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.
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.

2.Preparation
2.2 Setting the Date and Time
Your blood pressure monitor automatically stores up to 60
measurement values in its memory and calculates an average
value 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.) To make use of the
memory and average value function:
• Set the unit to the correct date and time before taking a
measurement for the first time.
• If the batteries have been removed, the date and time setting
will need to be reset.
• When the batteries are installed and the unit is turned on for
the first time, the year digits (2005) will flash on the display.

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.
Taking a reading on the left wrist
1. Place the wrist cuff over your left wrist with your left thumb
facing upward.
Note: Make sure that the wrist cuff does not cover the
protruding part of the wrist bone (ulna) on the
outside of the wrist.

2. Hold the bottom part of the wrist
cuff and wrap it around the wrist
while pulling so that it fits
comfortably.
Note: Unless the wrist cuff is
wrapped securely around
the wrist, it may not be
possible to take correct
measurements.
Smooth the cuff with your fingers
to ensure that it fits snugly around
the wrist.
Notes:
• If the fastener is not wrapped
securely around your wrist, the
cuff may slip during
measurement.
• If you have a slender wrist, the
cuff may feel slightly loose.
However, this will not affect
measurement results and you
should not force the cuff to fit.
• The remaining part of the wrist
cuff can be conveniently folded
back out of the way.
• If the remaining part of the cuff
is difficult to fold back,
measurement results will not be
effected.

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.
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
symbol ( ) is shown after you have taken a
measurement, repeat the measurement. If the Irregular
heartbeat symbol ( ) is shown frequently, please
make your doctor aware of it.

What is Irregular Heartbeat?
An irregular heartbeat is a
heartbeat rhythm that
varies by more than 25%
from the average heartbeat
rhythm detected while the
unit is measuring the
systolic and diastolic blood
pressure.
If such an irregular rhythm
is detected more than twice
during measurement, the Irregular heartbeat symbol ( )
appears on the display with the measurement results.
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.
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.

3.Using the Unit
3.4 Using the Memory Function
This unit has a memory capable of storing 60 sets of readings.
Every time you complete the measurement, the unit
automatically stores blood pressure and pulse rate.
If there are three readings within 10 minutes of the last reading,
the average of the three readings is displayed. (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.)
Note: When 60 sets of readings are stored in memory, the
oldest set will be deleted to store a new set.
To View the Average Value
Press the MEM button.
If there are no measurements results
stored in memory, the screen to the
