INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON® BP742N 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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Warning: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.
(General Usage)
DO NOT adjust medication based on measurement results from this blood 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.
The air tube or the AC adapter cable may cause accidental strangulation in infants.
Contains small parts that may cause a choking hazard if swallowed by infants.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
Caution: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury to the user or patient or damage to the equipment or other property.
(General Usage)
Always consult your physician. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and 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 due to blood flow interference.
•People with severe blood flow problems or blood disorders as cuff inflation can cause bruising.
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
(AC Adapter (optional) Usage)
Do not use the AC adapter if the device or the power cord is damaged. Turn off the power and unplug the power cord immediately.
Plug the AC adapter into the appropriate voltage outlet. Do not use in a multi-outlet plug.
Never plug in or unplug the power cord from the electric outlet with wet hands.

When disconnecting the power plug from the outlet, do not pull the power cord. Be sure to pull from the power plug safely.
When handling the power cord, take care not to do the following:
Do not damage. |
Do not break it. |
Do not tamper with it. Do not forcibly bend or pull. |
|
Do not twist. |
Do not bundle during use. |
Do not pinch. |
Do not place under heavy objects. |
Wipe the dust off from the power plug.
Unplug monitor when not in use.
Disconnect the power plug before cleaning.
Use only an OMRON AC adapter designed for this device. Use of unsupported adapters may damage and/or may be hazardous to the device.
(Battery Usage)
Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.
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.

IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION
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 vibrations.
•Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.
•Do not use the device outside the specified environment. It may cause an inaccurate reading.
•Dispose of the device, components and optional accessories according to applicable local regulations. Unlawful disposal may cause environmental pollution.

Display symbols
Irregular Heartbeat Symbol (
)
When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the measurement, the irregular heartbeat symbol will appear on the display with the measurement values.
An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as a rhythm that is 25% less or 25% more than the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
Normal Heartbeat
Pulse

If the irregular heartbeat symbol displays with your measurement results, we recommend you consult your physician. Follow the directions of your physician.
Movement Error Symbol (
)
The movement error symbol is displayed if you move your body during the measurement. Please remove the arm cuff, and wait 2 - 3 minutes. Take another measurement, remain still during measurement.
Average Value Symbol (
)
The average value symbol is displayed when you press and hold the memory button for more than 3 seconds. The most recent average value appears on the display screen.

KNOW YOUR DEVICE
Before Taking a Measurement
To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:
1.Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating for 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Rest for at least 15 minutes before taking the measurement.
2.Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.
3.Measurements should be taken in a quiet place.
4.Remove tight-fitting clothing from your arm.
5.Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your arm on a table so that the arm cuff is at the same level as your heart.
6.Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7.Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several readings over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.
