Thank you for purchasing the OMRON HEM-7121 Automatic Blood Pressure
Monitor.
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
“IntelliSense” technology.
Intended Use
This product is designed to measure the blood pressure and pulse rate of
people within the range of the designated arm cuff, following the instructions in
this instruction manual.
It is mainly designed for general household use. Please read the Important
Safety Information in this instruction manual before using the unit.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit.
Please keep for future reference.
For specific information about your own blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR
DOCTOR.
Consult your doctor prior to using in pregnancy or if diagnosed with arrhythmia
or arteriosclerosis.
Please read this section carefully before using the unit.
Warning:
Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,
could result in death or serious injury.
(General Usage)
• Do not use the device on the injured arm or the arm under medical treatment.
• Do not wrap the arm cuff on the arm while being on an intravenous drip or
blood transfusion.
(AC Adapter (optional) Usage)
• Do not use the AC adapter if the unit or the power cord is damaged. Turn off
the power and unplug the power cord immediately.
• Plug the AC adapter into the appropriate voltage outlet. Do not use a
multiple-tap.
• Never plug in or unplug the power cord from the electric outlet with wet
hands.
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 doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and
self-treatment are dangerous.
• People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should consult a
doctor before using the unit, as cuff inflation can cause internal bleeding.
• If there are any abnormalities during the measurement, remove the arm cuff.
• Do not use this device on infants or persons who cannot express their
intentions.
• Do not inflate the arm cuff more than necessary.
• Do not use the unit for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.
• Use only the approved arm cuff for this unit. 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 unit. This may result in incorrect operation of the unit.
• Do not disassemble the unit or arm cuff.
(Battery Usage)
• Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.
• Use only four “AA” alkaline or manganese batteries with this unit. Do not use
other types of batteries. Do not use new and used batteries together.
• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for 3 months or more.
(AC Adapter (optional) Usage)
• Fully insert the power plug.
• When disconnecting the power plug, do not pull the power cord. Be sure to
hold the power plug.
• 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.
• Wipe the dust off from the power plug.
• Disconnect the power pl
ug if the product will not be used for a long period of
time.
• Disconnect the power plug before starting maintenance.
• 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.
• Read and follow the “Important information regarding Electro Magnetic
Compatibility (EMC)” in the Technical Data Section.
• Read and follow the “Correct Disposal of This Product” in
the Technical Data
Section when disposing of the device and any used accessories or optional
parts.
Important Safety Information
Note: Subject to technical modification without prior notice.
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.
This marking shown on the product or its literature, indicates that it
should not be disposed of, with other household wastes at the end
of its working life. To prevent possible harm to the environment or
human health from uncontrolled waste disposal, please separate
this product from other types of wastes and recycle it responsibly to
promote the sustainable reuse of material resources.
Household users should contact either the retailer where they purchased this
product, or their local government office, for details of where and how they can
return this item for environmentally safe recycling.
Business users should contact their supplier and check the terms and conditions
of the purchase contract. This product should not be mixed with other commercial
wastes for disposal.

3.2 How to Sit Correctly
To take a measurement, you need to be
relaxed and comfortably seated, under
comfortable room temperature. No
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.
• The arm cuff should be at the same level as
your heart.
• The blood pressure can differ between the right arm and the left arm,
and therefore also 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 doctor which arm to use for your
measurement.

3.1 Applying the Arm Cuff
Remove tight-fitting clothing or tight rolled up sleeve from your
upper arm. Do not place the arm cuff over thick clothes.
2.
Remove the arm cuff.
3.
Press the START/STOP button to turn the monitor off.
The monitor automatically stores the measurement in its memory.
It will automatically turn off after 2 minutes.
Note: Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure
measurement. Waiting between readings allows the arteries to

measurement.
Note: This reading is
NOT
reliable due to the incorrect wrapping of the
cuff. Please wrap the cuff again, taking care to wrap it correctly
and take the measurement again. When the is displayed, the
cuff is correctly wrapped tightly enough on the arm and the
reading is accurate and reliable.
The Cuff Wrapping Guide is a unique feature that indicates if the cuff
is not wrapped tightly enough around the arm. Even when the
appears on the display, a blood pressure reading will be taken.
