Important Safety Information
Important Safety Information
This symbol on the Omron M24/7 monitor is a warning that you
should read the accompanying documentation (this manual).
Warning:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
The ambulatory blood pressure monitor should not be used if
any of the following cases apply:
• patients without an indication for ambulatory blood pressure
monitoring
• non-cooperative patients
• patients in any way unable to operate a monitor as intended
• patients requiring urgent / emergency cardiac care
• unconscious or otherwise incapable patients
• patients with serious mobility impairments without supervision
• patients with coagulation disturbances
• children without supervision
• children under the age of 8 years
Though the blood pressure measurement algorithm used in the
OMRON M24/7 has been tested and found to function properly
on patients with atrial ꢁbrillation or other common arrhythmias,
the oscillometric blood pressure measurement method is
generally recommended for use only with special caution in
patients with arrhythmias, Parkinson’s disease, or other diseases
with tremor.
Always consult a physician for the interpretation of the blood
pressure measurements. Note that any blood pressure recording
may be affected by the body position, the physiological condition
of the patient, and other factors.
Take care to avoid blocking the air ꢀow in the tube of the cuff
and twisting the tube. Make sure the cuff and its tubing do not
cause strangulation or a circulation problem. Should the patient
experience arm numbness or pain remaining after any blood
pressure reading is completed, the cuff should be removed to
avoid permanent vascular or neural injury.

Recommended use of ambulatory blood pressure
monitoring
The European Society of Hypertension has published recommendations
for ambulatory blood pressure measurement (O’Brien, E. et al. on Behalf of
the European Society of Hypertension Working Group on Blood Pressure
Monitoring, European Society of Hypertension recommendations for
conventional, ambulatory and home blood pressure measurement, Journal of
Hypertension 2003, 21: 821-848).
Ambulatory blood pressure monitoring can beneꢁt patients with in many
situations.
Indications
• Suspected white-coat hypertension
• Suspected nocturnal hypertension
• To establish dipper status
• Resistant hypertension
• Elderly patient
• As a guide to antihypertensive drug treatment
• Type 1 diabetes
• Hypertension of pregnancy
• Evaluation of hypotension
• Autonomic failure
On the contrary, ambulatory blood pressure monitoring should be avoided in
several situations.
Contraindications
• Non-cooperative patients, unconscious or otherwise incapable patients
• Patients requiring urgent / emergency cardiac care
• Patients with coagulation disturbances
• Patients with serious mobility or other impairments without supervision
• Children without supervision; children younger than 8 years
• Though the blood pressure measurement algorithm used in the
OMRON M24/7 has been found to function properly on patients with
atrial ꢁbrillation or other common arrhythmias, the oscillometric blood
pressure measurement method is generally recommended for use only
with special caution in patients with arrhythmias, Parkinson’s disease, or
other diseases with tremors.

2. Operating Instructions
2.1. Working with the OMRON M24/7 Unit
The OMRON M24/7 device is a compact, lightweight monitoring unit typically
worn by the patient for 24 hours. The OMRON M24/7 operates with two AA
size batteries. The memory is capable of storing more than 600 measurements.
Stepwise pressure deꢀation ensures quality measurements, even if disturbing
environmental factors occur. You may ꢁnd the battery compartment and the rating
label on the backside housing. The serial number is placed on the rating label,
however it is also stored electronically in the solid state memory of the device. On
the front side of the housing, there is the LCD, the buttons of the device and the
name of the device. The device can be connected to the USB port of a PC with
an optoelectronic interface. The device has its socket positioned on the opposite
side from the cuff connector. Patients can start extra blood pressure readings or
mark symptomatic events.
2.2. Using the Buttons
On the front side of the housing, below the LCD, you may ꢁnd three buttons: the
START button is marked with a triangle, the EVENT button marked by a heart
and the DAY/NIGHT button indicated by a crescent moon. If the device is turned
on, then every button press is accompanied by a short beeping sound.
START
button
EVENT button
DAY/NIGHT
button
Cancel a blood pressure measurement
The patient can interrupt a blood pressure measurement by pressing a button at
any time while the cuff is inꢀated. This will result in immediate fast cuff deꢀation.
Such interruption is limited to the measurement in progress only and has no
effect on further operation. This function is available with all three buttons.
Use this function only if the cuff is hurting the patient’s arm.
Manual blood pressure measurement
If it seems necessary, the patient can start an additional, manual blood pressure
measurement by pressing the START button for less than 3 seconds. The result
with a manual measurement marker will be stored in the memory of the device.
Typical causes for this use: dizziness, palpitations (angina pectoris or headache).

