Omron BP7250 - 5 Series Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor Manual

Introduction

This monitor can be used by multiple users. This blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means this monitor detects your blood movement through your brachial artery and converts the movements into a digital reading.

Follow this instruction manual thoroughly for your safety.
Keep for future reference. For specific information about your own blood pressure, CONSULT WITH YOUR PHYSICIAN.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

Data Transmission

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury to the user or patient, or cause 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 arterio-venous (A-V) shunt, is present because of temporary interference to blood flow which 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 emits electromagnetic fields is within 12 inches (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.
• 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 10.
• 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 of the monitor 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, 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 of operating and storage/transport temperature, refer to section 10.
• DO NOT use this monitor after the durable period has ended. Refer to section 10.
• 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 3 of this instruction manual for additional information.

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.

Classification of BP (Blood Pressure)

ACC/AHA 2017 Hypertension guidelines define categories of BP in adults as below.

Categories of BP in Adults*

BP Category	Systolic BP	Diastolic BP
Normal	< 120 mmHg and < 80 mmHg
Elevated	120 - 129 mmHg and< 80 mmHg
Hypertension
Stage 1	130 - 139 mmHg or 80 - 89 mmHg
Stage 2	140 mmHg or 90 mmHg

* Individuals with Systolic BP and Diastolic BP in 2 categories should be designated to the higher BP category.
BP indicates blood pressure (based on an average of • 2 careful readings obtained on • 2 occasions).

Blood Pressure Measurement Tips

To help ensure an accurate reading, follow these directions:

Applying the Arm Cuff Note

Note

• The following steps are for applying the arm cuff to your left arm. When you take a measurement on your right arm, follow the cuff wrap instructions for a right arm use mentioned under "To take a measurement on your right arm" located at the end of this sub-section.
• The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm, and the measured blood pressure readings can be different. OMRON recommends to always use the same arm for measurement. If the readings between both arms differ substantially, check with your physician to determine as to which arm to use for your measurements.

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

To take a measurement on your right arm
When you take a measurement on your right arm, the air tube should run along the side of your elbow, along the bottom of your arm. Be careful not to rest your arm on the air tube.

Sitting Correctly

To take a measurement, you need to be relaxed and comfortably seated in a room at a comfortable temperature. Place your arm on the table.

Using Your Monitor without a Smart Device

Taking a Measurement

You can use your monitor without pairing to a smart device. To pair your monitor with a smart device.

Note

• To stop the measurement, press the [START/STOP] button once to deflate the arm cuff.

• DO NOT use this monitor with other medical electrical (ME) equipment simultaneously. This may result in incorrect operation of the monitor and/ or cause an inaccurate reading.
• Remain still and DO NOT talk while taking a measurement.

„ Using the Guest Mode
The guest mode can be used to take a single measurement for another user.

Note

• No readings are stored in the memory.

„If your systolic pressure is more than 210 mmHg
If your systolic pressure is more than 210 mmHg, take a measurement manually.
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.

Note

• Do not inflate above 299 mmHg.

• Inflating to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising where the arm cuff is applied.

Using Your Monitor with a Smart Device

Pairing Your Monitor with a Smart Device

The date and time on your monitor will automatically be set when you pair your monitor with your smart device.
