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.
Intended Use
This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and
pulse rate in adult patient population. The device detects the appearance of
irregular heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal with the
measurement result.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the device.
Please keep for future reference. For specific information about your own blood
pressure, CONSULT YOUR PHYSICIAN.
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.
Consult your physician before using the device for any of the following
conditions: common arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats or
atrial fibrillation, arterial sclerosis, poor perfusion, diabetes, age, pregnancy,
pre-eclampsia, renal diseases.
Note that PATIENT motion, trembling, shivering may affect the measurement
reading.
Do not use the device on the injured arm or the arm under medical treatment.
Do not apply the arm cuff on the arm while being on an intravenous drip or blood
transfusion.
Consult your physician before using the device on the arm with an arterio-venous
(A-V) shunt.
Do not use the device with other medical electrical (ME) equipment
simultaneously.
Do not use the device in the area the HF surgical equipment, MRI, or CT scanner
exists, or in the oxygen rich environment.
The air tube may cause accidental strangulation in infants.

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. It may cause bruising due to
blood flow interference.
•People with severe blood flow problems or blood disorders as cuff inflation can
cause bruising.
Remove the arm cuff if it does not start deflating during the measurement.
Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their intentions.
Do not use the device for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.
Use only the approved arm cuff for this device. Use of other arm cuffs may result
in incorrect measurement results.
Do not use a mobile phone or other devices that emit electromagnetic fields,
near the device. This may result in incorrect operation of the device.
Do not disassemble the monitor or arm cuff. This may cause an inaccurate
reading.
Do not use in a location with moisture, or a location where water may splash on
the device. This may damage the device.
Do not use the device in a moving vehicle (car, airplane).
Read "If your systolic pressure is more than 210 mmHg" of this instruction
manual, if your systolic pressure is known to be more than 210 mmHg. Inflating
to a higher pressure than necessary may result in bruising where the arm cuff is
applied.
(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.
• To unplug the air plug, pull on the air plug at the connection with the monitor, not
the tube itself.
• Do not drop the monitor or subject device to strong shocks or vibrations.
• Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.
• Do not use the device outside the specified environment. It may cause an
inaccurate reading.
• Dispose of the device, components and optional accessories according to
applicable local regulations. Unlawful disposal may cause environmental pollution.
1. Know Your Device

Display:
1.1 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.
If the irregular heartbeat symbol displays with your measurement results, we
recommend you consult your physician. Follow the directions of your
physician.
Movement Error Symbol ( )
The movement error symbol is displayed if you move your body during the
measurement. Please remove the arm cuff, and wait 2 - 3 minutes.
Take another measurement, remain still during measurement.
2013 ESH/ESC Guidelines for the management of arterial hypertension
Definitions of hypertension by office and home blood pressure levels
These are from statistical values for blood pressure.
1.2 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. Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor. Rest your arm on a table so
that the arm cuff is at the same level as your heart.
6. Remain still and do not talk during the measurement.
7. Keep a record of your blood pressure and pulse readings for your
physician. A single measurement does not provide an accurate indication of
your true blood pressure. You need to take and record several readings
over a period of time. Try to measure your blood pressure at the same time
each day for consistency.
2. Preparation
2.1 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.
• Dispose of the device, components and optional accessories according to
applicable local regulations. Unlawful disposal may cause environmental
pollution.
3. Using the Device
3.1 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

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.
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. If the values between both
arms differ substantially, please check with your physician which arm to use
for your measurements.
3.2 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.
