Omron HCG-801 Heart Rate Monitor User Manual


 
In order to obtain a good ECG reading, it is important that measurements are taken correctly.
Before taking a measurement for the first time, read these instructions carefully and make sure you observe
the following points each time you take a measurement.
Make sure that the electrodes are directly touching your skin.
If your hands or skin is dry, wipe them with a damp towel so that they are slightly moist.
If the electrodes are dirty, wipe any dirt off with a soft cloth or a cotton swab moistened with
disinfectant alcohol.
- Do not use too much disinfectant alcohol when cleaning the electrodes.
- Do not use disinfectant alcohol to clean the unit except the electrodes.
Do not move during measurement.
- Movement including talking, coughing, or sneezing during measurement can affect the
measurement results.
If the position of your finger or arm is inappropriate during measurement, the results may be
inaccurate, so be sure to check their positions before taking a measurement. (Refer to page 25.)
After taking a measurement, disinfect the electrodes by wiping them with a soft cloth or cotton swab
moistened with disinfectant alcohol. If you do not disinfect the electrodes there is a risk of skin
disease.
NOTE: If you have difficulty applying the unit so that the chest electrode is flat against your chest, please
ask your doctor for advice.
