DATE PURCHASED: __________________
SERIAL NUMBER: ____________________
Your new digital 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. The monitor stores measurement
results for two people and features Morning and Evening Averages.
TruReadTM allows for three consecutive measurements with timed
intervals for an average reading.
The BP785 comes with the following components:
• Monitor • ComFitTM Cuff • AC Adapter
• Storage Case
• Instruction Manual printed in English and Spanish
• Quick Start Guide
The BP785 IntelliSense®Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor is intended
for home use.

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.
The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.

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.
SAFETY INFORMATION

OPERATING THE DEVICE (continued)
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 34) 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. 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.

IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT SYMBOL ( )
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 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.
Follow the directions of your doctor.
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 inflation.
USER ID SYMBOL (/)
The USER ID Symbol indicates USER A or USER B as selected by
the user to take a measurement or when using the memory function.

The American Heart Association1recommends the following guideline
for upper limit of normal for home blood pressure readings:
AHA Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP
Systolic Blood Pressure 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure 85 mmHg
This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends on
age and morbidity. The AHA recommends a lower home blood
pressure goal for certain patients, including diabetic patients,
pregnant women, and patients with renal failure1.
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 and/or the HEARTBEAT
SYMBOL appear on the display with your measurement values.

CAUTION
If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with
plenty of clean water. Contact a physician immediately.
NOTES: • Turn the unit off before replacing the batteries. If the
batteries are removed while the unit is still on, the date and
time will be reset to that of the previous use. However, the
measurement results are not deleted.
• When the batteries are replaced, you may need to reset the
date and time. If “-:--” appears on the display, refer to page
19, SETTING THE DATE/TIME AND TRUREADTM.

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 100 individual
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.
SETTING THE DATE/TIME AND TRUREAD TM

1. SETTING THE TRUREADTM MODE
1) Select your USER ID (A or B).
2) Press the SET button.
The TruReadTM symbol and the oFF setting appears
on the display.
3) Press the Up or Down button (
