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 follow this instruction manual thoroughly for your safety.
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.

2.1 Installing/Replacing the Batteries
2. Preparation
1.
2.
Remove the battery cover.
Insert four “AA” batteries
as indicated in the battery
compartment and then
replace the battery cover.
Notes:
• If the low battery symbol ( ) appears on the display, turn the
monitor off then replace all batteries at the same time.
• The measurement values continue to be stored in memory even after
the batteries are replaced.
• The supplied batteries may have a shorter life.
Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance with the
national regulations for the disposal of batteries.
The bottom edge of the arm
cuff should be 1 to 2 cm
above the elbow. The air
tube is centred on the
middle of your inner arm.

3.3 Taking a Measurement
3.4 Using the Memory Function
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.
Notes:
• To cancel a measurement, press the START/STOP button to release
the air in the arm cuff.
• Remain still and do not talk while taking a measurement.
Press the START/STOP button.
The arm cuff will start to inflate automatically.
3.2 How to Sit Correctly
To take a measurement, you need to be
relaxed and comfortably seated at
comfortable room temperature.
• Sit on a chair with your legs uncrossed and
your feet flat on the floor.
• Sit with your back and arm being supported.
• The arm cuff should be placed on your arm
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.

The monitor automatically stores the result up to 30 sets.
Note: If the memory is full, the monitor will delete the oldest reading.

1. Insert the air plug into the air jack
securely.
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
return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure
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.

results are affected by irregular heartbeats but the result is valid, the
result is shown together with the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ). If
the irregular heartbeats cause the measurement to be invalid, no
result is shown. If the irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown after
you have taken a measurement, repeat the measurement. If the
irregular heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown frequently, please make
your doctor aware of it.
Systolic Blood Pressure Above 135 mmHg
Diastolic Blood Pressure Above 85 mmHg
• If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside
the standard range, the heartbeat symbol will
blink when the measurement result is displayed.
Recent research suggests that the following
values can be used as a guide to high blood
pressure for measurements taken at home.
Important:
This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.
Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement
results and self-treatment are dangerous.
Notes:
• If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside the
standard range, the heartbeat symbol will blink
when the measurement result is displayed.
• The cuff wrapping guide result appears on the
display with the measurement values.
• If there are no measurements results stored in
the memory, the screen to the right is displayed.
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 doctor. Only a
doctor is qualified to diagnose and treat High Blood Pressure.
• Consult your doctor before using this monitor for any of the following
conditions: common arrhythmias such as atrial or ventricular premature beats

scanner exists, or in the oxygen rich environment. This may result in incorrect
operation of the monitor and/or cause an inaccurate reading.
• The air tube or the AC adapter cable may cause accidental strangulation in
infants.
• Contains small parts that may cause a choking hazard if swallowed by
infants.
• Stop using this monitor and consult your doctor if you experience skin
irritation or other troubles.
(AC Adapter (optional) Usage)
• Do not use the AC adapter if this monitor or the power cord is damaged. Turn
off the power and unplug the power cord immediately.

- People with severe blood flow problems or blood disorders as cuff inflation
can cause bruising.
• Do not take measurements more than necessary. It may cause bruising due
to blood flow interference.
• If there are any abnormalities during the measurement, remove the arm cuff.
• Do not use this monitor on infants or persons who cannot express their
intentions.
• Do not inflate the arm cuff more than necessary.
• Do not use this monitor for any purpose other than measuring blood
pressure.
• Use only the approved arm cuff for this monitor. Use of other arm cuffs may
result in incorrect measurement results.

devices that emit electromagnetic fields is within 30cm of this monitor. This
may result in incorrect operation of the monitor and/or cause an inaccurate
reading.
• 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 this monitor. This may damage this monitor.
• Do not use this monitor in a moving vehicle (car, airplane).
(Battery Usage)
• Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.

• Do not forcibly bend the arm cuff or bend the air tube excessively.
• Do not fold or kink the air tube while taking a measurement. This may cause
harmful injury by interrupting blood flow.
• To unplug the air plug, pull on the air plug at the connection with the monitor,
not the tube itself.
• Do not apply strong shocks and vibrations to or drop the monitor and arm
cuff.
• Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.

To the right of machine it says intelli sense, what does it mean when 3 hearts overlap each other
The "IntelliSense" technology on the Omron HEM-7121 sphygmomanometer ensures comfortable controlled inflation without the need for pressure pre-setting or re-inflation. When 3 hearts overlap each other, it indicates that the blood pressure is out of the recommended range.
