INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Omron HEM-757 IntelliSense

Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor. Although your blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day, no self-adjustment is necessary as the monitor intelligently adjusts to your changing conditions. The IntelliSense

monitor uses fuzzy logic intelligence to sense both your systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, and the result is personalized inflation with every reading. Arm discomfort and misreading due to improper cuff inflation are virtually eliminated.

Your new OMRON monitoruses 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. At the push of a button, the monitor automatically fills the cuff with air and displays your systolic, diastolic, and pulse measurements on an extra large display panel.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the Omron IntelliSense

Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor. For specific information on your own blood pressure, CONT ACT Y OUR PHYSICIAN.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE

1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement.

2. Put your left arm through the cuff loop making sure that the bottom edge of the cuff is approximately one-half inch above the elbow.

3. Pull the end of the cuff so that the entire cuff is evenly tightened around your arm and press the sewn hook material firmly against the pile side of the cuff. Make sure that your skin will not be pinched in the D-ring once you inflate the cuff bladder.

Immediately deflate the cuff bladder and readjust the cuff if skin becomes pinched.

4. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your left arm on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.

5. Press the ON/OFF button.

6. After the Heart Symbol ( ) appears next to a zero on the digital panel, press the START button.

7. Remain still throughout the entire reading.

8. When measurement is complete, the monitor alternately displays your blood pressure and pulse on the digital panel and automatically deflates the cuff.

9. Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurement. You may require more rest time between readings depending on your individual physiological characteristics.

BATTERY INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT

1. Slide the battery cover off in the direction of the arrow.

2. Install or replace 4 "AA" size batteries so + (positive) and – (negative) polarities match the polarities of the battery compartment as indicated.

3. Replace the battery cover.

4. If the Low Battery Indicator ( ) appears on the display, replace all four batteries. Long-life alkaline batteries are recommended.

5. Remove the batteries if the monitor will not be used for an extended period of time.

Low Battery Indication

SUGGESTIONS BEFORE BLOOD PRESSURE MEASUREMENT

1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. Also rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a reading.

2. Stress raises blood pressure. Avoid taking measurements during stressful times.

3. Remove tight-fitting clothing from your left upper arm.

4. Measurement should be taken in a quiet place and you should be in a relaxed, seated position. Rest your left arm on the arm of a chair or on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.

5. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.

6. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse measurements for your doctor. Remember, a single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several measurements over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency. Blood pressure measurements fluctuate considerably.

7. Wait 2-3 minutes between successive measurements. Waiting allows the engorged blood vessels to return to normal. You may require more rest time between readings depending on your individual physiological characteristics.

HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF

1. Insert the air plug of the arm cuff into the air jack of the monitor.

2. The cuff should be assembled correctly when it is removed from the box. If it is not, pass the end of the cuff furthest from the tubing through the metal D-ring to form a loop. The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff loop.

3. If the cuff is assembled correctly, the sewn hook material material will be on the outside of the cuff loop and the metal D-ring will not touch your skin.

4. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1/2" above the elbow. The cuff tubing should be positioned along the middle of the inside of your arm as shown.

5. Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are tightened evenly around your arm.

HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF

(Left arm)

6. When the cuff is positioned correctly, press the sewn hook material FIRMLY against the pile side of the cuff.

7. The cuff should be wrapped so that it fits snugly and stays in place. You should be able to fit one finger between the cuff and your arm.

8. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and rest your arm on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart.

9. Relax your arm and turn your palm upward.

10. Be sure there are no kinks in the air tubing.

HO W TO T AKE A READING

Please read "A Few Suggestions Before Blood Pressure Measurement" and "How To Apply The Arm Cuff" before taking a reading.

Ready to Measure

Deflation Indication

Initial LCD Test

Inflation started.

ST AR T

1. Press the ON/OFF Button. a) All display symbols appear for

approximately one second. This is the initial LCD test.

b) The display symbols disappear

and the Deflation Indication Symbol ( ) starts to flash.

c) When the monitor completes the

necessary preparations before measurement, the Heart Symbol ( ) appears next to a zero.

NOTE:Wait for the Heart Symbol ( ) before taking a measurement.

2. Press the START button. As the cuff begins to inflate, the IntelliSense™ monitor automatically determines your ideal inflation level. During this process, the IntelliSense™ symbol ( ) will be flashing on the display. Because this monitor detects the pulse even during inflation, do not move your arm and remain still during the measurement.

Display of measurement process

A mark indicates the measurement process. When the Start Button is pushed, a mark flushes.

HO W TO T AKE A READING

3. The IntelliSense™ Progress Indicator ( ) will flash on the display showing that the monitor’s fuzzy logic intelligence is determining your personal measurements.

NOTE: Because blood pressure is being measured even during deflation, it is important to remain still until the reading is fully completed.

Display of measurement process

A mark indicates the measurement process. During the inflation, a mark turns on. During the deflation, a mark turns on and one each mark turns off with the progress of approximately every 1/3 of the process.

4. When the measurement is complete, a Heart Symbol ( ) flashes and the arm cuff deflates.

5. At the end of the measurement, your blood pressure and pulse are alternately displayed.

6. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the monitor off.

NOTE: If you forget to turn the monitor off, the monitor will automatically power off after five minutes.

1. In rare circumstances the user’s physiological characteristics may require a higher level of inflation. These circumstances may include weak pulse or an unusually high systolic blood pressure. When this occurs, the monitor may reinflate to a value of about 30 mmHg higher than the previous inflation value. Reinflation occurs only once.

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

NOTE: Do not apply more

pressure than necessary.

3. If you want to stop the measurement, push the ON/OFF button. The monitor will stop inflating and start deflating rapidly, then the monitor will power off.
