Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON R2 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 a 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 travelling. It also stores up to 30 sets of measurement results in memory.

The OMRON Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor uses the oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This means the unit detects the pulse wave vibrations in the artery of your wrist and converts the oscillations into a digital reading. For comfortable controlled inflation without the need of pressure pre-setting or re-inflation the device uses its advanced “IntelliSense” technology.

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.

Intended Use

This product is designed to measure the blood pressure and pulse rate of people within the range of the designated wrist 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.

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