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.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before
taking a measurement.
2. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your upper arm.
3. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the 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 making sure that the bottom edge
of the cuff is approximately 1-2 cm above the elbow and that
the Green Marker on the cuff is above brachial artery.
5. Pull the end of the cuff so that the entire cuff is evenly tightened
around your arm and press the hook material firmly against the pile
side of the cuff.
6. Press the ON/OFF button.
7. After the Heart Symbol ( ) appears on the digital panel, press the Start
button, and remain still until the measurement is complete.
8. When measurement is complete, the monitor displays your blood
pressure and pulse rate, and automatically deflates the cuff.
9. Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurement.
You may require more rest time between readings depending
on your individual physiological characteristics.

HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF
1. If the cuff is assembled correctly, the
hook material will be on the outside of
the cuff loop and the metal D-ring will
not touch your skin.
2. 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. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the
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
inside of the arm. Tube
should run down center of
arm approximately even
with middle finger.

bottom edges are tightened
evenly around your arm.
6. When the cuff is positioned
correctly, press the sewn hook
material FIRMLY against the
pile side of the cuff.
7. Make certain the cuff fits
snugly around your arm.

between the cuff and your
arm easily, so you can pull
the cuff off and on.
8. Relax your arm and turn your
palm upward.
9. Be sure there are no kinks
in the air tubing.
You can also measure blood
pressure on your right arm.
Wrap the arm cuff as shown in
the Figure.

elbow.
2. Place the mark cloth inside the
elbow joint of your right arm.

HOW TO TAKE A READING
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
a) All display symbols appear for approximately
one second.
b) When the monitor becomes ready to measure,
the Heart Symbol appears on the display.
2. Press the START button and remain still.
As the cuff begins to inflate, the monitor automatically
determines your ideal inflation level. Because this
monitor detects the pulse even during inflation, do not
move your arm and remain still until the entire
measurement completes.
3. Inflation stops automatically
and measurement is started.
As the cuff slowly deflates, decreasing
numbers appear on the display and the Heart Symbol
( ) flashes at every heartbeat. In rare circumstances,
a higher inflation may be necessary. In those cases,
the monitor reinflates the cuff up to 30 mmHg higher
than initial inflation and restarts the measurement.
4. When the measurement is complete,
the arm cuff completely deflates and
your blood pressure and pulse rate
are displayed.
NOTE: The monitor automatically stores blood pressure
and pulse rate into the memory.
5. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the
monitor off.
NOTE: If you forget to turn the monitor off, it will
automatically shut itself off after five minutes.
