Fill-in for future reference DATE PURCHASED: ______________ SERIAL NUMBER: ________________ Staple your purchase receipt here. The monitor features an easy-to-squeeze inflation bulb that allows you to quickly inflate the cuff. The measurement reading is clearly displayed on a large digital panel. Omron digital blood pressure monitors use 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. An oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use. The ReliOn HEM-412CREL Manual Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor is intended for home use. SAVE THESE INSTRUCTIONS 3 IMPORTANT SAFETY NOTES To assure the correct use of the product basic safety measures should always be followed including the precautions listed below: • Read all information in the instruction book and any other literature included in the box before using the unit. • Contact your physician for specific information about your blood pressure. Follow the instructions of your healthcare provider. • Operate the unit only as intended. Do not use for any other purpose. • The unit is intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in adult patient population. Do not use on infants. • Do not use a cellular phone near the unit. It may result in operational failure. • Changes or modifications not approved by Omron Healthcare will void the user warranty. Do not disassemble or attempt to repair the unit or components. 4 KNOW YOUR UNIT Systolic Blood Pressure Display MEMORY Button ON/Off Button Air Release Button Air Inflation Bulb Arm Cuff Diastolic Blood Pressure / Pulse rate Display Air Tube Air Plug Air Tube (Connects to the air plug) Air Plug Air Tube (Connects to the air plug) 5 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 inch 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. Insert one finger under cuff to check fit. Press the sewn hook material firmly against the pile side of the cuff. Make sure that your skin will not be pinched in the D-ring once you inflate the cuff. Immediately deflate the cuff and readjust it if skin becomes pinched. 4. Sit in a chair with your feet flat on the floor and place your left arm on a table so that the cuff is at the same level as your heart. 5. Turn the monitor on, and after the Ready To Measure Symbol ( ) appears next to a zero on the digital panel, rapidly squeeze the inflation bulb to inflate the cuff. Stop pumping when the numbers on the display are approximately 40 mmHg higher than your normal systolic blood pressure. Do not inflate higher than 280 mmHg. 6. The cuff will deflate automatically. Remain still throughout the entire reading. 7. When measurement is complete, the monitor alternately displays your blood pressure/pulse rate on the digital panel. Press the Air Release Button to remove air in the cuff. 8. Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure measurement. 6 A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE Blood pressure is the force on the walls of your blood vessels as blood flows through them. Your heart is like a pump. When it contracts, or beats, it sends a surge of blood through the blood vessels and pressure increases. This is called your systolic pressure. When your heart relaxes between beats, your blood pressure decreases. This is called your diastolic pressure. When a doctor takes your blood pressure, he or she measures both your systolic and diastolic pressures and records them as numbers. For example, if your blood pressure reading is 120/76 (120 over 76), your systolic is 120 and your diastolic is 76. The numbers are expressed in millimeters of mercury 120/76 mmHg. Heart Contracts (Pressure Increases) Heart Relaxes (Pressure Decreases) Systolic (Upper Number) Diastolic (Lower Number) 7 A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE These two numbers provide important information about your health. When blood pressure is consistently above normal it is called hypertension (high blood pressure). Your new ReliOn HEM-412CREL Manual Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor measures your systolic and diastolic blood pressure for you, then displays the results on an easy-to-read digital panel! 8 A FEW WORDS ABOUT BLOOD PRESSURE Your blood pressure changes constantly. Blood pressure changes from day to day and minute to minute according to your body’s condition. For example, when you are exercising or angry your blood pressure increases, but when you are relaxing or sleeping your blood pressure decreases. These changes are completely normal. Your ReliOn HEM-412CREL Manual Inflation Blood Pressure Monitor is especially helpful when tracking changes in blood pressure because it travels anywhere and...
