PULSE/min
The OMRON MX3 Plus measures your blood pressure and pulse simply and quickly
from the arm, without the use of an inflation bulb or stethoscope. The measurement
values are stored in the memory of the OMRON MX3 Plus.
The OMRON MX3 Plus includes a standard cuff for arm circumferences ranging from
22-32 cm. Optional large cuffs (32-42 cm) can be applied.
Introduction
1How to obtain meaningful blood pressure readings
