Automatic Blood
Pressure Monitor
Model HEM-7124
Instruction Manual
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON HEM-7124 Automatic Blood Pressure
Monitor.
The OMRON HEM-7124 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 device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and
pulse rate in adult patient population who can understand this instruction manual
with the arm circumference range printed on the arm cuff. 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.

These are form statistical values for blood pressure.
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 depleted battery symbol ( ) appears on the display, turn the
monitor off and remove all the batteries. Replace with 4 new 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.
• The supplied batteries may have a shorter life.
Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance with the
national/local regulations for the disposal of batteries.
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, 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 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 legs uncrossed and
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.
3.3 Taking a Measurement
Notes:
• To stop a measurement, press the START/STOP button once to release
the air in the arm cuff.
• Remain still while taking a measurement.
1. Press the START/STOP button.
The arm cuff will start to inflate automatically.
2. Remove the arm cuff.
3. Press the START/STOP button to turn the monitor off.
The monitor automatically stores the measurement result in its memory.
It will automatically turn off after 2 minutes.
Note: Wait 2-3 minutes before taking another measurement. Waiting between
measurements allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to
taking a measurement.
Always consult your physician. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and
self-treatment are dangerous.
3.4 Using the Memory Function
The monitor automatically stores the last measurement values (blood
pressure and pulse rate).
To View the Measurement Values Stored in Memory
1. Press and hold the START/STOP button for
more than 5 seconds.
The last measurement value is displayed along with
the memory symbol.
Notes:
• If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside the standard
range, the heartbeat symbol will blink when the measurement
result is displayed.
• If there are no measurements results stored in the memory,
the screen to the right is displayed.
2. Press the START/STOP button to turn the monitor off.
It will automatically turn off after 2 minutes.
To Delete the Values Stored in Memory
Press and hold the START/STOP button for
more than 15 seconds.

(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.
Consult your physician before using the device in pregnancy including
pre-eclampsia, or if diagnosed with arrhythmia or arteriosclerosis.
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.
Contained small parts that may cause a choking hazard if swallowed by 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.
People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should consult a
physician before using the device, as the arm 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).
Do not take measurements more than necessary. It may cause bruising due to
blood flow interference.
Consult your physician before using the device if you had a mastectomy.
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 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
