Omron EVOLV Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor BP7000 Manual

Omron EVOLV Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor [BP7000] Instruction Manual

INTRODUCTION

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON BP7000 Blood Pressure Monitor. Your new blood pressure monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects your blood movement through your brachial artery and converts the movements into a digital reading. An oscillometric monitor does not need a stethoscope so the monitor is simple to use.

INTENDED USE

This device is a digital monitor intended for use in measuring blood pressure and pulse rate in adult patient population with arm circumference ranging from 9 inches to 17 inches (22 cm to 42 cm). The device detects the appearance of irregular heartbeats during measurement and gives a warning signal with readings.

In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) with the aim to
prevent unsafe product situations, the IEC60601-1-2 standard has been implemented. This standard defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum
levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical devices.

Medical devices manufactured by OMRON Healthcare conform to this IEC60601-1-2:2007
standard for both immunity and emissions.
Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:

• The use of accessories and cables other than those specified by OMRON, with the exception of cables sold by OMRON as replacement parts for internal components, may result in increased emission or decreased immunity of the device.
• The medical devices should not be used adjacent to or stacked with other equipment.
  In case adjacent or stacked use is necessary, the medical device should be observed to verify normal operation in the configuration in which it will be used.
• Refer to further guidance below regarding the EMC environment in which the device should be used.
• The MEDICAL ELECTRICAL EQUIPMENT BPM needs special precautions regarding EMC and needs to be installed and put into service according to the EMC information provided in this documentations.
• The Essential Performance of the BPM is to measure a blood pressure and a pulse rate and using the memory function.

The BPM may be interfered with by other equipment, even if that other equipment complies with CISPR EMISSION requirements.
