INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON®BP742CANN Blood Pressure Monitor.
Your new blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure
measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood 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.
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 the
measurement result.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the device.
Please keep for future reference. For specific information about your own blood
pressure, CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN.

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.
Movement Error Symbol ( )
The movement error symbol is displayed if you move your body during the
measurement. Please remove the arm cuff, and wait 2 - 3 minutes. 

1.2 Before Taking a Measurement
To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:
1. Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating 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-fitting clothing from your arm.
5. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your arm on a table so that the
arm cuff is at the same level as your heart.
6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7. 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.
