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. An oscillometric monitor does not
need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use.
The HEM-712C comes with the following components:
•Monitor
•Standard Adult Arm Cuff 9''-13'' arm circumference
•Instruction Manual in English and Spanish
The HEM-712C IntelliSense®Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor
is intended for home use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT
To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:
1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing
for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Rest for at least
15 minutes before 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 left arm.
5. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm on
atable 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 does 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 the same time each day for consistency.
8. 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.

Set the monitor to the current date and time before taking a measurement
for the first time. If the correct date and time are not set, the measurement
values stored in the memory and the average value will not be correct.
The Blood Pressure Monitor automatically stores up to 30 measurement
values with the date and time. The monitor also calculates an average
reading based on the three most recent measurements taken within 10
minutes of the last reading.
NOTES:
•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.
