In the most basic sense, Blood Pressure Machine is a way of measuring how much force is being exerted on the walls of your blood vessels as blood flows through them. Systolic blood pressure (the upper number on the blood pressure monitor) is the highest pressure in blood vessels when the heart contracts/beats. Diastolic blood pressure (the lower number on the blood pressure monitor) is the lowest pressure in blood vessels in between heartbeats when the heart muscle relaxes.
Hypertension occurs when the systolic blood pressure is equal to/greater than 135 mmHg & the diastolic blood pressure is equal to/greater than 80 mmHg. If left uncontrolled, hypertension can cause heart attack, stroke, dementia, kidney failure, vision loss amongst the serious consequences.
Yes, it is quite normal for people’s blood pressure to change throughout the day & night, or in different settings where you may measure your blood pressure with bp monitor. Many things, such as stress levels, food or drink intake, activity levels, even time of day can all affect a person’s blood pressure reading at any given time. In fact, there are published studies that show a given person’s blood pressure can change by up to 20mm within a day, based on activity levels, food/drink intake, stress, etc. This is why it is important to take your Bp Monitor Machine on a regular basis, & review the overall trend of your blood pressure readings with your doctor. One should not be too concerned about one single measurement. It is important to take measurements every day at the same time & to know one’s own BP trend, as blood pressure continually changes throughout the day due to the daily fluctuation cycle & many other factors.
It is optimal to measure blood pressure within 1 hour after you get up in the morning & before you go to bed at night. If you measure your blood pressure in the morning, take the measurement within 1 hour after you get up; before having breakfast & after visiting the restroom, rest for 1-2 minutes & then take the measurement in a sitting position. If you measure your blood pressure at night, after resting for 1-2 minutes, take the Digital Bp Machine in a sitting position before you go to bed. It is recommended to take the measurement at the same time period every day.
Yes, you will see some differences. This is normal & can occur for many reasons. Some of the more common reasons are:
1. A person’s blood pressure varies throughout the day, so at any given moment your blood pressure can change.
2. In terms of the amount of change; there are published studies that show a given person’s blood pressure can change by up to 20 mm within a day, based on activity levels, food/drink intake, stress, etc.
3. You may have a condition known as “White Coat Hypertension.” This is a condition in which a blood person’s blood pressure rises above its usual level when Bp Monitor in a doctor’s office or clinical setting.
4. You may have a condition known as “Masked Hypertension.” This is a situation in which a person’s blood pressure falls below its usual level when it measure in a doctor’s office or clinical setting.
So do not be alarmed when you see differences between your readings at home compared to your readings in your doctor’s office. Discuss it with your doctor to get the best overall picture of your heart health.
Monitoring bp with Blood Pressure Machine at home has been found useful in helping to monitor the effects of hypertension drugs, as well as detecting masked hypertension & symptoms that are hard to be found otherwise. For these & other reasons, medical organizations around the world now stress the importance of home blood pressure monitoring.

All Omron blood pressure monitors are clinically proven accurate. They are clinically validated to be within the following: – Blood pressure: within +/- 3 mmHg or 2 percent – Pulse: within +/- 5 percent of reading This meets or exceeds the AAMI (Association of Medical Instrumentation) standards. To understand the accuracy levels of other manufacturer’s blood pressure monitors, you need to contact them. It is always important to investigate accuracy & ease of use before purchasing a home blood pressure monitor.
Digital Bp Machine measure blood pressure oscillometrically rather than by auscultation. In auscultation, stethoscopes are used to take blood pressure by listening for specific heartbeat sounds which the doctor then uses to determine systolic & diastolic pressures. Oscillometric technology measures the vibration of blood traveling through the arteries & converts the movement into digital readings.
Omron digital blood pressure machine use the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. An oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use.
It is also important to note that home Bp Monitor allows you to monitor frequently & share the results with your doctor if you desire.

Both readings are important. Systolic blood pressure measures your blood pressure during a heart contraction & the other measures blood pressure between heart contractions. Usually, more attention is given to systolic blood pressure, as it indicates a major risk factor for cardiovascular disease. For your particular situation, you should discuss both measurement results with your doctor.
1. Sit quietly for about 5 minutes with both feet flat on the floor.
2. Do not smoke, bathe, drink caffeinated drinks/alcohol or exercise 30 minutes before measurement
3. Measure at the same time every day
4. Take multiple readings & record the results using a diary or an app
The accuracy of Omron blood pressure machine has been carefully tested & is designed for a long service life. It is generally recommended to have the unit checked every two years to ensure correct functioning & accuracy. Please consult your local Omron representative for the check
