Your new digital blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood’s 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.

The Elite 7300IT comes with the following components:

• Monitor • Standard Adult Cuff • Large Adult Cuff

• 4 “AAA” Alkaline Batteries

• Stylish Zipper Case • CD-ROM • USB Cable

• Instruction Manual printed in English and Spanish

• Cuff Guide • Software Installation Guide

• Warranty Card • Cuff Selection Guide The Omron

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using the Monitor

To assure the correct use of the product, basic safety measures should always be followed including the warnings and cautions listed in this instruction manual.

WARNING

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

SAFETY SYMBOLS USED IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL

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.

OPERATING THE DEVICE

Contact your physician for specific information about your blood pressure. Self-diagnosis and treatment using measured results may be dangerous. Follow the instructions of your physician or licensed healthcare provider.

The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.

If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of clean water. Contact a physician immediately.

Do not rely solely on the Medication Reminder function to take medicines throughout the day.

Read all of the information in the instruction manual and any other literature in the box before operating the unit.

SAFETY INFORMATION

OPERATING THE DEVICE (continued)

This device is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in the adult population. Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their intentions.

Operate the device only as intended. Do not use the device for any other purpose.

Dispose of the device, components and optional accessories according to applicable local regulations. Unlawful disposal may cause environmental pollution.

Do not use a cellular phone near the device. It may result in an operational failure.

Use only Omron authorized parts and accessories. Parts and accessories not approved for use with the device may damage the unit.

Use only 1.5V alkaline batteries with this device. Do not use other types of batteries. This may damage the unit.

Do not play the CD-ROM disc included with this monitor on general audio players, DVD players or personal game devices. It may damage the speaker of the device and may harm your hearing ability.

SAFETY INFORMATION

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Do not subject the monitor to strong shocks, such as dropping the unit on the floor.

Do not submerge the device or any of the components in water.

Store the device and the components in a clean, safe location.

Changes or modification not approved by Omron Healthcare will void the user warranty. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the unit or components.

SAFETY INFORMATION

BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT

To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:

1. Avoid eating, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising, and bathing 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 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 may 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 about the same time each day for consistency.

8. Wait 2-3 minutes between measurements. The wait time allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure measurement. You may need to increase the wait time depending on your individual physiological characteristics.
