Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON HEM-7203 Automatic Blood Pressure
Monitor.
The OMRON HEM-7203 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 devices 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 read the Important
Safety Information in this instruction manual before using the unit.

3. Position the arm correctly.
Storage case:

The monitor automatically stores the result up to 30 sets. It can also
calculate an average reading based on the measurements from the last
three readings taken within 10 minutes. If there are only two readings in
memory for that period, the average will be based on two readings. If
there is one reading in memory for that period, the average will be
based on one reading.
Notes:
• If the memory is full, the monitor will delete the oldest readings.
• When viewing the reading taken without setting the date and time,
“-:--” is displayed instead of the date and time.

2. Preparation
Notes:
• When you take a measurement on the right
arm, 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,
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 the two arms differ substantially,
please check with your doctor which arm to use for your
measurement.
2.1 Installing/Replacing the Batteries
1. Remove the battery cover.
3.2 How to Sit Correctly
To take a measurement, you need to be
relaxed and comfortably seated, under
comfortable room temperature. No eating,
smoking or exercising 30 minutes before
taking a measurement.
2. Insert four “AA” batteries
as indicated in the battery
compartment and then
replace the battery cover.
Notes:
• If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display, turn the unit off
then replace all batteries at the same time.
• The measurement values continue to be stored in memory even after
the batteries are replaced.

Important:
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit.
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.
Please read this section carefully before using the unit.
Warning:
• Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result
in death or serious injury.
(General Usage)
• Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and
self-treatment are dangerous.
• People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should consult a
doctor before using the unit, as cuff inflation can cause internal bleeding.
(AC Adapter Usage)
• Never plug in or unplug the power cord from the electric outlet with wet
hands.
(Battery Usage)
• If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of clean
water. Consult a doctor immediately.
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)
• Do not leave the unit unattended with infants or persons who cannot express
their consent.
• Do not use the unit for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.
• Do not disassemble the unit or arm cuff.
• Use only the approved arm cuff for this unit. Use of other arm cuffs may result
in incorrect measurement results.
• Make sure that the air tube is not wrapped around other parts of your body
when taking measurements at night. This could result in injury when the air
pressure in the air tube is increased.
• Do not leave the cuff wrapped on the arm if taking measurements during the
night. This could result in injury.
• Do not inflate the arm cuff over 299 mmHg.
• Do not use a mobile phone or other devices that emit electromagnetic fields,
near the unit. This may result in incorrect operation of the unit.
• Do not operate the unit in a moving vehicle (car, airplane).
• To inflate the cuff manually, refer to Section 3.3. If the cuff is over inflated, it
can cause internal bleeding.
(AC Adapter Usage)
• Use only the original AC adapter (optional) designed for this unit. Use of
unsupported adapters may damage and/or may be hazardous to the unit.
• Plug the AC adapter into the appropriate voltage outlet. Do not use a
multiple-tap.
• Do not use the AC adapter if the unit or the power cord is damaged. Turn off
the power and unplug the power cord immediately.
(Battery Usage)
• If battery fluid should get on your skin or clothing, immediately rinse with
plenty of clean water.
• Use only four “AA” alkaline or manganese batteries with this unit. Do not use
other types of batteries.
• Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.
• Replace old batteries with new ones immediately. Replace all four batteries at
the same time.
• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or more.
• Do not use new and used batteries together.
General Precautions
• Do not apply strong shocks and vibrations to or drop the unit and arm cuff.
• Do not take measurements after bathing, drinking alcohol, smoking,
exercising or eating.
• Do not forcibly bend the arm cuff or bend the air tube excessively.
• When removing the air tube, pull on the air plug at the connection with the
main unit not the tube itself.
• Do not inflate the arm cuff when it is not wrapped around your arm.
• Do not wash the arm cuff or immerse it in water.
• Read and follow the “Important information regarding Electro Magnetic
Compatibility (EMC)” in the Technical Data Section.
• Read and follow the “Correct Disposal of This Product” in the Technical Data
Section when disposing of the device and any used accessories or optional
parts.

measurement. Waiting between readings allows the arteries to
return to the condition prior to taking the blood pressure
measurement.
• Press the START/STOP button and repeat
measurement.
• If the problem continues, try replacing the
batteries with new ones.
If this still does not solve the problem, contact
your OMRON retail outlet or distributor.
• Do not subject the main unit and the cuff to extreme
temperatures, humidity, moisture or direct sunlight.
• Do not fold the cuff or tubing tightly.
• Do not inflate the arm cuff over 299 mmHg.
• Do not disassemble the unit.
• Do not subject the unit to strong shocks or vibrations
(for example, dropping the unit on the floor).
• Do not use volatile liquids to clean the main unit. The
unit should be cleaned with a soft, dry cloth.
