INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON® BP742N 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.

(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.

This device 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.

• 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). Read “If your systolic pressure is more than 210 mmHg” of this instruction

manual, if your systolic pressure is known to be more than 210 mmHg. Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising where the arm cuff is applied.
