Introduction
Your OMRON HCG-801 is an easy-to-use electrocardiograph unit that can record and store
electrocardiogram (ECG) measurements of your heart rhythm. Each ECG reading records
about 30-second measurement and these ECG readings can help your doctor monitor your
condition. It also includes guidance screens to help you obtain good results when taking
measurements.
The monitor is supplied with an SD memory card that can store up to 300 measurements,
which include the ECG data along with the date and time of measurement. Storing ECG data
on the SD memory card, or in unit memory, allows you or your doctor to view them later.
Intended Use
Medical Purpose The device is used for recording electrocardiographic
waveform when patient feels symptoms of arrhythmia.
Intended User Self-recording by patient
Patient Population It is not intended to use for infants weighing less than 10 kg.
Environment The device can be used anytime except in the cases
stated in the sections of warnings and cautions in the
instruction manual.
Measurement Parameter Electrocardiograph (ECG)
Precautions for use Warnings and cautions described in the instruction manual
should be observed.
Important: Please note that while the measurements from an ECG monitor are a
useful guide for your doctor, they cannot detect all changes in heart
conditions. Always consult your doctor if you notice any change in
your condition, regardless of the measurement results. Consult a
doctor even if “Stable waveform.” is displayed as the measurement
result, if you have been diagnosed with a heart condition.
* The illustrations used in this manual may differ slightly from the appearance of the actual product.

Notes on Safety
This unit is designed for monitoring the ECG waveform. Never use the unit
to monitor vital signs and acute events.
- Self-diagnosis and treatment is dangerous.
The measurement results are for monitoring purposes only, and should never be
used as a basis for starting or modifying treatment without independent
confirmation by medical examination.
- The values displayed by the unit are the values at the time of measurement.
Medical conditions can change suddenly. If you notice any change in your
condition, consult your doctor, regardless of the measurement results.
- This unit has no function to detect pacing spikes.
For a person with a cardiac pacemaker, there are cases where pacing spikes are
recorded or not recorded.
Warning!
• Do not use the unit in intensive care units or operating rooms.
• When using this unit in hospitals or other medical facilities, use the unit under the
supervision of your doctor.
This unit may affect the other medical devices, and vice versa.
• Do not use with a defibrillator.
• Do not use in the presence of flammable anesthetics, drugs or pressurised
oxygen (such as in a hyperbaric chamber, ultraviolet steriliser or oxygen tent).
• Do not attempt self-diagnosis of the measurement results and analysis, always
consult your doctor.
- Self-diagnosis may lead to a deterioration in your condition.
• Do not use on people with sensitive skin or allergies.
- This may result in exanthema, skin irritation, or eczema.
• Keep out of reach of small children and people who can not express their
consent.
• Do not use for any purpose other than obtaining an electrocardiograph.
• Do not expose the unit to strong shocks or vibrations, or drop or step on the unit.

Battery life and replacement
When the “Please insert new batteries.” message appears, replace both batteries
with new ones.
• Always turn the unit off before replacing the batteries.
• Dispose of the used batteries according to applicable local regulations.
Battery life
• Two new LR03 (AAA) batteries will last for approximately 400 measurements. (If
measurements are taken once a day at room temperature (22 °C).)
• The batteries enclosed in the package are used for demonstration purpose. It is
possible these batteries will therefore not last for 400 measurements.
• If the batteries are removed for more than one hour, the settings and any ECG
data stored in the unit may be erased. If the date and time setting is erased, be
sure to reset it before using the unit again. Any ECG data erased from the unit
cannot be recovered.
• The battery life can be confirmed in the upper right of the display.
Full power. Half remaining.
2. Inserting and Replacing Batteries
Remaining power is low.
Replace the batteries with new ones.
Warning!
If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of clean
water. Consult a doctor immediately.
Caution!
• Do not use batteries not specified for this unit. Do not insert the batteries
with the polarities in the wrong direction.
• Do not dispose of batteries in fire.
• If battery fluid should get on your skin or clothing, immediately rinse with
plenty of clean water.

4. Using SD Memory Card
The unit includes an SD memory card for storing ECG data, which can then be
viewed by your doctor later. This section describes how to insert and eject an SD
memory card, and how to format a card so it can be used to store ECG data.
Notes:
• If you need to purchase a new SD memory card, consult your Omron Customer
Service Department (Tel. 0870-7502771).
• Do not store data other than ECG data from the unit on the card.
4.1 Inserting and Ejecting SD Memory Card
The SD ( ) mark is displayed in the top right corner of the screen while the SD
memory card is inserted, and the unit is turned on.
Inserting the SD memory card
1. Check that the unit is turned off.
Caution!
Never insert an SD memory card while the unit is turned on.

4. Using SD Memory Card
2. Open the SD memory card slot cover and insert the
SD memory card into the slot.
Notes:
• Check that the card is correctly aligned and insert
it into the slot as shown.
• Insert the card until it clicks into position.
Write Protection (Locking the SD Memory Card)
• Make sure that the write-protect switch is not locked, before
inserting the SD memory card. If the write-protect switch is
locked (down), you will not be able to store new ECG data on
the SD memory card.
Caution!
When inserting the SD memory card, do not try to force the card into the slot
if it is upside down, back to front etc. This could damage the card or the unit
itself.
