INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Omron HEM-757 IntelliSenseTM
Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor. Although your blood pressure
fluctuates
throughout the day, no self-adjustment is necessary as the monitor
intelligently adjusts to your changing conditions. The IntelliSenseTM
monitor uses fuzzy logic intelligence to sense both your systolic
and diastolic blood pressure values, and the result is personalized
inflation with every reading. Arm discomfort and misreading due to
improper cuff inflation are virtually eliminated.
Your new OMRON monitoruses 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. At the push of a button, the
monitor automatically fills the cuff with air and displays your
systolic, diastolic, and pulse measurements on an extra large
display panel.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using
the Omron IntelliSenseTM Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor.
For specific information on your own blood pressure,

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE
1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes
before taking a measurement.
2. Put your left arm through the cuff loop making sure that the
bottom edge of the cuff is approximately one-half inch above the
elbow.
3. Pull the end of the cuff so that the entire cuff is evenly tightened
around your arm and press the sewn hook material firmly against
the pile side of the cuff. Make sure that your skin will not be
pinched in the D-ring once you inflate the cuff bladder.
Immediately deflate the cuff bladder and readjust the cuff if
skin becomes pinched.
4. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your left
arm on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.
5. Press the ON/OFF button.
6. After the Heart Symbol ( ) appears next to a zero on the digital
panel, press the START button.
7. Remain still throughout the entire reading.
8. When measurement is complete, the monitor alternately displays
your blood pressure and pulse on the digital panel and
automatically deflates the cuff.
9. Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure
measurement. You may require more rest time between readings
depending on your individual physiological characteristics.

BATTERY INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT
1. Slide the battery cover off in
the direction of the arrow.
2. Install or replace 4 "AA" size
batteries so + (positive) and
– (negative) polarities match
the polarities of the battery
compartment as indicated.
3. Replace the battery cover.
4. If the Low Battery Indicator
( ) appears on the display,
replace all four batteries.
Long-life alkaline batteries
are recommended.
5. Remove the batteries if the
monitor will not be used for
an extended period of time.

SUGGESTIONS BEFORE BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT
1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes
before taking a measurement. Also rest for at least 5 minutes
before taking a reading.
2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during
stressful times.
3. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left upper arm.
4. Measurement should be taken
in a quiet place and you
should be in a relaxed, seated
position. Rest your left arm on
the arm of a chair or on a table
so that the cuff is at the same
level as your heart.
5. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
6. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse measurements
for your doctor. Remember, a single measurement does not
provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You
need to take and record several measurements over a period of
time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each
day for consistency. Blood pressure measurements fluctuate
considerably.
7. Wait 2-3 minutes between successive measurements. Waiting
allows the engorged blood vessels to return to normal. You may
require more rest time between readings depending on your
individual physiological characteristics.

HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF
1. Insert the air plug of the arm cuff
into the air jack of the monitor.
2. The cuff should be assembled
correctly when it is removed from
the box. If it is not, pass the end
of the cuff furthest from the
tubing through the metal D-ring
to form a loop. The smooth cloth
should be on the inside of the
cuff loop.
3. If the cuff is assembled correctly,
the sewn hook material material
will be on the outside of the cuff
loop and the metal D-ring will not
touch your skin.
4. Put your left arm through
the cuff loop. The bottom
of the cuff should be
approximately 1/2"
above the elbow. The
cuff tubing should be
positioned along the
middle of the inside of
your arm as shown.
5. Pull the cuff so that the top and
bottom edges are tightened
evenly around your arm.

HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF
(Left arm)
6. When the cuff is positioned
correctly, press the sewn
hook material FIRMLY
against the pile side of the
cuff.
7. The cuff should be
wrapped so that it fits
snugly and stays in place.
You should be able to fit
one finger between the cuff
and your arm.
8. Sit in a chair with your feet
flat on the floor and rest
your arm on a table so that
the cuff is at the same level
as your heart.
9. Relax your arm and turn
your palm upward.
10. Be sure there are no kinks
in the air tubing.

HOW TO TAKE A READING
Please read "A Few Suggestions Before Blood Pressure Measurement" and
"HowTo Apply The Arm Cuff" before taking a reading.
Ready to Measure
Deflation Indication
Initial LCD Test
Inflation started.
START
1. Press the ON/OFF Button.
a) All display symbols appear for
approximately one second. This
is the initial LCD test.
b) The display symbols disappear
and the Deflation Indication
Symbol ( ) starts to flash.
c) When the monitor completes the
necessary preparations before
measurement, the Heart Symbol
( ) appears next to a zero.
NOTE:Wait for the Heart Symbol ( )
before taking a measurement.
2. Press the START button. As the
cuff begins to inflate, the
IntelliSense™ monitor
automatically determines your
ideal inflation level. During this
process, the IntelliSense™
symbol ( ) will be flashing on
the display. Because this monitor
detects the pulse even during
inflation, do not move your arm
and remain still during the
measurement.
Display of measurement process
A mark indicates the
measurement process.
When the Start Button is pushed,
a mark flushes.
