INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Omron Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor
and Print-Out with IntelliSenseTM, T9P. 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 with every reading. Arm discomfort and misreading due to
improper cuff inflation are virtually eliminated.
Your new OMRON monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood
pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood’s
movement through your brachial artery and converts the movements into
a digital reading. At the push of a button, the monitor automatically fills
the cuff with air, starts deflation, then displays your systolic, diastolic,
and pulse readings on an extra large display panel.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using
this unit. For specific information on your own blood pressure,
CONTACT YOUR DOCTOR.

hook material will be on the outside of
the cuff loop and the metal D-ring will
not touch your skin.

floor and place your arm on a table
so that the cuff is at the same level
as your heart.
4. Put your arm through the cuff
loop. The bottom of the cuff should
be approximately 1-2 cm
above the elbow. The Green
Marker on the cuff should lie
over the brachial artery on the
