INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Omron IntelliSense™ Automatic Blood
Pressure Monitor with Easy Wrap Cuff, HEM-773AC. Although
your blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day, no self-adjustment
is necessary as the monitor intelligently adjusts to your changing
conditions. The IntelliSense™ 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 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. At the press of a button, the monitor automatically fills
the cuff with air, starts deflation, then displays your systolic, diastolic,
and pulse readings on an extra large display panel.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using
this unit. For specific information on your own blood pressure,
CONTACT YOUR PHYSICIAN.
NOTE:
This device is a digital monitor intended for the use in measuring
blood pressure and pulse rate in adult population with the arm
circumference ranging from 9 inches to 17 inches (from 23 cm to 43 cm).
