Note: 
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, 
which is inconvenient for the patient and may lead to an unsuccessful measurement.
