelliSense technology ensures the cuff inflates to the optimal level for accurate readings, providing reliable results with minimal effort.

Ensuring Accurate Readings

To ensure accurate readings, use the correct cuff size, sit comfortably with your arm at heart level, and avoid movement during measurement. The IntelliSense technology automatically inflates to the optimal pressure for precise results. For best accuracy, follow the preparation guidelines in the manual, such as resting for 5 minutes before measuring and avoiding caffeine or nicotine. If the monitor detects irregular heartbeats, it will alert you, allowing you to retake the measurement for reliable results.

• Use the correct cuff size for your arm.
• Ensure your arm is at heart level.
• Avoid talking or moving during measurement.
• Follow pre-measurement preparation steps.

Memory Function and Data Management

The Omron BP785 stores up to 200 readings for two users, making it easy to track blood pressure trends over time. It also calculates average readings for accurate monitoring.
