Fill in for future reference. DATE PURCHASED: __________________ SERIAL NUMBER: ____________________ Staple your purchase receipt here 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 monitor stores measurement results for two people and features Morning and Evening Averages. TruReadTM allows for three consecutive measurements with timed intervals for an average reading. The HEM-775 comes with the following components: · Monitor · ComFitTM Cuff · AC Adapter · 4 "AA" Batteries · Warranty Card · Instruction Manual printed in English and Spanish The HEM-775 IntelliSense® Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor is intended for home use. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 4 SAFETY INFORMATION 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. 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. 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. 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. 5 SAFETY INFORMATION OPERATING THE DEVICE (continued) Read the Special Conditions section (page 35) 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 Omron authorized parts and accessories. Parts and accessories not approved for use with the device may damage the unit. Use only 1.5V manganese or alkaline batteries with this device. Do not use other types of batteries. This may damage the unit. RISK OF ELECTRICAL SHOCK Do not plug or unplug the power cord into the electrical outlet with wet hands. Do not overload power outlets. Plug the device into the appropriate voltage outlet. 6 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 Omron Healthcare will void the user warranty. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the unit or components. Do not store the AC adapter in the cuff compartment. This may damage the cuff. 7 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 in 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. 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. 8 Operating Instructions KNOW YOUR UNIT Main Unit: Monitor Cover Air Jack Cuff Compartment USER ID Symbol (A or B) Display USER ID Selection Switch Start/Stop Button SET Button Memory ( Morning/Evening Average ( / ) Buttons ) Button Battery Compartment AC Adapter Jack 9 KNOW YOUR UNIT Components: Air Tube Cord Housing AC Adapter Four "AA" Batteries Air Plug (Connects to Air Jack) Arm Cuff Instruction Manual UNIT DISPLAY Systolic Blood Pressure USER ID Symbol (A or B) Diastolic Blood Pressure Heartbeat Symbol Movement Symbol Irregular Heartbeat Symbol TruReadTM Symbol Deflation Symbol Low Battery Indicator Morning Hypertension Symbol Morning Average Symbol Evening Average Symbol Average Value Symbol Memory Symbol Pulse Display Week Display Date/Time Display 10 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 is more than 25% slower or 25% faster from the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic blood pressure and the diastolic blood pressure. If the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) displays with your measurement results, we recommend you consult your physician. Follow the directions of your doctor. Normal Heartbeat Pulse Blood pressure Irregular Heartbeat Short Long Pulse Blood pressure 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. Take another measurement. USER ID SYMBOL ( / ) The USER ID Symbol indicates USER A or USER B as selected by the user to take a measurement or when using the memory function. The USER ID Symbol is not displayed when using the Guest Mode to take a measurement. 11 DISPLAY SYMBOLS The American Heart Association1 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 failure1. The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device. WARNING 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. Omron Healthcare recommends you contact your physician if the MORNING HYPERTENSION SYMBOL and/or the HEARTBEAT SYMBOL appear on the display with your measurement values. MORNING HYPERTENSION SYMBOL ( ) The Morning Hypertension Symbol is displayed if the morning average reading for a week is above 135 for the Systolic Blood Pressure value and/or 85 for the Diastolic Blood Pressure value when viewing the Morning Averages and the Evening Averages in the memory. 1 American Heart Association Scientific Statement 2004 12 DISPLAY SYMBOLS HEARTBEAT SYMBOL ( TAKING A MEASUREMENT ) The Heartbeat Symbol flashes on the display during the measurement. The Heartbeat Symbol flashes at every heartbeat. When the measurement is complete, the Heartbeat Symbol flashes on the display with your blood pressure and pulse rate if the reading is above 135 for the Systolic Blood Pressure value and/or 85 for the Diastolic Blood Pressure value.
