Your new 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 BP760 comes with the following components:
• Monitor • ComFitTM Cuff • AC Adapter
• Instruction Manual printed in English and Spanish
• Quick Start Guide
The BP760 7 series Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor is intended for
home use.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit.
Please keep for future reference.
For specific information about your own blood pressure, CONSULT
YOUR DOCTOR.

SAFETY INFORMATION
INTENDED USE
This product is designed to measure the blood pressure and pulse rate
of people within the range of the designated arm cuff, following the
instructions in this instruction manual.
It is mainly designed for general household use. Please read the “Safety
Information” in this instruction manual before using the unit.
To assure the correct use of the product basic safety measures should

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.
OPERATING THE DEVICE
Contact your physician for specific 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.
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.

OPERATING THE DEVICE (continued)
The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.
If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty
of clean water. Contact a physician immediately.
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 (page 30) of the instruction
manual if your systolic pressure is known to be more than 220
mmHg. Inflating 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.
Dispose of the device, components and optional accessories
according to applicable local regulations. Unlawful disposal may
cause environmental pollution.

BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT
To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:
1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing
for 30 minutes prior to taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15
minutes prior to 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 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 may 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 about the same time each day for consistency.

display with the measurement values.
An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a
rhythm that varies by less than 25% from
the average rhythm 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.

DISPLAY SYMBOLS

Internationally recognized guidelines for upper limit of normal home
blood pressure readings are as follows:
Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP
Systolic Blood Pressure 135 mmHg

This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends on
age and morbidity. A lower home blood pressure goal may be
recommended for certain patients, including diabetic patients,
pregnant women, and patients with renal failure.
The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.
MORNING HYPERTENSION SYMBOL ( )
The Morning Hypertension Symbol is displayed if the morning average
reading for a week is above 135 for the Systolic Blood Pressure value
and/or 85 for the Diastolic Blood Pressure value when viewing the
Morning Averages and the Evening Averages in the memory.
OMRON HEALTHCARE recommends you contact your physician if
the MORNING HYPERTENSION SYMBOL appears on the display

Set the monitor to the current date and time before taking a measurement
for the first time. If the date and time are not set correctly, the
measurement values stored in the memory and the average values may
not be correct.
If the date and time are not set, “-:--” appears during or after
measurement.
The Blood Pressure Monitor automatically stores up to 60 measurement
values with the dates and times. The monitor also calculates weekly
averages for measurements in the morning and in the evening. Morning
and Evening averages are stored for this week and the last seven weeks.
The monitor can also calculate an average reading based on the three
most recent measurements taken within 10 minutes of the last reading.
NOTE: • If only two readings are stored in the memory for the
10-minute period, the average is based on the two readings.
• If one reading is stored in the memory for the 10-minute
period, this reading is displayed as the average.
