Before using the unit
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON HEM-7080 Intellisense
Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor.
The OMRON HEM-7080 Intellisense is a fully automatic blood
pressure monitor, operating on the oscillometric principle. It
measures your blood pressure and pulse rate simply and
quickly. For comfortable controlled inflation without the need
for pressure pre-setting or re-inflation the device uses its
advanced “Intellisense” technology.
The monitor stores measurement results for two people and
features morning and evening averages. The auto mode
allows for three consecutive measurements with timed
intervals for an average reading.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before
using the unit. For specific information about your own
blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm.
Notes:
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place and you
should be in a relaxed, seated position. Make sure that
the room is not too hot or cold.
• Avoid eating, smoking, or exercising for at least 30
minutes before taking a measurement.
• Do not move or talk during measurement.
Correct
Posture Remove tight fitting clothing from
your upper arm, and any thick
clothing such as a sweater.
Do not place the cuff over thick clothes
and do not roll up your sleeve if it is too
tight.
Sit upright
with your
back straight. Place your arm on a table so

3. Using the Unit
Notes:
• Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get
accurate results.
• You should also try to measure your blood pressure at
the same time each day. (Within 1 hour after waking up
is recommended.)
Incorrect Posture
These situations could lead to higher blood pressure values due to strain or
the arm cuff being lower than the heart.
If the arm cuff is at a lower position than your heart use cushions etc., to adjust
the height of your arm.
•Arched back (leaning forwards)
•Sitting cross-legged
•Sitting on a sofa or at a low table
so that you tend to lean forward

3. Using the Unit
6. When the cuff is positioned
correctly, close the fabric
fastener FIRMLY.
Notes:
• Make certain the cuff fits snugly around your arm.
• The cuff should make good contact with your skin. You
should be able to fit your index finger between the cuff
and your arm easily, so you can pull the cuff off and on.
• Make sure that there are no kinks in the air tubing.
Taking measurements on the right arm
Please note the following
points when applying the
cuff to your right arm. Apply
the cuff so that the air tube is
at the side of your elbow.
Notes:
• Be careful notto rest your
arm on the air tube as it
will restrict the flow of air
to the cuff.
• Apply the arm cuff so that
no part of the cuff is
positionedovertheelbow
joint. The cuff should be 1 to 2 cm above the elbow.
• If used 2 times per day, the cuff will last for 3 years.
• The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and
the left arm, and therefore also the measured blood
pressure values can be different. Omron recommends to
always use the same arm for measurement. If the values
between the two arms differ substantially, please check
with your doctor which arm to use for your measurement.
