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. The monitor stores measurement
results for two people and features Morning and Evening Averages.
TruRead
TM
allows for three consecutive measurements with timed
intervals for an average reading.
Omron Health Management Software included with this unit allows you
to view, process and print data about blood pressure measured by the
HEM-790IT.
The HEM-790IT comes with the following components:
• Monitor • ComFit
TM
Cuff • AC Adapter
• 4 “AA” Batteries • Storage Case
• Instruction Manual printed in English and Spanish
• USB Cable • CD-ROM • Warranty Card
The HEM-790IT IntelliSense

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.
If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with
plenty of clean water. Contact a physician immediately.
Read all of the information in the instruction manual and any other
literature in the box before operating the unit.
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.
SAFETY INFORMATION
OPERATING THE DEVICE (continued)
Read the Special Conditions section (page 36) of the instruction
manual if your systolic pressure is known to be more than 220
mmHg. Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in
bruising where the cuff is applied.
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 manganese or 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 eardrums.
SAFETY INFORMATION

RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK
Do not plug or unplug the power cord into the electrical outlet with
wet hands.
Do not overload power outlets. Plug the device into the appropriate
voltage outlet.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE
Do not subject the monitor to strong shocks, such as dropping the

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 in 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.

An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as
a rhythm that is more than 25% slower or
25% faster from the average rhythm
detected while the monitor is measuring the
systolic blood pressure and the diastolic
blood pressure.
If the irregular heartbeat symbol ( )
displays with your measurement results, we
recommend you consult your physician.
Follow the directions of your doctor.

The American Heart Association1recommends the following guideline
for upper limit of normal for home blood pressure readings:
AHA Home Guideline for Upper Limit of Normal BP
Systolic Blood Pressure 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure 85 mmHg
This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends on
age and morbidity. The AHA recommends a lower home blood
pressure goal for certain patients, including diabetic patients,
pregnant women, and patients with renal failure

The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.
WARNING
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.
Omron Healthcare recommends you contact your physician if the
MORNING HYPERTENSION SYMBOL and/or the HEARTBEAT
SYMBOL appear on the display with your measurement values.
MORNING HYPERTENSION SYMBOL ()
The Morning Hypertension Symbol is displayed if the morning average
reading for a week is above 135 for the Systolic Blood Pressure value
and/or 85 for the Diastolic Blood Pressure value when viewing the
Morning Averages and the Evening Averages in the memory.

Set the monitor to the current date and time before taking a
measurement for the first time. If the date and time are not set correctly,
the measurement values stored in the memory and the average values
may not be correct.
The Blood Pressure Monitor automatically stores up to 84 individual
measurements values with the dates and times. The monitor also
calculates weekly averages for measurements in the morning and in the
evening. Morning and Evening averages are stored for this week and the
last seven weeks.
The monitor can also calculate an average reading based on the three
most recent measurements taken within 10 minutes of the last reading.
NOTE: • If only two readings are stored in the memory for the 10-
minute period, the average is based on the two readings.
• If one reading is stored in the memory for the 10-minute
period, this reading is displayed as the average.
