• DO NOT use this monitor in oxygen rich environments or near flammable gas.
• Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have common arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation; arterial sclerosis poor perfusion; diabetes; pregnancy; pre-eclampsia or renal disease. NOTE that any of these conditions in addition to patient motion, trembling, or shivering may affect the measurement reading.
• NEVER diagnose or treat yourself based on your readings. ALWAYS consult  with your physician.
• To help avoid strangulation, keep the air tube and AC adapter cable away from infants, toddlers and children.
• This product contains small parts that may cause a choking hazard if swallowed by infants, toddlers and children.

Data Transmission

• This product emits radio frequencies (RF) in the 2.4 GHz band. DO NOT use this product in locations where RF is restricted, such as on an aircraft or in hospitals. Turn off the Bluetooth® feature in this monitor, remove batteries and/or unplug the AC adapter when in RF restricted areas.

AC Adapter (optional accessory) Handling and Usage

•  DO NOT use the AC adapter if this monitor or the AC adapter cable is damaged. If this monitor or the cable is damaged, turn off the power and unplug the AC adapter immediately.
•  Plug the AC adapter into the appropriate voltage outlet. DO NOT use in a multi-outlet plug.

Battery Handling and Usage

• Keep batteries out of the reach of infants, toddlers and children.
  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.

• Stop using this monitor and consult with your physician if you experience skin irritation or discomfort.

• Consult with your physician before using this monitor on an arm where intravascular access or therapy, or an arteriovenous (A-V) shunt, is present because of temporary interference to blood flow and could result in injury.

• Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have had a mastectomy.

• Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have severe blood flow problems or blood disorders as cuff inflation can cause bruising.

• DO NOT take measurements more often than necessary because bruising, due to blood flow interference, may occur.

• ONLY inflate the arm cuff when it is applied on your upper arm.

• Remove the arm cuff if it does not start deflating during a measurement.

• DO NOT use this monitor for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.

• During measurement, make sure that no mobile device or any other electrical device that emit electromagnetic fields is within 30 cm of this monitor. This may result in incorrect operation of the monitor and/or cause an inaccurate reading.

• DO NOT disassemble or attempt to repair this monitor or other components. This may cause an inaccurate reading.

•  DO NOT use in a location where there is moisture or a risk of water splashing this monitor. This may damage this monitor.

• DO NOT use this monitor in a moving vehicle such as in a car or on an aircraft.

• DO NOT drop or subject this monitor to strong shocks or vibrations.

• DO NOT use this monitor in places with high or low humidity or high or low temperatures. Refer to section 6.

• During measurement, observe the arm to ensure that the monitor is not causing prolonged impairment to blood circulation.

• DO NOT use this monitor in high-use environments such as medical clinics or physician offices.

• DO NOT use this monitor with other medical electrical (ME) equipment simultaneously. This may result in incorrect operation and/or cause an inaccurate reading.

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

• Rest for at least 5 minutes before taking a measurement.

•  Remove tight-fitting or thick clothing from your arm while taking a measurement.

• Remain still and DO NOT talk while taking a measurement.

• ONLY use the arm cuff on persons whose arm circumference is within the specified range of the cuff.

• Ensure that this monitor has acclimated to room temperature before taking a measurement. Taking a measurement after an extreme temperature change could lead to an inaccurate reading. OMRON recommends waiting for approximately 2 hours for the monitor to warm up or cool down when the monitor is used in an environment within the temperature specified as operating conditions after it is stored either at the maximum or at the minimum storage temperature. For additional information on operating and storage/transport temperature, refer to section 6.

• DO NOT use this monitor after the durable period has ended. Refer to section 6.

• DO NOT crease the arm cuff or the air tube excessively.

• DO NOT fold or kink the air tube while taking a measurement. This may cause an injury by interrupting blood flow.

• To unplug the air plug, pull on the plastic air plug at the base of the tube, not the tube itself.

• ONLY use the AC adapter, arm cuff, batteries and accessories specified for this monitor. Use of unsupported AC adapters, arm cuffs and batteries may damage and/or may be hazardous to this monitor.

• ONLY use the approved arm cuff for this monitor. Use of other arm cuffs may result in incorrect readings.

• Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising of the arm where the cuff is applied.
  NOTE: refer to “If your systolic pressure is more than 210 mmHg” in section 13 of instruction manual for additional information.

• Read and follow the “Correct Disposal of This Product” in section 7 when disposing of the device and any used accessories or optional parts.

Data Transmission

DO NOT replace batteries or unplug the AC adapter while your readings are being transferred to your smart device. This may result in incorrect operation of this monitor and failure to transfer your blood pressure data.

AC Adapter (optional accessory) Handling and Usage

• Fully insert the AC adapter into the outlet.
• When unplugging the AC adapter from the outlet, be sure to safely pull from the AC adapter. DO NOT pull from the AC adapter cable.
• When handling the AC adapter cable:
  • Do not damage it. / Do not break it. / Do not tamper with it.
  • DO NOT pinch it. / Do not forcibly bend or pull it. / Do not twist it. DO NOT use it if it is gathered in a bundle.
  • DO NOT place it under heavy objects.
• Wipe any dust off of the AC adapter.
• Unplug the AC adapter when not in use.
• Unplug the AC adapter before cleaning this monitor.

Battery Handling and Usage

• DO NOT insert batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.
• ONLY use 4 “AA” alkaline or manganese batteries with this monitor.
• DO NOT use other types of batteries. DO NOT use new and used batteries together. DO NOT use different brands of batteries together.
• Remove batteries if this monitor will not be used for a long period of time.
• If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of clean water. Consult with your physician immediately.
• If battery fluid should get on your skin, wash your skin immediately with plenty of clean, lukewarm water. If irritation, injury or pain persists, consult with your physician.
• DO NOT use batteries after their expiration date.
• Periodically check batteries to ensure they are in good working condition.

General Precautions

• To stop a measurement, press the [START/STOP] button while taking a measurement.
• When you take a measurement on the right arm, the air tube should be at the side of your elbow. Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube.
• Blood pressure may differ between the right and left arm, and may result in a different measurement value. Always use the same arm for measurements. If the values between both arms differ substantially, check with your physician on which arm to use for your measurements.
• When using an optional AC adapter, make sure not to place your monitor in a location where it is difficult to plug and unplug the AC adapter.

Battery Handling and Usage

• Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance with local regulations.
• The supplied batteries may have a shorter life span than new batteries.

Remember to have 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. Please use the Blood Pressure Diary to keep records of several readings over a certain period of time. To download PDF files of the diary, visit www.omron-healthcare.com.
