Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the IA1B Omron Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor
with IntelliSenseTM. Although your blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day,
no self adjustment is necessary as the monitor intelligently adjusts to your
changing conditions. The IntelliSenseTM monitor uses fuzzy logic intelligence to
sense both your systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, and the result is
personalized inflation for every reading. This virtually eliminates discomfort or
incorrect readings due to improper cuff inflation.
The IA1B also stores up to 90 sets of measurements in memory and displays
an average reading based on the three most recent measurements.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit. For specific
information about your own blood pressure, consult your doctor.

Quick Reference Guide
To help ensure a reliable reading, avoid eating, smoking, exercising for at least
30 minutes before taking a measurement. You should also try to measure your
blood pressure at the same time each day.
1. Remove any tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm.
2. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your arm on a table so
that the arm cuff will be at the same level as your heart.
3. Apply the arm cuff to your upper arm.
• The cuff blue strip should be at the center of your inner arm, so that the air
tube is in line with your middle finger.
4. Secure the cuff around your arm using the velcro strip.

•The arm cuff will start to inflate and the
monitor will start the measurement.
•Remain still and do not talk during
the measurement.
6. When measurement is complete, the monitor
displays your blood pressure and pulse rate,
and automatically deflates the cuff.
Notes:
•Always wait at least 2-3 minutes before taking another blood
pressure measurement.
You may require more rest time between readings depending on
your individual physiological conditions.
•Only use the IA1B to measure your own blood pressure since the results of
measurements are stored in memory.
