Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON MIT Elite Plus Upper Arm Blood
Pressure Monitor.
The OMRON MIT Elite Plus is a fully automatic blood pressure
monitor, operating on the oscillometric principle. It measures your
blood pressure and pulse rate simply and quickly. For comfortable
controlled inflation without the need for pressure pre-setting or re-
inflation the device uses its advanced “IntelliSense” technology.
The unit also stores up to 90 measurements in memory and calculates
an average reading based on the three most recent measurements
taken within 10 minutes of the last reading.
Omron’s blood pressure management software included with this unit
allows you to view, manage and print data about blood pressure
measured by the OMRON MIT Elite Plus. Included software is in
English only.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before
using the unit. For specific information about your own
blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

Battery Life & Replacement
If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display, replace all four
batteries at the same time.
- When the battery low symbol ( ) starts to blink, you will still be
able to use the unit for a short while. You should replace the
batteries with new ones ahead of time.
- When the symbol ( ) remains lit, the batteries are exhausted. You
should replace the batteries with new ones at once. Turn the unit off
before replacing the batteries.
• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or
more.
• If the batteries have been removed for more than 30 seconds, the
Date/Time setting will need to be reset. See “2.2 Setting the Date and
Time” for details.
• Dispose of batteries according to applicable local regulations.
Four new “AAA”alkaline batteries will last for approximately 300
measurements, when used to take three measurements a day.
Since the supplied batteries are for monitoring use only, they may have
a shorter life and not last for 300 measurements.

How to Sit Correctly When Taking a Measurement
You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm.
Notes:
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place and you should be in
a relaxed, seated position. Make sure that the room is not too hot or
cold.
• Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, or exercising for at least 30
minutes before taking a measurement.
• Do not move or talk during measurement.
Correct
Posture Remove tight fitting clothing from
your upper arm, and any thick
clothing such as a sweater.
Do not place the cuff over thick
clothes and do not roll up your sleeve
if it is too tight.
Sit upright
with your
back straight. Place your arm on a table so
that the cuff will be at the same
level as your heart.
The gap between the
chair and the top of the
table should be between
25cm to 30cm.

3.Using the Unit
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 after waking up is recommended.)
Incorrect Posture
These situations could lead to higher blood pressure values due to
strain or the arm cuff being lower than the heart.
If the arm cuff is at a lower position than your heart use cushions
etc., to adjust the height of your arm.
•Arched back (leaning
forwards)
•Sitting cross-legged
•Sitting on a sofa or at a low
table so that you tend to lean
forward

3.2 Applying the Arm Cuff
Notes:
• Be sure to wrap the arm cuff correctly so that you get accurate
results.
• Measurements can be taken in light clothing. However, please
remove thick clothes, such as sweaters, before taking a reading.
• You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm. The
blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm and
therefore also the measured blood pressure values can be different.
Omron recommends to always use the same arm for measurement. If
the values between the two arms differ substantially, please check
with your doctor which arm to use for your measurement.
Taking measurements on the left arm
1. Insert the air plug into the air
jack on the left side of the main
unit.

3.Using the Unit
2. Put your left arm through the cuff
loop.
Note: If the cuff is not assembled,
pass the end of the cuff
furthest from the tubing
through the metal D-ring to
form a loop. The smooth cloth
should be on the inside of the
cuff loop.

3. Position the arm correctly.
Taking measurements on the right arm
Apply the cuff so that the
air tube is at the side of
your elbow.
• Be careful not to rest
your arm on the air tube,
or otherwise restrict the
flow of air to the cuff.
• The cuff should be 1 to 2
cm above the elbow.
4. When the cuff is positioned correctly, close the fabric fastener
FIRMLY.
1) The air tube should run
down the inside of your
forearm and be in line with
your middle finger.
2) The bottom of the cuff
should be approximately 1
to 2 cm above your elbow.
3) Apply the cuff to your
upper arm so that the
coloured marker (blue
arrow under tube) is
centred on the middle of
your inner arm and points
down the inside of the
arm.

3.Using the Unit
3.3 Taking a Reading
1. Press the O/I START button to turn on the unit.
All symbols appear on the display.
The cuff starts to inflate automatically. As the cuff inflates, the
unit automatically determines your ideal inflation level. This unit
detects the pulse during inflation. Do not move your arm and
remain still until the entire measurement process is completed.
Note: To stop the inflation or measurement, press and release
the O/I START button. The unit will stop inflating, start
deflation and will turn off.
2. When the measurement is complete, the arm
cuff completely deflates. Your blood pressure
and pulse rate are displayed.
