Thank you for purchasing the OMRON HEM-7200 Automatic Blood Pressure 
Monitor.

The OMRON HEM-7200 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 devices uses its advanced 
“IntelliSense” technology. 

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.

Do not place the cuff over thick clothes.

3.2   How to Sit Correctly

To take a measurement, you need to be 
relaxed and comfortably seated, under 
comfortable room temperature. No eating, 
smoking or exercising 30 minutes before 
taking a measurement.

• Sit on a chair with your feet flat on the floor.
• Sit upright with your back straight.
• The cuff should be at the same level as your 

heart.

1 to 2 cm

• 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 the two arms differ substantially, 
please check with your doctor which arm to use for your 
measurement.

1.

2.

Remove the arm cuff.

3.

Press the START/STOP button to turn off the monitor.
The monitor automatically stores the measurement in its 
memory.
It will automatically turn off after five minutes.

The monitor automatically stores the result up to 60 sets. It can also 
calculate an average reading based on the measurements from the last 
three readings taken within 10 minutes. If there are only two readings in 
memory for that period, the average will be based on two readings. If 
there is one reading in memory for that period, the average will be 
based on one reading.
Notes:
• If the memory is full, the monitor will delete the oldest readings.
• When viewing the reading taken without setting the date and time, 

“-:--” is displayed instead of the date and time.

Note:  Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure 

measurement. Waiting between readings allows the arteries to 
return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure 
measurement.

Note:  You cannot partially delete the stored readings.

When the memory symbol (    ) appears, first press the Memory 
button. Then while holding it down, press the START/STOP button 
simultaneously for about 2-3 seconds.

Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are dangerous. 
Please follow the instructions of your doctor.
