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 measure-
ments 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 oscilla-
tions 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.