Switching the device off
Press and hold the START button for more than 10 seconds then release it when
two horizontal segments appear on the LCD, this way the OMRON M24/7 will be
switched off. If you do not release the button in 2 seconds after the two horizontal
segments appeared, the monitor will return to normal operation. This feature helps
to avoid unintended power-off. The device can only be switched on manually.
While the monitor is switched off normal functions are not available, even
prescheduled measurements will not be triggered. Therefore, only in case
of a valid reason should the device be switched off.
Switching the device on
The OMRON M24/7 is switched on to normal operation if the START button is
pressed and held for more than 3 seconds. If the device is switched off, no other
functions are available.
LCD check
Press and hold the START button 3 to 5 seconds to light up all segments of the
LCD to check if they all work correctly.
Battery voltage check
Press and hold the START button for more than 5 seconds to display battery
voltage on the LCD (e.g. 2_37, equal to 2.37 V, see example). After checking
the voltage, please release the button, because after additional 5 seconds, the
device may turn off. The unit will then return to displaying time. The voltage for
fresh alkaline batteries should be over 3 V and for fully charged accumulators
over 2.5 V.
Set a patient event marker
The patient can mark any event without starting a manual blood pressure
measurement by pressing the EVENT button brieꢀy. A typical causes for this
use is taking medicine. The patient should be instructed to record the reason for
setting an event marker in a diary (see Patient’s Quick Guide and template for
patient diary at the end of this user manual).
Mark time of going to bed and rising from bed
If the DAY/NIGHT shift function is disabled during programming, the patient can
press the DAY/NIGHT button to mark the time of going to bed (in the evening)
and rising from bed (in the morning).
Manual DAY/NIGHT shift
If this function is enabled during the programming, then the patient can manually
shift the measurement frequency period (day or night) by pressing the DAY/NIGHT
button. The shift is available in the two hour period before the prescheduled shift.

The monitor must be programmed with the OMRON BP Tracker Software
installed on the computer (for details see Software Manual). Once the pre-
programmed time is reached, the monitor will start operating automatically and
perform blood pressure measurements based on the monitoring plan. To obtain
reliable BP readings, certain rules must be observed.
2.4. Rules of Monitoring
1. Inform the patient about the goal and expected results of the monitoring.
Provide an event/patient diary and rules to observe. The Patient’s Quick
Guide will help the patient to remember what has been discussed with you.
The Patient’s Quick Guide can be given to the patient. It also includes a
patient diary. This can be found at the end of this user manual, electronic
versions are available on the CD-ROM or DVD.
2. Patients can ꢁt the unit comfortably with the adjustable straps of the carry
pouch.
3. It is advisable to wear a thin shirt under the ABP cuff. This does not inꢀuence
the accuracy of blood pressure measurement, but it prevents problems
caused by long-time wear of the cuff (sweat, itching, soreness, etc.).
4. The cuff should be properly placed and connected.
5. Patientsshouldavoidexcessmovementduringbloodpressuremeasurements.
They should hold their arm loose, slightly away from their chest.
6. Should the blood pressure measurements cause blood shots, torpidity or
pain in the hand, the cuff should be removed from the arm immediately and
disconnected from the monitor. Such occurrence should be reported to the
physician as soon as possible or at the latest after the monitoring session.
7. Patients should not remove the monitor even at night. By loosening the straps,
they can avoid problems when turning in their sleep. The monitor does not
disturb most patients at night.
8. Patients may start extra blood pressure measurements with the START
button of the OMRON M24/7 monitor, marked with a triangle. They should
mark events such as taking medication with the EVENT button, marked with
a heart. They should also mark the time of going to bed and rising from bed,
with the DAY/NIGHT button marked with a crescent moon. They may interrupt
any single blood pressure measurement if necessary by pressing any button.
9. Should the batteries run down during a monitoring session, they can be simply
replaced. Monitoring will continue, and data will not be lost.
10. Patients should never measure anybody else’s blood pressure with an
OMRON M24/7 during an ambulatory blood pressure monitoring session.
2.5. Monitoring Step by Step
Before you begin, you must have the OMRON BP Tracker Software properly
installed and conꢁgured on your computer, and the monitor correctly connected
(for details see Software Manual). To program your monitor, you will need the
optical interface cable which is included in the set properly connected to your
computer’s USB port and the communication port (USB) correctly selected in
the OMRON BP Tracker Software.

