3.5 Using the Memory Function

The monitor automatically stores the result up to 90 sets. It can also calculate an average reading based on the measurements from the last three readings taken within 10 minutes. 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.

Notes:

If the memory is full, the monitor will delete the oldest readings.

When viewing the reading taken without setting the date and time, “-:--” is displayed instead of the date and time.

To View the Average Value

Press the button.

Note: If there are no measurements results stored in the memory, the screen to the right is displayed.

Important information regarding Electro Magnetic Compatibility (EMC)

With the increased number of electronic devices such as PC’s and mobile (cellular) telephones, medical devices in use may be susceptible to electromagnetic interference from other devices. Electromagnetic interference may result in incorrect operation of the medical device and create a potentially unsafe situation. Medical devices should also not interfere with other devices.

In order to regulate the requirements for EMC (Electro Magnetic Compatibility) with the aim to prevent unsafe product situations, the EN60601-1-2:2007 standard has been implemented. This standard defines the levels of immunity to electromagnetic interferences as well as maximum levels of electromagnetic emissions for medical devices.

This medical device manufactured by OMRON HEALTHCARE conforms to this EN60601-1-2:2007 standard for both immunity and emissions.

Nevertheless, special precautions need to be observed:

Do not use mobile (cellular) telephones and other devices, which generate strong electrical or electromagnetic fields, near the medical device. This may result in incorrect operation of the unit and create a potentially unsafe situation. Recommendation is to keep a minimum distance of 7 m. Verify correct operation of the device in case the distance is shorter.

Further documentation in accordance with EN60601-1-2:2007 is available at OMRON HEALTHCARE EUROPE at the address mentioned in this instruction manual.

RS6 specifications

The Omron RS6 is a sophisticated and user-friendly blood pressure monitor designed for home use. Known for its accuracy and reliability, the RS6 stands out as an essential tool for individuals looking to manage their cardiovascular health effectively. With a sleek and ergonomic design, it combines advanced technology with ease of use, making it an ideal choice for users of all ages.

One of the significant features of the Omron RS6 is its IntelliSense technology. This innovative system automatically applies the correct amount of pressure to the cuff, ensuring a comfortable and accurate reading without the need for manual inflation. This feature helps to eliminate the discomfort often associated with traditional blood pressure monitors, making it a preferred option for those who may be hesitant about home monitoring.

The RS6 also boasts a large, easy-to-read display that presents measurements clearly, allowing users to quickly understand their readings. It provides systolic and diastolic blood pressure readings, as well as pulse measurements, helping individuals track their overall heart health over time. The device can store up to 90 readings for two users, making it convenient for couples or family members monitoring their blood pressure together.

Another key characteristic of the Omron RS6 is its advanced averaging feature. This allows the device to calculate and provide an average of the last three readings, which offers a more accurate picture of an individual's blood pressure trends. This feature is particularly beneficial for users who may experience "white coat syndrome," where stress or anxiety during appointments leads to temporary spikes in blood pressure.

The RS6 is equipped with a comfortable cuff that fits a wide range of arm sizes, ensuring that users can achieve accurate results. The monitor's compact size makes it easy to store and transport, allowing users to take their health monitoring on the go.

The Omron RS6 also emphasizes user-friendliness with its one-button operation, simplifying the process of taking measurements. With its reliable features, advanced technology, and focus on user comfort, the Omron RS6 blood pressure monitor is an excellent choice for anyone looking to take control of their health and ensure that they remain aware of their cardiovascular status effectively.
