Before using the unit  
Introduction  
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON i-C10 Intellisense Upper Arm  
Blood Pressure Monitor.  
The OMRON i-C10 Intellisense 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 monitor stores measurement results for two people and features  
morning and evening averages. The auto mode allows for three  
consecutive measurements with timed intervals for an average  
reading.  
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before  
using the unit. For specific information about your own  
blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

3.1 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, 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  
Arched back (leaning  
forwards)  
Sitting cross-legged  
Sitting on a sofa or at a low  
table so that you tend to lean  
forward  
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.

Notes:  
• Make certain the cuff fits snugly around your arm.  
• The cuff should make good contact with your skin. You should  
be able to fit your index finger between the cuff and your arm  
easily, so you can pull the cuff off and on.  
• Make sure that there are no kinks in the air tubing.  
Taking Measurements on the Right Arm  
Please note the following points when  
applying the cuff to your right arm. Apply the  
cuff so that the air tube is at the side of your  
elbow.  
Notes:  
• Be careful not to rest your arm on the air  
tube, or otherwise restrict the flow of air to  
the cuff.  
• Apply the arm cuff so that no part of the  
cuff is positioned over the elbow joint. The  
cuff should be 1 to 2 cm above the elbow.  
• If used 2 times per day, the cuff will last for 3 years.  
• 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 physician which arm to use for your  
measurement.

3. Using the Unit  
Important:  
• If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside the  
standard range, the heartbeat symbol will blink when  
the measurement result is displayed.  
Recent research suggests that the following values  
can be used as a guide to high blood pressure for  
measurements taken at home.  
Systolic Blood Pressure  
Above 135 mmHg  
Diastolic Blood Pressure  
Above 85 mmHg  
This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.  
For professional office blood pressure measurement criteria, please  
refer to Chapter 9.  
• Your blood pressure monitor includes an irregular  
heartbeat feature. Irregular heartbeats can influence  
the results of the measurement. The irregular  
heartbeat algorithm automatically determines if the  
measurement is usable or needs to be repeated. If  
the measurement results are affected by irregular  
heartbeats but the result is valid, the result is shown  
together with the irregular heartbeat icon. If the irregular heartbeats  
cause the measurement to be invalid, no result is shown. If the  
irregular heartbeat symbol (  
) is shown after you have taken a  
EN  
measurement, repeat the measurement. If the irregular heartbeat  
icon is shown frequently, please make your doctor aware of it.

3. Using the Unit  
What is Irregular Heartbeat?  
Normal Heartbeat  
Irregular Heartbeat  
An irregular heartbeat is a heartbeat  
rhythm that varies by more than 25%  
from the average heartbeat rhythm  
detected while the unit is measuring  
the systolic and diastolic blood  
pressure.  
Pulse  
Blood pressure  
Long  
Short  
Pulse  
If such an irregular rhythm is  
detected more than twice during  
measurement, the irregular  
Blood pressure  
heartbeat symbol (  
) appears on  
the symbol when the measurement  
results are displayed.  
What is Arrhythmia?  
A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals that cause the heart to  
contract.  
Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is abnormal due  
to flaws in the bio-electrical system that drives the heartbeat. Typical  
symptoms are skipped heartbeats, premature contraction, an  
abnormally rapid (tachycardia) or slow (bradycardia) pulse. This can  
be caused by heart disease, aging, physical predisposition, stress,  
lack of sleep, fatigue etc. Arrhythmia can only be diagnosed by a  
doctor through a special examination.  
Whether the appearance of the irregular heartbeat symbol (  
) in  
the results indicates arrhythmia or not can only be determined by an  
examination and diagnosis by your doctor.  
If the irregular heartbeat symbol (  
) is shown frequently, please  
make your doctor aware of it. Conducting self-diagnosis and  
treatment based on measurement results is dangerous. Be sure to  
follow the instructions of your doctor.

the memory for two people (user A and user B) every time a  
measurement is completed.  
The unit automatically stores up to 84 sets of measurement values  
(blood pressure and pulse rate) for each user (A and B). When 84 sets  
of measurement values are stored, the oldest record is deleted to save  
the most recent values. The unit also stores 8 weeks of morning  
averages and 8 weeks of evening averages for each user (A and B).  
Average Function  
The unit calculates the average reading based on the three most  
recent sets of measurement values taken within 10 minutes of the most  
recent reading.  
Note: If two sets of measurement values are stored in the memory for  
the 10 minutes period, the average is based on the two sets of  
measurement values. If one set of measurement values is  
stored, this is displayed as the average.  
To Display the Measurement Values  
1. Select your user ID (A or B).  
2. Press the MEMORY button (  
).  
The average value is shown and the average symbol ( )  
appears above the memory symbol ( ) on the display.

9. Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure  
What is Blood Pressure?  
Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing against the  
walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is constantly changing  
during the course of the heart's cycle.  
The highest pressure in the cycle is called the Systolic Blood Pressure;  
the lowest is the Diastolic Blood Pressure.  
Both pressure readings, the Systolic and Diastolic, are necessary to  
enable a doctor to evaluate the status of a patient's blood pressure.  
Why is it a Good Thing to Measure Blood Pressure at Home?  
Having your blood pressure measured by a doctor can cause anxiety  
which is itself a cause of high blood pressure. As a variety of conditions  
affect blood pressure, a single measurement may not be sufficient for  
an accurate diagnosis.  
Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of day, can  
influence your blood pressure. Thus it is best to try and measure your  
blood pressure at the same time each day, to get an accurate  
indication of any changes in blood pressure. Blood pressure is typically  
low in the morning and increases from afternoon to evening. It is lower  
in the summer and higher in the winter.  
Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg) and  
measurements are written with the systolic pressure before the  
diastolic e.g. A blood pressure written as 140/90, is referred to as  
140 over 90 mmHg.

Note: There is no universally accepted definition of hypotension.  
However, those having the systolic pressure below 100 mmHg  
are assumed as hypotensive.
