INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON®BP742N 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Warning: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
(General Usage)
DO NOT adjust medication based on measurement results from this blood
pressure monitor. Take medication as prescribed by your physician. Only a
physician is qualified to diagnose and treat High Blood Pressure.
This device is not intended to be a diagnostic device.
Consult your physician before using the device for any of the following
conditions: common arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature
beats or atrial fibrillation, arterial sclerosis, poor perfusion, diabetes, age,
pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, renal diseases.
Note that PATIENT motion, trembling, shivering may affect the measurement
reading.
Do not use the device on the injured arm or the arm under medical
treatment.
Do not apply the arm cuff on the arm while being on an intravenous drip or
blood transfusion.
Consult your physician before using the device on the arm with an arterio-
venous (A-V) shunt.
Do not use the device with other medical electrical (ME) equipment
simultaneously.
Do not use the device in the area the HF surgical equipment, MRI, or CT
scanner exists, or in the oxygen rich environment.
The air tube or the AC adapter cable may cause accidental strangulation in
infants.
Contains small parts that may cause a choking hazard if swallowed by
infants.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION

Caution: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury to the user or
patient or damage to the equipment or other property.
(General Usage)
Always consult your physician. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and 
self-treatment are dangerous.
Consult your physician before using the device for any of the following
conditions:
• If you have had a mastectomy.
• Do not take measurements more than necessary. It may cause bruising
due to blood flow interference.
• People with severe blood flow problems or blood disorders as cuff inflation
can cause bruising.
Remove the arm cuff if it does not start deflating during the measurement.
Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their
intentions.
Do not use the device for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.
Use only the approved arm cuff for this device. Use of other arm cuffs may
result in incorrect measurement results.
Do not use a mobile phone or other devices that emit electromagnetic fields,
near the device. This may result in incorrect operation of the device.
Do not disassemble the monitor or arm cuff. This may cause an inaccurate
reading.
Do not use in a location with moisture, or a location where water may splash
on the device. This may damage the device.
Do not use the device in a moving vehicle (car, airplane).
Read “If your systolic pressure is more than 210 mmHg” of this instruction
manual, if your systolic pressure is known to be more than 210 mmHg.
Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising where
the arm cuff is applied.

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. 
Take another measurement, remain still during measurement.
Average Value Symbol ( )
The average value symbol is displayed when you press and hold the memory
button for more than 3 seconds. The most recent average value appears on the
display screen.
