Before using the unit
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON HEM-7080 Intellisense
Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor.
The OMRON HEM-7080 Intellisense is a fully automatic blood
pressure monitor, operating on the oscillometric principle. It
measures your blood pressure and pulse rate simply and
quickly. For comfortable controlled inflation without the need
for pressure pre-setting or re-inflation the device uses its
advanced “Intellisense” technology.
The monitor stores measurement results for two people and
features morning and evening averages. The auto mode
allows for three consecutive measurements with timed
intervals for an average reading.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before
using the unit. For specific information about your own
blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

You can take a measurement on either your left or right arm.
Notes:
• Measurements should be taken in a quiet place an d you
should be in a relaxed, seated position. Make sure t hat
the room is not too hot or cold.
• Avoid eating, smoking, or exercising for at least 30
minutes before taking a measurement .
• Do not move or talk during measurement.
Correct
Posture
Sit upright
with your
back straight.
The gap between the chair
and the top of the table
should be between 25cm
to 30cm.
Remove tight fitting clothing from
your upper arm, and any thick
clothing such as a sweater.
Do not place the cuff over thick cl ot he s
and do not roll up your sleeve if it i s too
tight.
Place your arm on a table so

3. Using the Unit
Notes:
• Correct posture during measurement is necessary to get
accurate results.
• You should also try to measure your blood pressure at
the same time each day. (Within 1 hour after waking up
is recommended.)
Incorrect Posture
• Arched back (leaning forwards)
• Sitting cross-legged
• Sitting on a sofa or at a low table
so that you tend to lean forward
These situations could lead to higher blood pressure values due to strain or
the arm cuff being lower than the heart.
If the arm cuff is at a lower position than yo ur heart use cushions etc. , to adjust
the height of your arm.

joint. The cuff should be 1 to 2 cm above the elbow.
• If used 2 times per day, the cuff will last for 3 years.
• The blood pressure can dif fer between the right arm and
the left arm, and therefore also the measured blood
pressure values can be dif ferent. Omron recommends t o
always use the same arm for measureme nt. If the values
between the two arms differ substantially, please check
with your doctor which arm to use for your measurement .

3. Using the Unit
Important:
• If your systolic or diastolic pressure
is outside the standard range, the
heartbeat symbol will blink when the
measurement result is displayed.
Recent research suggests that the
following values can be used as a
guide to high blood pressure for
measurements taken at home.
This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.
For professional office blood pressure measurement criteria,
please refer to page 44.
• Your blo od pressure monitor
includes an irregular heartbeat
feature. Irregular heartbeats can
influence the results of the
measurement. The irregular
heartbeat algorithm automatically
determines if the measurement is
usable or needs to be repeated. If
the measurement results are
affected by irregular heartb eats but
the result is valid, the result is shown together with the
irregular heartbeat icon. I f the irregular he artbeat s cause
the measurement to be invalid, no result is shown. If the
irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown after you
have taken a measurement, repeat the measurement. If
the irregular heartbeat icon is shown freque ntly, please
make your doctor aware of it.

What is Arrhythmia?
A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals that cause the
heart to contract.
Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is
abnormal due to flaws in the bio-electrical system that drives
the heartbeat. Typical symptoms are skipped heartbeats,
premature contraction, an abnormally rapid (tachycardia) or
slow (bradycardia) pulse. This can be caused by heart
disease, aging, physical predisposition, stress, lack of sleep,
fatigue etc. Arrhythmia can only be diagnosed by a doctor
through a special examination.
Whether the appearance of the irregular heartbeat symbol
() in the results indicates arrhythmia or not can only be
determined by an examination and diagnosis by your doctor.
If the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown frequently,
please make your doctor aware of it. Conducting selfdiagnosis and treatment based on measurement results is
dangerous. Be sure to follow the instructions of your doctor.

8.Some Useful Information about Blood Pressure
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing
against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is
constantly changing during the course of the heart's cycle.
The highest pressure in the cycle is called the Systolic Blood Pressure; the lowest is the Diastolic Blood Pressure.
Both pressure readings, the Systolic and Diastolic, are
necessary to enable a doctor to evaluate the status of a
patient's blood pressure.
Why is it a Good Thing to measure Blood
Pressure at Home?
Having your blood pressure measured by a doctor can cause
anxiety which is itself a cause of high blood pressure. As a
variety of conditions affect blood pressure, a single
measurement may not be sufficient for an accurate diagnosis.
Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of
day, can influence your blood pressure. Thus it is best to try
and measure your blood pressure at the same time each day,
to get an accurate indication of any changes in blood
pressure. Blood pressure is typically low in the morning and
increases from afternoon to evening. It is lower in the summer
and higher in the winter.
Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg)
and measurements are written with the systolic pressure
before the diastolic e.g. A blood pressure written as 140/90, is
referred to as 140 over 90 mmHg.
