Before using the unit

Introduction

Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON i-Q132 Intellisense SpotArm™ Type Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor.

The OMRON i-Q132 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 reinflation the device uses its advanced “Intellisense” technology.

The adjustable cuff angle corrects the body posture which tends to be stooped. The elbow rest stabilizes the position and keeps the arm at the most appropriate angle.

By simply placing the arm through the cuff, it automatically wraps around your arm to the appropriate size and starts to measure your blood pressure and pulse rate.

The monitor stores measurement results for two people and features

morning and evening averages.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit. For specific information about your own blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

Important Safety Information

Do not inflate the arm cuff over 299 mmHg.

If the cuff does not stop inflating, or some other abnormality occurs, press the Emergency Deflation Switch immediately to prevent from internal bleeding or damage to peripheral nerves.

To inflate the cuff manually, refer to Chapter 3.4. If the cuff is over inflated, it can cause internal bleeding.

Be sure to remove watches and other jewelry (rings, bracelets) etc. that could damage the cuff lining during application.

Do not take readings if the cuff lining is damaged. This could cause injury.

Do not use a mobile phone near the unit. This could cause a malfunction.

(AC Adapter Usage)

Use only the original AC adapter designed for this unit. Use of unsupported adapters may damage and/or may be hazardous to the unit.

Plug the AC adapter into the appropriate voltage outlet.

Do not use the AC adapter if the unit or the power cord is damaged. Turn off the power and unplug the power cord immediately.

• If battery fluid should get on your skin or clothing, immediately rinse

EN

with plenty of clean water.

 

Use only four “AA” alkaline batteries with this unit. Do not use other types of batteries.

Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.

Replace old batteries with new ones immediately. Replace all four batteries at the same time.

Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or more.

Important Safety Information

General Precautions

Do not apply strong shocks and vibrations to or drop the unit.

Do not take measurements after bathing, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising or eating.

Read and follow the “Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)” in the Technical Data Section.

Read and follow the “Correct Disposal of This Product” in the Technical Data Section when disposing of the device and any used accessories or optional parts.

When the unit is not in use, or if it is moved etc., do not place objects (writing implements, note books, the AC adapter etc.) in the arm cuff. This could cause damage to the cuff lining or the unit and prevent the unit from taking correct readings.

2.1Installing/Replacing the Batteries

To set the date and time, first insert the batteries, then attach the AC adapter.

Please insert the batteries even if you will be using the AC adapter. The batteries are required to store the date and time setting.

If the unit is used without the batteries inserted, the clock will stop when the AC adapter is disconnected. However, the measurement values remain in the memory.

If you use the AC adapter to power the unit, the backlight of the display will light, making the display easier to see. The backlight will not light when using batteries only.

By using both the AC adapter and batteries, the batteries will last longer.

Installing the Batteries

1.Make sure that the arm cuff is secured to the unit, and turn the unit upside down.

2.Slide the battery cover in the

direction of the arrow while pressing the ribbed part of the cover.

10

2. Preparation

3. Install or replace four “AA” size batteries so that the + (positive) and - (negative) polarities match the polarities indicated in the battery compartment.

4.Put the battery cover back in place.

Slide the battery cover, until it clicks into place.

2. Preparation

Battery Life & Replacement

If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display, replace all four batteries at the same time.

-When the battery low symbol ( ) starts to blink, you will still be able to use the unit for a short while. You should replace the batteries with new ones ahead of time.

-When the symbol ( ) remains lit, the batteries are exhausted. You should replace the batteries with new ones at once. Turn the unit off before replacing the batteries.

Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or more.

If the batteries have been removed for more than 30 seconds, the Date/Time setting will need to be reset. See Chapter 2.3 for details.

Dispose of batteries according to applicable local regulations.

Four new AAalkaline batteries will last for approximately 250 measurements, when used to take six measurements a day using battery power only.

Since the supplied batteries are for monitoring use only, they may have a shorter life and not last for 250 measurements.
