Introduction

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON R6 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 travelling. 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.

Important Safety Information

Consult your doctor during pregnancy, arrhythmia and arteriosclerosis. People with poor peripheral circulation may find that results for measurements taken at the wrist vary from those taken on the upper arm. Please read this section carefully before using the unit.

Warning:

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, could result in death or serious injury.

(General Usage)

• Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement results and self-treatment are dangerous.

• People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should consult a doctor before using the unit. Cuff inflation can cause internal bleeding.

(Battery Usage)

• If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with plenty of clean water. Consult a doctor immediately.

Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided, may result in minor or moderate injury to the user or patient or damage to the equipment or other property.

(General Usage)

• 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 disassemble the unit or wrist cuff.

• Do not inflate the wrist cuff over 299 mmHg.

Important Safety Information

• Replace old batteries with new ones immediately. Replace both batteries at the same time.

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

• When the batteries are replaced, you may need to reset the date and time. If the year is flashing on the display screen, refer to “2.2 Setting the Date and Time”.

• Do not use new and used batteries together.

General Safety Precautions

• Do not inflate the wrist cuff when it is not wrapped around your wrist.

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

• Do not take measurements after bathing, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising or eating.

• Do not wash the wrist cuff or immerse it in water.

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.
