R5-I English 7. Memory function If there is no measured value in the memory, the display shown to the right is indicated when the MEMORY Button "M" is pushed. SYSmmHg SET DATE/TIME The memory can store the values of up to 21 measurements. M The measured and displayed blood pressure and pulse values are automatically stored in the memory. The values measured for more than 21 times will be automatically stored in the memory, but the values measured most previously will be erased.
R5-I English Possible faults, their causes and rectification Faults and their possible causes Rectification Faults and their possible causes The blood pressure values displayed are extremely low or high, or they are implausible. Refer to the instructions and then repeat the measurement. Rectification Incorrect measurement is indicated by E , EE or EE E E E A correct reading was not possible because measurement was impaired by movement or speaking, or owing to a very weak arterial pulse.
R5-I English Calibration Operating temperature/ +10°C to +40°C humidity: 30% to max. 85% relative humidity The accuracy of this blood pressure monitor has been carefully tested and is designed for a long service life. It is generally recommended to have the monitor inspected every two years to ensure correct functioning and accuracy. Please consult your authorised dealer or the OMRON Customer Service at the address given on the packaging/ attached literature.
R5-I English General information about blood pressure Systolic blood pressure (mmHg) The blood circulation is responsible for supplying the body with oxygen. Blood pressure is the pressure exerted on the arteries when the blood flows through them. The higher blood pressure value (=systolic pressure or top value) signifies the blood pressure produced by contraction of the heart muscle and subsequent pumping of blood into the arterial system.
R5-I English Measuring your own blood pressure daily enables you to recognize high blood pressure at an early stage and obtain medical treatment. Example: Fluctuations within a day (Patient: male, 35 years old) The oscillometric method of measurement determines your blood pressure by measuring the pressure fluctuations (oscillations) caused by the pulse waves.
