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.

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.

8. Some Useful Information about
Blood Pressure
What is Blood Pressure?
Blood pressure is a measure of the force of blood flowing
against the walls of the arteries. Arterial blood pressure is
constantly changing during the course of the heart’s cycle.
The highest pressure in the cycle is called the Systolic Blood
Pressure; the lowest is the Diastolic Blood Pressure.
Both pressure readings, the Systolic and Diastolic, are
necessary to enable a doctor to evaluate the status of a patient’s
blood pressure.
Why is it a Good Thing to measure Blood
Pressure at Home?
Having your blood pressure measured by a doctor can cause
anxiety which is itself a cause of high blood pressure. As a
variety of conditions affect blood pressure, a single
measurement may not be sufficient for an accurate diagnosis.
Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of
day, can influence your blood pressure. Thus it is best to try and
measure your blood pressure at the same time each day, to get
an accurate indication of any changes in blood pressure. Blood
pressure is typically low in the morning and increases from
afternoon to evening. It is lower in the summer and higher in the
winter.
Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg)
and measurements are written with the systolic pressure before
the diastolic e.g. A blood pressure written as 135/85, is referred
to as 135 over 85 mmHg.
