INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the ReliOnTM BP200 Blood Pressure Monitor, Model
# HEM-741CRELN4.

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 ReliOn

TM

BP200 Blood Pressure Monitor, Model # HEM-741CRELN4 comes with

the following components:

• Monitor • Wide Range Arm Cuff • 4 "AA" Alkaline Batteries

• Instruction Manual • 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.

Fill in for future reference.

SAFETY INFORMATION

INTENDED USE

This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse
rate in adult patient population. The device detects the appearance of irregular
heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal with the readings.

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

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

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.

GENERAL USAGE

DO NOT adjust medication based on measurement values 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.
Consult your physician before using the device for any of the following conditions:
common arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial
fibrillation, arterial sclerosis, poor perfusion, diabetes, age, pregnancy,
pre-eclampsia, renal diseases.
Note that PATIENT motion, trembling, shivering may affect the measurement value.
Do not use the device on the injured arm or the arm under medical treatment.
Do not apply the arm cuff on the arm while on an intravenous drip or blood transfusion.
Consult your physician before using the device on the arm with an arterio-venous
(A-V) shunt.
Do not use the device with other medical electrical (ME) equipment simultaneously.
Do not use the device in the area of HF surgical equipment, MRI, or CT scanner, or
in an oxygen rich environment.
The air tube may cause accidental strangulation in infants.
Contains small parts that may cause a choking hazard if swallowed by infants and
small children.

SAFETY INFORMATION

GENERAL USAGE

Always consult your physician. Self-diagnosis of measurement values and
self-treatment are dangerous.
Consult your physician before using the device for any of the following conditions:

• If you have had a mastectomy.

• People with severe blood flow problems or blood disorders as cuff inflation can

cause bruising.
Do not take measurements more than necessary. It may cause bruising due to blood
flow interference.
Remove the arm cuff if it does not start deflating during the measurement.
Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their intentions.
Do not use the device for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.
Use only the approved arm cuff for this device. Use of other arm cuffs may result in
incorrect measurement values.
Do not use a mobile phone or other devices that emit electromagnetic fields near the
device. This may result in incorrect operation of the device.
Use only Omron authorized parts and accessories. Parts and accessories not approved
for use with the device may damage the unit.
Do not disassemble the monitor or arm cuff. This may cause an inaccurate reading.
Do not use in a location with moisture, or a location where water may splash on the
device. This may damage the device.
Do not use the device in a moving vehicle. For example, the car or airplane.

Read "If your systolic pressure is more than 210 mmHg" in "TAKING A
MEASUREMENT" section in this manual, if your systolic pressure is known to be

more than 210 mmHg. Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in
bruising where the cuff is applied.

BATTERY USAGE

Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.
Use only 4 "AA" alkaline or manganese batteries with this device. Do not use other
types of batteries. Do not use new and used batteries together.
Remove the batteries if the device will not be used for three months or more.
If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of clean water.
Contact a physician immediately.

SAFETY INFORMATION

GENERAL PRECAUTIONS

• Do not forcibly crease the arm cuff or the air tube excessively.

• Do not press the air tube while taking a measurement.

• To unplug the air plug, pull on the air plug at the connection with the monitor, not

the tube itself.

• Do not drop the monitor or subject device to strong shocks or vibrations.

• Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.

•

Do not use the device outside the specified environment. It may cause an inaccurate reading.

• Dispose of the device, components and optional accessories according to applicable

local regulations. Unlawful disposal may cause environmental pollution.

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 5 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 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 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.

DISPLAY SYMBOLS

IRREGULAR HEARTBEAT SYMBOL ( )

When the monitor detects an irregular rhythm two or more times during the

measurement, the Irregular Heartbeat Symbol will appear on the display with the
measurement values.

An irregular heartbeat rhythm is defined as
a rhythm that varies by 25% less or 25%
more than the average rhythm detected
while the monitor is measuring the systolic
and diastolic blood pressure.

If the irregular heartbeat symbol
displays with your measurement values,
we recommend you consult your
physician. Follow the directions of your
doctor.

MOVEMENT ERROR SYMBOL ( )

The Movement Error Symbol is displayed if you move your body during the
measurement. Please remove the arm cuff, and wait 2-3 minutes. Re-apply the arm cuff
and take another measurement.

AVERAGE READING SYMBOL ( )

The Average Reading Symbol is displayed when you press and hold the button
for more than 3 seconds.

The average reading based on the last 3 measurement values taken within 10 minutes
appears on the display screen.

HEARTBEAT SYMBOL ( )

The Heartbeat symbol flashes on the display at every heartbeat during the measurement.
