Omron Relion 7400REL Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor User Manual

Omron Relion 7400REL Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor User Manual

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the ReliOn® 7400REL Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor. 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 7400REL comes with the following components:

• Monitor
• Wide Range Cuff
• AC Adapter
• Instruction Manual printed in English and Spanish
• Quick Start Guide

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

INTENDED USE
This monitor is designed to measure the 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 ensure the correct use of the product, basic safety measures should always be followed including the warnings and cautions listed in this instruction manual.

WARNING

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.

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.

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 the 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 before taking the blood pressure measurement.
8. You may need to increase the wait time depending on your physiological characteristics.
9. 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.
10. You need to take and record several readings over some time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day for consistency.

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 into 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 centred on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger.
4. The air tube runs down the inside of your arm. The bottom of the cuff should be approximately 1/2 ” above your elbow.
5. 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 run 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 pulse rate in the memory of 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.

4. 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 monitor will stop inflating, start deflating, and will turn off.

5. Inflation stops automatically and the measurement is started. As the cuff deflates, decreasing numbers appear on the display and the Heartbeat Symbol ( ) flashes.

6. When the measurement is complete, the arm cuff completely deflates. Your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed.

The 1999 WHO/ISH guidelines for the management of hypertension are as follows:

Category / Blood pressure

• Hypertension
• High-Normal
• Normal

Systolic blood pressure

• above 139 mmHg
• 130 – 139 mmHg
• 129 mmHg or less

Diastolic blood pressure

• above 89 mmHg
• 85 – 89 mmHg
• 84 mmHg or less

This is a general guideline because blood pressure depends on age and morbidity. A lower home blood pressure goal may be recommended for certain patients, including diabetic patients, pregnant women, and patients with renal failure. Press the ON/OFF button to turn the monitor off.

NOTE: The monitor will automatically turn off after 2 minutes.

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.

WARNING
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.

WARNING
The monitor is not intended to be a diagnostic device.

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. The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg. When the measurement is complete, the arm cuff completely deflates. Your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed.

USING THE MEMORY FUNCTION
The monitor automatically stores up to 100 sets of measurement values (blood pressure and pulse rate) for each user (A or B). When 100 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.
NOTES: If two sets of measurement values are stored in the memory for 10 minutes, the average is based on the two sets of measurement values. If one set of measurement values is stored, this is displayed. When viewing the reading taken without setting the date and time, “-:–” is displayed instead of the date and time. The average reading will not be calculated without setting the date and time.

TO DISPLAY THE MEASUREMENT VALUES
Select your USER ID (A or B). Press the Memory button ( ). The Average Symbol ( ) appears on the display when the average reading is shown. Press the Down button ( ) to display the most recent set of measurement values on the screen. The values are displayed from the most recent to the oldest.

NOTES: The Memory number appears for a second before the pulse rate is displayed. The newest set is number “1”. The date and time are alternately displayed with the measurement values. Press the Up ( ) or Down ( ) button to display the next set of values.

NOTE: Press and hold the Up or Down button to display the values faster.

TO DELETE ALL VALUES STORED IN THE MEMORY
The values stored in the memory are deleted by USER ID. You cannot partially delete values stored in the memory. All values for the user you select will be deleted.
