The Omron Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor is an OTC, at home use, upper arm blood pressure monitor. The device consists of a monitor and an arm cuff designed to be used on the upper arm. It is battery powered and can optionally be connected to an AC adapter. The proposed device measures blood pressure (systolic [SYS] and diastolic [DIA]) and pulse rate (PR), detects the presence of irregular heartbeats, and can also detect the possible presence of AFib by analyzing pulse pressure wave data captured during the user's blood pressure measurement to identify episodes of AFib and provides a notification on the display screen to the user. Additionally, the Monitor may be used with the Omron Connect mobile application ("App"), an optional software-only accessory residing on a consumer smart device which connects to the device via Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) and transfers information on completed device recordings for storage and redisplay. When the measurement is complete, if atrial fibrillation has not been detected in the reading, and the time/date appear alternately. If atrial fibrillation is detected in the reading, the device displays the "Possible AFib" icon and furthermore, displays the characters "AF" in place of blood pressure readings. No blood pressure or pulse rate readings are displayed to the user
An electrically-powered device designed to noninvasively measure blood pressure using a self-contained software program that regulates automatic arm/wrist-cuff inflation and measurement cycles. It typically displays current heart rate and mean arterial pressure in addition to systolic and diastolic blood pressures; it may have memory to store blood pressure values and may sound an alarm if blood pressure exceeds pre-set limits. This device is designed to be portable (e.g., hand-held or carried in a pouch) and is often used for emergency services or home blood pressure monitoring.
