Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OM RON EVOL V Automatic Upper Arm B lood
Pressure Mo nitor .
Y our new autom atic upper arm blood pressure monitor uses t he oscillometric
method of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your
blood movement through your brachial artery and converts the movements into a
digital reading. An oscillomet ric monitor does not need a stethoscope so the
monitor is sim ple to use.
Inte nded Use
This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood p ressure and
pulse rate in adult patient population. The device detects the ap pearance of
irregular heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal with
readings. It is mainly designed for general household use.

two or more times during the meas urement, the
irregular heartbeat symbol will appear on the
display with the measurement values.
An irregular heartbeat r hythm is defined as a
rhythm that is 25% less or 25% more than the
average rhythm detected while the monito r is
measuring the syst olic and diastolic blood
pressure.
If the irregular heartbeat symbol displays with your measurem ent results,
we recommend you consult your phy sician. Follow the directions of your
physician.
