Important:

RX-I Blood pressure measurements are not possible in cases of severe arteriosclerosis (hardening of the arteries).

The pulse display is not suitable for measuring the frequency of cardiac pacemakers.

Please be sure to wrap the cuff around your wrist before starting to mea- sure. Furthermore, do not inflate the cuff without wrapping it round your wrist.

Do not use a portable phone near this unit. This unit may operate erroneous- ly.

Please remember:

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 rea- dings at all.

Pregnant women should only measure their own blood pressure in consul- tation with their doctor, since the readings may be changed by pregnancy.

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.
