Introduction  
The OMRON MX2 Basic measures your blood pressure and pulse simply and quickly  
from the arm, without the use of an inflation bulb or stethoscope.  
The OMRON MX2 Basic includes a standard cuff for arm circumferences ranging from  
22-32 cm. Optional large cuffs (32-42 cm) can be applied.

1 How to obtain meaningful blood pressure readings  
General  
• Avoid eating, drinking (alcohol),  
• The OMRON MX2 Basic is not suitable  
for measuring the frequency of cardiac  
pacemakers.  
• Consult your doctor during pregnancy,  
arrhythmia and arteriosclerosis as this  
can influence the measurement.  
smoking, sport and taking a bath before  
measurement.  
• Be calm and relaxed before and during  
measurement.  
You should never change the dose of  
medicines prescribed by your doctor.  
 
1
MX2 Basic English  
• Store the OMRON MX2 Basic in a dry,  
closed place with a temperature  
between -20°C and 60°C.  
Caution  
• Operating temperature between 10°C  
and 40°C.  
• Remove the batteries if you not intend  
to use the OMRON MX2 Basic for 3  
months or more.  
• Operating environment must be free  
from excessive vibrations, shocks,  
magnetic fields, electrical noise, etc.  
• Stay out of sunlight during measuring.  
• Keep portable phones 5 meters away  
during measurement.  
• Do not wrap the cuff around any object  
other than your arm.  
• Do not fold the cuff and the tube.  
• Do not drop the OMRON MX2 Basic.  
Tips for use  
• Check your blood pressure at least twice  
a day (before breakfast, after work).  
• Do not measure your blood pressure  
while you are in a vehicle.  
• Always measure on the same arm.  
• Wrap the cuff around your arm before  
start of measurement.

Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)  
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC.s and mobile (cellular) telephones,  
medical devices in use may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference from other devices.  
Electromagnetic interference may result in incorrect operation of the medical device and create a  
potentially unsafe situation.  
Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.  
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) with the aim to  
prevent unsafe product situations, the EN60601-1-2 standard has been implemented. This  
standard defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum  
levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical devices.  
This medical device manufactured by OMRON Healthcare conforms to this EN60601-1-2:2001  
standard for both immunity and emissions.  
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:  
• Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices, which generate strong electrical or  
electromagnetic fields, near the medical device. This may result in incorrect operation of the unit  
and create a potentially unsafe situation. Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of  
7 m. Verify correct operation of the device in case the distance is shorter.  
Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2001 is available at OMRON Healthcare  
Europe at the address mentioned in this instruction manual.

8 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-  
able symptoms. The following are all  
possible causes of abnormally high blood  
pressure:

• 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
