To allow other people to use this blood pressure monitor, make sure to transfer all of your readings to your OMRON connect US/CAN/EMEA app account so there are no unsent readings left in the blood pressure monitor memory. The person sharing this blood pressure monitor will need to create their own individual OMRON app account. Once the other person has their own OMRON connect US/CAN/EMEA account created, they can then take their own blood pressure measurement using this device, and then pair the blood pressure monitor and transfer their readings to their OMRON connect US/CAN/EMEA account.

If your phone is lost or stolen, follow these steps on your new phone,

  1. Re-install the OMRON connect US/CAN/EMEA app. Use the “forgot password” function and change your password.
  2. Re-pair your blood pressure monitor. Go to Profile -> Connected Devices screen. Unpair the monitor. Tap “Add new device” to continue pairing the monitor.
