Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON i-Q142 Intellisense SpotArm™ Type Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor.

The OMRON i-Q142 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

Introduction

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.

Omron's blood pressure management software and printer are optional. The software allows you to view, manage and print data about blood pressure measured by the OMRON i-Q142 Intellisense. Software is in English only.

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

Important Safety Information

Consult your doctor during pregnancy, arrhythmia and arteriosclerosis. Please read this section carefully before using the unit.

Warning:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

(General Usage)

• Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and self-treatment are dangerous.

• People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should consult a doctor before using the unit. Cuff inflation can cause internal bleeding.

• Stop using the unit immediately, if medication spills on the cuff lining or it otherwise becomes contaminated. Continued use could pose a risk of infection. Contact your OMRON distributor or customer services in case you want to have the cuff lining replaced.

• Do not take measurements if there is a wound on your arm, such as cuts or scratches. This could cause the wound to deteriorate, or cause an infection through contamination of the cuff lining.

(AC Adapter Usage)

• Never plug in or unplug the power cord from the electric outlet with wet hands.

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.

Important Safety Information

(General Usage)

• Do not leave the unit unattended with infants or persons who cannot express their consent.

• Do not use the unit for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.

• Do not disassemble the unit.

• 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.

• Do not allow objects to come into contact with the PC/printer port of the unit when taking measurements.