2.6. Manual Programming
The OMRON M24/7 can be programmed with using its buttons, without using a
PC.
Programming Options
There are three different measurement plans which may be selected in case
of manual programming. These plans are stored in the device’s inside memory
and they cannot be changed. The ꢁrst plan which is also the default one in
the OMRON BP Tracker Software, measurements every 15 minutes during
daytime and 30 minutes during night. The second one provides less frequent
measurements with 20 and 40 minutes respectively. The third version is based on
30 minute measurement intervals, independent of the time of day.
Other settings are the same in case of all three plans: cuff size not set, pressure
limit 300 mmHg, enabled LCD display and disabled day/night shift. Daytime starts
at 6:00, night time starts at 22:00, special session is disabled. Measurement
period is exactly 24 hours.
Measurement Timing
The ꢁrst measurement has a controlling purpose and it starts in the second
minute after the programming, then in the next ꢁve minutes there are no
measurements. The rest of the measurements are taken at speciꢁc 15/20/30/40
minute intervals and there are measurements at the 6:00 and 22:00 hour shifts.
The last measurement is exactly 24 hours after the second measurement. Patient
information can be selected or added later in the OMRON BP Tracker Software.
Manual Programming Step by Step
1. Push the measurement (triangle) and the day/night shift (moon) buttons
simultaneously.
2. Keep them pushed, in 10 seconds the measurement options will be
displayed for 3 seconds each along with the measurement frequencies.
Then the clock will be displayed.
3. In order to choose the measurement plan, you must release the buttons
while that plan is displayed. You will hear two beeps and the LCD will display
four blinking “o” (oooo for four seconds). The process of programming
takes approximately four seconds, then you will hear ꢁve beeps. For
ꢁve seconds, the chosen plan will be displayed again for conꢁrmation. If
programming fails for some reason, the E90 error code will be displayed
on the LCD.
In case of manual programming there is no time setting, as the PC would be
responsible for time synchronizing. If the time setting is imprecise then the time
of measurements may be false. If you would like to use the manual programming
function then do not leave the device without batteries for a longer period. If
you do so then program the device with the PC once and then leave the batteries
in it, so the time can be set by the PC.

2.7. Batteries
The OMRON M24/7 ambulatory blood pressure monitor operates with two 1.5V
AA batteries or two 1.2V AA rechargeable batteries. Use only standard long-
life (alkaline) batteries, or standard NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries of the
proper size. Do not use lithium batteries. Do not mix different battery types, do not
mix new and old batteries. Never use batteries of low or unknown quality or pre-
used batteries, as they may not cover the power needs of the monitor, and they
may damage the monitor, as they may contain acidic electrolytes which may leak
and corrode electronic components. Never use batteries damaged in any way.
Should the batteries run down during a monitoring session, they can be replaced.
Monitoring will continue and data will not be lost. If you do not use the monitor, it is
advisable to remove batteries since they may run down due to the constant small
power consumption of the integrated circuits of the device. Data in the monitor
are not lost even if batteries run down or are removed. Used batteries may fall
under the category of hazardous waste and should be disposed of properly.
Important!Itisstronglyrecommendedtousefreshlychargedaccumulatorsornew
batteries with every patient so that batteries do not run down during monitoring,
even in case of very high blood pressure values and/or a long monitoring session.
After inserting batteries in M24/7monitors, it is advised to check their voltage
before programming the monitors. Do not start a new monitoring session with
low batteries. The typical voltage for two fully charged rechargeable batteries
should be over 2,5 V, and for fresh alkaline batteries, over 3 V. It is possible
to check battery voltage with the START button. (Please check the Using the
buttons section for more details.)
Important! If a monitor is not used for a long period, the in-built backup cell
ensuring the operation of the internal clock may get discharged. In this case keep
freshly charged batteries in the monitor for at least one day; this will recharge the
backup cell. It is possible to use the monitor afterwards. If the backup cell is not
properly charged, the internal clock may work incorrectly, and the monitor may
not start measurements in due time.
A set of new, high capacity batteries will enable the OMRON M24/7 monitor to
perform 250 blood pressure measurements during a 24-48 hours long monitoring
session. If you opt to use alkaline batteries, choose high capacity, long-life
products to enable reliable operation. A small crossed battery sign on the LCD
shows low battery voltage.

In order to change batteries, take the monitor out of the holder carry pouch and
remove the battery compartment cover on the back-side. Place two new, long-
life AA alkaline batteries or two properly charged, high capacity AA rechargeable
batteries into the compartment as shown in the polarity drawing. Close the
compartment.
2.8. Cuffs and their application
The OMRON M24/7 comes with 2 cuffs, normal and large adult size (see below).
The bladders are made of neoprene and are latex-free. It is advisable to wear a
thin shirt or blouse under the cuff. This does not inꢀuence the accuracy of blood
pressure measurements but it prevents possible problems caused by long-time
wear (sweating, itching, etc.). Place the cuff on the upper arm so that the
rubber tube points towards the patient’s shoulder and the bladder is placed
above the brachial artery, if possible. Contrary to the usual placement with
the tube pointing downwards, the advantage is that the patient can wear a loose
jacket over the cuff. Connect the rubber tube of the cuff into the air plug connector,
which you can ꢁnd on the long edge closer to the buttons of the OMRON M24/7
monitor. Connect the cuff turning it clockwise with slight pressure.
16
Download from Www.Somanuals.com. All Manuals Search And Download.
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,

