Omron HEM-7120 - Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor Manual

Introduction

The OMRON HEM-7120 is a compact, fully automatic blood pressure monitor, operating on the oscillometric principle. It measures your blood pressure and pulse rate simply and quickly. For comfortable controlled inflation without the need of pressure pre-setting or re-inflation the device uses its advanced "IntelliSense" technology.

Intended Use
This product is designed to measure the blood pressure and pulse rate of people within the range of the designated arm cuff, following the instructions in this instruction manual.

It is mainly designed for general household use. Please read the Important Safety Information in this instruction manual before using the unit.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit.
Please keep for future reference.
For specific information about your own blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

Important Safety Information

Preparation

Installing/Replacing the Batteries

Using the Unit

Applying the Arm Cuff

Remove tight-fitting clothing or tight rolled up sleeve from your upper arm. Do not place the arm cuff over thick clothes.

1. Insert the air plug into the air jack securely.
   
   
2. Put your arm through the cuff loop.
   
   
   The bottom edge of the arm cuff should be 1 to 2 cm above the elbow. Marker (arrow under the air tube) is centred on the middle of your inner arm.
   
   
3. Close the fabric fastener FIRMLY.
   

Notes:

• When you take a measurement on the right arm, the air tube will be at the side of your elbow. Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube.
• The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm, and therefore also the measured blood pressure values can be different. OMRON recommends to always use the same arm for measurement. If the values between both arms differ substantially, please check with your doctor which arm to use for your measurement.

How to Sit Correctly

To take a measurement, you need to be relaxed and comfortably seated, under comfortable room temperature. No bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising or eating 30 minutes before taking a measurement.

Taking a Reading

Notes:

• To cancel a measurement, press the START/STOP button to release
• Remain still while taking a measurement.

This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.

• Your blood pressure monitor includes an irregular heartbeat feature. Irregular heartbeats can influence the results of the measurement. The irregular heartbeat algorithm automatically determines if the measurement is usable or needs to be repeated. If the measurement results are affected by irregular heartbeats but the result is valid, the result is shown together with the irregular heartbeat symbol (). If the irregular heartbeats cause the measurement to be invalid, no result is shown. If the irregular heartbeat symbol () is shown after you have taken a measurement, repeat the measurement. If the irregular heartbeat symbol () is shown frequently, please make your doctor aware of it.
  
• If you move during measurement, the movement error symbol () will appear on the display. Keep still and repeat the measurement.
  

Using the Memory Function

The monitor automatically stores the last measurement values (blood pressure and pulse rate).

To View the Readings Stored in Memory

1. Press and hold the START/STOP button for more than 5 seconds.
   The last measurement value is displayed along with the memory symbol.
   
   Notes:
   • If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside the standard range, the heartbeat symbol will blink when the measurement result is displayed.
   • The cuff wrapping guide result appears on the display with the measurement values.
   • If there are no measurements results stored in the memory, the screen to the right is displayed.
2. Press the START/STOP button to turn the monitor off.
   It will automatically turn off after 2 minutes.
   To Delete All Values Stored in Memory
   Press and hold the START/STOP button for more than 15 seconds.

Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC's and mobile (cellular) telephones, medical devices in use may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference from other devices. Electromagnetic interference may result in incorrect operation of the medical device and create a potentially unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) with the aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the EN60601-1-2:2007 standard has been implemented. This standard defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical devices.
This medical device manufactured by OMRON HEALTHCARE conforms to this EN60601-1-2:2007 standard for both immunity and emissions. Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:
