Introduction
Introduction
Thank you for purchasing the OMRON i-Q142 Intellisense SpotArm™ Type Upper Arm Blood Pressure Monitor.
The OMRON i-Q142 Intellisense is a 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 for pressure pre-setting or reinflation the device uses its advanced “Intellisense” technology.
The adjustable cuff angle corrects the body posture which tends to be stooped. The elbow rest stabilizes the position and keeps the arm at the most appropriate angle.
By simply placing the arm through the cuff, it automatically wraps around your arm to the appropriate size and starts to measure your blood pressure and pulse rate.
The monitor stores measurement results for two people and features
morning and evening averages.
EN
Omron's blood pressure management software and printer are optional. The software allows you to view, manage and print data about blood pressure measured by the OMRON i-Q142 Intellisense. Software is in English only.
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit. For specific information about your own blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.
