Your new 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. An oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use. The HEM-741CREL comes with the following components:

• Monitor • Wide Range Cuff • 4 “AA” Alkaline Batteries

• Instruction Manual printed in English and Spanish • Quick Start Guide

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

SAFETY INFORMATION

INTENDED USE

This monitor is designed to measure blood pressure and pulse rate of adults within the range of the designated arm cuff, following the directions provided in this instruction manual. The monitor is designed for home use. Read the Safety Information in this instruction manual before using this monitor.

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.

SAFETY SYMBOLS USED IN THIS INSTRUCTION MANUAL

WARNING

CAUTION

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.

DO NOT adjust medication based on measurement results from this blood pressure monitor. Take medication as prescribed by your physician. Only a physician is qualified to diagnose and treat High Blood Pressure.

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.

Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their intentions.

Read the Special Conditions section 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 authorized parts and accessories. Parts and accessories not approved for use with the device may damage the unit.

Use only 1.5V Alkaline batteries with this device. Other types of batteries may damage the unit.

Do not use in a location with moisture, or a location where water may splash on the unit.

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.

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

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 left arm.

5. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your left arm on 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 the same time each day for consistency.

APPLYING THE ARM CUFF

CAUTION

Read all of the information in the instruction manual and any other literature in the box before operating the unit.

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.

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

3. Apply the cuff to your left upper arm so the 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 cloth fastening.

APPLYING THE CUFF ON THE RIGHT ARM

When taking a measurement using the right arm, use this instruction for Step 3.

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

TAKING A MEASUREMENT

The monitor is designed to store the blood pressure and the pulse rate in the memory for two people (USER A or USER B) every time a measurement is completed.

1. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Place your arm on a table so the cuff is level with your heart. Keep still and do not talk during measurement.

2. Select your USER ID (A or B).

3. Press the ON/OFF button. All symbols appear on the display. The cuff starts to inflate automatically. As the cuff inflates, the monitor automatically determines your ideal inflation level. Remain still and do not move your arm until the entire measurement process is completed.

NOTE: To stop the inflation or measurement, push the ON/OFF button. The

SPECIAL CONDITIONS

CAUTION

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

If your systolic pressure is known to be more than 220 mmHg, press and hold the ON/OFF button until the monitor inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your expected systolic pressure, after the cuff starts to inflate.

NOTES: • Do not apply more pressure than necessary.

When the measurement is complete, the arm cuff completely deflates.

Your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed.

• The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg.

USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION

The monitor automatically stores up to 30 sets of measurement values (blood pressure

and pulse rate) for each user (A or B). When 30 sets of measurement values are stored,

the oldest record is deleted to save the most recent values.

AVERAGING FUNCTION

The monitor calculates the average reading based on the three most recent sets of measurement values taken within 10 minutes of the most recent reading.
