Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON R3 Intellisense 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 42 sets of measurements in memory and displays an average reading based on the three most recent measurements taken within 10 minutes of the last reading. (If there are only two readings in memory for that period, the average will be based on two readings. If there is one reading in memory for that period, the average will be based on one reading.)

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.

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.

Important Safety Information

Consult your doctor during pregnancy, arrhythmia and arteriosclerosis. 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 R3 Intellisense only for yourself.

Caution:

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

• Do not leave the unit unattended with 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.

• Do not operate unit in a moving vehicle (car, airplane).

• Do not disassemble the unit or wrist cuff.

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

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

- 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 batteries of a different type together.

- Do not use new and used batteries together.

• Do not take measurements when the cuff is not wrapped around your wrist.

• Do not expose the unit to strong shocks or vibrations. Do not drop the unit.

2.Preparation

3. Put the battery cover back in place.

Note: Be sure to set the date and time after installing or

replacing the batteries. Refer to “2.2 Setting the Date and Time”. The measurement values continue to be stored in memory even after the batteries are replaced.

Battery Life & Replacement

If the battery low symbol ( ) appears on the display, replace both batteries at the same time.

- When the battery low symbol ( ) starts to blink, you will still be able to use the unit for a short while. You should replace the batteries with new ones ahead of time.

- When the symbol ( ) remains lit, the batteries were exhausted. You should replace the batteries with new ones at once.

• Turn the unit off before replacing the batteries.

• Remove the batteries if the unit will not be used for three months or more.

• If the batteries are removed, the Date/Time setting will need to be reset. See “2.2 Setting the Date and Time” for details.

• Dispose of batteries according to applicable local regulations.

• Two new identical 1.5V “AAA” alkaline batteries will last for approximately 300 measurements, when used to take two measurements a day.

• Since the supplied batteries are for monitoring use only, they may have a shorter life and not last for 300 measurements.

2.Preparation

2.2 Setting the Date and Time

Your blood pressure monitor automatically stores up to 42 measurement values in its memory and calculates an average value based on the three most recent measurements taken within 10 minutes of the last reading. (If there are only two readings in memory for that period, the average will be based on two readings. If there is one reading in memory for that period, the average will be based on one reading.) To make use of the memory and average value function:

• Set the unit to the correct date and time before taking a measurement for the first time.

• If the batteries have been removed, the date and time setting will need to be reset.

• When the batteries are installed and the unit is turned on for the first time, the year digits (2005) will flash on the display.

• The range for the year setting is 2005 to 2030. If the year reaches 2030, it will return to 2005.

1. To set or reset the date and time, press the SET button

until the setting you want to adjust appears on the display.

2. Press the MEM button to

advance the digits one at a time.

Note: If you hold down the

MEM button, the digits will advance rapidly.

3. Press the SET button to confirm the setting when the

desired number appears on the display. The year setting is set and the month digits will flash.
