INTRODUCTION Thank you for purchasing the OMRON® BP710N Blood Pressure Monitor. Your new blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION Warning: Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury. (General Usage) 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.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION 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. (General Usage) Always consult your physician. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and self-treatment are dangerous. Consult your physician before using the device for any of the following conditions: • If you have had a mastectomy. • Do not take measurements more than necessary.
IMPORTANT SAFETY INFORMATION (Battery Usage) Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned. Use only 4 “AA” alkaline or manganese batteries with this device. Do not use other types of batteries. Do not use new and used batteries together. Remove the batteries if the device will not be used for three months or more. General Precautions • Do not forcibly crease the arm cuff or the air tube excessively. • Do not press the air tube while taking a measurement.

KNOW YOUR DEVICE Display: N I O J K L P Q M I. J. K. L. M. Memory symbol Systolic blood pressure Diastolic blood pressure Low battery symbol Heartbeat symbol (Flashes during measurement.) N. O. P. Q.
KNOW YOUR DEVICE 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 25% less or 25% more than the average rhythm detected while the monitor is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood pressure.
KNOW YOUR DEVICE Before Taking a Measurement To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions: 1. Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising and eating 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.
PREPARATION Battery Installation 1. Remove the battery cover. 2. Insert 4 “AA” batteries as indicated in the battery compartment. 3. Replace the battery cover. Notes: • When the low battery symbol ( ) appears on the display, turn the monitor off, then replace all batteries at the same time. Long life alkaline batteries are recommended. • The measurement values continue to be stored in memory even after the batteries are replaced.
USING THE DEVICE Applying the Arm Cuff Remove tight-fitting clothing or tight rolled up sleeve from your left upper arm. Do not place the arm cuff over thick clothes. 1. Insert the air plug into the air jack securely. 2. Wrap the arm cuff firmly in place around your left upper arm. The bottom edge of the arm cuff should be 1/2 inch (1 to 2 cm) above the elbow. Air tube is on the inside of your arm and aligned with your middle finger.
USING THE DEVICE 3. Secure closed with the fabric fastener. Notes: • When you take a measurement on the right arm, the air tube will be at the side of your elbow. Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube. • The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm, and the measured blood pressure values can be different. OMRON recommends to always use the same arm for measurement.
USING THE DEVICE How to Sit Correctly To take a measurement, you need to be relaxed and comfortably seated, under comfortable room temperature. Avoid bathing, drinking alcohol or caffeine, smoking, exercising or eating 30 minutes before taking a measurement. • Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. • Sit upright with your back straight. • Sit with your back and arm being supported. • The arm cuff should be placed on your arm at the same level as your heart.
USING THE DEVICE 1. Press the START/STOP button. The arm cuff will start to inflate automatically. START INFLATE DEFLATE COMPLETE If your systolic pressure is more than 210 mmHg After the arm cuff starts to inflate, press and hold the START/STOP button until the monitor inflates 30 to 40 mmHg higher than your expected systolic pressure. Notes: • The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg. Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising where the arm cuff is applied.
USING THE DEVICE 2. Remove the arm cuff. 3. Press the START/STOP button to turn the monitor off. The monitor automatically stores the measurement result in its memory. It will automatically turn off after 2 minutes. Note: Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another measurement. Waiting between measurements allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to taking a measurement. DO NOT adjust medication based on measurement results from this blood pressure monitor.
USING THE DEVICE Using the Memory Function The monitor automatically stores the results up to 14 sets. Note: If the memory is full, the monitor will delete the oldest value. To View the Measurement Values Stored in Memory 1. Press the button. The Memory number appears for a second before the pulse rate is displayed. The newest set is numbered “1”. 2. Press the button repeatedly to view the values stored in memory. To Delete All the Values Stored in Memory 1.
ERROR MESSAGES AND TROUBLESHOOTING Error Messages Error Display Cause Solution Irregular heartbeats are detected. Remove the arm cuff. Wait 2 - 3 minutes and then take another measurement. Repeat the steps in “Taking a Measurement”. If this error continues to appear, contact your physician. Movement during measurement. Carefully read and repeat the steps in “Taking a Measurement”. The batteries are low. You should replace the batteries with new ones ahead of time. Refer to “Battery Installation”.
ERROR MESSAGES AND TROUBLESHOOTING Error Display Cause Solution Movement during measurement and the arm cuff has not been inflated sufficiently. Repeat measurement. Remain still and do not talk during measurement. Refer to “Taking a Measurement”. If “E2” appears repeatedly, inflate the arm cuff manually until it is 30 to 40 mmHg above your previous measurement result. Refer to “Taking a Measurement”.
ERROR MESSAGES AND TROUBLESHOOTING Troubleshooting Problem Cause and Solution No power. No display appears on the monitor. Replace all batteries with new ones. Check the battery installation for proper placement of the battery polarities. Refer to “Battery Installation”. Measurement values appear too high or too low. Blood pressure varies constantly. Many factors including stress, time of day, and how you wrap the cuff, may affect your blood pressure.
