•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 an arm 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 arm cuff when it is applied on your upper arm.

•Remove the arm 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.

•During measurement, observe the arm to ensure that the monitor is not causing prolonged impairment to blood circulation.

•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 cause an inaccurate reading.

•Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.

•Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.

•Remove tight-fitting or thick clothing from your arm while taking a measurement.

•Remain still and DO NOT talk while taking a measurement.

•ONLY use the arm cuff on persons whose arm circumference is within the specified range of the cuff.

•Ensure that this monitor has acclimated to room temperature before taking 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 on operating and storage/transport temperature, refer to section 10.

•DO NOT use this monitor after the durable period has ended. Refer to section 10.

•To unplug the air plug, pull on the plastic air plug at the base of the tube, not the tube itself.

•ONLY use the AC adapter, arm cuff, batteries and accessories specified for this monitor. Use of unsupported AC adapters, arm cuffs and batteries may damage and/or may be hazardous to this monitor.

•ONLY use the approved arm cuff for this monitor. Use of other arm cuffs may result in incorrect readings.

•Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising of the arm where the cuff is applied. NOTE: refer to “If your systolic pressure is more than 210 mmHg” in section 3 of this instruction manual for additional information.

Data Transmission

•DO NOT replace batteries or unplug the AC adapter while your readings are being transferred to your smart device. This may result in incorrect operation of this monitor and failure to transfer your blood pressure data.

Diastolic blood pressure reading

Date / Time display

Average value symbol

Flashes when viewing the average of the latest 2 or 3 readings taken within the most recent 10 minute timeframe.

Sync symbol

Flashes/appears when your data needs to be transferred because the stored memory is either almost, or completely full. Once you pair your monitor with your smart device, transfer your readings immediately before the monitor deletes the oldest reading.

Long

Irregular Heartbeat

Normal Heartbeat

High symbol

Appears if your systolic blood pressure is ≥ 130 mmHg or the diastolic blood pressure is ≥ 80 mmHg. Refer to subsection 1.4 for more information.

Irregular heartbeat symbol

Appears when irregular rhythm is detected 2 or more times during a measurement. The symbol with the number appears as below:

Irregular heartbeat is detected 2 times: Irregular heartbeat is detected 3 times or more:

An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is 25 % less or 25 % more than the average rhythm detected

while your monitor is measuring blood pressure.

Irregular heartbeat symbol may be displayed when the monitor detects arm movements. Refer to section 7 for more information.

If it continues to appear, we recommend you to consult with and follow the directions of your physician.
