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. Perfect for quick, easy  
readings at home, at work, and while travelling. It also stores up  
to 60 sets of measurements in memory and displays an average  
reading 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.)  
The OMRON Wrist Blood Pressure Monitor uses the  
oscillometric method of blood pressure measurement. This  
means the unit detects the pulse wave vibrations in the artery of  
your wrist and converts the oscillations into a digital reading.  
EN  
Clinical research has proven a direct relationship between blood  
pressure in the wrist and blood pressure in the arm. Changes in  
wrist blood pressure reflect changes in arm blood pressure  
because the arteries in the wrist and the arm are connected.  
Frequently measuring the blood pressure in your wrist will  
provide you and your doctor with an accurate indication of  
changes in your true blood pressure.  
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly before  
using the unit. For specific information about your own  
blood pressure, CONSULT YOUR DOCTOR.

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. If the values between the two wrists differ  
substantially, please check with your doctor which wrist to use  
for your measurement.  
To ensure correct measurement, apply the wrist cuff so that it  
fits comfortably around your wrist.  
• Roll up your sleeve so that the unit covers bare skin.  
• Do not apply over clothing.

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  
Diastolic Blood Pressure  
Above 135 mmHg  
Above 85 mmHg  
This criteria is for home blood pressure measurement.  
For professional office blood pressure measurement  
criteria, please refer to Chapter 8.  
• Your blood pressure monitor includes an  
irregular heartbeat feature. Irregular  
heartbeats can influence the results of the  
measurement. The irregular heartbeat  
algorithm automatically determines if the  
measurement is usable or needs to be  
repeated. If the measurement results are affected by  
irregular heartbeats but the result is valid, the result is  
shown together with the irregular heartbeat icon. If the  
irregular heartbeats cause the measurement to be  
invalid, no result is shown. If the Irregular heartbeat

)
What is Arrhythmia?  
A heartbeat is stimulated by electrical signals that cause the  
heart to contract.  
Arrhythmia is a condition where the heartbeat rhythm is  
abnormal due to flaws in the bio-electrical system that drives  
the heartbeat. Typical symptoms are skipped heartbeats,  
premature contraction, an abnormally rapid (tachycardia) or  
slow (bradycardia) pulse. This can be caused by heart  
disease, aging, physical predisposition, stress, lack of sleep,  
fatigue etc. Arrhythmia can only be diagnosed by a doctor  
through a special examination.  
EN  
Whether the appearance of the Irregular heartbeat symbol  
(
) in the results indicates arrhythmia or not can only be  
determined by an examination and diagnosis by your doctor.  
Warning:  
If the Irregular heartbeat symbol (  
) is shown  
frequently, please make your doctor aware of it.  
Conducting self-diagnosis and treatment based on  
measurement results are dangerous. Be sure to follow  
the instructions of your doctor.

8. Some Useful Information about  
Blood Pressure  
What is Blood Pressure?  
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.  
Both pressure readings, the Systolic and Diastolic, are  
necessary to enable a doctor to evaluate the status of a patient’s  
blood pressure.  
Why is it a Good Thing to measure Blood  
Pressure at Home?  
Having your blood pressure measured by a doctor can cause  
anxiety which is itself a cause of high blood pressure. As a  
variety of conditions affect blood pressure, a single  
measurement may not be sufficient for an accurate diagnosis.  
Many factors such as physical activity, anxiety, or the time of  
day, can influence your blood pressure. Thus it is best to try and  
measure your blood pressure at the same time each day, to get  
an accurate indication of any changes in blood pressure. Blood  
pressure is typically low in the morning and increases from  
afternoon to evening. It is lower in the summer and higher in the  
winter.  
Blood pressure is measured in millimetres of mercury (mmHg)  
and measurements are written with the systolic pressure before  
the diastolic e.g. A blood pressure written as 135/85, is referred  
to as 135 over 85 mmHg.

Classification of Blood Pressure by the World  
Heath Organization  
The World Health Organization (WHO) and the International  
Society of Hypertension (ISH) developed the Blood Pressure  
Classification shown in this figure.

This classification is based on the blood pressure values  
measured on people in a sitting position in outpatient  
departments of hospitals.  
* There is no universally accepted definition of hypotension.  
However, those having the systolic pressure below 100 mmHg  
are assumed as hypotensive.
