Doctors, physician assistants, nurses and other healthcare professionals recommend home blood pressure monitoring for various reasons, including the ability to:The cuff should be firmly secured but not too tight – just enough so that it is difficult to slide 2 fingers under the cuff. This space is imperative for an accurate reading. OMRON's digital Blood Pressure Monitors use the Oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement that detects your blood's movement through your brachial artery and converts this movement into a digital reading. The manual that accompanies the monitor is very good as it describes the features of the monitor but also specifies the best way to take blood-pressure readings – left arm preferred, cuff positioned on the upper arm about 2cm up from the elbow and on a level with the heart, pressure hose in line with the middle finger, etc. To determine your arm size, use a cloth tape measure and place the tape measure midway between your elbow and your shoulder around the circumference of your upper arm. Wrap the tape measure evenly around your arm. Do not pull the tape tight. Note the precise measurement in centimetres. Additionally, many factors can affect your blood pressure, including physical exertion, emotional fluctuations, medications and stress, so it is important to regularly monitor your blood pressure at home. When the cuff is assembled correctly, the Velcro hook material will be on the outside of the cuff loop and the metal ring will not touch your skin. If the cuff is open, pass the end of the cuff furthest from the tubing through the metal ring to form a loop. The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff loop.

There are are several reasons why you may have inconsistent readings. Many factors exist that can cause a variation in blood pressure measurement values, for example, recent activities or even the time of day can alter the reading. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your arm on a table with your palm facing upward. The cuff should be level with your heart. Do not talk or move during the measurement. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes and rest for 15 before starting the measurement. Avoid taking a measurement during stressful times. Take the measurement in a quiet place. Relax your arm and place your elbow on the table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. Turn the palm of your hand upward.

Pros and Cons It is important to ensure the arm cuff you are using with your monitor is the correct size for you. If the incorrect cuff is used the result may be an inaccurate reading and/or the cuff will be damaged (air bladder). A very useful feature of this instrument is that it can be used to measure and store details for two individuals: a slide switch is used to select user A or user B. A guest facility is also available which enables measurements to be made without being stored.The stored values can be uploaded to a PC for logging and recording purposes. Software is provided for uploading, displaying and analyzing data.The Omron M10-IT is a small upper-arm blood pressure monitor that works using the oscillometric system. This system uses an inflatable cuff that fits around the upper arm and which is pumped up using air until blood flow (as measured using a pressure sensor within the body of the monitor) is cut off. Pressure in the cuff is reduced until blood flow is sensed, then further reduced in stages until the measurements are complete. This enables pulse rate, systolic and diastolic pressures to be determined. These values are then displayed on the LCD. To power the Omron M10-IT, it requires four AA batteries. This makes it a portable device that can be taken on the go, ensuring blood pressure monitoring can be done anywhere. The device is constructed with durable materials, ensuring longevity and reliability. PRO – excellent innovative features – on the positive front, the machine is well made and is able to store over eighty readings each for two users
