INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON® BP710N Blood Pressure Monitor.
Your new blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood

essure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood movement

pr
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 blo
and pulse rate in adult patient population. The device detects the appearance of
irregular heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal with the
measurement result.

Please read this instruction manual th
Please keep for future reference. For specific information about your own
blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN.

(General Usage)

DO NOT adjust medication based on measurement
pressure monitor. Take medication as prescribed by your physician. Only a
physician is qualified to diagnose and treat High Blood Pressure.

The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.
Consult your physician before using the device for any of the following

conditions: common arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature
beats or atrial fibrillation, arterial sclerosis, poor perfusion, diabetes, age,
pregnancy, pre-eclampsia, renal diseases.
Note that PATIENT motion, trembling, shivering may affect the measurement
reading.

Do not use the device on the injured arm or the arm under medical
treatment.

Do not apply the arm cuff on the arm while being on an intravenous drip or
blood transfusion.

Consult your physician before using the device on the arm with an arterio­venous (A-V) shunt.

Do not use the device with other medical electrical (ME) equipment
simultaneously.

Do not use the device in the area the HF surgical equipment, MRI, or CT
scanner exists, or in the oxygen rich environment.

(General Usage)

Always consult your physician. Self-diagnosis of
self-treatment are dangerous.

Consult your physician before using the device for any of the following
conditions:

• If you have had a mastectomy.

• Do not take measurements more than necessary. It may cause bruising

• People with severe blood flow problems or blood disorders as cuff inflation

Remove the arm cuff if it does not start deflating during the measurement.
Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their

intentions.
Do not use the device for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.
Use only the approved arm cuff for this device. Use of other arm cuffs may

result in incorrect measurement results.
Do not use a mobile phone or other devices that emit electromagnetic fields,

near the device. This may result in incorrect operation of the device.
Do not disassemble the monitor or arm cuff. This may cause an inaccurate

reading.
Do not use in a location with moisture, or a location where water may splash

on the device. This may damage the device.
Do not use the device in a moving vehicle (car, airplane).

Use only 4 “AA” alkaline or manganese batteries with this device. Do not use

other types of batteries. Do not use new and used batteries together.
Remove the batteries if the device will not be used for three months or more.

General Precautions

• Do not forcibly crease the arm cuff or the air tube excessively.

• Do not press the air tube while taking a measurement.

• To unplug the air plug, pull on the air plug at the connection with the monitor
not the tube itself.

• Do not drop the monitor or subject device to strong shocks or

• Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.

With the increased number of electronic devices su

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
