Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the Rite Aid RC212 Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure
Monitor. This blood pressure monitor is to be worn on your wrist. This monitor can
be used by multiple users.
This new blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure
measurement. When the cuff inflates, this monitor senses the pressure pulsations of
the artery underneath the cuff. The pulses are called oscillometric pulses. The
electronic pressure sensor displays a digital reading of blood pressure.

information about your own blood pressure, consult with your physician.
Intended Use
The device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and
pulse rate in adult patient population with wrist circumference ranging from 5.3
inches to 8.5 inches (13.5 cm to 21.5 cm). The device detects the appearance of

Warning Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
• DO NOT use this monitor on infants, toddlers, children or persons who
cannot express themselves.
• DO NOT adjust medication based on readings from this blood pressure
monitor. Take medication as prescribed by your physician. ONLY a
physician is qualified to diagnose and treat high blood pressure.

gas.
• Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have common
arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial
fibrillation; arterial sclerosis; poor perfusion; diabetes; pregnancy; pre-
eclampsia or renal disease. NOTE that any of these conditions in addition to

Important Safety Information
Battery Handling and Usage
• Keep batteries out of the reach of infants, toddlers or children.
Caution
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not
avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury to the user
or patient, or cause damage to the equipment or other
property.
• Stop using this monitor and consult with your physician if you experience
skin irritation or discomfort.
• Consult with your physician before using this monitor on a wrist where
intravascular access or therapy, or an arterio-venous (A-V) shunt, is present
because of temporary interference to blood flow which could result in
injury.
• Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have had a
mastectomy.
• Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have severe
blood flow problems or blood disorders as cuff inflation can cause bruising.
• DO NOT take measurements more often than necessary because bruising,
due to blood flow interference, may occur.
• ONLY inflate the wrist cuff when it is applied on your wrist.
• Remove the wrist cuff if it does not start deflating during a measurement.
• DO NOT use this monitor for any purpose other than measuring blood
pressure.
• During measurement, make sure that no mobile device or any other
electrical device that emits electromagnetic fields is within 12 inches (30
cm) of this monitor. This may result in incorrect operation of the monitor
and/or cause an inaccurate reading.
• DO NOT disassemble or attempt to repair this monitor or other components.
This may cause an inaccurate reading.
• DO NOT use in a location where there is moisture or a risk of water
splashing this monitor. This may damage this monitor.
• DO NOT use this monitor in a moving vehicle such as in a car.
• DO NOT drop or subject this monitor to strong shocks or vibrations.

Important Safety Information
• DO NOT use this monitor in places with high or low humidity or high or low
temperatures. Refer to section 8.
• Ensure this monitor is not impairing blood circulation by observing the
wrist while measurement is occurring.
• DO NOT use this monitor in high-use environments such as medical clinics
or physician offices.
• DO NOT use this monitor with other medical electrical (ME) equipment
simultaneously. This may result in incorrect operation of the monitor and/or

a measurement. Taking a measurement after an extreme temperature
change could lead to an inaccurate reading. OMRON recommends waiting
for approximately 2 hours for the monitor to warm up or cool down when
the monitor is used in an environment within the temperature specified as
operating conditions after it is stored either at the maximum or at the
minimum storage temperature. For additional information of operating and
storage/transport temperature, refer to section 8.
• DO NOT crease the wrist cuff excessively.
