INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the Omron HEM-412C Manual Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor. This easy-to-use monitor quickly detects your blood pressure and pulse measurements and displays them on a large, clear digital panel. Your new HEM-412C 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.

QUICK REFERENCE GUIDE 1. Avoid eating, smoking, and exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. 2. Put your left arm through the cuff loop. The bottom of the cuff should be about 1/2'' above the elbow. The cuff tab should lie over the brachial artery on the inside of the arm. 3. Pull the cuff so that it is tightened evenly around your arm. Press the sewn hook material firmly against the pile side of the cuff.
BATTERY INSTALLATION/REPLACEMENT 1. Slide the battery cover off in the direction of the arrow. 2. Install 4 “AA” size batteries so + (positive) and – (negative) polarities match the polarities of the battery compartment as indicated. 3. Replace the battery cover. 4. If the Low Battery Indicator appears on the display, replace all four batteries. Long-life alkaline batteries are recommended. 5. Remove the batteries if the monitor will not be used for an extended period of time.
HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF 1. Locate your brachial artery by pressing two fingers approximately one inch above the elbow crease on the inside of the left arm. Determine where your pulse is strongest. 2. The cuff should be assembled correctly when it is removed from the box. If it is not, pass the end of the cuff furthest from the tubing through the metal D-ring to form a loop. The smooth cloth should be on the inside of the cuff loop. 3.
HOW TO APPLY THE ARM CUFF 5. Pull the cuff so that the top and bottom edges are tightened evenly around your arm. 6. When the cuff is positioned correctly, press the sewn hook material FIRMLY against the pile side of the cuff. 7. Make certain the cuff fits snugly around your arm. The cuff should make good contact with your skin. 8. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your arm on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. 9.

Initial LCD Test SYSTOLIC mm Hg DIASTOLIC mm Hg PULSE/MIN b) The display symbols disappear and the Deflation Indication Symbol ( ) starts to flash. Deflation Indication ➧ c) When the monitor completes the necessary preparations before measurement, the Ready To Measure Symbol ( ) appears next to a zero.
HOW TO TAKE A READING 3. Stop pumping the inflation bulb when you have reached your correct inflation level and remain still. The cuff will begin to deflate automatically. ➞ Indicated Value Drops Measuring 4. As the cuff deflates, decreasing numbers appear on the display. The Ready To Measure Symbol ( ) flashes at the onset of oscillation signals. ➞ ➞ Blood Pressure Reading Display (for approx. 3.5 sec.) 5.
CARE AND MAINTENANCE To protect your monitor from damage, please do the following: • Do not subject your monitor to extreme temperatures, humidity, and direct sunlight. • Do not fold the cuff and tubing tightly. • Do not inflate the monitor over 280 mmHg. • Do not disassemble the monitor. • Do not subject the monitor to strong shocks (for example, dropping the monitor on the floor). • Do not clean the monitor with volatile liquids. THE MONITOR SHOULD BE CLEANED WITH A SOFT, DRY CLOTH.
ERROR INDICATORS Error Symbol Cause Correction Cuff under-inflated. Movement during measurement. No pulse or blood pressure reading due to very weak artery pulse. Residual air pressure in cuff. Cuff over-inflated (more than 300 mmHg.) Batteries have run down. Wait 10 minutes before taking another measurement. Repeat steps listed under “How To Tke a Reading”, but manually inflate the cuff 40 mmHg higher than the previous inflation value.
