Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON BP7100 Blood Pressure Monitor. This new
blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure
measurement. This means this monitor detects your blood movement through your
brachial artery and converts the movements into a digital reading.
Safety Instructions
This instruction manual provides you with important information about the OMRON
BP7100 Blood Pressure Monitor. To ensure the safe and proper use of this monitor,
READ and UNDERSTAND all of these instructions. If you do not understand
these instructions or have any questions, contact 1-800-634-4350 before
attempting to use this monitor. For specific information about your own blood
pressure, consult with your physician.
Intended Use
This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and
pulse rate in adult patient population. The device detects the appearance of
irregular heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal with readings.
Environments of Use: Home
Patient Population: Adult
Receiving and Inspection
Remove this monitor from the packaging and inspect for damage. If this monitor is
damaged, DO NOT USE and contact 1-800-634-4350.

Important Safety Information
Please read the Important Safety Information in this instruction manual before
using this monitor.
Please follow this instruction manual thoroughly for your safety.
Please keep for future reference. For specific information about your own blood
pressure, CONSULT WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN.
• DO NOT use this monitor on infants, toddlers, children or persons who
cannot express themselves.
• DO NOT adjust medication based on readings from this blood pressure
monitor. Take medication as prescribed by your physician. ONLY a physician
is qualified to diagnose and treat high blood pressure.
• DO NOT use this monitor on an injured arm or an arm under medical
treatment.
• DO NOT apply the arm cuff on your arm while on an intravenous drip or
blood transfusion.
• DO NOT use this monitor in areas containing high frequency (HF) surgical
equipment, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) equipment, computerized
tomography (CT) scanners or in oxygen rich environments. This may result
in incorrect operation of the monitor and/or cause an inaccurate reading.
• Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have common
arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation;
arterial sclerosis; poor perfusion; diabetes; pregnancy; pre-eclampsia or
renal disease. NOTE that any of these conditions in addition to patient
motion, trembling, or shivering may affect the measurement reading.
• NEVER diagnose or treat yourself based on your readings. ALWAYS consult
with your physician.
• To help avoid strangulation, keep the air tube away from infants, toddlers or
children.
• This product contains small parts that may cause a choking hazard if
swallowed by infants, toddlers or children.
Warning Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Battery Handling and Usage
• Keep batteries out of the reach of infants, toddlers or children.
• Stop using this monitor and consult with your physician if you experience
skin irritation or discomfort.
• Consult with your physician before using this monitor on an arm where
intravascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (A-V) shunt, is present
because of temporary interference to blood flow which could result in injury.
• Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have had a
mastectomy.
• Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have severe
blood flow problems or blood disorders as cuff inflation can cause bruising.
• DO NOT take measurements more often than necessary because bruising,
due to blood flow interference, may occur.
• ONLY inflate the arm cuff when it is applied on your upper arm.
• Remove the arm cuff if it does not start deflating during a measurement.
• DO NOT use this monitor for any purpose other than measuring blood
pressure.
• Do not use a mobile phone or other devices that emit electromagnetic fields,
near the monitor. This may result in incorrect operation of the monitor.
• DO NOT disassemble or attempt to repair this monitor or other components.
This may cause an inaccurate reading.
• DO NOT use in a location where there is moisture or a risk of water
splashing this monitor. This may damage this monitor.
• DO NOT use this monitor in a moving vehicle such as in a car.
• DO NOT drop or subject this monitor to strong shocks or vibrations.
• DO NOT use this monitor in places with high or low humidity or high or low
temperatures. Refer to section 5.
• Ensure this monitor is not impairing blood circulation by observing the arm
while measurement is occurring.
Caution
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury to the user
or patient, or cause damage to the equipment or other
property.

6
• DO NOT use this monitor in high-use environments such as medical clinics
or physician offices.
• 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.
• 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.
• Remove tight-fitting, thick clothing from your arm while taking a
measurement.
• Remain still and DO NOT talk while taking a measurement.
• ONLY use the arm cuff on persons whose arm circumference is within the
specified range of the cuff.
• Ensure that this monitor has acclimated to room temperature before taking a
measurement. Taking a measurement after an extreme temperature change
could lead to an inaccurate reading. OMRON recommends waiting for
approximately 2 hours for the monitor to warm up or cool down when the
monitor is used in an environment within the temperature specified as
operating conditions after it is stored either at the maximum or at the
minimum storage temperature. For additional information of operating and
storage/transport temperature, refer to section 5.
• DO NOT crease the arm cuff or the air tube excessively.
• DO NOT fold or kink the air tube while taking a measurement. This may
cause an injury by interrupting air flow.
• To unplug the air plug, pull on the plastic air plug at the base of the tube, not
the tube itself.
• ONLY use the arm cuff, batteries and accessories specified for this monitor.
Use of unsupported arm cuffs and batteries may damage and/or may be
hazardous to this monitor.
• ONLY use the approved arm cuff for this monitor. Use of other arm cuffs may
result in incorrect readings.
• Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising of the
arm where the cuff is applied. NOTE: please refer to “If your systolic
pressure is more than 210 mmHg” in section 3 of this instruction manual for
additional information.
• Read and follow the “Important information regarding Electromagnetic
Compatibility (EMC)” in section 9 of this manual.

Battery Handling and Usage
• DO NOT insert batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.
• ONLY use 4 “AA” alkaline or manganese batteries with this monitor. DO NOT
use other types of batteries. DO NOT use new and used batteries together.
• Remove batteries if this monitor will not be used for a long period of time.
• If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of
clean water. Consult with your physician immediately.
• If battery fluid should get on your skin, wash your skin immediately with
plenty of clean, lukewarm water. If irritation, injury or pain persists, consult
with your physician.
• DO NOT use batteries after their expiration date.
• Periodically check batteries to ensure they are in good working condition.

1.1 Display symbols
Irregular Heartbeat Symbol ( )
When the monitor detects an irregular
rhythm two or more times during the
measurement, the irregular heartbeat
symbol will appear on the display with
the measurement values. An irregular
heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm
that is 25% less or 25% more than the
average rhythm detected while the
monitor is measuring the systolic and
diastolic blood pressure.
If the irregular heartbeat symbol displays with your measurement results, we
recommend you consult your physician. Follow the directions of your
physician.
