Note:
Note: It is recommended that the cuff be applied as tightly as acceptable for the
patient. A too loose cuff will cause much longer blood pressure measurement
times and possibly aborted measurements. With an overly loose cuff, the
monitor must pump to tighten the cuff on the arm and then it must reach the
pressure necessary for measurement. This causes considerable inconvenience
for the patient and results in less data for evaluation. If the patient removes
the cuff for a period during the monitoring session, it should be re-applied
with appropriate tightness, with help from another person, if necessary. Should
blood pressure measurements cause blood shots, torpidity or pain in the hand
after an individual measurement, the cuff should be removed from the arm and
disconnected from the monitor. Such occurrence should be reported to the
physician at once after the monitoring session.
OMRON M24/7 recognizes and functions with three different cuff sizes. Please
set the appropriate cuff size to be used during the programming of the device.
Attention: inappropriate setting of the cuff size may lead to device malfunctioning,
which is inconvenient for the patient and may lead to an unsuccessful measurement.
