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 7100REL comes with the following components:

• Monitor • Standard Adult Arm Cuff • 4 “AAA” Batteries

• Instruction Manual printed in English and Spanish The ReliOn

7100REL Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor is intended

for home use.

SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS

Before Using the Unit

To assure the correct use of the product basic safety measures should always be followed including the warnings and cautions listed in this instruction manual.

WARNING

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

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.

The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device. 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 carefully “Taking a Measurement” No.3 of the instruction manual if your systolic pressure is known to be higher.

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.

Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm. Use only authorized parts and accessories. Parts and accessories not

approved for use with the device may damage the unit. Use only 1.5V “AAA” alkaline batteries with this device. Do not use

any other type of battery. This may damage the unit.

SAFETY INFORMATION

CARE AND MAINTENANCE

Do not subject the monitor to strong shocks, such as dropping the unit on the floor.

Do not submerge the device or any of the components in water. Store the device and the components in a clean, safe location. Changes or modification not approved by the manufacturer will void

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

SAFETY INFORMATION

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 on 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. 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.

8. 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 about the same time each day for consistency.

The American Heart Association (AHA) recommends 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

WARNING

• The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic 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.

CAUTION

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.

APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE LEFT ARM

1. Make sure the air plug is securely inserted in the main unit.

NOTE: If the cuff is not assembled, lay the cuff flat with the metal D

ring facing down and on the right side. Pass the left edge through the metal D ring to form a loop. The smooth cloth should be inside of the loop.

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

APPLYING THE ARM CUFF

3. Apply the cuff to your left upper arm so the blue arrow is centered on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger. The air tube runs down the inside of your arm. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1/2" above your elbow.

4. Wrap the cuff firmly in place around your arm using the closure strip.

APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE RIGHT ARM

When taking a measurement using the right arm use this instruction for Step 4 on page 14.

Apply the cuff to your right upper arm so the blue arrow and the air tube runs along the side of your arm. 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.

APPLYING THE ARM CUFF

CAUTION

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

1. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Place your left arm on a table so the cuff is level with your heart.

Remain still and do not move your arm until the entire measurement is complete.

2. Press the ON/OFF START button.

All symbols appear on the display.

CAUTION

Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising where the cuff is applied.
