Introduction
®
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON BP742N Blood Pressure Monitor.
Your new blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure
measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood 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.
Intended Use
This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and
pulse rate in adult patient population who can understand this instruction manual
with the arm circumference range printed on the arm cuff. The device detects the
appearance of irregular heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal
with the measurement result.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the device.
Please keep for future reference. For specific information about your own blood
pressure, CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN.
Important Safety Information
Warning: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.

2013 ESH/ESC Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension
Definitions of hypertension by office and home blood pressure levels
Office Home
Systolic Blood Pressure ≥ 140 mmHg ≥ 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure ≥ 90 mmHg ≥ 85 mmHg
These are from statistical values for blood pressure.
1.2 Before Taking a Measurement
To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:
1. Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating
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 arm.
5. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your arm on a table so
that the arm 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.
