How To How To Take A Measurement - Omron HEM-780 Instruction Manual

HOW TO TAKE A MEASUREMENT
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
a) All display symbols appear for approximately
one second.
b) When the monitor becomes ready to measure,
the Heart Symbol ( ) appears on the display.
2. Press the START button and remain still.
As the cuff begins to inflate, the monitor automatically determines
your ideal inflation level. Because this monitor detects the pulse
even during inflation, do not move your arm and remain still until
the entire measurement completes.
NOTE:
If you want to stop the inflation or measurement, press the
ON/OFF button. The monitor will stop inflating and start
deflating rapidly, and the monitor will turn off.
3. Inflation stops automatically and measurement is started.
As the cuff slowly deflates,
decreasing numbers appear on the
display and the Heart Symbol (
flashes at every heartbeat.
In rare circumstances, a higher
inflation may be necessary.
In those cases, the monitor reinflates the cuff up to 30 mmHg
higher than initial inflation and restarts the measurement.

HOW TO TAKE A MEASUREMENT
4. When the measurement is complete, the arm cuff
completely deflates and your blood pressure and
pulse rate are displayed.
NOTE:
The monitor automatically stores blood
pressure and pulse rate into the memory.
5. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the monitor off.
NOTE:
If you forget to turn the monitor off, it will automatically
shut itself off after five minutes.
Instructions for special conditions:
• If your systolic pressure is known to be more than
220 mmHg, press and hold the START button until
the monitor inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher than
your suspected systolic pressure.
NOTE:
Do not apply more pressure than necessary.
The monitor will not inflate above 280 mmHg.
NOTE:
Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure
measurement. Waiting between readings allows the
arteries to return to the condition prior to taking
the blood pressure measurement.
