RX-I English Important: Diastolic Blood Pressure/ Pulse Display Systolic Blood Pressure Display • RX-I Blood pressure measurements are not possible in cases of severe arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries). Pulse • The pulse display is not suitable for measuring the frequency of cardiac pacemakers. Wrist Cuff Memory Call Button • Please be sure to wrap the cuff around your wrist before starting to measure. Furthermore, do not inflate the cuff without wrapping it round your wrist.
RX-I English 2. Fitting the cuff If the cuff is not fitted comfortably and firmly, correct measurement is not possible. Place the cuff on your left wrist with your thumb pointing up. Align the edge of the cuff as shown in the diagram. The remaining part of the wrist cuff can be conveniently folded back out of the way. 10 - 15mm Place the wrist cuff on bare skin.

RX-I English When you press the ON/OFF(O/I)button, all the symbols on the display light up briefly. This serves to check the display. Then all the symbols go out and the air release symbol ( ) begins to flash. When the symbol ( )appears, the monitor is ready to begin measurement. If a measuring error has occured, this will be indicated by E or EE refer to the instructions on page 7. Measurement of blood pressure is now complete. Press the turn power off.
RX-I English 3. Memory function The measured and displayed blood pressure and pulse values are automatically stored in the memory. If there is no measured value in the memory, the display shown to the right is indicated when the MEMORY Button "M" is pushed. The memory can store the values of up to 7 measurements. Once the memory has 7 measurement values the next reading will be stored and the oldest reading will be erased.
RX-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 EE A correct reading was not possible because measurement was impaired by movement or speaking, or owing to a very weak arterial pulse.
RX-I English Calibration 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 for the OMRON Customer Service at the address given on the packaging/ attached literature. Operating temperature/ +10°C to +40°C humidity: 30% to max.
RX-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. Severe hypertension 180 Moderate hypertension 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.
