INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON®BP710 IntelliSense®Automatic Blood
Pressure Monitor.
Your new digital blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood
pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood’s movement
through your brachial artery and converts the movements into a digital reading. An
oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use.
The BP710 comes with the following components:
•Monitor•StandardAdultArmCuff
•InstructionManualprintedinEnglishandSpanish•QuickStartGuide
The BP710 IntelliSense®AutomaticInationBloodPressureMonitorisintendedfor
home use.
Fill in for future reference.

OPERATING THE DEVICE
Contactyourphysicianforspecicinformationaboutyourbloodpressure.
Self-diagnosis and treatment using measured results may be dangerous. Follow the
instructions of your physician or licensed healthcare provider.
The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.

Read all of the information in the instruction manual and any other literature in the
box before operating the unit.
This device is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in the
adult population. Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express
their intentions.
Read the Special Conditions section of the instruction manual if your systolic
pressureisknowntobemorethan220mmHg.Inatingtoahigherpressurethan
necessary may result in bruising where the cuff is applied.
Operate the device only as intended. Do not use the device for any other purpose.

BEfORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT
To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:
1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing for 30 minutes
before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking the
measurement.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
3. Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
4. Removetight-ttingclothingfromyourleftarm.
5. Sitonachairwithyourfeetatontheoor.Restyourleftarmontablesothatthe
cuff is at the same level as your heart.
6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7. Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return
to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. You may need to
increase the wait time depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
8. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A
single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood
pressure. You need to take and record several readings over a period of time. Try to
measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.

The American Heart Association recommends the following guideline for upper limit
of normal for home blood pressure readings:
AHA Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP
Systolic Blood Pressure 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure 85 mmHg
This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends on age and morbidity.
The AHA recommends a lower home blood pressure goal for certain patients,
including diabetic patients, pregnant women, and patients with renal failure1.
WARNING
The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.
