Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON BP5250 Blood Pressure Monitor.
This monitor can be used by multiple users. This blood pressure monitor
uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This
means this monitor detects your blood movement through your brachial
artery and converts the movements into a digital reading.
Safety Instructions
This instruction manual provides you with important information about the
OMRON BP5250 Blood Pressure Monitor. To ensure the safe and proper

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
This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood
pressure and pulse rate in adult patient population. The device detects the
appearance of irregular heartbeats during measurement and gives a
warning signal with readings.
Receiving and Inspection
Remove this monitor and other components from the packaging and
inspect for damage. If this monitor or any other components is damaged,

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
•DO NOT use this monitor on infants, toddlers, children or persons
who cannot express themselves.
•DO NOT adjust medication based on readings from this blood
pressure monitor. Take medication as prescribed by your
physician. ONLY a physician is qualified to diagnose and treat high
blood pressure.
•DO NOT use this monitor on an injured arm or an arm under
medical treatment.
•DO NOT apply the arm cuff on your arm while on an intravenous
drip or blood transfusion.
•DO NOT use this monitor in areas containing high frequency (HF)
surgical equipment, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment,
computerized tomography (CT) scanners. This may result in
incorrect operation of the monitor and/or cause an inaccurate
reading.
•DO NOT use this monitor in oxygen rich environments or near
flammable gas.
•Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have
common arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats
or atrial fibrillation; arterial sclerosis; poor perfusion; diabetes;
pregnancy; pre-eclampsia or renal disease. NOTE that any of these
conditions in addition to patient motion, trembling, or shivering
may affect the measurement reading.

patient, or cause damage to the equipment or other property.
•Stop using this monitor and consult with your physician if you
experience skin irritation or discomfort.
•Consult with your physician before using this monitor on an arm
where intravascular access or therapy, or an arterio-venous (A-V)
shunt, is present because of temporary interference to blood flow
which could result in injury.

7
•Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have
had a mastectomy.
•Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have
severe blood flow problems or blood disorders as cuff inflation can
cause bruising.
•DO NOT take measurements more often than necessary because
bruising, due to blood flow interference, may occur.
•ONLY inflate the arm cuff when it is applied on your upper arm.
•Remove the arm cuff if it does not start deflating during a
measurement.
•DO NOT use this monitor for any purpose other than measuring
blood pressure.
•During measurement, make sure that no mobile device or any other
electrical device that emits electromagnetic fields is within 12
inches (30 cm) of this monitor. This may result in incorrect
operation of the monitor and/or cause an inaccurate reading.
•DO NOT disassemble or attempt to repair this monitor or other
components. This may cause an inaccurate reading.
•DO NOT use in a location where there is moisture or a risk of water
splashing this monitor. This may damage this monitor.
•DO NOT use this monitor in a moving vehicle such as in a car.

vibrations.
•DO NOT use this monitor in places with high or low humidity or
high or low temperatures. Refer to section 10.
•During measurement, observe the arm to ensure that the monitor is
not causing prolonged impairment to blood circulation.
•DO NOT use this monitor in high-use environments such as
medical clinics or physician offices.
•DO NOT use this monitor with other medical electrical (ME)
equipment simultaneously. This may result in incorrect operation of
the monitor and/or cause an inaccurate reading.
•Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising
and eating for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
•Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.

8
•Remove tight-fitting or thick clothing from your arm while taking a
measurement.
•Remain still and DO NOT talk while taking a measurement.
•ONLY use the arm cuff on persons whose arm circumference is
within the specified range of the cuff.
•Ensure that this monitor has acclimated to room temperature
before taking a measurement. Taking a measurement after an
extreme temperature change could lead to an inaccurate reading.
OMRON recommends waiting for approximately 2 hours for the
monitor to warm up or cool down when the monitor is used in an
environment within the temperature specified as operating
conditions after it is stored either at the maximum or at the
minimum storage temperature. For additional information on
operating and storage/transport temperature, refer to section 10.
•DO NOT use this monitor after the durable period has ended. Refer
to section 10.
•DO NOT crease the arm cuff or the air tube excessively.
•DO NOT fold or kink the air tube while taking a measurement. This
may cause an injury by interrupting blood flow.
•To unplug the air plug, pull on the plastic air plug at the base of the
tube, not the tube itself.
•ONLY use the AC adapter, arm cuff, batteries and accessories
specified for this monitor. Use of unsupported AC adapters, arm
cuffs and batteries may damage and/or may be hazardous to this
monitor.
•ONLY use the approved arm cuff for this monitor. Use of other arm
cuffs may result in incorrect readings.
•Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising
of the arm where the cuff is applied. NOTE: refer to “If your
systolic pressure is more than 210 mmHg” in section 3 of this
instruction manual for additional information.