3.2. Protection, cleaning and washing
OMRON M24/7 ambulatory blood pressure monitors are not specially protected
against spills or ingression of water or other liquids. Do not immerse the monitor
in water or any cleaning ꢀuid, and protect it from spills and splashes. Do not
expose it to heavy rain or steam, and do not wear it in a wet environment
e.g: shower, bath, or swimming pool. In case of the minor effects of a wet
environment, wipe off water drops with a dry cloth. Keep the monitor in a normal
dry room for at least one hour before use if condensation is suspected. In case
of ingress of water in the monitor, remove batteries from the unit, and refer
the unit to authorized service. Never place a monitor unit in a disinfecting or
sterilizing machine! Recommended cleaning method is to wipe the monitor with
a disinfectant cleaning tissue, e.g., Henkel Ecolab Incides, or a similar product.
Alternatively, wipe with a slightly damp cloth then dry it with an antistatic tissue.
Do not expose monitors to extreme heat or radiation, including long exposure to
direct strong sunlight.
To wash the cuff please do the following:
1. Remove the bladder.
2. Wash by hand the sleeve with lukewarm water and regular washing liquid
suitable for black material. Rinse well.
3. If required, wipe the bladder with a disinfectant cleaning tissue.
4. Allow both bladder and sleeve to air dry.
5. Replace bladder in the sleeve.

OMRON M24/7 monitors are covered by a two-year warranty. This warranty
does not cover any malfunction or defects arising from improper use, the use of
inadequate accessories, accident, theft, or use of the device outside operating
environmental speciꢁcations or intended measurement range. Removing the
closing label from the back side of the device voids this warranty. There are no
user serviceable parts inside the OMRON M24/7 monitors; they contain high
complexity electronic and ꢁne mechanical components. If you have any problems,
please refer the monitor to qualiꢁed service personnel. All consequences of
improper servicing are the sole responsibility of the user. Contact OMRON or
your distributor for service information.

Blood pressure measurements determined with the algorithm
of an OMRON M24/7 monitor on adults are equivalent to those
obtained by a trained observer using the cuff/stethoscope
auscultation method Korotkoff phase V, within the limits prescribed
by the American National Standard for Electronic or Automated
ꢀ
Sphygmomanometers. The algorithm used in the OMRON M24/7
also fulꢁls the requirements of the British Hypertension Society
Validation Protocol for Automated Blood Pressure Measuring
Devices.

4.2. Safety Concerns
Electric shock hazard protection
OMRON M24/7 monitors meet relevant shock hazard protection standards.
OMRON M24/7 monitors operate with two 1.5V AA batteries or two 1.2V AA
rechargeable batteries. This excludes all electric shock hazards, even in the
unlikely case of multiple device errors. Use only standard long-life (alkaline)
batteries, or standard NiCd or NiMH rechargeable batteries of the proper size.
Do not use lithium batteries. Do not mix different battery types, do not mix new
and old batteries, do not use damaged batteries.
Many personal computers do not meet certain shock hazard protection standards
or strict safety regulations applicable to medical devices. Therefore, during the
computer-based use of OMRON monitors, keep at least a 2 meter distance
between patient and computer. This is the required minimum safety distance.
OMRON M24/7 monitors communicate using a plastic optical cable, whose 4 m
standard length allows for the required safety distance. The plastic optical cable
ensures perfect electric separation and reduces the effects of external electric
noise. It does not conduct electricity.
Biocompatibility
To avoid infection risks, and for general hygienic reasons, the device, cuff and
tubing should never contact the patient’s skin directly.
Hazardous materials
Used batteries qualify as hazardous waste and should be disposed of properly.
OMRON monitors do not contain any materials qualiꢁed as pharmaceutical
substance or tissue of animal origin. They emit no material hazardous to humans.
Risk of incorrect diagnosis
The basic intended use of OMRON M24/7 monitors is to record blood pressure
and pulse rate values. Patients should be informed about rules of cooperative
behaviour; proper handling of the monitor used, and expected results of
monitoring in advance. OMRON M24/7 monitors only provide data to support
diagnostic decisions of a qualiꢁed physician; they do not automatically provide a
diagnosis of any kind. During the evaluation of recorded blood pressure values,
possible artefacts due to external disturbances, motion artefacts, and electrical
noise should be observed and handled with caution.
