Introduction  
The OMRON MX3 Plus measures your blood pressure and pulse simply and quickly  
from the arm, without the use of an inflation bulb or stethoscope. The measurement  
values are stored in the memory of the OMRON MX3 Plus.  
The OMRON MX3 Plus includes a standard cuff for arm circumferences ranging from  
22-32 cm. Optional large cuffs (32-42 cm) can be applied.

9 General information about blood pressure  
Blood circulation  
Health and blood pressure  
The blood circulation is responsible for  
supplying the body with oxygen. Blood  
pressure is the pressure exerted on the  
arteries.  
The systolic blood pressure value (higher  
pressure or top value) represents the  
The incidence of hypertension increases  
with age. In addition, a lack of exercise,  
excess body fat and high levels of choles-  
terol (LDL), which sticks to the inside in  
blood vessels, reduces elasticity of these  
vessels. Hypertension accelerates arterial  
blood pressure produced by contraction of sclerosis which can lead to very serious  
the heart muscle.  
conditions such as stroke and myocardial  
infarction. For these reasons it is very  
important to know whether the blood  
pressure is within a healthy range. Blood  
pressure fluctuates from minute to minute,  
throughout the day. Therefore it is essential  
to take regular measurements to help you  
identify an average blood pressure.  
The diastolic blood pressure value (lower  
pressure or lower value) represents the  
blood pressure produced by relaxation of  
the heart muscle.  
Classification of blood pressure  
The World Health Organisation (WHO)  
and the International Society of  
Hypertension (ISH) developed the blood  
pressure classification. This classification  
is based on the blood pressure values  
measured while sitting on a chair in the  
outpatient department of a hospital.  
Symptoms of high blood pressure  
High blood pressure can go unnoticed for  
a long time, since it does not cause notice-

• Overweight  
• High cholesterol level

• Excessive alcohol consumption  
• Stress and emotional upset  
• Excessive consumption of salt  
• Lack of physical exercise  
• Genetic/hereditary predisposition  
• Underlying illnesses, such as kidney  
disorders or endocrine disturbance  
tension may cause your blood pressure to  
be higher than in familiar circumstances at  
home. This is known as “White Coat  
Hypertension”.  
Treatment of high blood pressure  
If your blood pressure reaches upper  
values of 140 - 160 mmHg and lower  
values of 90 - 95 mmHg in repeated  
measurements over several days, you  
should consult your doctor for detailed  
medical examination. You can assist the  
treatment prescribed by your doctor in the  
following ways:  
• Loose weight and lower your cholesterol  
level by reducing the calories and fat in  
your diet. Cut down on animal fats and  
eat more fruit and vegetables.  
• Reduce the consumption of alcohol.  
• Reduce the intake of salt: the German  
League for Combating High Blood  
Pressure recommends six grams of salt  
per day (i.e. one teaspoon) on average.  
• Stop smoking.  
Blood pressure measurement  
Measuring your blood pressure daily  
enables you to recognize high blood  
pressure at an early stage and obtain  
medical treatment.  
The oscillometric method of measurement  
determines your blood pressure by  
measuring the pressure fluctuations  
caused by the pulse waves.  
Since your blood pressure fluctuates  
within a day (see graphic next page), you  
should always measure it at the same  
time each day to ensure that the  
measurements are genuinely comparable. Take regular exercise.  
At the doctor’s surgery, nervousness and
