Description of the monitor • Allow an interval of at least three minutes between two successive measurements, as otherwise a congestion of blood will occur which may distort the readings. Always remove the cuff between readings. The OMRON RX-I is a very compact, fully automatic wrist blood pressure monitor. Operating on the oscillometric principle, it measures your blood pressure and pulse simply and quickly from the wrist. This means the monitor detects the pressure in your artery and converts the information into a digital reading. This monitor does not require an inflation bulb or stethoscope, so measurements are easy to obtain. OMRON RX-I uses a new measurement principle. Measuring is carried our during controlled inflation. It contains an intelligent system for controled inflation, known as “Intellisense”. This is an advanced method of oscillometric measurement. No pre-setting or re-inflation is necessary. OMRON RX-I memorises your last 7 measurements. The cuff fits wrist circumferences from 13.5 to 21.5 cm. 2 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. Battery Cover START/STOP Button • Do not use a portable phone near this unit. This unit may operate erroneously. How to measure your blood pressure Please remember: 1. Inserting the batteries Open the battery compartment on the left-hand side of the monitor by pushing the cover outwards, applying gentle pressure. Self-measurement is not the same as medical treatment! You should never change the dose of medicines prescribed by your doctor. • If you suffer from disorders of heart rhythm (arrhythmia), you should consult your doctor before using this blood pressure monitor. In certain cases the oscillometric measuring method may produce incorrect readings or no readings at all. 1 2 When inserting the batteries, make sure that the +/- poles agree with the symbols in the battery compartment. Use two identical 1.5 V batteries (type LR03 alkaline). • Pregnant women should only measure their own blood pressure in consultation with their doctor, since the readings may be changed by pregnancy. 4 3 If you do not intend to use the monitor for a prolonged period, you should remove the batteries. Holding the button down may shorten battery life. To avoid pressure on the button when transporting or storing, use the case provided. If the ( ) symbol appears, or if the display remains blank when you switch the monitor on, please change both batteries. Only use new, high-quality alkaline batteries. In some rare cases there are people where this measuring method does not work due to physical structure. In such cases OMRON recommends you to consult a doctor. 3 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. Keep it clear of your clothing but do not roll up your sleeve. To measure on the right wrist Measurement can also be made on the right wrist. Fit as shown in the diagram. Hold the bottom part of the cuff as shown in the diagram and wrap it around your wrist while pulling so that it fits comfortably. If your finger touches the shoulder, it is the right level. (3)Relax your arm and shoulder. (1)Rest your arm across your chest so that the RX-I is at the same level as the heart. (2)Be sure to sit on a chair and take a correct posture. (4)Wrap the wrist cuff comfortably. 4 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. Please button to Your blood pressure is measured during inflation, so it is important not to move. Sit still and do not move your wrist! Do not talk! Do not touch the monitor while it is measuring. Wrist blood pressure is measured at the different region from the usual brachial blood pressure measurement and may show a slightly different value. In many cases, the difference between the wrist and the brachial blood pressures can be up to ± 10 mmHg both for the systolic and the diastolic pressures for healthy people. The monitor automatically inflates the cuff and the measurement is taken within approx. 30 seconds. Should you forget to turn off the power, it will turn itself off automatically after 2 minutes. The previous reading will remain in the memory even if the batteries run down or are replaced. Once the arrow appears in the display the measurement is finished and deflation of the cuff takes place. If you wish to repeat the measurement, you should remove the cuff for at least 3 minutes because if you take the next measurement immediatly, a slight blood congestion may occur which can lead to incorrect measurements or an error message. After this the systolic and diastolic blood pressure is shown, with the pulse reading. This reading will be stored in the memory. Keep a record of your measurements. In this way both you and your doctor will have an accurate overview of your blood pressure situation. Display of measurement results Systolic blood pressure Diastolic blood pressure Pulse 5 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. The measured values stored in the memory will not be erased even when the batteries are replaced. 4. How to recall previous measured values from the memory 5. How to erase the memory By pushing the memory button, you can recall and display the measured values from the memory starting from the last measured value. This is possible after measurement or directly when device is switched off. All the measured values stored in the memory can be erased simultaneously by operating the Buttons as follows: When you push the MEMORY Button "M", if there is any measured value stored in the memory, M1 indicates the latest memory values. The systolic and the diastolic blood pressures and the pulse are displayed alternatively. While the ( M ) symbol is displayed, push the MEMORY "M" and the START Buttons simultaneously and keep on pushing them. After two seconds, the display shown to the right is indicated and the measured values stored in the memory will be erased. In order to recall the values measured previously, push the MEMORY Button "M" again. All stored measurements will be erased. Because this monitor can store the measured values, you can measure even while you are out, then recall and use the results after returning home. 6 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. Possibly the cuff was also not fitted correctly. Repeat the measurement keeping perfectly still. Do not move your arm or hand and do not talk. Attach the cuff so that it fits closely. The cuff pressure does not rise even though the pump motor can be heard. Check that the cuff is firmly fitted to the monitor. Contact supplier or OMRON distributor for repair. The batteries are weak or exhausted Fit two new LR03 alkaline batteries. In some rare cases there are people where this measuring method does not work due to physical structure. In such cases OMRON recommends you to consult a doctor. Maintenance and storage • For cleaning the monitor, only use a soft, slightly moistened cloth. Do not use petrol, thinners or similar solvents. • Stains on the cuff can be removed by carefully wiping with a moist cloth and soap.

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. 160 Mild hypertension 140 Normal systolic value 130 The lower blood pressure value (= diastolic pressure or lower value) represents the blood pressure produced by the relaxation phase of the heart muscle, during which blood flows back into the heart. 120 Pulmonary (lung) capillaries Pulmonary artery Normal blood pressure Diastolic blood pressure Optimal blood pressure (target value) 80 85 90 100 110 (mmHg) According to the blood pressure classification by the WHO/ISH* (revised in 1999) * ISH: International Society of Hypertension Pulmonary vein Aorta Vena cava Left atrium Right atrium * There is no universally accepted definition of hypotension. However, those having the systolic pressure below 100 mmHg are assumed to have hypoten sion. Arteries Veins Left ventricle Right ventricle Health and blood pressure The incidence of hypertension increases with age. In addition, a lack of exercise, excess body fat and high levels of cholesterol (LDL) which sticks to the inside to blood vessels, reduces elasticity of these vessels. Hypertension accelerates arterial sclerosis, which can lead to very serious conditions such as stroke and myocardial infarction. For these reasons it is very important to know whether our blood pressure is within a healthy range. Blood pressure fluctuates from minute to minute, throughout the day. Therefore it is essential to take regular readings to help identify an average blood pressure for you. Arterioles Venules Body capillaries Classification of Blood Pressure by the World health Organization The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International Society of Hypertension (ISH) developed the blood pressure classification shown in the Figure. (This classification is based on the blood pressure values measured by sitting on a chair in the outpatient department of a hospital.) 9
