Omron RS1- Manual

Thank you for purchasing the OMRON RS1 Wrist Blood Pressure

Monitor.

The OMRON RS1 is a compact and easy to use blood pressure

monitor, operating on the oscillometric principle. It measures your

blood pressure and pulse rate simply and quickly. For comfortable

controlled inflation without the need of pressure pre-setting or

re-inflation the device uses its advanced “IntelliSense” technology.

Intended Use

This product is designed to measure the blood pressure and pulse

rate of people within the range of the designated wrist cuff, following

the instructions in this instruction manual.

It is mainly designed for general household use. Please read the

Important Safety Information in this instruction manual before using

the unit.

Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before using the

unit.

Please keep for future reference.

For specific information about your own blood pressure,

CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

arrhythmia or arteriosclerosis.
Please read this section carefully before using the unit.

Warning:

• Indicates a potentially hazardous situation which, if not avoided,

could result in death or serious injury.

(General Usage)

• Always consult your doctor. Self-diagnosis of measurement results

and self-treatment are dangerous.

• People with severe blood flow problems, or blood disorders, should

consult a doctor before using the unit, as cuff inflation can cause
internal bleeding.

(Battery Usage)

• If battery fluid should get in your eyes, immediately rinse with

plenty of clean water. Consult a doctor immediately.

cannot express their consent.

• Do not use the unit for any purpose other than measuring blood

pressure.

• Do not use a mobile phone or other devices that emit

electromagnetic fields, near the unit. This may result in incorrect
operation of the unit.

• Do not disassemble the unit or wrist cuff.
• Do not operate the unit in a moving vehicle (car, airplane).

(Battery Usage)

Display:

2.1 Installing/Replacing the Batteries

• If the battery low symbol (

) appears on the display, turn off

the unit then replace both batteries at the same time.

• The measurement values continue to be stored in memory

even after the batteries are replaced.

Disposal of used batteries should be carried out in accordance
with the national regulations for the disposal of batteries.

3.1 Applying the Wrist Cuff

Do not apply over clothing.

3.2 How to Sit Correctly

• Relax your wrist and hand. Do not bend your wrist back, clench

your fist, or bend your wrist forward.

3.3 Taking a Reading

Notes:
• To cancel a measurement, press the START/STOP button at

any time during measurement.

• Remain still while taking a measurement.

Cuff Wrapping Guide

The Cuff Wrapping Guide is a unique feature that
indicates if the cuff is not wrapped tightly enough
around the wrist. Even when the

is displayed, a

blood pressure reading will be taken.

Note: This reading is

NOT

reliable due to the incorrect

wrapping of the cuff. Please wrap the cuff again, taking
care to wrap it correctly and take the measurement
again. When the

is displayed, the cuff is correctly

wrapped tightly enough on the wrist and the reading is
accurate and reliable.

The monitor automatically stores the measurement in its
memory.
It will automatically turn off after two minutes.

This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.

Notes:
• Wait 2 - 3 minutes before taking another blood

pressure measurement. Waiting between readings
allows the arteries to return to the condition prior to
taking the blood pressure measurement.

• The blood pressure can differ between the right arm

and the left arm, and therefore also the measured
blood pressure values can be different. OMRON
recommends to always use the same arm for
measurement. If the values between the two arms
differ substantially, please check with your physician
which arm to use for your measurement.

Warning:

Self-diagnosis of measured results and treatment are
dangerous. Please follow the instructions of your doctor.
