scanners. This may result in incorrect operation of the monitor and/or cause an inaccurate reading.
DO NOT use this monitor in oxygen rich environments or near flammable gas.
Consult with your physician before using this monitor if you have common arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or atrial fibrillation; arterial
sclerosis; poor perfusion; diabetes; pregnancy; pre-eclampsia or renal disease. NOTE that any of these conditions in addition to patient motion, trembling, or shivering
may affect the measurement reading.

2.2 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.
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 arteriovenous (A-V) shunt, is present because of
temporary interference to blood flow and 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 emit electromagnetic fields is within 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 or on an aircraft.
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 6.
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 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 or thick clothing from your arm while taking measurements.
Remain still and DO NOT talk while taking measurements.
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 on
operating and storage/transport temperature, refer to section 6.
DO NOT use this monitor after the durable period has ended. Refer to section 6.
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 maybe 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
