Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON IW2 Automatic Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor.

This remarkable, compact and easy to use instrument is ideal for people who frequently monitor their own blood pressure. The small, pre-formed wrist cuff is very convenient and easy to apply.

With the push of a button the OMRON Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor measures your blood pressure and pulse and displays the reading on a clear digital panel. Perfect for quick, easy readings at home, at work, and while traveling. It also stores up to 90 sets of measurements in memory and displays an average reading based on the three most recent measurements.

The OMRON Wrist Monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means the monitor detects the pulse wave vibrations in the artery of your wrist and converts the oscillations into a digital reading.

Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood pressure in the wrist and blood pressure in the arm. Changes in wrist blood pressure reflect changes in arm blood pressure because the arteries in the wrist and the arm are connected.

Frequently measuring the blood pressure in your wrist will provide you and your doctor with an accurate indication of changes in your true blood pressure.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the unit. For specific information about your own blood pressure, consult your doctor.

Notes on Safety

The OMRON IW2 is not suitable for measuring the frequency of cardiac pacemakers. You should never change the dosage of medication prescribed by your doctor. People with poor peripheral circulation may find that results for measurements taken at the wrist vary from those taken on the upper arm. Use the OMRON IW2 only for yourself.

Caution

Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are dangerous. Please follow the instructions of your doctor.

Do not use the unit on infants or persons who cannot express their consent.

Do not use the unit for any purpose other than measuring blood pressure.

Do not use a cellular phone, or other devices that emit electromagnetic fields, near the unit. This may result in incorrect operation of the unit.

Battery liquid may leak and damage the main unit. Please observe the following points.

• When you are not going to use the unit for a long period of time (approximately three months or more), take out the batteries.

• Replace old batteries with new ones immediately.

• Do not use old and new batteries together.

• Do not insert the batteries with their polarities incorrectly aligned.

Suggestions for Measuring Blood Pressure

Avoid eating, drinking, smoking, or exercising for at least 30 minutes before taking a measurement. You should also try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day. Measurement should be taken in a quiet place and you should be in a relaxed, seated position.

1. Align the wrist cuff with the level of your heart

and gently support your left arm with your right hand. Do not place your right hand on the cuff itself.

2. Press the START/STOP button.

Remain quiet, sit still and do not talk during the measurement.

Notes:

* Always wait at least 2-3 minutes before taking another blood pressure

measurement.

You may require more rest time between readings depending on your individual physiological characteristics.

* Only use the IW2 to measure your own blood pressure since the results

of measurements are stored in memory.

* Always wrap the wrist cuff around your wrist before starting to take a

measurement. * Do not measure your blood pressure while you are in a vehicle. * Always measure your blood pressure on the same wrist.

Battery Installation/Replacement

Initial Set-Up

1. Remove the battery cover by pulling it off in the direction of the arrow.

2. Insert two AAA batteries in the battery compartment, so that their polarities match the polarities of the battery compartment as indicated.

3. Replace the battery cover.

Note:

* Make sure that the battery cover is securely in

position.

Caution:

* Use two identical 1.5V AAA batteries.

Note:

* The measurement values continue to be stored in memory even after the
