Introduction
Arm cuff:
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON HEM-7121 Automatic Blood Pressure
Monitor.
G
The OMRON HEM-7121 is a compact, fully automatic blood pressure monitor,
operating on the oscillometric principle. It measures your blood pressure and
pulse rate simply and quickly. For comfortable controlled inflation without the
need of pressure pre-setting or re-inflation the device uses its advanced

• When handling the power cord, observe the following:
Do not damage.
Do not break it.
Do not tamper with it.
Do not forcibly bend or pull.
Do not twist.
Do not bundle during use.
Do not pinch.
Do not place under heavy objects.

• Use only the original AC adapter designed for this unit. Use of unsupported
adapters may damage and/or may be hazardous to the unit.
General Precautions
• Do not forcibly bend the arm cuff or bend the air tube excessively.
• To unplug the air plug, pull on the air plug at the connection with the main
unit, not the tube itself.
• Do not apply strong shocks and vibrations to or drop the unit and arm cuff.
• Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.

After the arm cuff starts to inflate, press and hold the START/STOP

Notes:
• The monitor will not inflate above 299 mmHg.
• Do not apply more pressure than necessary.
Note: Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure
measurement. Waiting between readings allows the arteries to
return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure
measurement.
Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement
results and self-treatment are dangerous.

The Cuff Wrapping Guide is a unique feature that indicates if the cuff
is not wrapped tightly enough around the arm. Even when the

• This device fulfils the provisions of EC directive 93/42/EEC (Medical Device
Directive).
• This blood pressure monitor is designed according to the European Standard
EN1060, Non-invasive sphygmomanometers Part 1: General Requirements
and Part 3: Supplementary requirements for electromechanical blood
pressure measuring systems.

Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)
With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC's and mobile
(cellular) telephones, medical devices in use may be susceptible to
electromagnetic interference from other devices. Electromagnetic interference
may result in incorrect operation of the medical device and create a potentially
unsafe situation.
Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.
In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility)
with the aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the EN60601-1-2:2007
standard has been implemented. This standard defines the levels of immunity to
electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic
emissions for medical devices.
This medical device manufactured by OMRON HEALTHCARE conforms to this
EN60601-1-2:2007 standard for both immunity and emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:
• Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices, which generate
strong electrical or electromagnetic fields, near the medical device. This may
result in incorrect operation of the unit and create a potentially unsafe situation.
Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of 7 m. Verify correct operation
of the device in case the distance is shorter.
Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2007 is available at
OMRON HEALTHCARE EUROPE at the address mentioned in this instruction
manual.
Documentation is also available at www.omron-healthcare.com.
