Your new digital blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your bloods 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 HEM-711AC comes with the following components:

• Monitor • Standard Adult Arm Cuff

• AC Adapter • Instruction Manual printed in English and Spanish

• Storage Case

The HEM-711AC IntelliSense Monitor is intended for home use.

IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES

To assure the correct use of the product basic safety measures should always be followed including the precautions listed below:

þ Read all information in the instruction book and any other literature

included in the box before using the unit.

þ Contact your physician for specific information about your blood

pressure. Follow the instructions of your healthcare provider.

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

þ The unit is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse

rate in adult patient population. Do not use on infants or persons who cannot express their intentions.

þ Do not use a cellular phone near the unit. It may result in

operational failure.

þ Do not plug or unplug the adapter power cord with wet hands.

þ Changes or modifications not approved by Omron Healthcare will

void the user warranty. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the unit or components.

BEFORE TAKING A MEASUREMENT

To ensure a reliable reading follow these recommendations:

1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising 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 left arm.

5. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left 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 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.

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.

APPLYING THE ARM CUFF

APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE RIGHT ARM

When taking a measurement using the right arm use this instruction for Step 5.

Apply the cuff to your right upper arm so the blue arrow and the air tube runs along the inside of your elbow. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1/2'' above your elbow.

NOTE: Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube. This will restrict

the flow of air to the cuff

TAKING A MEASUREMENT

START

STOP

The monitor automatically determines your ideal inflation level. In rare circumstances when a higher inflation may be necessary, the monitor automatically re-inflates the cuff up to 30 mmHg higher than the initial inflation and restarts the measurement.

1. Press the START/STOP button. All display symbols appear on the screen. The cuff starts to inflate

automatically. As the cuff begins to inflate, the monitor automatically determines

your ideal inflation level. Because this monitor detects the pulse even during inflation, do not move your arm and remain still until the entire measurement process has been completed.

NOTE: To stop the inflation or measurement, push the

START/STOP button. The monitor will stop inflating, start deflating, and will turn off.

2. Inflation stops automatically and the measurement is started. As the cuff deflates, decreasing

numbers appear on the display. The Heart Symbol ( ) flashes at every heartbeat.

INSTRUCTIONS FOR SPECIAL CONDITIONS

If your systolic pressure is known to be more than 220 mmHg, press and hold the START/STOP button until the monitor inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your suspected systolic pressure.

NOTES: • Do not apply more pressure than necessary.

• The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg.
