Thank you for purchasing the 
OMRON BP4350 Wrist Blood 
Pressure Monitor. This blood pressure monitor is to be worn on your 
wrist.
This new blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of 
blood pressure measurement. When the cuff inflates, this monitor 
senses the pressure pulsations of the artery underneath the cuff. 
The pulses are called oscillometric pulses. The electronic pressure 
sensor displays a digital reading of blood pressure.

Blood Pressure Measurement Tips
To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:
• Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during 
stressful times.
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
• It is important to take measurements at same times each day. 
Taking measurements in the morning and in the evening is 
recommended.
• Remember to have a record of your blood pressure and pulse 
readings for your physician. A single measurement does not 
provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You 
need to take and record several readings over a period of time.
Caution
• Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising 
and eating for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.
2.4
Applying the Wrist Cuff
Note
• Following steps are for applying the wrist cuff to your left wrist. 
When you take a measurement on the right wrist, apply the wrist 
cuff using the same steps as on the left wrist.
• The blood pressure can differ between the right wrist and the left 
wrist, and the measured blood pressure values can be different. 
OMRON recommends to always use the same wrist for 
measurement. If the values between both wrists differ 
substantially, please check with your physician as to which wrist to 
use for your measurements.
Caution
• Remove tight-fitting, thick clothing and any accessories from your 
wrist while taking a measurement.
1.
Apply the wrist cuff to your left 
wrist.
Roll up sleeve. Make sure your 
sleeve is not rolled up too tightly on 
your arm. This may constrict the flow 
of blood in your arm.
2.
Put your wrist through the cuff loop.
Your palm and monitor display should both 
face upward.
3.
Position the wrist cuff leaving a 
clearance of 0.5 inch (1 to 2 cm) 
between the cuff and the bottom 
of your palm.
4.
Wrap the wrist cuff firmly around your wrist. Do not apply 
over clothing.
Check to make sure that there is no gap between your wrist 
and the cuff.
Note
• Make sure your wrist cuff does not 
cover the protruding part of the wrist 
bone on the outside of your wrist.
• If the wrist cuff comes 
out of the metal ring, 
slide it back through as 
shown in the figure to 
the right.

Sitting Correctly
To take a measurement, you need 
to be relaxed and comfortably 
seated in a room with a 
comfortable temperature. Place 
your elbow on the table to support 
your arm.
• Sit in a chair with your legs 
uncrossed and your feet flat on 
the floor.
• Sit with your back and arm 
being supported.
• The distance from the top of 
your seat measuring to the top 
of the table you are sitting at, 
should be 12 plus or minus 2 inches (30 ± 5 cm). If the distance 
measured between the top of your seat and table do not fall within 
this parameter, correct your seat or table height.
If you are unable to make any seat or table adjustments, please 
turn off the heart zone indicator and position your wrist at heart 
level by yourself. Refer to section 6.1.
• Your monitor must be approximately the same level as your heart. 
If the monitor is too high above your heart, your blood pressure will 
be artificially low. If the monitor is too low below your heart, your 
blood pressure will be artificially high.
• Relax your wrist and hand. Do not bend your wrist back, clench 
your fist, or bend your wrist forward.
2.6
Selecting a User ID
Your monitor is designed to take measurements and store the 
readings in the memory for 2 people using the [user ID selection] 
switch.
1.
Select your user ID (1 or 2).
3.1
Taking a Measurement
You can use your monitor without pairing to a smart device. To pair 
your monitor with a smart device, refer to section 4.1.
Note
• To stop the measurement, press the [
START/STOP] button once 
to deflate the wrist cuff.
Caution
• DO NOT use this monitor with other medical electrical (ME) 
equipment simultaneously. This may result in incorrect operation 
of the monitor and/or cause an inaccurate reading.
• Remain still and DO NOT talk while taking a measurement.
1.
Press the [
START/STOP] button.
All symbols appear on the display before starting the 
measurement.
2.
Check the Heart Zone Indicator.
Your monitor has a built-in heart zone indicator that is used as 
an aid in determining if the monitor is at the correct height. It 
has been designed to work with most people so that when your 
wrist is at the correct position relative to your heart, the “ 
 ” 
symbol will light in blue. When your wrist is higher or lower 
position relative to your heart, a locator bar will appear 
according to the wrist position. Due to difference in individual 
size and physique, this feature may not be helpful in all cases 
and you may wish to disable this feature. If you feel the position 
of the wrist according to heart zone indicator's guidance does 
NOT match your heart level, disable this feature and follow 
your judgement. To disable it, refer to section 
6.1.
Note
• After 5 seconds from pressing the [
START/STOP] button, 
even if your monitor is not positioned properly, your monitor 
will start the measurement and the wrist cuff will start to 
inflate.
