HEM6022-E.book Page 3 Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:54 PM Before using the unit Introduction Thank you for purchasing the OMRON R3-I Plus 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.
HEM6022-E.book Page 4 Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:54 PM 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.

HEM6022-E.book Page 10 Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:54 PM 2.Preparation 2.2 Setting the Date and Time Your blood pressure monitor automatically stores up to 60 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.
HEM6022-E.book Page 11 Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:54 PM 2.Preparation 4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the month and day. 5. Repeat steps 2 and 3 to set the hour and minutes for the time. After all settings are completed the display may still be flashing. To confirm settings and shut off the unit press O/I START button. Note: The unit will automatically turn itself off after you press the SET button to confirm the minute setting when the batteries are installed for the first time.
HEM6022-E.book Page 12 Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:54 PM Operating instructions 3. Using the Unit 3.1 Applying the Wrist Cuff You can take a measurement on either your left or right wrist. Notes: • You can take a measurement on either your left or right wrist. The blood pressure can differ between your right and left wrist and therefore also the measured blood pressure values can be different. Omron recommends to always use the same wrist for a measurement.
HEM6022-E.book Page 13 Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:54 PM 3.Using the Unit 2. Hold the bottom part of the wrist cuff and wrap it around the wrist while pulling so that it fits comfortably. Note: Unless the wrist cuff is wrapped securely around the wrist, it may not be possible to take correct measurements. Smooth the cuff with your fingers to ensure that it fits snugly around the wrist. Notes: • If the fastener is not wrapped securely around your wrist, the cuff may slip during measurement.
HEM6022-E.book Page 14 Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:54 PM 3.Using the Unit Taking a reading on the right wrist Measurements can also be made on the right wrist. Fit the unit on the right wrist as shown.
HEM6022-E.book Page 15 Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:54 PM 3.Using the Unit 3.2 Correct Posture Correct posture during measurement helps you get accurate results. You should also try to measure your blood pressure at the same time each day. Notes: • Do not take measurements after bathing, drinking alcohol, smoking, exercising or eating. • Do not move or talk during measurement. Sit comfortably with your back straight, hold your arm across your chest and relax.
HEM6022-E.book Page 16 Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:54 PM 3.Using the Unit 3.3 1. Taking a Reading Press the O/I START button to start measurement. The wrist cuff will start to inflate automatically after the power is turned on. 2. After the unit has detected your blood pressure and pulse rate, the cuff automatically deflates and your blood pressure and pulse rate are displayed. Notes: • Sit still and do not talk or move until the measurement is completed.
HEM6022-E.book Page 17 Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:54 PM 3.Using the Unit 3. Check the measurement result. The unit automatically stores blood pressure and pulse rate into its memory. Refer to “3.4 Using the Memory Function”. The time and date of the measurement are displayed alternately. 4. Undo the fastener and remove the unit. 5. Press the O/I START button to turn off the unit. If you forget to turn off the unit, it will shut itself off automatically after two minutes.
HEM6022-E.book Page 18 Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:54 PM 3.Using the Unit Symbol Information: • If your systolic or diastolic pressure is outside the standard range, the Heartbeat symbol ( ) will blink when the measurement result is displayed. Recent research suggests that the following values can be used as a guide to high blood pressure for measurements taken at home. Systolic Blood Pressure Above 135 mmHg Diastolic Blood Pressure Above 85 mmHg This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.
HEM6022-E.book Page 19 Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:54 PM 3.Using the Unit What is Irregular Heartbeat? Normal Heartbeat An irregular heartbeat is a heartbeat rhythm that Pulse varies by more than 25% Blood pressure from the average heartbeat rhythm detected while the Irregular Heartbeat Short Long unit is measuring the systolic and diastolic blood Pulse pressure.
HEM6022-E.book Page 20 Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:54 PM 3.Using the Unit 3.4 Using the Memory Function This unit has a memory capable of storing 60 sets of readings. Every time you complete the measurement, the unit automatically stores blood pressure and pulse rate. If there are three readings within 10 minutes of the last reading, the average of the three readings is displayed. (If there are only two readings in memory for that period, the average will be based on two readings.
HEM6022-E.book Page 21 Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:54 PM 3.Using the Unit To View Previous Readings Stored in Memory 1. Press the MEM button, while the average reading is displayed, to view readings stored in memory from the most recent to the oldest. Systolic blood pressure Diastolic blood pressure Pulse Press the MEM button repeatedly to cycle through the readings. Note: The date and time of stored readings will be alternately displayed. 2.
HEM6022-E.book Page 22 Thursday, August 21, 2008 7:54 PM 3.Using the Unit 3. Press the O/I START button to turn the unit off. Note: If you forget to turn the unit off, it will automatically shut itself off after two minutes.

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.
