How to Recalibrate an Omron Blood Pressure Monitor

Hypertension (or high blood pressure) can cause a variety of health problems, including heart and kidney disease. Hypertension can also be a sign of several health conditions, such as diabetes. Whether done at home or in a medical environment, blood pressure monitoring is important in diagnosing and managing health. To monitor blood pressure effectively, your Omron blood pressure monitor must be properly calibrated by the Omron service center 2.

Is This an Emergency?

If you are experiencing serious medical symptoms, seek emergency treatment immediately.

Determine whether it is time to recalibrate your Omron blood pressure monitor, which depends on how often you use your Omron monitor 2. Those that are used up to five times a day should be calibrated annually. For less use, every 3 to 5 years is recommended.
