Omron Healthcare HEM-711 instruction manual Introduction, Contact Your Physician

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the Omron Automatic Blood Pressure Monitor with IntelliSense™ , HEM-711. Although your blood pressure fluctuates throughout the day, no self-adjustment is necessary as the monitor intelligently adjusts to your changing conditions. The IntelliSense™ monitor uses fuzzy logic intelligence to sense both your systolic and diastolic blood pressure values, and the result is personalized inflation with every reading. Arm discomfort and misreading due to improper cuff inflation are virtually eliminated.

Your new OMRON monitor uses 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. At the push of a button, the monitor automatically fills the cuff with air, starts deflation, then displays your systolic, diastolic, and pulse readings on an extra large display panel.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using this unit. For specific information on your own blood pressure,

CONTACT YOUR PHYSICIAN.
