Frequently asked questions
For most models, the warranty coverage for the arm or wrist cuff is one year. Cuffs will need to be periodically replaced throughout the life of the monitor. When purchasing a replacement cuff for an upper arm unit, please be certain to measure the circumference of your arm to purchase the correct cuff size. Please check the instruction manual for your specific unit. Electronic versions of the instruction manuals can be found in the Support section.
Yes, OMRON home blood pressure monitors are latex-free. This includes the monitor, the cuffs and the AC adapter (if included).
D-Ring Upper Arm Cuff
A D-ring cuff is a standard type of blood pressure cuff that you would usually see in your doctor's office. It is a cuff where the user loops one end of the cuff through a metal ring, then fastens it to the arm. D-ring cuffs come in different sizes of small, standard and large. It is important to pick out the right size cuff based on your individual arm circumference. Please see the questions in this OMRON FAQ regarding the different types of cuffs and how to measure your arm circumference.
Expandable ComFit Upper Arm Cuff
The OMRON ComFit Cuff is a pre-formed upper arm cuff that expands to fit both regular and large sized arms (upper arm circumferences between 9 and 17 inches). It is designed to ensure more comfortable, accurate readings.
Wrist Cuff
A wrist cuff is similar to an upper arm cuff; however you can wrap it around your wrist instead of your upper arm.
The correct size of cuff is based on the circumference of your upper arm, or your wrist, depending on which type of model you want. OMRON monitors cover a variety of sizes as mentioned below:
D-Ring Upper Arm Cuff Sizing
- Small adult cuff: fits upper arm with circumference between 7-9 inches
- Standard adult cuff: fits upper arm with circumference between 9-13 inches
- Large adult cuff: fits upper arm with circumference between 13 and 17 inches
ComFit Cuff Sizing
- ComFit cuff: fits upper arm with circumference between 9-17 inches

Yes, it is very important to use the appropriate size cuff for your arm in order to get accurate measurement results when using your home blood pressure monitor. If you use the wrong sized cuff, you will likely experience inaccurate readings, inconsistent readings and error messages from the device.
To get accurate readings, and to avoid error messages, it is very important that you are using the correct size cuff and it is correctly applied to your arm. Please see your specific instruction manual.
We recommend you apply the cuff using the following directions. First, make sure you have removed any tight-fitting clothing from your left arm. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of the cuff should be about one-half inch above your elbow. Turn your arm so your palm is facing up. Adjust the cuff around your arm so that the tubing runs down the center of your arm. Secure the cuff so it stays in place.
D-Ring Cuff
You should be able to fit one finger between the cuff and your arm. This space is imperative for an accurate reading because OMRON's digital blood pressure monitors use the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement that detects your blood's movement through your brachial artery and converts the movements into a digital reading.

The cuff should be wrapped tightly around the arm. If the cuff slips or easily turns, the cuff should be tightened. If the cuff is wrapped too loose or too tight, you may get an inaccurate reading of error message. For more detailed directions, please refer to the instruction manual for the specific model.View a short video on how to apply the OMRON ComFit cuff.To determine your arm size, use a cloth tape measure and place midway between your elbow and your shoulder around the circumference of your upper arm. Wrap the tape measure evenly around your arm. Do not pull the tape tight. Note the precise measurement in inches. Determine which size cuff is best for you, then purchase a home blood pressure monitor with that size cuff included. View a short video on selecting the right D-ring cuff.
