OMRON HEM-7120 (Automatic Blood Pressure)

Blood Pressure Monitors

Home blood pressure monitoring is essential to preventing heart disease and strokes. At OMRON, our goal is making sure the blood pressure monitors we manufacture are portable and easy to use. Most importantly, our blood pressure monitors are recommended by doctors for providing accurate results.

Blood Pressure Monitoring and Fluctuations

Blood pressure fluctuations are normal, so frequent monitoring gives a clearer picture of your numbers. This lets you and your doctor see your treatment in action, an important step in helping to prevent heart attack and stroke.

General Precautions

 Do not forcibly bend the arm cuff or the air tube excessively.

• Do not fold or kink the air tube while taking a measurement. This may cause harmful injury by interrupting blood flow.
• To unplug the air plug, pull on the air plug at the connection with the monitor, not the tube itself.
• Do not apply strong shocks and vibrations to or drop the monitor and arm cuff.
• Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.
• Read and follow the "Important information regarding Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC)" in the "6. Technical Data".
• Do not use this monitor outside the specified environment. It may cause an inaccurate reading.
• Dispose of this monitor, components and optional accessories according to applicable local regulations. Unlawful disposal may cause environmental pollution.
• Please check (for example, by observation of the limb concerned) if this monitor is not causing a prolonged impairment of PATIENT blood circulation.
• If this monitor is stored at the maximum or minimum storage and transport temperature and is moved to an environment with a temperature of 20°c, we recommend waiting for approx. 2 hours before using the monitor.

Before Taking a Measurement

To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:

• Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating for 30 minutes before taking a measurement.
• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking the measurement.
