Before using the unit
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON i-Q132 Intellisense SpotArm™
Type Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor.
The OMRON i-Q132 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 adjustable cuff angle corrects the body posture which tends to be
stooped. The elbow rest stabilizes the position and keeps the arm at
the most appropriate angle.
By simply placing the arm through the cuff, it automatically wraps
around your arm to the appropriate size and starts to measure your
blood pressure and pulse rate.
The monitor stores measurement results for two people and features
morning and evening averages.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using
the unit. For specific information about your own blood
pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

Battery Life & Replacement
If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display, replace all four
batteries at the same time.
- When the battery low symbol ( ) starts to blink, you will still be
able to use the unit for a short while. You should replace the
batteries with new ones ahead of time.
- When the symbol ( ) remains lit, the batteries are exhausted. You
should replace the batteries with new ones at once. Turn the unit off
before replacing the batteries.
• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or
more.
• If the batteries have been removed for more than 30 seconds, the

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 7.
• 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
EN
heartbeat symbol (

measurement, repeat the measurement. If the irregular
heartbeat symbol is shown frequently, please make your
doctor aware of it.

What is Irregular Heartbeat?
Normal Heartbeat
Irregular Heartbeat
An irregular heartbeat is a
heartbeat rhythm that varies

Pulse
If such an irregular rhythm is
Blood pressure
detected more than twice
during measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol (

)
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.
Warning:
If the irregular heartbeat symbol (
) is shown frequently,
please make your doctor aware of it. Conducting self-
diagnosis and treatment based on measurement results
are dangerous. Be sure to follow the instructions of your
doctor.

3.5 Using the Memory Function
The unit is designed to store the blood pressure and the pulse rate in
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.

7. 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.

This classification is based on the blood pressure values measured on
people in a sitting position in outpatient departments of hospitals.
Note: There is no universally accepted definition of
hypotension. However, those having the systolic
pressure below 100 mmHg are assumed as
hypotensive.
