Notes on safety
Important instructions for obtaining meaningful readings
• Avoid eating and drinking (alcohol), smoking, sport and taking medicines before measuring
your blood pressure as this could affect your blood pressure level.
• Before you start sit comfortably on a chair and relax. It is recommended to check your blood
pressure at least twice a day, in the morning after getting up and in the evening after work, or
as advised by your doctor.
• Do not move and do not speak while the measurement is being taken. Avoid measuring your
blood pressure while you are in a moving vehicle.
• Allow an interval of at least three minutes between readings. Otherwise congestion of blood
might occur and distort the readings. Always remove the cuff between readings.
• Bare your wrist and take of your watch and jewellery before applying the cuff. Do not
constrict the flow of your blood if you push up your sleeve.
Cautions
Blood pressure measurement is not suitable in case of serious arteriosclerosis (hardening of
the arteries).
• The pulse rate indicator is not suitable for monitoring the frequency of cardiac pacemakers.
• If you suffer from disorders of heart rhythm, known as arrythmia, you should only use this
blood pressure monitor in consultation with your doctor. In certain cases oscillometric
measurement methods can produce incorrect readings.
• Pregnant women should only measure their own blood pressure in consultation with their
doctor since the readings may be changed by the pregnancy.
Please remember: Self-measurement is not the same as medical treatment! You should
never change the dose of medicines as prescribed by your doctor!
Before using your OMRON R7 for the first time
Your blood pressure monitor: the benefits
The OMRON R7 is a compact fully automatic wrist blood pressure monitor. Operating on the
oscillometric principle it measures your blood pressure and pulse rate comfortable and quickly
from the wrist. It contains an intelligent system for “fuzzy” controlled inflation, known as
“Intellisense”. This is an advanced method of oscillometric measurement. No pre-setting of reinflation is necessary.
The OMRON R7 has a Position Sensor. The Position Sensor is able to determine the optimal
height of your wrist (heart level) for the blood pressure measurement. Measuring at the heart
level is extremely important since measuring at a higher or lower position will give wrong results.
The OMRON R7 has a large DOT matrix display enabling you to enlarge the digits and
showing you graphs. Together with the built in alarm function for same time measurements or
pill intake your OMRON R7 is the optimal device to manage your blood pressure.
