INTRODUCTION
Thank you for purchasing the Omron IntelliSense™ Automatic Blood
Pressure Monitor with Easy Wrap Cuff, HEM-773AC. 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 press 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.
NOTE:
This device is a digital monitor intended for the use in measuring
blood pressure and pulse rate in adult population with the arm
circumference ranging from 9 inches to 17 inches (from 23 cm to 43 cm).

HOW TO TAKE A READING
If you are going to use the unit’s memory function
USER
to automatically store the measurement values, you
need to choose user A or B on the User Selector
before starting a measurement.
1. Press the ON/OFF button.
a) All display symbols appear for
approximately one second.
b) When the monitor becomes ready
to measure, the Heart Symbol (
appears on the display.
)
2. Press the START button and remain still.
As the cuff begins to inflate, the monitor
automatically determines your ideal
inflation level. Because this monitor
detects the pulse even during inflation,
do not move your arm and remain still
until the entire measurement completes.
• If you want to stop the inflation or
measurement, press the ON/OFF button.
The monitor will stop inflating and start
deflating rapidly, and the monitor
will turn off.
3. Inflation stops automatically
and measurement is started.
As the cuff slowly deflates, decreasing
numbers appear on the display and the
Heart Symbol ( ) flashes at every
heartbeat. In rare circumstances, a higher
inflation may be necessary. In those
cases, the monitor reinflates the cuff up
to 30 mmHg higher than initial inflation
and restarts the measurement.
