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.
