Important Safety Information
Read the Important Safety Information in this instruction manual before using
this monitor.
Follow this instruction manual thoroughly for your safety.
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.
• DO NOT use this monitor in oxygen rich environments or near flammable
gas.
• 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
and children.
Warning Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

• This product contains small parts that may cause a choking hazard if
swallowed by infants, toddlers and children.
Battery Handling and Usage
• Keep batteries out of the reach of infants, toddlers and 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.
• During measurement, make sure that no mobile device or any other
electrical device that emits electromagnetic fields is within 12 inches (30 cm)
of this monitor. This may result in incorrect operation of the monitor and/or
cause an inaccurate reading.
• 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.
• During measurement, observe the arm to ensure that the monitor is not
causing prolonged impairment to blood circulation.
• 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 or 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 on operating and
storage/transport temperature, refer to section 5.
• DO NOT use this monitor after the durable period has ended. Refer to
section 6.
• 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.
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.
