INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON BP710NVA 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. 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.

Information for accompanying documents in the scope of IEC60601-1-2:2007

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 IEC60601-1-2 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.

Medical devices manufactured by OMRON Healthcare conform to this IEC60601-1-2:2007
standard for both immunity and emissions.

Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:

• The use of accessories and cables other than those specified by OMRON, with the exception
of cables sold by OMRON as replacement parts for internal components, may result in
increased emission or decreased immunity of the device.

• The medical devices should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment.
In case adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the medical device should be observed to
verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.

• Refer to further guidance below regarding the EMC environment in which the device should
be used.

• The MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT BPM needs special precautions regarding EMC
and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in
